The world is overpopulated? Says who? All I've seen are UN affiliated studies. And it's not like those are reliable either! Often times those who endorse the idea of thinning the population actually benefit from Eugenics as a business.
The truth is we are only over-populated in CONCENTRATED AREAS! Do you know how much unpopulated space there is in Arizona? Compare with the cities.
As for resources, considering the fact corrupt governments try to regulate and monopolize our resources in favor of lobbyists like American Electric, it makes sense that we see this illusion of somehow "running out" of resources.
Also, isn't global warming a scam?
Anyways, I'm just curious, but how did you come to the conclusions you made in the first post of this thread? It sounds to be like you're regurgitating propaganda they shove down our throats in high school.
But if I HAD to answer, I propose we send some politicians to the moon. Starting with Dick Cheney and Al Gore, then move down the list to people like Ben Bernanke and Hilary Clinton. I'm also pretty suspicious of Bill Gates since he profits off of Eugenics and Monsanto.
Oh my god. Can you get any more idiotic? Get the fuck out of SD.
How does he come to these conclusions? How the fuck do you come to your retarded assumptions? Unlike you most people come to these conclusions because they read and research into scientific publishings and findings rather than putting on their tin foil hats. Seriously, i bet you're one of those illuminati fuckwit believers.
@OP - Don't red text for fucks sake. It's SD, no one cares about that pansy shit, it not only makes your text jarring and hard as fuck to read but makes you appear to be a child seeking attention.
Population rise is going to stagnant in Western countries and already has been for many decades now. As people become more aware to child birth and the impact that carries and of sexual diseases, the rate of child birth seems to drop. Heading into the future, most of the human population growth will come out of third-world countries like in Africa as they advance up the cultural and technological chain. Melinda Gates has recently promised the Gates Foundation will invest 560 million into contraception by 2020, which is a great initiative to say the least.
However, the issue here is not overpopulation, we've well got enough resources to handle a population twice the current size of today, the issue is the impact of our consumption. The effects can be seen and most evident in our ocean ecosystem. Basically the way things are going, and it might already be too late perhaps, our oceans are going to get absolutely fucked over. http://www.greenfudge.org/2011/06/21/new-study-on-the-state-of-our-oceans-fubar/
There are a lot of problems that our population size is causing, and there is no clear one answer solution. The only way we can thwart many of the dangers of a high human population consumption society is to raise awareness on such issues. Though even in saying that, it probably won't do much because you're asking people to go back in lifestyle which is nearly impossible to do. At this stage now, future awareness might help shift public and government opinion into funding more money into new technologies and research, which realistically is all we can hope for.
