Well, at the rate people are being born everywhere in the world, we can't make room for another earth. Overpopulation is near.

Scientists say in the year 3000, Earth will be a packed ball of human flesh speeding outward at the speed of light.

Your thoughts? Ways to stop Overpopulation? (Don't say cannabalism. :P) Post them here and discuss them with AG.

Yes,

In some countries there is overpopulation,
But we can't stop , can't forbid people to make children ,
They will do anyway!

It can be in a few years , we discover a new planet where human beings can live... maybe then many people can live there and overpopulation is spread over 2 planets ?

Overpopulation is nothing to worry about. With wars, murders, and other things that kill people at high rates there really cant be overpopulation.

But in some countries like Africa there are villages that have too many people and that is why they are starving. They don't get it that if you don't have much food where you live, you shouldn't have kids but yet some of these people do ahead and have 3, 4, or 5 kids! There is a reason that there is overpopulation in small villages but in the world, there isn't any sort of overpopulation problem.

I believe overpopulation is what is going to destroy the human race. One of the reasons that mammals survived as a race during the age of the dinosaurs, even though they were small and weak, was the fact that they could reproduce often, and they did. I believe a law that imposes a child limit will soon become necessary, as the world cannot produce enough food to feed everyone.

Overpopulation is also making the human race less intelligent. Apparently, low IQ families (wich is also MOST families) are having an average of 4.6 children. While high IQ families are having an average of 1.5 children. This is causing the human race's average intelligence to decrease.

And when this becomes a serious crisis in the future, things like voluntary human extinction may be considered by world leaders. Let's face it, to some people, some of those countries in Africa are problems that could be solved sooooo easily.

First off - I now initiate module: GLORIOUS RETURN OF THE SUCCESSFUL TROLL.

Now, onto the meat of my post.
The obvious solution to this problem is mass genocide. The VHEMT is full of egotistical jerks who believe that their way is the only way, and that anyone who has children is a horrible person. I'm sure not all of them are like that, but that's what I got from their reading material.

Mass genocide would solve the problem AND bring about a new world order - two good things IF EXECUTED BY THE RIGHT PEOPLE. At this point, many of the world's civilizations would return to ancient forms of government - especially the Spartan society (and no, I'm not talking about 300). It makes logical sense, but it would require a vast reduction in population.

@Strop

Voluntary human extinction sounds good XD

Well there are several reasons why this is happening. People are living much longer than the loden days and have higher life expectancy's

We're not talking about WHY it's happening. We're talking about solutions.

Mass genocide is the only one that would actually reverse the process. VHEMT won't work because people won't stop having sex.

I beleive that overpopulation is nothing to worry about.

Wars and other things will keep the population at a slow increase.

Plus if you live in a well suited place that has food, then you shouldn't have much to wory about.

over population won't be a problem I don't think, cause first of all people have to eat to be alive and if there isn't enough room for plants and animals to live then there will be a huge famine were tons of people will die and stabilize the amount of people on the earth yet again.

Plus I'm not to worried about my great great great great great great great....... grand children.

But you'll be worried after that. I don't think we'll be affected by this in our lifetime, but we should think about our descendants.
