I read the information on those websites and I found it very implausible and frankly illogical.

I have clearly stated why I think that overpopulation is a problem. This is my opinion from my experiences in my own country and in South Korea especially.

I never mentioned anyone being forced to do anything. I don't advocate coercion. If people want to have dozens of children, they should be free to do so. However I think this is stupid and irresponsible and those that do want this should be educated about the dangers posed by saturating the planet with more of our species. The costs of adequately feeding and educating a child should be enough to dissuade most people from having more than two children.

People should have the choice to use contraceptive, abortion or sterilisation. They should not be forced to do this.

I do not care if some people do advocate this, I don't. It does not invalidate the basic argument either even if I did advocate forced contraception, sterilistion or abortion.

Overpopulation to me suggest a crappier world. More competition for just about everything. i.e. jobs.

Consumption of resources. i.e. more ppl=more automobiles=more gas=higher oil prices.

suffice to say . . . life's gonna git harder fer just about everyone. More so for ppl with disabilities.

All quite depressing really . . . now where's my bottle of whiskey . . .


And a bottle of rum. Makes me wish I twere a pirate without the worries of cars, jobs, or the price of anything when it's all there waiting to be conquered. Image

...Oh wait we've already done that... :oops:
