Reply #25: Over-population [View All]

[More_liberal_than_mo]

You just hit the nail on the head. This planet, not just our country, has too many people. We already, world-wide, have more mouths to feed than can be fed with all the available food being produced. People already are starving to death in many parts of the world. The only viable solution is to reduce the number of births, that or genocide, yet the right-wing religious zealots among us still insist on forcing women to have babies that they can't support. Failure to reduce the birth rate will have to result in mass starvation, disease and of course, war as nations compete for limited resources.
I predict that sometime within the next century, probably sooner rather than later, there will be a major correction to the world's population. Something has to give. A global epidemic that kills 50 per cent or more; or a global war than kills 100's of millions.
