Sure there needs to be population control. If you don't conrtol how many are in teh population, it gets harder to control the population in general.
you don't want more citizens than you can crush in a revolt.

Here, I'll do you homework for you:
1 square mile: 27,878,400 SQUARE FEET
Jackson County Florida has 954 square miles.
27,878,400 X 954 = 26,595,993,600
26.5 BILLION square feet. Now lets divide the worlds population into that ans see how much room each and every person on the globe has to themselves to stand on:
Let's just round it up to 7 Billion people.
26,595,993,600 divided by 7,000,000,000 = 3.8 square feet per person on the damn globe!!!!
Are you freaking kidding me that we're "overcrowded"????
Every person on the globe could fit in Jackson County Florida WITH ROOM TO SPARE.
Oh, BE MAD!!!!

That guy is such a puppet. I don't even think he understands who is even
pulling his strings.
Second: Anyone drive through the mid-west into the west?!
Trust me there is plenty of land left.
Project: Spread The Hell Out should be implemented before
depopulation.

What makes you think this has anything to do with having enough room?
This is about carrying capacity of the planet, not space.

Again, who said anything about not having enough room.

The planet is one giant ecosystem, and as everyone SHOULD know,
ecosystems only have a certain carrying capacity before they fall apart.

The only retarded belief here is the one where ignorant people think the planet can support more and more people.
It simply cant.

What an completely arbitrary concept!!!!!
You guys had better pray it's something else, because to claim we're "overcrowded" is beyond retarded.

So what you're saying is that electricity and consumer products weigh more then a human life? you do realise this is the same mindset as people who believe in contaminating entire populations for the sole purpose of depopulation right?
its a fact that this planet has limited resources. But its another fact that we havent reached its limits by a longshot yet... However if you take into consideration that us westerlings demand certain "assets" in our lives wich goble up a whole lot more resources then yes... the africans and nigerians (hahaha just noticed this, people from n i g e r i a) and all unfortunate enough to live in a country laggin behind should be wiped out so we can enjoy a bublebath, sauna, homecinema and 2 or more cars on our driveways without depleting earth's resources...
How crooked is the current way of thinking if this is really our solution to current resource-problems..
I am shocked to read that many people actually agree with these barbaric solutions.... Why base our solutions on maintaining our high standards of living? wouldn't things go uphill quite fast if all of us westerners would be forced to take a step or 2 down on the consuming-culture instead of demanding "others" to get sterilized?
The last thing to add: It would be wise to keep in mind what part of society is responsible for the current resource-problems.. us westerners... would it be fair to have the poorer parts of the world (who really goble up less resources) pay for our consuming?
