What will we do about Population Growth/Overcrowding??

[4.2O]

The world population continues to rise at a very rapid pace.
The population will be like double what it is now in MY lifetime.

Eventually we will have to do SOMETHING.
What do you think the answer is?
Laws restricting the number of kids we can have?
Space Colonization?
Genocide?

Its scary to think about because you know something DRASTIC will have to happen. The Earth simply cannot support the number of people who will be living in this world in the not so distant future?

Interesting tidbit from a geography class last week:
1 out of every 6 people in the world is a chinese peasant!

aldeady started seeing the effects of it already. there are people starving all over the world for lack of food... the poorer countries are going to be what are the hardest hit... ones that cant afford all the advances in agriculture... quite simply we are going to run out of food and fresh water sometime soon. maybe the whole global warming issue that were dealing with now, is natures way of keeping the population in check. i live in north dakota, and this year was the first year since 1999 that we have had a decent wheat crop on my side of the state... the other side of the state has been dealing with flooding ours drought. now if it were to happen on a much broader scale, which it has started to happen already, the food shortage will be much more worse then it would be due to just population growth. now if on top of this all, we go through a couple of really hot years, then the temp plummits into an ice age, thing of how many people will die from that. if half the earth is covored in ice, there will be epic food shortages, epic water shortages, and genocide of many animals. whatever may happen, our generation is on the verge of something major happening for the worst. by the end of the centry, a epic disaster will happen. best we can do right now is try to live the best we can and hope we dont add anymore the problems that are starting to unfold

All these poor people without food and here we our in America, thinking about which day of the week we wonna smoke mary jane on. My goodness. hah

We will either solve the problem ourselves or nature will solve it for us through ecological collapse, economic collapse, social collapse, starvation, disease, and war. People in a lot of the world are intimately aware of hunger and they know exactly where thier food comes from. Most people in this country do not know where their food comes from or how the economy, the environment, and the climate contribute to what they eat. A sudden change in the cimate is likely to result in a lot of people in this country and the rest of the world getting a good lesson in hunger, starvation, and ultimately cannibalism.

The Chinese have the right idea in their concept of no more than one child per marriage. They haven't acheived that goal yet, but at least they are trying.

There is an expression I've heard from parents who declare that by having children they've "contributed to the population". The exact opposite is true. The less you procreate, the better it is for the human race, the earth's ecology and other species.

We can all live on the estates of the rich people. They can't control all of us vagabonds.

Yeah. Good idea, tragically implemented. I fail to see how forced hysterectomies for women who have had multiple pregnancies is the 'right idea'. And the issue that better-off Chinese families can now afford to have ultrasounds and abort the 'undesirable' female fetuses. It's just one happy place, huh?

Your new avatar, by the way, is in exceptionally poor taste. Maybe you should stick to the evils of grain as a cause- In case you haven't noticed, a lot of our members have, and cherish, their own families.

He's only trying to say that he doesn't want a baby with a beer-gut.

Or, bow legs. I can't tell.

I am all for the genocide and totally eliminating all 3rd world countries.
Pretty much everyone on the planet would have to die if I had my way and only enough people would be allowed to keep me in oil & gas for my motorcycles, tires, riding gear and food.

the weight from all the people is going to knock the earth off its axis and send it hurdling toward the sun..We are ALL gonna die!
