There's aids, there's sars, there are natural disasters that cause a lot of people to die. Looking at the world getting more and more crowded. I'm thinking that in the long run, these events prevent overpopulation. I know a lot people die of these things, and this thread is not meant as a joke. It's just, the world seems to be going mad in an exponential manner. |

Thats very true. Considering the amount of people that have these diseases plus all the other things. I wonder if there is a graph somewhere that compairs the number of people that are/have been dying as opposed to our world population |

our only saviour would be a comet bigger than earth crashing into us. i know that sounds very negative but it's most likely true. |

something that big tends to have a stronger gravitational pull, so it would be us hitting that rather than that hitting us. ...i think. |

overpopulation is a good thing for capitalism, so unless capitalism gets taken out I don't think that the government will tkae active steps towards populaiton control, (I think there's countries out there that have a one child limit for pop. control purposes or something, china or japan I assume) |

china it is |

india maybe ? |

|

doesn't china also have a problem generally controlling hteir population? like, they've got a problem with the streets being littered by homeless and presumably unregistered citizens or soemthing too, and they have a "rich north, poor south" thing as well don't they? |

hopefully not in my lifetime or my kids, or my kids kids kids... it seems bleak, but very true. equality is our saviour. (fat fucking chance) |

For that you wouldn't even need a comet 1/16th the size of the earth. Though there's no comet that big. |

ah right yeah i sort of knew it didnt have to be that big. but it would be fun to see it coming if it was. lets just hope earth gets sucked into a black hole then. if that's possible. |

Save us from what? are we really in that much trouble? It might seem so, but taking into account that human beings have always felt guilty for their actions, my vote is no. |

People in third world countries tend to have a lot of children because they want security when they are older. Many children die and so they have lots to ensure that there is someone there to look after them when they grow old. If the number of people that suffer from these diseases was reduced then people would gradually start having less children and so the population would be decreased anyway, without as much pain. Also, if we could educate people that condoms aren't evil and do prevent disease then there would be less pregnancy as well. |

Overpopulation is cancelled out by lack of food for the enitre population. This is what keeps animal populations stable. If a breeding pair have too many offspring then then it is harder to feed them, resulting in less offspring reaching maturity. The same should theoretically apply to humans who have more offspring than they can support, the major difference between animals and humans is welfare, meaning a human mother can have more offspring than could be supported without the handouts. Also, advances in science are causing an overpopulated planet, since medicines keep people alive for longer. |

been reading a cool book about genetics, it explains a few simple steps that mankind could take to give a longer life expectancy, etc. It is logical, but to put it into practice would be a horrendous task. |
