Jimmyboy: We are on the way to being f**ked.

Incorrect.

Data shows that we're beginning to correct ourselves. Many women are delaying marriage and making babies. When they do decide to bring a child into the world, they do so in smaller numbers than ever before.

Humans raising litters is a rarity now. Unless the quivverfull movement catches on in a very big way, we don't have to worry too much.

/birth control should be free
//as should abortion, on demand

Then we start the countdown to 8 billion. Duh.

The comments in this thread should be sane and well thought out.

FlashHarry: the fact that it took several hundred thousand years to reach 3.5 billion and then just 30 or so to double it is just farking terrifying.

Not really.
/Math, how does that shiat work?

7,000,000,001? I was told there were be no math, but I'm fairly confident with this answer.

Too. Many. People.

Let's work on saving the people we already HAVE on this planet, instead of the unborn- mmmk? Free abortions!

Somebody should write a modest proposal to solve this.

Occam's Chainsaw:
We've been headed that way since day 1. The exception would be us not being on the way to being f***ed. That would set us apart from every other species on the planet.

The funny thing is, if not for us, most of the other species would not be farked at all. I know, I laugh every time I think about it.

Of course the people making this shiat happen are the poor Indians/Africans and others who can't keep it in their diaper

The Grinch

They had a lot fewer people USSR FAIL we should be at about 100million now then there might be a chance of species survival

Then there will be even more people on this planet that I don't care about.

Almost time for a good cull.

Malthus will be vindicated.

What's crazy to think about is that perhaps 3/4 of the total number of the people who EVER EXISTED from the beginning of time are all alive and here RIGHT NOW.



/...and now someone will point out how grammatically I left the window open for the possibility of a caveman being alive right now.

My guess is dinner time for some hungry alien race.

Neutron bomb Africa. Wait 10 years before going back. Lots of natural resources and the planet's population went down markedly.

Back up your statement with data then.

Captain Trips, where are you when we need you?

Omahawg: tommy malthus says you'll learn to love soylent green

Can I get the kind that has more girls?

Grand_Moff_Joseph: teto85: ecmoRandomNumbers: A few major collapses in the food delivery system and we're back down to 3 billion.

That won't really start until we get to about 9 billion and elect more Republicanshave a few water wars first.

FTFY.

I assume the list is shorter on things this ^^ twat doesn't blame on repubs.

Two attitudes need to change if we're going to avoid over-population:

1) Birth control is a sin. Actually, I'm a little hazy on why people take sexual advice from a celibate man in a dress.

2) A man's worth is measured by how many times he knocks up his wife. A big family is not a sign of status, it's a sign of wanton excess (I'm looking at you, Sheik bin Bangen)

3) (and nice red uniforms...) A boy is preferable to a girl. China tried to deal with its overpopulation as only a repressive dictatorship can, and the inherent sexism in their culture managed to completely fark it up. If we go to war with China, we'll be fighting 50 million sexually frustrated men who can't find a wife (or even a date). The Blue Balls Division is not one I'd care to go up against.

Lux Lambert: The comments in this thread should be sane and well thought out.

What do you mean by that?

Not really. They're all still farked just as hard but it might take a million years. No species lasts forever.
Besides, if humanity dies then current species reassert themselves. If we survive, then new ones will evolve to thrive in a human-dominated environment. You're just not looking long-term enough.

Sarah Palin's Conscience: /birth control should be free

No!

You don't want to have kids? Tie that shiat up.

Then quit putting these all over the place:



I don't know about you, but all I wanna do is FARK. Perhaps our collective unconscious is telling us to fark ourselves to extinction?

then nothing


the earth can support 30 billion simply by not eating meet and only using the land currentlyunder cultivation. another 20 billion on top of that by cultivating even more land, using oceans for seaweed and kelp and another 50 billion using genetically enhanced crops

monty666: Seven billion other people in this world and I still can't get laid when I want to.

I'm pretty sure you can get laid whenever you want to. Problem is you have some standards and will not be up to it. There's a lot of fatties/uglies out there begging to be boned.

The Ghost of Tom Ace: I don't know about you, but all I wanna do is FARK.

So say we all

Nature always wants to return itself to balance, and I'm just speaking of nature here on Earth. So if we get out of control, it's either we start moving off this planet, pull a Genghis Khan and start wiping people out, or let an asteroid/comet put us all out of our misery.

Personally I would prefer that the 4 Horsemen come out to play.

Mentat: The global population growth rate has been dropping since the 70's. Some countries such as Russia, Japan and China are facing major demographic shifts as their populations age. Interesting, the US is doing ok due to immigration. Some predictions suggest we could be facing a global worker shortage in the next few decades. There are going to be problems over the next few decades, but right now it looks like things are starting to level off.

It's okay though. We wouldn't have a job crisis if we had a dozen less million people here in the States.
