    Re: World Population

    I believe that natural disasters, and war will keep the human race in check.

    Not saying we should have more of it.

    Feel several different pains, before they're colored pure red
    Make a little chance! Start connecting us into to tomorrow, ready and go!
    No matter how many times I keep going down, in these unending rounds
    I'm gonna keep up! We can create hope, it's our story!

      Yay people support me.

      Natural disasters and war already happen often enough without anyone's meddling; why would one want to encourage this? If we just make a concerted effort to give people tools to better themselves the problem will resolve itself.

        Re: World Population

        First off even though world population is a problem, laws restricting people from having children in poor countries isn't necessary. It cost resources to enforce these laws and chances are that most poor countries won't enforce them. Now I'm going to answer your question. Quote: So my question is how can we control the world population? The answer is to do nothing. Eventually the world population will grow to a point were the resources are going to reach a low (but not crictial) point. In turn the cost of these resources are going to go up to a point where only a few people can afford them, and they will have to resort to not having children (because raising children costs money and there isnt enough resources to raise them) in order to survive. Even though many people might not survive for a couple of genorations when the world population stabilizes, humans will have learned there lesson, and the resources will have recovered.
        The end.

          First of all, I'm pretty sure that it's almost impossible to control the world's population. China has attempted to prevent families from having lots of babies, but instead all that leads to is little babies getting killed (especially girls, since the Chinese like to have boys).

          Secondly, are you focusing on any specific resources when you say that the earth only has so many resources? Although there is an impending food crisis at the moment, there is more than enough food for everyone, although the issue is who can access our resources. Also, it is only a relatively small percentage of the world's population that uses our resources so recklessly. The population in the poorer parts of Asia as well as Africa is almost irrelevant to resource consumption.

            All we have to do is remove signs like "warning, sticking your hand into this blender will hurt you" from everything. Bam, a lot of people are gone.

              Technically, companies that do not provide the necessary disclaimer to the product will get sued by the consumer if he/she gets effected from it.

              See where this is going?

                Obviously you a) realise that he's just saying something trying to be funny and b) if this were somehow to be done, it would be accompanied by laws forbidding the filing of a lawsuit for personal injury caused by products that weren't demonstrably faulty.

                (mind you if you ask me, even WITH warnings, people should only be able to sue based on demonstrably faulty products)

                  A bunch of countries are in the more advanced in medical technology. This makes it so that people live longer, more babies are born without dying, more people are being saved from diseases and other things (like car accidents, loss of blood, etc.) Two things happen because of this:

                  1) People aren't dying as fast
                  2) Less babies are being born

                  In fact a bunch of countries are having minor problems due to their growth. If it wasn't for immigration, Canada and the US would lose more of their population due to the death rate beign slightly higher than the birth rate. Look at all the third world countries. More babies are born because the children die easily, so yes a family might have 5 kids but most likely 4 more have died due to disease, death during birth etc. The developed countries don't have this problem.

                  And for enforcing the birth rate... how? Especially in developing countries. Wat are you going to do?

                    There is so much empty spaces in places like Nevada, etc, there is enough space for people, the problem is we just waste too much I guess.

                      No, it's because the black hole scientists have named Las Vegas has sucked everything into it.
