the world has 3 times the food to feed every1 once

Mosher is a great man who will probably only be appreciated when he is dead. He is prophet for our times. I more & more wonder how people in 2111 will speak of us in our present age. How profoundly will they hate our present generation? When the Baby Boomers start dying off. The birth dearth they've left behin in their wake will be a great catastrophy for them to recover from. Such a population collapse has never occured w/ a plague to precipitate it. This has been a plague of evil ideas.

[Kevin Gary]

Excellent Speech!

[Iamename]

You are all assuming the effects of overpopulation would be immediate which is plain madness! The argument that under-5 deathrates is decreasing and life expectancy increasing are the SAME THING and we have a few people to thank for that, one of them being bill gates. This is in no way evidence that the world is fine and we can continue to expand.

They have detailed explanations and list all their sources.

The site is by the PRI as well, btw.

to hell with adenda 21, keep on bonking.

[Haminette]

You don't have a point or argument. So, why did you comment? That problem is not the doing of that commenter, so why are you trying to put them down? And, sarcasm doesn't carry over well online. Type what you mean, dumbass.

[Haminette]

The habitat destruction is not being caused by you and me. It's being caused by the same families that push the Agenda 21 crap. They first make the problem, then try to sell you a solution to it that gives them more control over you. They have no guilt in intentionally trashing the Earth to scare you into voting for them, so why do you want to support them? Oh, I'm sorry... Did you think that people who don't tell farms and factories how to operate were the ones at fault? Idiot.

[hogo1]

yes, let just fill it up with concrete and houses, and farms.....fuck natural areas and the other species that live there. Fuck solitude.

[hogo1]

The governments should concentrate on creating better people, not more.

[hogo1]

this guy doesn't mention how it is risky to have our population always teetering on the edge of the carrying capacity. What happens if the sh!t his the fan? What happens if a powerful plant pathogen wipes out some staple crops, like a stem rust called Ug99. What happens if we have an incredible hot year like 1998. 7 billion is enough, hell, maybe 4 billion is enough.
