You could fit the entire global population into Long Island. So the world is not overcrowded.
The problem is our consumption. Running a super yacht for half an hour uses as much fuel as an Indian village uses in a year. We pollute ecosystems, overfish the oceans, not to survive, but because we can. That is the problem.
We also clump together in big cities, which creates a very convincing illusion of overcrowding.
Yeah, some people don’t ever think about their children as long as they get their food stamps, child support, ect. Having children is not a right. If you don’t have your ducks in a row like having a steady income not living paycheck to paycheck basically, or just managing your money poorly, and other things, then you’re not ready for a child. Yes, children deserve to have two parents, this why you marry before you have kids. I was fine with being a choice mom as long as I had my own place, and wasn’t always working, so I can spend time with them, but since I fail at everything, evolution will have to forget me. Plus, people don’t have me to reproduce because they hate me, yet they don’t want to leave.
About the human population, it is believed to continue to soar to 9 billion. 9 billion months to feed, resulting in a lack of resources that earth can provide will result in a lot of people suffering.
About my momentary cessation, maybe it wouldn’t be a problem, if I had a loving serious relationship with an intelligent functioning adult, but that would be like asking for world peace. Besides, don’t date anymore because I now have a fear of being ghosted or stood up, so I’ll have to bite the bullet, and deal with this sexual problem. Sorry for my emotional dump.
The whole kid thing should be well thought out before subjecting them to this thing called life. After all, they don’t ask to be born.
The emotional dump is ok. We all need those.
Blue Diamond, if you ever are in the mood for a weird 1970’s Sci fi movie, check out “Soylent Green.” Its about the overpopulation of the planet because humans just can’t stop reproducing, destruction of resources, and a voluntary euthanasia program that has bizarre results. . . See, there’s no fresh food being produced globally, and, hey man, the people have to be fed. . .
lol I always thought “Soylent Green” was some kind of hippie drink instead of a movie made in 1973. Well…44 years and we have still not learnt a thing.
What makes you think our “ground beef” isn’t already Soylent? Ground beef isn’t even 100%, and those that are, proudly advertise that they are, which means what the heck is the rest? This mystery meat that they’re shoving down our throats?
Or “ground” anything. CBC did a show that showed the majority of the chicken sandwiches from chain restaurants/fast food places don’t even contain 50% chicken. What’s the rest made of? Do you even wanna know??
Didn’t Taco Bell have some kind of scandal recently because they wouldn’t or couldn’t identify the exact contents of their ground beef? I forget. It was somebody.
Hm…I had 4 hot dogs yesterday… I should prolly never buy packaged hot dogs ever again. I felt gross afterwards, but I was like, I bought this s***, I’mma eat it. O_o
I think when you discuss these issues, you really have to look at the actual data.
Much of the developed world is actually looking to encourage people to have more children to sustain the population. I’d personally argue it’s hypocrisy to worry about that and then bar immigrants from coming in. But whatever.
The point is (again) it’s not that there are, or will be, too many people. It’s that we consume too much. If we all based our lives more around our needs and less around our wants, there wouldn’t be a problem.
We are literally committing mass suicide by overconsumption.
Yeah it’s fucking India and China that are populating the fastest. Like India is leading 2:1 babies born per every few seconds, whilst America is third 4:1 then Brazil. I hate these fuckers lmao. No more kids!!! I don’t even like the adults. I’m convinced they’ve ruined the pleasantness of earth.
Yeah it’s fucking India and China that are populating the fastest. Like India is leading 2:1 babies born per every few seconds, whilst America is third 4:1 then Brazil. I hate these fuckers lmao. No more kids!!! I don’t even like the adults. I’m convinced they’ve ruined the pleasantness of earth. I made a depopulation plan without genocide, would be forbid procreation for 5 years, then allow for specific age groups, then forbid in series of time.
I fucking hate restrictions on freedom. I don’t care if certain countries are reproducing more kids or not. Down with Communism! Down with totalitarian and authoritarian governments! No more being constantly watched by the American government, no matter where you live!
Fuck all this, you guys should NEVER support more restrictions or more of a police state. Do you really want this to be like North Korea?!
Woah, I didn’t mention anything about Communism. It was just a thought. Calm down. Calm down. Since you want to go that route, more people equal more consumption, and the earth can only give away so much. I know muspellum is right that is consumption that’s the problem, but that means that people will have to lay a poorer standard of living to make up for the other people. There are a lot of people draining our governments, while they spit out more deadbeats. More people mean more competition from jobs to resources, which will make life stressful. Sadly, I hate that the government has to step in sometimes because people are too irresponsible.
Since I study conspiracy theories, it’s believed that depopulation is already in effect. The chemicals in the food apparently contain more estrogen, which is affecting men. Though the food does effect women’s fertility as well. It is making sterile and feminine. Yes, feminism can be to blame for men acting more female. Speaking of feminism, which Rockefeller supported because let’s say he saw the bigger picture. It had nothing to do with women’s liberation, but meant that the other half of the population can be taxed, the mother won’t be around to take care of child, thus the child can be raised by the government, and wait of it. Division of the sexes, which leads to depopulation. Take look at the world around you today. Japan’s population is in a crisis, and it believed that America will head in that direction as well.
New World Order aside, maybe depopulation won’t be a bad thing. Maybe it could be in own best interests. Look at animals disappearing, as we increase. We’re humans. We always want more. Depopulation is for our own good, but I’m a crazy lazy who spend too much time on the internet.
Think of how horrible things would be if there were laws for people not to have children. Some would, and maybe they’d be hunted down and euthanised. Others would be forced to have abortions. This world already sucks, and I don’t want to see North America and other first-world countries become like Communist China or Iran, where artists are imprisoned just for creating art, and they have to follow a state-ordered religion.
More laws will NOT solve problems. Factories can make food easily. I know those can cause pollution, but it’s better than making peoples lives even more hell-ish.
Why can’t we a parent test to see if someone can qualify to have kids. It could save a lot of damaged people. How about two kids for each person, then sterilization. I would probability fail the parent test.
As much as I’m for the eradication of ALL homo sapiens, and agree that many parents shouldn’t be parents, we cannot have an authoritative body tell us can and we cannot be allowed to have progeny. This would subject people to Eugenics.
Yeah, the eugenics had to stop because the Nazis took it too far. I read that in 18th century that if someone was mentally ill, then they were secretly sterilized. Other countries may not care about human rights, but my country does, so eugenics is out of the question. I just want less people in the world.
My dear, it’s more humane than anything. The only way to end all suffering is to end all life on this pointless ball of dirt. It’s all a futile balancing act between good and evil that we try to justify, and that we try to use to justify our arbitrary existence where we endlessly and meaninglessly suffer. There’s no point to that, no point to an arbitrary existence, no point to an arbitrary system of things. It’s completely and utterly random. Chaos. And we try to make order in this little speck of existence, like we can control our world, scheming in futility to control everything and everyone. It has no end, and no beginning. Humans are an unworthy species. The problem isn’t that we make bad decisions, it’s that our brains our so inept at functioning that we make those decisions over and over again. The root of the problem isn’t the results of the incompetence, it’s the incompetence itself. Not only is it the incompetence, it’s the ACCEPTANCE of incompetence BY the incompetent, who are so incompetent that they view incompetence as a fact of life, which they are incompetent at fixing, or so they declare, DUE TO THEIR INCOMPETENCE!
Hmmm. . . A perpetual incompetence machine, brought to you by Humanity, Inc., makers of the Incompetency Mobius, it keeps going and going and going. . .
@Icarus: No offense, but everything you just wrote is merely your opinion. You can’t know any of that for certain… and if anyone on Earth DOES know what’s really going on, they sure as hell ain’t keen on telling the general public.
Yeah, I don’t buy the overpopulation nonsense. I think it’s just more bullshit The Elite push on us to further their NWO agenda. I believe there are simply too many people crammed in one place.

