We can thank the people of the third worlds and Englund, for they are the ones whe let in the churches who preach to have a good life is to have a large famalie, why do you think China kicked all the churches out after ww2 when mao toke over he saw the problem, but india, is still caught up in religious fortitude.and they all run over here because they think the grass is greener.

On a personal level, I've been crowded out of each home town I've lived in, and I hate it.
It would start off as an orchard, then developments take over orchards, then commercial moves in, then industrial.
The two lane roads replaced by four lane, and the small rural home lots turn into apartment complexes. Mass population and economic cycles turn friendly neighborhoods into poverty and gang territory.
A casual drive to the market and to work turns into gridlock.
Electrical systems are overloaded. Sewer system is overloaded. Water systems are pushed to the limit. Roads go unmaintained. Then comes the restrictions on personal liberties in order to control the crowds. I hate this.
7 Billion people in the world in 2011, just thirty years ago (1981) it was 4.5 Billion. This is unsustainable.

The question is, why aren't the PTB concentrating on mega de-salination plants along suitable locations along coastlines (that don't have an adverse impact on the environment)?
If overpopulation was a problem, which its not, how would you go about 'fixing' said problem?

One (or two) child policy in overpopulated countries, distribution of condoms and sex education, birth control available for free.edit on 19/4/11 by Maslo because: (no reason given)
What happens if someone has twins or triplets? Do we shoot them in the head at birth?
And what would be the punishment if someone refuses to listen to that policy?
Im just trying to understand your Nazi logic.
This policy is only called one-child policy, but in fact it is one-birth policy, so twins or triplets are not a violation.
There are many alternatives, just as with any other violation of the law or regulation: increased tax, fine, reeducation, public work, low amount of jail, forced sterilization... you name it.
Nazi? It is a policy of communist China, not nazism.

I think you are very wrong!! Overpopulation is a huge problem and I hate to write this, but I believe that the we actually need the so called NWO to deal with that problem. If we had a world with no deceases, no wars, clean drinking water and food for all, plenty of clean energy etc. we would all be doomed!!

Starvation and disease would eliminate a large portion of 3rd world populations. As long as said diseases are contained, it would be quite effective. Your problem is you involve too much emotion in the thinking that "Oh no!!!!!, we can't let people starve, that would be horrible!!!!!". Animals starve in an overpopulated ecosystem every day. It is no different with humans.
Eliminating money? That will NEVER happen.
As for Kamen's purification technique, this appeared on a site detailing the process:
produces 10 gallons of clean water an hour on 500 watts of electricity
Is that scalable to the size needed in order to be effective? Where will the energy come from to power it? Who will pay for it?
No offense intended, but it sounds like you are living in a bit of a fantasyland. Lets deal in reality here.
Oh so its okay to have more than one child as long as the children are born at the same time? That makes sense.
Kinda like how the people behind these one child policies all have huge families huh? Its okay for THEM to have large families, but the slaves are only able to have one to continue the slave race. Did I get that about right?
Like being loaded on a train before being shot in the head in shallow ditch? Oh, this time they can just FORCE the slaves to be sterile. That sounds humane.
And the difference is?
Yes, it does.
When they can afford to pay the fine, why not? The purpose of the policy is to limit children of the poor. Why limit children of those that can easily take care of them?
Yes, it is humane, contrary the the shooting. What is inhumane is allowing the poor to have many children, so that they live in bad conditions.
Oh okay because you quote below that the reason behind this is to limit the children of the poor because they cant pay for them but as long as their born at the same time that poor family can pay for them....... you've lost me.

No, it makes sense from simple biological standpoint. There is no way how to choose the number of children mother brings into this world in one birth, twins and triplets happen (heck, I have a twin). Therefore we cannot punish anyone for having more than one child at once. One-birth policy.

I keep wondering where this idea of over population keeps comming from, or the idea that we can't substain our own species. Do you think every bit of food in the grocery store is consumed? No, in fact the stores throw out a great deal of food.
How about water.... this planet is covered by it. How do countries like Japan survive with it's numbers. Surely there isn't that much underground water to drink.... oh yeah, the purify the ocean. It's not hard, cosidering the tech is out there.
How about farmable land? Ok.... you got me there... but... oh wait... I live on the 5th floor of a building and i have a small garden on my balcony. It's called potting soil, and compost.... Compost, our everyday bio-degradable trash.
How about energy... we can't live with out our oil...cept... we have the sun, the wind, and various other renewable sources for energy. If the oilmen would let us even try to make that more practicable. And why is it infinately more to own a hybrid or biofuel car?
"But how many is two many... if we aren't over populated now, when and what then?" First of all, lets face it, 7 billion people is alot of people. A record high of living humans on this planet. However, we aren't maintaining the same growth levels seen in the past. In the US we topped out with the largest population increase of almost 6 percent, during the year 1946. Since then, it's been a steady decline to the now 1 percent of residents.... and that's not all us citizans. "Globally, the growth rate of the human population has been declining since peaking in 1962 and 1963 at 2.20% per annum. In 2009, the estimated annual growth rate was 1.1%." (Wiki) All it takes is a series of natural disasters to happen, to put us in the negitives.
"But we need to save the earth." Nevermind the fact that greed has put the planet in it's peroloius position in the first place, lets pretend that just our mere natural existance is causing pain to the planet. I have 1 word for you guys. Dinosaurs. They were taxing the planet of their day and what happened? They exinct. I'm sorry, I have to go with George Carlin on this. It's not the Earth we need to save.... The Earth will be just find after our exinction. WE WON'T!!
