I've always thought that the world was Not meant for human "domination." It seems we are taking over the world, and building where we like, despite the plants and animals that were already there. Do you ever feel guilty, and feel like people should live more naturally [like w/o electricity and gas powered things]?

yeah.. the world is overpopulated by considering the entire population of the current world comparing that with the previous year...but,actually the population is getting increased in some segments(countries)more than the other..that makes the population of world to feign as huge...

Well yes.The world is way too populated.I think you're right that people should live more naturally.It makes me sad that the earth is losing is beauty and that it is not normal anymore like the ozone layer depleting and the polar caps melting.People should be alarmed.Well,a certain Fil-Am told me how uncivilized we Filipinos are but according to records,USA is the #1 country contributing to global warming and next is China.It's funny that I thought of an idea about people living underwater just like Atlantis.

Well, I did my part for cutting down on population, I had no children. I refuse to live without electricity & other power, I'm too old to start living like that now. I probably wouldn't last long if something were to happen to the power grid.

In my opinion... the world is not overpopulated... the unequal distribution of people on Earth makes it seem like it is... countries like India and China have ove a billion residents but a lots of countries in Europe and the country Canada can be considered as underpopulated... aside for that there are places that are still uninhabited by humans... so for me... to say that the whole world is overpopulated isn't exactly correct...

In general yes. It is overpopulatd. But the overpopulation is felt only some pockets like Africa, Asia in particular India, Bangladesh and China. In other countries, the growth of population is restricted.