But population isn’t the problem. Consumption is.
Abso-freaking-damn-lutely. I couldn’t agree more.
Hello BlueDiamond, I see you mention a momentary cessation in coitus. Well, human reproduction seems irresponsible to me. Do you think so too?

Like the old saying about what hot dogs are made of: Lips and assholes.
Hm…I had 4 hot dogs yesterday… I should prolly never buy packaged hot dogs ever again. I felt gross afterwards, but I was like, I bought this s***, I’mma eat it. O_o
idk…all I can remember about Taco Bell is that employee licking all the shells before serving it to the people…
ALL the fast food sh*t we eat have questionable ingredients. They’re all evil, but we’ll continue to eat there regardless. Such are the humans we are…
This is partly why I’m a vegetarian.
When scum rules the world only more scum is born.
That was a little unnecessary. It was almost… CREEPY!

Are you proposing to be Patient Zero?
What’s a patient zero?
Don’t you think this role is pretty big in comparison to the amount of people in it? Don’t allow them to brainwash you to
Yeah, I don’t buy the overpopulation nonsense. I think it’s just more bullshit The Elite push on us to further their NWO agenda. I believe there are simply too many people crammed in one place.
But there’s like 7.5 billion people on this planet, and soon it’s going to like 9 billion. No, no, no, we are way too populated.
