I get so upset when my internet connection drops meanwhile people are suffering in other parts of the world. We live in a bubble.

Birth control can keep the human population down without causing undue suffering or potential economic instability.

And if you advocate social Darwinism, stop being a hypocrite and kill yourself. The non sequitur in your post alone suggests you're one of these "dub fuckers" that would have been taken out under a full implementation of that ideology long ago.

@misjudgeme Birth control can help but will not solve the problem. Fuck the economy! I am sick and tiered of people carrying more about the economy instead of the wellbeing of people and the environment in which they live. In todays society if you can't make enough money from saving peoples lives then it's not worth it.

yea.. if we all adopted that mindset, the concept of society wll slowly fade away, because we have lost track of the collective wisdom and the virtue of interdependence for survival and is deeply rooted within our system in the society.. if they die, u quite possibly have a slowly decreasing chance of survival.. even despite a rapidly expanding population, if we were to distribute resources more effeciently and effectively, there is really no need for any lost of lives for ur so called 'balance'

[popitypop]

thts not entirely true.. dogs for example, have sex when ever they have it is favourable i.e. the male is potent and the female is in season.. similarly humans are also very much driven by our instincts and desires (ID) that are inherent to us as a derivative from animal ancstors, while some of us could possibly be more rational most of the times, we still tend o be horny, and procreate anw.. but anw, there are many other reasons for our procreation-affluence,peace,pr­olonging our legacy

[popitypop]

most are treatable man.. only this new strain isnt..

[ant11500]

I think Ted did it. These are just Diversinary tactics

[romeoneverdies]

actually i may be wrong....

if we raise the standards by witch we live et minimize our impact on the earth i believe that human population will become stagnant et reverse

it is because we feel we need to procreate to maintain our legacy that we do . thus the more our legacy as a person is ensured the less we procreate .... just like any lifeforms
