Do you think we should get rid of some people??

I do agree we should do more now than buying a few green products. I also think some people are making it seem worse than it is. I saw a documentary the other day that was quite interesting and pretty convincing but once I looked up actual statistics and population only grows 1.17% so its not as bad as they descrided at all. Seems like we must be doing a pretty good job of the population control already.

Well it will be even if every family only have 2 kids. If that so, then we'll get straight bar on pyramid of life. But the thing is that many family have more than 2 kids. Even if government (like in Japan and China) have forbid to have more than a child, it still can't be controlled. And if you see compare the number between one-child parents versus at-least-two-childs parents, you will see very distinctive different between those two. I don't really agree if we should get rid of some people. We can only give education for people regarding these things. Beside, I don't think I could handle many kids as everything are so expensive nowadays *sigh* Regards.

One child policy is in China. Can't call it policy. Its more of a dictatorial rule. Japan actually feels that its under-populated and want couples to have children.

Yes we should get rid of people who intend to harm us. We should get rid of all the hypocrites. We should have only those people who shows gratitude towards you and is always for you.

If we got rid off all the hypocrites, who would run our governments. :) Jokes aside, I think just being a hypocrite isn't enough to get rid of a person! I don't think we should get rid of anyone actually, not even the harshest criminal.

Just so you konw, I by 'getting rid of', I only mean to get them out of power, so we can replace them with upstanding citizens that will actually do what is right for all of us, instead of lining their pockets with bribes and payoffs to ruin our country and send us into meaningless wars.

I totally think more people should adopt. So many kids out there with no one to care for them. I would adopt if I could but the restrictions are too much and it is VERY expensive. You have to have alot of money and it helps if you are married and all sorts of other things that I dont have. They dont make sure you are married before they let you have kids and you certainly dont have to be rich so I think this is a little unfair, especially for the poor little orphan childern.

Thats what I said the poulation is only growing at a rate of 1.17% per year and the US population only .94% per year so I dont think we will have problem for such a long time if this is the case.

you said "its not physically possible to control how many children a person may have" It most certainly is possible! You just sterilize all men at birth. I dont think its the right thing to do at all but it is most certainly possible.

I don't think there's anything wrong in TRYING to control the human population. As long as its done in humane ways (ie, something like tax breaks for people with reasonably sized families), it's fine. Based on the rest of what you say above, I hope you mean that it should NOT be okay for people to kill each other for whatever reason.

I dont have kids but I grew up in a family with 6 kids so I know what you mean. Even if you dont have time to give everyone attention you make time, cause thats what moms do right? its a juggeling act and my mom was great at it. I think it teaches kids valuble lessons to have siblings, not just sharing but how to be considerate and how to sacrifice for others. My boyfriend was an only child to a rich family and he is so selfish I always tell him his parents should have had more kids and then he would understand alot of things that now he cant. I just know that every family cant have 6 kids or else the earth will become quickly overpopulated but we are doing ok if the average is 2.5 kids per household it would just be much better if the number was 2 kids per house because that would mean that the population is staying right where it is. The world needs people like me who will never have any children so that others can have 4. I constantly get asked when we are going to start having children and people are so shocked when I say that I dont want kids, I mean I acctually get dirty looks it is kind of silly, we cant all have kids or there would be no favorite aunt to babysit ;-)
