If you had the chance,would you decrease the world population to a reasonable number? - Page 2

I agree with Everyneurotic, there are a lot of wastes of human life out there. And also, the overcrowding could be humanities downfall unless we find some other way to destroy ourselves.

!@#$%! · 09.05.2006, 02:59 PM

now, now, we aren't feeling a little bitter, are we?

as for the talk of "vermin", no offense intended, but the rhethoric reminds me of the speeches of a certain fuhrer...

Agreed.

I wouldn't want to mess with the natural cycle of things.

If we don't find means to deal with our growing population, we'll simply starve, die of famine, and be narrowed down again.

I think good ol' mother earth can support a lot more than she has on her if utilized correctly. Think vertically. Instead of Levittowns, we should be building viking like huts furnished modernly with adequate space for families with agriculture growing above them. You gotta think vertically. Look at the Jetsons. People living in the clouds above the ocean.

All this talk of controling populations reminds me of those doctors who went to poorer countries and sterilized women.Or tested the birth control pills on Puerto Ricans. And all that nonesense.

Well it's easy to say Malthus wasn't wrong because there's always that chance...
However, he hasn't been right yet. In fact, he changed his own opinion shortly after the publication of the infamous essay.

A public poll. Splendid

I told you guys already about the large number of families with 4 or more kids I've seen in the past few weeks...these are the same people who buy SUVs becuz "[they're] the only vehicles large enough to hold all of our gifts from God"...

Apparently it's far more important that many children come into the world, no matter the condition of the world they come into.

acousticrock87 · 09.06.2006, 01:03 AM

No. But I think that the existing population should get a clue about limited resources and energy economics. You know, trivial stuff like that. But not if it interferes with their standard of living. Wouldn't want to upset that...

I am all about mass homicide, creating a utopia in which I would rule singularly, and allow both survival and reproduction based on my personal criteria of worthiness.

I see nothing wrong with this.

Tokolosh · 09.06.2006, 02:38 AM

Welcome back darling. Everything ok?

jon boy · 09.06.2006, 02:40 AM

sure there are plenty of people who dont deserve to be here.

maybe they could all go live on the moon or under the sea or something.

I can't wait for the (inevitable) colonization of space...
