Are most of the worlds problems from over population?

Question

I do believe that a very big problem with the world today is overpopulation.China is one of the few countries to try to limit population growth. What we need in this world are more intelligent people that can see down the road.There are several books out on the subject.One was called"The Population Bomb",but I cannot remember who wrote it. Another book was written about shortages of food,water,fuel,etc,but I cant remember the name of it. I would appreciate your input on this [e-mail]

Answer 1

Are you saying that China has got it right? So that's how it is. There are too many people around? OK, let's just make kids illegal. How are we gonna get rid of kids? Oh that's easy, we'll kill 'em all!

Why is it the babies who have to die? If genocide is the solution to population problems then why don't you start by killing yourself? Having babies is not unintelligent or shortsighted.

Killing them, however, is downright evil.

Like the first answerer, I find this very disturbing.

Answer 2

I think most of the worlds problems are down to different religions and extremists

Answer 3

My input is that China is THE MOST overpopulated country in the world. Do you think it is "intelligent" that they tell people how many children they are aloud to have. I think you should do some research.  I believe that most of the worlds problems can be attributed to stupid, ignorant people who think they can fix things that they can not. Believing that is it ok to refuse people the essentials they need to survive is murder. This question is very disturbing to me.

Answer 4

i COMPLETELY agree with you. we should have human culling like we have with animals because human overpopulation and human selfishness has caused a drastic decline in today's world in pretty much abt everything good including food, gas, oxygen, forests, etc. and an increase in everything bad such as carbon dioxide, etc. I will definitely check out "The Population Bomb" book that you recommended.

Not only should countries with too many people such as India and China cut down their populations, but advanced countries such as USA, england, etc. should also limit the number of kids to two because it's always the advanced countries who are using the resources more. Countries like India and China do have many people, but look at the amt of people who have a TV or even electricity and then youll see that it's less than half the population. Also, not to be racist, but MANY islamic countries have women with approx, atleast 6 kids per woman. I think it's outrageous and unnecessary because not only does it cause problems since many of the 'marriages' are incestuous, but it also causes sexism between females and males and more usage of other products.

Answer 5

Nope....It's "Big Oil"  plain and simple. Fuel to get products where they need to be effects Everyone.

Answer 6

Overpopulation is a huge problem, and getting worse all the time.  Sadly, none of our political leaders have had the courage to speak out about it.  Something must be done, or nature will have her way with us.

Answer 7

note that all the countries where people are starving, are or were over-populated....

all the countries ravaged by disease, are over populated...

when there is a natural disaster, and thousands die, it always an over populated area....
