If we don't consciously make the decision to have one or fewer child, then the Nature will take its course to sustain itself.
Surely, food is not being distributed equitably. However, we are, indeed, losing arable land due to climate change and other natural disasters. So, it isn’t true that there is plenty of food for everyone.

WHO has convinced you of this? WHO has convinced you that "nature" has a mind of it's own, that it's gonna take matters into it's own hands to expunge the planet? The hardcore pagans who worship the Earth as their "mother", but hide under the label of environmentalists? You now have succumbed to a religious belief whose mantra is that man is nothing more than a parasite. How sad and tragic that you cannot see the darkness that has consumed you and our leaders, the darkness that God Almighty states that He will give it's short season to rise before the end of this Age. A darkness that has managed to convince untold millions that they are no better than an animal or parasite. A darkness that rules through fear, terror, lies and deception. A murderer from the beginning.
"They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--who is forever praised. Amen." Romans 1:25
You choose to ignore the culpability of groups who rape the planetary resources on one hand yet fund the environmentalists on the other. Don't you see it? The've brainwashed you - you cannot see how evil deceives. You cannot see how evil has denigrated your created humanity to nothing more than a "parasite" and you believe it.
Great change is coming to the world, change unlike anything that humanity as a whole has ever seen before – Great Waves of change all converging at this time. For humanity has impacted the world in so many ways, and the results of that impact are now gathering – gathering strength, gathering force, converging at a time when humanity is largely unaware and unprepared.
-From “The Great Waves of Change – Navigating the Difficult Times Ahead”

yes it is true. We are loosing arable land, bot this is an issue that can be addresses if we move away from the present system. There is no need to kill billions of peeps to achieve this.

Too many adults around here in USA get married in their teens or early 20s, have a few kids, divorce by mid 20s, remarry, have a few more kids, divorce again, remarry have yet a few more until the female can't have anymore (around 40-45?) and still then i know some woman who had their 3rd or 4th litters in their mid to late 40s without much care as to birth defect risk increases etc.. the govt pays for their kids nowadays LOL
Then theres China and India where the planned parenthood is the noble thing to do but likewise its in one ear out the other.
How many kids doe everyday due to neglect/starvation?
What a bloody shame, breeders.edit on 6-3-2012 by BiggerPicture because: (no reason given)

Declining energy and natural resources... wow. You really do support your local congressman don't you? There are enough alternative and proven alternative energy sources to eliminate oil, coal and all fossil fuels within a 10 year transition. Solar, Geothermal, Wind, Tidal, Pneumatic are all proven, plus we have eCat, Rodin/Vortex plus a slew of other emerging technologies that will be more than adequate.

Climate and catastrophic weather is a varied and always changing issue. While I cannot speak to the multitude of causes, I assure you that while we do have an influence on our environment, if everyone acted responsibly to the environment, I am sure through technology and decreased direct influence, Mother Nature would share the planet.

Loss of arable land fresh water is of course always an issue, the lack of efficiency in our daily lives is spectacular. The lack of efficiency in our industrial lives is so far beyond what is reasonable it is not even close to sustainable, you are right. SO, is it that there are too many people or too many people wasting? Definitely the latter. Arable land is also something that can be influenced through technological advancement and implementation of current technology. Once again, the causes are not the size of the population, but the way in which we live.

Pandemic diseases are a result of too many people living in squalor with a lack of environmental standards. They are also the result of laboratory work getting out, they are also a result of lack of diligence in our hospitals and health care places. You cannot say that these happen because of MORE people.

Escalation of worldwide conflict is a result of the leadership of people, not the quantity of people being led. The economic reasons for the worldwide conflicts are mentioned previously. Conflict is the only thing that pays right now. Until we change our attitudes and stop believing in the mythical money fairy handing out an existence, we will continue to have these problems. If the population was the cause of the worldwide conflict, why did the Mongels kill nearly 20 million people back in the 13th century when there hardly any of us around?
Conflict is almost always about resource acquisition either out of necessity or out of greed and ambition.

Last I heard you could fit everybody inside the state of texas, giving each a 36x36 space. Over population is a myth, and a farce. There is plenty of land for every person to have for their own, but it's all locked by government.
Since I live near an Air Base, all the "reservations" around me are locked down by the military, and I know there are hundreds of thousands of acres of land just around where I live, I can only imagine how much is everywhere else.
It's a myth, if you don't believe me, look up how much land is locked by the government.
