Sometimes I really wish there were less people in the world. I don't mean that I want anyone in particular to die, I just mean that I sometimes wish a large chunk of the earth's population would vanish from space-time entirely so that they never existed. We're taking up too much space and we're giving the other animals on this planet a tough time. I know, survival of the fittest and everything, but we have weapons and they don't so we're not being fair. I know, we humans technically don't have caws or horns or anything and I think that clubs are a good solution to that, but guns? electric fences? bulldozers? That's not fair! We're cheating!

Also, I often hate how all the land around me is owned by someone. A house and the land it's built on is private property. I can't just wander anywhere I want because all the land is owned by someone. Why do we humans have to own everything we see? More stuff needs to just belong to the earth.

Sometimes I wish someone would come and say "Alright, here's what we're gonna do; in 100 years we're all going to go back to traditional farming, there's gonna be a lot less food to go around when we do that, just a heads up." everyone would stop having so many kids and the population would drop without any sort of mass starvation.

I remember I used to talk about this sort of think with my mom, she didn't like it so now I don't talk about this sort of thing while she's around.

Sometime I wish I was from another planet - one with more space.

All we have to do, is get rid of the NT teenagers, and than we'd be set. They can all go to Mars, the planet of war, where they can stab each other, in the back. :idea:

Heh, it matters little to me. Even though there's 6-7 billion or whatever people in the world now, I only know about 20 people. :?

A friend once told me that life can be difficult anytime you are living on a planet with more than 3 people.

I guess he would agree with you. :arrow:

On the one hand, I agree with you about too many people. Minus the hippie animal crap. Wich is a bunch of BS.

On the other hand, Humans are the Earth's greatest natural resource. In a world with less people, people with disabilities like Autism's would be more of a burden on society and, probably would be less 'tolerated' then they are now.

No chance in hell. Catholicism and Islam are both "aggressive hegemonising swarm objects" out to cover every last inch of the world with their faithful dupes. Until both religions (and a bunch of lesser ones) are destroyed they aren't gonna stop before things go Malthusian on our collective ass™.

(edit) That's a little unfair. IIRC Iran, of all places, has a birth control programme, indicating a surprisingly sane connection to reality.

Have you heard of VHEMT (Voluntary Human Extinction Movement) :?: :arrow:
"Phasing out the human race by voluntarily ceasing to breed will allow Earth’s biosphere to return to good health. Crowded conditions and resource shortages will improve as we become less dense."
