World Overpopulation
POLL: Is the world overpopulated with people?
 The world is definitely overpopulated. There should be more wilderness
 Current population is fine but we should obtain zero population grouth
 We won't have to worry about overpopulation for a long time.
 The more people the better. More people = more happiness

I would like to hear your comments.
I have a theory: I think people that are more religious think the world was made for people and the more the merrier.
I think people that are less religious are more likely to think we are overpopulated and encroaching on the wilderness.

Re: World Overpopulation
The earth can support up to 10 billion people, including wildlife. It's just that we all hudle up into small areas. We need to spread out. This way it relives the stress on the cities, and wild life pressure will be relived and could spread.

Canada, norther california, oregon, washington, montana, arizona, texas, 95% of canada, 90% of alaska, nearly 89% of Russia among others...

The Earth is more than capable of supporting our population and many more...It's selfishness primarily, that is the problem...

Take a look at this video...

It shows that (2 minute mark) that if all 7 Billion of us (the new est pop this year)would stand shoulder to shoulder it would only fill the area of Los Angeles. Resources/pollution etc is another matter....

Texas could house the entire worlds population in a small town USA environment. Complete with parks and town squares, homes with yards for kids to play in, schools, libraries, hospitals industrial parks, roads highways, rail airports etc etc etc. Everything needed for a nice lifestyle.

Over population is codeword for genocide on the most massive scale ever!

Why genocide? If people would simply have one child per couple for the next ten generations the standard of living would increase so much all humans would be rich.

Only a brainwashed fool would fly across the US and still say there is plenty of wilderness.
When you fly over the Midwest you will see that all the fertile land is now farmland to feed people. That used to be tall grass prairie where buffalo could roam for a hundred miles without fences.
Fly over the northeast from Massachusetts to Chesapeake bay and you will see nothing but dense cities separated by suburbs without a hint of wilderness anywhere.

We could achieve that wealth through the system of greenbacking the federal trusts which are as of now a sick joke and tremendous millstone around the neck of humanity. Use some of those funds to build six nuke plants to convert lignite to gasoline at 80 cents a gallon making America energy independent. No, over population is a farce and a genocidal scam.

The key to holding down population growth is to have more freedom and prosperity in all parts of the world. Poverty stricken areas always have high population growth. When a country gets more modern and prosperous, population growth slows down.

Nice try yet a lie. Yet you completely ignore the west. BTW America has more forest now than anytime prior to the Revolution. That includes east of the Mississippi. I lived in New York state, nothing but forest. Same for most of the Northeast. Even fuckin New jersey has lots of forests.

I agree. And it's a very totalitarian and self serving concept. It comes from elitists who want just enough poor people to serve them but not so many that they have to share the resources with them.

Nature takes care of overpopulation. Science interferes with nature and causes overpopulation. For example modern medicine is the main cause of overpopulation.

Actually the world has lost almost half of its forests in the past 30-35years. Mostly due to deforestation in the Tropics.

 Quoting: ExShemaleBarbi


How do you plan to enforce this rule of one child per couple? If you don't, then why even bring it up since it's not something that can be done without totalitarianism and force of law, like in China.
