    Is having children selfish? There are 8 billion people in the world, do we really need to keep making so many new ones? The world doesn't need more baristas and artists and office workers.

    • lol. angry man angry, manufactured reality, also. one of the most basic control mech. is how money is created. i'm sure you dont need much explanation for thatyurimon
    • unless you want to play your act dumb card. also if you havent been around during the looting of the country taking place.yurimon
    • Have you heard Bernie speak? he sounds like a conspiracy theorist. he's a david icke minus the shape shift conversation. I'm waiting for Bernie to say the wordyurimon

    • where do all your ideas come from?yurimon
    • Yuri, you say over-population isn't an issue. Where do you draw the line? What if there were 60 billion people on Earth? Would that not cause problems?iCanHazQBN
    • You make it sounds like population can never be a problem. But it grows exponentially, so ultra high figures are possible, unless we address it now.iCanHazQBN
    • From the dawn of humanity to the year 1900 we reached 1.9B people. And in just 115 years, we went from 1.9B people to 7B people.iCanHazQBN
    • yeah we don't need more artists and barristas, we need more religious fundamentalists and stupid people which are the only ones reproducing_niko
    • Exponential growth is why it's dangerous. And it's not about physical space for humans, it's about being able to use the Earth's resources (food growth, water)iCanHazQBN
    • wisely to avoid a complete breakdown of the human race.iCanHazQBN
    • And not to mention all of the pollution billions of more people can create. Look at all the waste that's being created with just us. Imagine 3x the worlds pop.iCanHazQBN
    • Ask this to Africansi_was
    • Most of the waste comes from industrial output and large scale operations. they could easily dev methods. plus research is 100 years ahead with what the publicyurimon
    • knows, so its unclear what solutions are available that are with held. its more about control and eventually prob something will happen and the earth willyurimon
    • repopulate with people again. seems to be the cycle no one has gotten out of.yurimon

    • Pango, just started watching this on Yootoob just now. Shit is nuttygilgamush
    • Nice propagandr, I wonder how many darwin award candidates this view works on.yurimon
    • I guess its a win win. people who love this show watch. and the darwin award winars decide not to have children. cool.yurimon
    • Do you ever shut the fuck up?Continuity
    • Yurimon has a point. The problem isn't really over population. The problem is the system. The waste. The pollution. The fact that we pack in to cities and...set
    • Without giving back. I imagine if everyone had a garden, only ate local produce, did away with plastics and spread out a bit, we could double the populationset
    • The exponential growth is obviously a problem thoughset
    • its not that there wasnt any alternative solution or inventions to limit or get off fossil fuels. the irony is that alternative solution are suppresse for sakeyurimon
    • of power and money. any social problem is an opportunity to assert authority for solution only if it can maintain power of authority. Free people are notyurimon
    • profitable to a system. putting the blame on the people is a distraction and is good propaganda its the equivalent to the sinner complex in Christianity.yurimon
    • n you guys are naythists?yurimon
