Other informative videos on this topic include "Overpopulation is NOT a myth" and "how many people can live on planet earth?" Please also be aware of various religious extremists and anti-contraception groups such as PRI who incorrectly claim overpopulation is a myth. A video debunking the PRI can be found here "Population research institute-misleading videos to further their religious agenda". Support the UNFPA in their vital work.

@luke666808g Global birth control laws are the answer imho. People should be more educated on this global issue.

i just wish there was a world law that obligates people that make more than 5 million dollars to donate money to organizations that will help all people in poverty...

@TenderTrap86 I HAVE asked myself that question, whether I can justify adding another child to this overpopulated world.

@luke666808g If you call having children "breeding", you don't deserve to have a dozen kids. In fact, maybe, you should ask yourself if you should even have one?
luke666808g (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
@TenderTrap86 I'm not planing on having over a dozen kids and thrusting them into a life of despair and poverty though, breeding in such an environment is basically child abuse.

@luke666808g No, sterilization isn't a bad idea at all! You first! Then everybody else for your cause. Why would others want people who think like you reproducing, anyway. if that's the way you feel about it? You first! Go for it! Do it for the children, for crying out loud! After all, this is serious business.

Maybe they should sterilize their criminals and in some cases "enslave" the violent criminals.
