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

Problems with the chinese?

I'd nuke the U.K.

Why?

wtf?
why?

if anyone has to go... its the gay community

jking...

There we go. The gun wipping creepto as at it again.
What a toss!!

90 % is a good percentage.Do you like comics?

I don't really want to take out anyone already here, I just wish folks would embrace the Zero Population Growth idea....

If we as a species just started reproducing ourselves....1 to 1....2 per couple and THAT'S IT....then it'll STILL take over 50 years to have our world population start to level off.

If you look at our growth....the line was fairly level up to about 200 hundred years ago....then with medical advances and 'creature comforts'...the 'level horizontal' line has become so steep as to be vertical. We are out of control. Even the countries who's population growth rate is less than 2...aren't keeping the rest of the world from overexploitation of reproduction.

...and it reallys gets my gaul...but when people say...'There's nothing we can do about it'....BULLSHIT !! We can't stop tornados, hurricanes, many natural disasters...but WE CAN stiffle our ridiculous over-reproduction....!!!!

Dont even get me started about the Mormons !!!


Less IS more !!!!!

i hate comics

yes, i reckon i have guns and im not afraid to use em, i tell you what

I don't find pigeons a threat.

I do.Do you like me?

no need to regulate population. nature takes care of such matters & things balance out in the end. trust me. plagues, famines, inflation... trust me, neither darwin nor malthus were wrong....

i dont mind you.
i dont know you in person, we're all a little different on the web.
im sure you're a wonderful person, but you do talk a lot of shit (to me, at least).

Every human being has an inherit right to exist.

i reckon i dont either.
i just felt like killing one because i was excited about my Huntin' Trip that weekend... where i killed many a other animals, i tell you what.

Do you think that i'm a number too many?

it's the accent.

it's also the inordinate number of seeming poofters.

But mostly it's the accent. okay, i'd give you guys a week to stop butchering the King's English, and if you still talked like that, I'd have to push the button. Sorry, mate.

nahhh
i was kidding about the gay comment.
to be honest, i dont give a damn about over population.
i do my part by donating and what not.
my parents have adopted (or send money to) a couple of kids in africa and south america.
theres nothing i can do, so i just try not to worry about it.

hell yeah, half the world doesn't deserve to be alive. not because overpopulation, there's a lot of vermin among humanity that deserve to be wiped out.

I'd like to deal with criminals, certainly. But I don't really believe that the planet is overpopulated as such.

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.

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.

you must be suicidal.

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.

shit yeah. me first. you can take care of the rest.

You would eliminate yourself?

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.

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.

Welcome back darling. Everything ok?

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...

Whoever survived wouldnt have learned anything . It would solve nothing .

i would be a lot happier though. so its all ok haha

Woahw! We seem to have at least 12 potential dictators on the board.

Yeah its pretty win-win isnt it .
1 ) lots of people go down . less awkward incidents fighting over the last jumbo pack of kinky-klown brand anal beads
2 ) you go down .
