Global Overpopulation - Is Human Culling the Answer?

Having watched the latest episode of Horizon which examined the seriousness of the threat posed by growing overpopulation, I've been thinking. We need to take serious action. 6 billion people is already a too great a number to be sustained on this planet, never mind the 9 billion which is what the population is expected to be in 40 years time. Simply, food and water shortages are going to become increasingly common. Human suffering will reach unimaginable scales.

I propose that humane culling is the only solution. It makes me sick to think of these slut-women in the third world (and indeed here) giving birth to 6, 7 or 8 or more children without giving any thought for the planet. The Vatican is a big problem, people in sub-Saharan Africa and in South America have been brainwashed into believing condoms are not to be used due to the Vaticans lies, but I feel that it is too late. The only answer, I'm afraid, will be to cull. If they ('they' being third world overpopulated countries) don't want to take charge of the situation, then we must.

I don't know if chemical culling is the most humane option (chem trials in the sky maybe?), or whether a bombardment of atomic bombs is the answer. All I know is that something needs to be done.

Of what and why?

Why would I want to cull myself?

You're sickingly obtuse.

Oh, you don't want to? But we need to cull people to save the world! Or is that everyone except white people?

Do you even know what that word means?

I am as sharp as one can be, and if I am being entirely honest, I am the single most important resource this planet has.

Idiot, I think not.

I find your aggressive views towards the people of the West both threatening and offensive.

And what of your views of the "African slut-women"?

You've actualy argued against yourself there, have you heard of julian simon? he wrote a book called "the ultimate resource" which you should probably read if you want to gather all the facts before making any rash decisions.

simon believes that the ultimate resource is humanity yourself (in so in other words, you and i) and that technological advancements will increase the carrying capacity of the earth, as they have throughout the whole of human history. there are many other cornucopian demographers which is why im confused that you seem to belive that everyone is a "doomster".

Your views echo Paul Ehrlich who wrote a book in 1969 called the population bomb, its very short and perhaps worth reading. It is very radical and predicts the earth will basicaly become a hell hole due to overpopulation by the 1980s, he was proven wrong because of the green revolution in india (a technical fix).

Why would I want to cull myself?

Of course you wouldn't, people like you are a virus, a disease. Your stupidity is a hinderance to the success and development of the human race.

I said no such thing. I said 'third world slut-women'.

'African slut-women' would have been a highly offensive thing to say.

I am the human race.

I believe very strongly that population growth needs to be controlled, but I am not going to elaborate any further because I do not want to be seen to be agreeing with the moron who started this thread.

What a incredibly stupid way to start a discussion on such an important issue...
