Stop breeding at above replacement levels.

Wasn't there some other thread that there were too LESS people on the Earth?

Easy. More condoms + Less children = win

If you ban the pill, what about the young teens who wanna have sex?
What will they do?

That thread is in NS.

 

[Iron]

You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins

 

[x.christina]

Abstain.



= more waste products
= more use of non-renewable energy
= fail for the environment
= bad

hey bitch why did you change my username in the quote??

Would anyone support the slaughter of millions, perhaps billions, to sustain global population? Say, kill 3 billion to support two billion?

DISCUSS THIS PHILOSOPHICAL CONUNDRUM WITH REFERENCE TO DIFFERENT CONTEXTS OK?

Hmmm...well...simple utilitarianism states that the best society is the one in which happiness is maximised. It doesn't matter if dead people are happy or not, because they're dead. Therefore, extermination of 3 billion people is fine.\

It's not that there's not enough resources on this planet it's just that there's not enough money.

There's a difference.

Do you have any idea what you're talking about?

If the poorest sectors of people in the world were to immediately become as wealthy as those in developed areas, the crisis would worsen immensely. Not only would the waste generated per capita skyrocket, rates of population growth wouldn't be likely to change much, and in many areas for cultural and religious reasons would increase also.

That aside, the way money is distributed can't change the fact that the capacity of the earth to accommodate the demands of humans is limited.

Our governments can give out stimulus packages to encourage spending and hence end the global economic crisis.
Wait a second..

 

[Iron]

The government shouldntve given the stimulus directly to the plebs, but shouldve thrown it down abandoned mine-shafts etc in remote/economically depressed areas and buried them well.

The resulting rush wouldve caused more vibrant economic activity, many single men and likely enough deaths to check over-population

 

[the.RAVER]

I think its time we started to colonize mars. Or created a more efficient way of getting there. 6 Months is way to long for a population. Unless hundreds if not thousands of people were sent there.

Slaughter? No. Sterilisation? Maybe.
