Please tell me this is a joke. China is in shambles, it's workforce is dwindling and will be far too small to support the economy in the next thrity years. tens of thousands of babies are killed each year because of the 1 child rule. The worlds population is not too large, nor will it be for thousands if not hundreds of thousands of years. There are plenty of renuable resources on the earth, and to be this extreme is just plain silly, and lastly, GTF out of my life! Not you, or anybody else has a right to infringe upon my basic human rights, no matter how wrong you think they are. Just because China does it, does not make it right.


@ bolded.

Please tell me your being sarcastic.

Not at all, the facts don't lie buddy. There is still plenty of space on the the earth for humans, and as I said before, there are plenty of renewable resources here as well.

While I believe that if mass death happens we should follow the George Stones, controlling people's decisions to have kids is wrong. I think we really need to aim towards creation of underwater, and space colonization.


lmao.


Although it seems insane, I believe that that's a genuine solution. It's not too far fetched to think living underwater is possible, neither is space colonization. It will cost a lot of money though, a lot and I doubt some countries will be willing to spend that much.

Two world wars, extreme religious political ideologies(Communism, Fascism and Nazis) plagued the 20th century and divided the world into two halves East and West for most of the 20th century. Huge technological advancement during 20th century especially after World War 2.  

21st century Global terrorism and endless war on everything. Immigration is a major worldwide problem. Global warming, climate change and  depletion of resources. Rise of totalitarian Chinese regime. Continued technological advancement. 

Something big will happen in the 21st century. Just you all wait and see.  


Communism is a religious political ideology? Now I've heard everything

Communism, Fascism and National Socialism were promoted and had God like worship of the leaders of the fathers of the political ideologies. Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Mussolini, and other extreme ideologue dictators regimes had religious fanatical followers. Heretics/political opponents were eliminated. Dictatorships use fear, propaganda, police state, military force and censorship to maintain power and control over the people. 

To question or disobey a totalitarian regime would be imprisonment in a slave labour camp or execution without a trial.

Many more humans can be supported by Earth, yes. But not with Western lifestyles and not with the non-renewable resource usage rate.

We could probably do 100 billion people if we killed all the nonessential wildlife and plants, and lived in spacestation like environments with near total recycling.

Realistically, as long as we continue seeing the kinds of technological advancements that increase our ability to produce higher density cities, we continue to see the increase in efficiency we have for the past several centuries, and we can actually take advantage of the abundant energy resources available I see little reason to believe that the earth could not support 10 times its current population with each individual having a standard of living higher than most people in the western world have today.

It may not be desireable to live in a city with 4 times the population density of New York, but that doesn't mean that the earth couldn't support us.

China's one child policy will also allow them to have thousands of men without the ability to find a wife (in country) in a few years. Awesome, let's do this world wide! /sarcasm.

Lucky when you don't have one child policy it doesn't occur;.

India:

0-14 years: 29.7% (male 187,450,635/female 165,415,758)

That's just a wet dream. The truth is that if we don't take care of the underlying problems of the world as it is today (poverty, hunger and lack of sustainable technologies/application of these), our society would collapse.

When you multiply they population by 10, you have to multiply the amount of cars in the world by 10, unless we work seriously on public transport. Multiply the amount of food produced by 10 and the water available by 10.

In the FUTURE all of this will be possible but we need SHORT TERM solutions if we want to see that future.
