I like the idea of hippy commune living...

minus- vegan food.
minus- song night.
minus- tons of little kids running around naked.

BUT, it IS ok for the non-kids to run around naked. LOTS of dope smoking I'm thinking.

Patchouli will grow on you Heffay (in light of the above sentence)

If its true, everyone here is invited to my house which happens to be secluded in the Arizona desert.

Bring tools, seeds, books and booze. 

Just sayin'

You got peyote buttons growing in your desert?

As populations go, cities catch hell first (just like any overcrowded cage)...
A shame, really, because there go most of our most educated, our intellectuals, etc. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't want to start a rant but most of our educat(ors) and intellectuals have never been outside of a city, or at least don't know anything about what is outside of cities and that's a great problem for the countryside.  The policies that govern what happens are made by economists from the banking and trading industry.  I couldn't say manufacturing industry because I'm not sure there is one left.
Chris Hedges wrote a wonderful essay about the systems managers that graduate with MBAs.  The problem is that they do what they are told and do it very well.  It's too bad they don't ask why they are doing it and expect a better answer that that it's to maximize profits.
In short, I think the educators and intellectuals have been more a part of the problem that the solution.

There, I feel better.

I guess I cant say I want people to die from a disease. Yes I know the planet is over populated, but it is easy to be for a mass killing until it is a family member. I bet those of you for this would not want to see your kids die a slow painful death wondering why their parents could not save them. People for something like this should be taken out of the gene pool.

Have any of you bothered to check where 1/3rd of the worlds population is? Does china and India ring a bell? The US has probably about 400 million.
India - 1,147,995,904    JJuuuussstttt a few more people. Like 3 times the number.
China - 1,330,044,544   Remember when they were WAY ahead of everyone else? India is not far behind.
Earth - As of April 2009, the Earth's population is estimated to be about 6.77 billion.
So those TWO countries have 1 THIRD. The US is not the issue except people cluster in a few large cities.

Also the continent of europe has more people than the north american does.

So I will agree we need less people but I would rather see it from birth control as in limiting the number a kids a family can have. Sorry but we do not need an octo-mom or a another duggar family with 17 kids. Families should have no more than 2 kids. Population would slowly decrease as some people never have kids.
Certainly not a fast fix, but it would prevent the population from growing.

I worry more about the amount of dirt being taken up by graveyards. people and religion better get used to being burned to ashes.

That article said that the current 5 year plan ends in 2010, but will continue indefinitely.

Yes but it alsa says that china is practicing birth control to help slow their population growth, something India does not appear to be doing other than standards such as rubbers or anything practiced here.

Right. But what I'm asking, is if the whole world needs to regulate their respective countrymens procreation, like China does?
No.

Maybe. Like I said, I do not think people should have more than 2 kids under any circumstances other than stillborn or something like that.
I doubt people will do that however, so population will grow until something MUST be done and then people will need to have a license to have 1 child.

there's always "peak oil" and how people think we're all going to starve because we can't farm or truck produce everywhere.

I'm 100% supportive of the birth control idea.  one or two kids/family.  with two, it's just 0 population growth.  with one, we actually start decreasing in numbers.  Factor in people who never manage to have kids for one reason or another, and that could be a great benefit...

...but we'll still continue to have people with litters.
