It's a common phrase not normally used in a rude manner or taken to be rude. But I don't know how well you two have been discussing the subject.

It most certainly was rude. "to move your eyes around in a circle because someone has said or done something stupid or strange:" https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/roll-your-eyes "Looking upward with an expression of contempt, often combined with a sigh. Used to indicate frustration and annoyance with the stupidity of a person or thing." https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Rolls eyes "Eye-rolling has been defined as a passive-aggressive response to an undesirable situation or person. The gesture is used to attack the targeted person without physical contact, and usually considered an immature response." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye-rolling

But hey don't mind me if I take something the way that the overwhelming majority of humans would take something. :rolleyes:

There is also evidence that I haven't link to that more babies are aborted than are born in places like New York City. So yeah for me it does seem the down fall of Toys are Us was at least in part due to mass-murder of children or the mass prevention of the existence of children.

As of 2015 according to the https://www.health.ny.gov/statistics/vital_statistics/2015/ there were ~235,964 live births in New York and ~26,309 abortions. In New York City proper as of 2015 the live birth rate is ~62.7 per 1,000 women ages 15-45 whereas the abortion rate is ~32.8 per 1,000 women ages  15-44 as of 2015. https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/doh/downloads/pdf/vs/2015sum.pdf  So no there isn't evidence that there are more abortions than live births in New York or New York City... because thats bunk.

Overly hyperbolic... that being said the rates of abortion in America is a bit tricky... but I would be unsurprising if New York City, which has high population density, has more anything because there are more people. Also important to note that abortions across the United States are at record lows, in particular in States like New York. https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/govbeat/wp/2014/02/04/in-30-states-abortion-rates-havent-been-this-low-since-at-least-1976/?utm_term=.4b2b459a5cc6 and https://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2017/01/daily-chart-16

Which is missing the point... proportionality doesn't mean actual numbers...

Because if you look... this is from the census.gov link... there are more children male and female in all brackets compared to their 1960 amounts. But due to longer lifespans yes there will be more older people... but that is kinda the unavoidable reality of longer life spans... people get older.

I really don't care about the drama between you guys. But to complain about someone being rude and going out of the way to try a prove it was rude then doing the same thing is just dumb. 

And it was a CNS news article I was thinking of which was based on a report "entitled, Summary of Vital Statistics 2012 The City of New York, Pregnancy Outcomes, and was prepared by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Office of Vital Statistics."

Which showed more black children are aborted than are born.

Other than that it's Good Friday and I can't spend too much of thst time on people who appear to be both rude and contradictory. I'm just not convinced that abortion and contraception isn't the leading cause in there being more older people than younger.

You were the one who commented on it... I didn't go out of my way to show it was rude you brought it up.

Please... pay attention to what you type.

The source of the article is sketchy. ( https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/cns-news/ ). Not to mention racist! ( https://www.cnsnews.com/blog/michelle-malkin/stimulus-slush-fund-housing-entitlement-thugs ).

While it is regretfully true in New York City proper more African American pregnancies are aborted than are brought to term, it isn't because of higher rates of abortion, rather it is due to low rates of pregnancy in general. https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/doh/downloads/pdf/vs/2015sum.pdf You can see this on page 30. Also nationally African Americans have more births than abortions http://www.politifact.com/texas/statements/2015/nov/25/cynthia-meyer/cynthia-meyer-says-more-black-babies-are-aborted-n/

There is absolutely no contradiction on my part. Moreover that you have shown.

Unplanned pregnancy prevention, which includes contraception but not limited to, is a major reason shift downwards in birth rates among the young up to about age 25 and in those who are older generally speaking over 45. In fact almost all of the decrease in American birth rates is accountable to teen and young adult pregnancy decreases.

And as I showed abortion nationally is decreasing... which means if abortion is a factor it is not a major factor.

But... I took the time to find sources, explain them, was reasonably polite/charitable, and made a basic benefit of doubt that you were approaching me in good faith... this 'you can't spend too much time on people who appear to be both rude and contradictory' (which is rude and uncalled for, really really just uncalled for)... and ending on 'pax' which is kinda amusing and perplexing (You get that it means peace right? Do you ordinarily tell people peace after you insult them?)

Though I agree... if that is how you feel... you shouldn't spend a single nanosecond on me. And seeing how you respond to evidence I am not convinced that even if you did it would be particularly useful to you.

Hope your Good Friday gets better... and Happy Easter.

The “toys r us” company claims in its annual report that its income is linked to birthrates, and it appears to be right.

 

Even adjusted for the aging population and declining share of women of childbearing age, U.S. fertility rates are at all-time lows.

That’s problematic for Toys R Us, which also operates the Babies R Us stores. The company claims in its annual report that its income is linked to birthrates, and it appears to be right.

The change in the number of children born in the previous 12 years (and thus sitting right within the Toys R Us demographic), tracks closely with the company’s changing annual revenue.

Except not. As I have repeatedly shown to you even from your own articles...

I mean if you want to be the fool I am not bothered one little bit. But I am not going to continue to treat you like an honest and sincere individual till you start acting honest and sincere.

The United States just hit a 40-year low in its fertility rate, according to numbers just released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The 2017 provisional estimate of fertility for the entire U.S. indicates about 3.85 million births in 2017 and a total fertility rate of about 1.76 births per women. These are low numbers: births were as high as 4.31 million in 2007, and the total fertility rate was 2.08 kids back then. The United States has experienced a remarkable slump in fertility over the last several years

Japan’s birth rate problem is way worse than anyone imagined

By Ana SwansonJanuary 7, 2015

Japan’s population shrank by its largest amount on record in 2014. Roughly 1.001 million people were born and 1.269 million people died last year, leaving the country with 268,000 fewer people overall.

Japan’s declining population has a powerful impact on its economic situation, and not for the better. An aging population leaves the country with fewer workers and more dependents. And conventional wisdom says aging leads to slower economic growth and more deflationary forces, both of which make it more difficult for Japan to chip away at the substantial debt burden from its economic crisis at the beginning of the 1990s.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the US 2017 birthrate is going the same way as Japan, the pill (birth control) and abortion played a major roll

Old people will outnumber children for the first time in America’s history

Adults 65 and older will soon outnumber children for the first time in America’s history, it has been revealed.

The US Census Bureau released new projections this year that showed the country’s changing – and aging – demographics.

By 2030 all baby boomers will be older than age 65 and one in every five Americans will be retirement age.

its no wonder that Old people will outnumber children for the first time in America’s history


In United States today 665.8 abortions will be performed
US since 1973: Roe vs Wade 61 million abortions have taken place in the USA
 Planned Parenthood, since 1970 performed 8,291,626.6 of them
this year, Planned Parenthood performed 315,382.8 of them

the need for migrants (illegal aliens) is directly related to the abortions that have taken place in the USA

I think that this fact is odd considering  most of the abortions are justified for economic reasons
