Do you agree to reduce population growth?

Yes, and if my girlfriend wants more than one child, she'll have to find someone who cares a little less about the biggest problem facing the planet and more about getting what they want regardless of the damage it causes. Not-necessarily good or bad either way depending on the perspective.

Think of it this way - not everybody in the world is having a child, or 2 children. And besides, there are ways that our world can cope with an expanding population. It's in countries where we can't cope that there's a problem. Have all the babies you want, so long as you can nurture them and care for them. Just don't build a giant house and don't support subdivisions. That's where it starts to hurt the Earth.

It doesn't hurt trust me. If it does - there will be a sharp drop in pregnancy, less births, less sex and the whole population will die out.\n\nMost guys do it, I'm not sure about all the guys. I'm just assuming.

pro choice.\n\nwith 6.2 Billion people on the planet, don't you think it's about time we start thinking about population control?\n\nNow if only the rest of the planet would start thinking this way

I think there's a screw loose in all humans that acts as a form of population control. This, of course, is aggression. For all the sickness and famine and natural disasters, we're still spreading across the globe in a hurry and the failsafe to keep our numbers down is war. Nasty, but it seems to be the case. I could suggest alternatives (Olympic-style competitions to attain land or what have you) but I doubt anyone would adhere to them. Perchance the best hope we have is space travel, whereby the human race can spread as it needs to and will have less need to club each other to death for the sake of a patch of dirt.

~None of the above.  I'd reduce human population by something just over 99.9% and save the planet.  But that solution has already been taken and we're well on the way.  People posting such trite questions on this site and wasting the energy (and burning the hydro-carbons to do it) as well as people doing the same to answer (yes, I include me in that) are a waste of oxygen anyway.\nNot to worry.  The planet, the ants and the cockroaches, and probably the sharks, will survive.

Demographic studies show that improved education for women leads to slower population growth.  Also, teaching people about STDs and condoms generally slows population growth.  Legalized abortion inhibits population growth, and when the government knows when the next population burst is going to occur (by knowing how many people are in prime reproductive years) they can plan campaigns to slow population growth.  The government already has many plans to slow population growth (based on these studies) and immigrant numbers.

I do agree with the reply given by " hitesh s ".\ngood luck - jindajind !

Well said.  I agree totally!\n")

In the BIG PICTURE,yes. Population decline will make all dirt cheap, if it happens.

Boy do I agree 100% on this one.  \nGreat Question.

I do.  What are we going to do though?  With a rising population you have to put them somewhere right?  I'm for setting aside large chunks of land as reserves now while we have them to set aside.  Unfortunately, our culture's attitude towards land usage and the environment in general is ignore, ignore, ignore, panic.  I don't think we've reached panic yet, but we will. I'm not for the grid system either.  I think that is one of the worst ideas of all time.  Like in Arizona, for example, the land that can be developed, and the land that can't, are arranged in a checkerboard.  So what happens to animals that roam or migrate?  When all the 'boxes' of land have been developed around the reserved block the animals inside are cut off - the population either has to move to another block or it dwindles and possibly dies off.  Plus they have all kinds of run ins with the surrounding communities.  Some people that live in these communities think that it doesn't adversely affect the environment but it does.  They say "What do you mean?  The deer aren't dying off - I just had one in my backyard the other day."  They don't see how that is a problem.  The checkerboard is not a solution - it just worsens the effect of development.  And Phoenix is a classic example of urban sprawl.  Like a cancerous tumor its neverending grid of streets spreads out in all directions.  We aren't there yet - and we may not see it in our lifetimes - but the earth is so going to kick all of our a**e* eventually.   And, as a cultural, we will stand bug-eyed and bewildered - scratching our collective empty head over how it came to this.

NO! it's just going 2 cause more popultion and we're all going 2 die from global warming!

You are so hot AND you think about this stuff.\nAnything is possible.\nThe whole country changed from the actions of a handful of people.\nHave you seen some of the quarantine plans to deal with Bird Flu?\nThere are theories that the very top of the power pyramid want population control.\nThat really means a reduction in world population by 80%\nNever allow implanted tracking chips.\nOh sure in 50 years (or less) it may be called money.

I think that would just cause more problems because of over population and sparse natural resources.\n\nI guess that's a no.
