World population

[Tyrannical]

A saner solution would be to have the over-populating societies have fewer children, of course.

And how you propose to do that Voluntary birth control has not worked very well so far.

That doesn't mean we should give up trying to educate people about it, does it? The efforts to control world population will have to get stronger or Darwin and Malthus will step in and do it for us.

In the civilized Western countries, under population is our problem. Since multiculturalism has been mostly a failure, importing foreigners from more populace nations to offset this is losing popularity. So while much of the rest of the world is over populated, we are left in a situation where we have to encourage women to have more children.

Tyrannical has been channeling Thomas Malthus for years. An appeal to sanity won't stop that now.

It's probably going to be the winner in any case. Short, brutal decimation of the population followed by the survivors picking up the pieces. The Earth Abides or, The Stand, for example.

Channeling Francis Galton used to get me into trouble at Ratskep.

Posting the time and date can get you in trouble at Ratskep.

Well, it is a bit of a race against time. Ethiopia for example has over twice the population now then when the great televised famine of the 80's took place.
There isn't a hard population limit, over population doesn't become truly apparent until their are a few bad crop years.

A new study titled 'Africa's Demographic Multiplication', commissioned by the Washington-based Globalist Research Center, points out that Africa's population has more than tripled during the second half of the 20th century, growing from 230 million to 811 million.

Nigeria, Africa's most populous country at 158 million, is expected to grow to 730 million by century's end, making it larger than Europe's projected population of 675 million.
ut 10 other countries in the African continent are expected to join that club before the close of the century: the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Niger, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.

Together, he says, the population of these 11 African nations is expected to reach 2.4 billion by 2100, representing about a quarter of the world's population at that time

There is no way Africa can feed 2.4 billion people by 2100, and the shortfalls will be too much for imports to cover if there are a few bad crop years.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

They won't feed that many by 2100. Therein lies the problem. Maybe we'll see big walls along the Suez by then.

A small container will solve the issue of over-population. You just need someone sane enough to open it.

Well this thread has taken a shift to the right since the last time I looked at it. From "World Population" we have now gong to "over-population" with nobody batting an eyelid. And it's a white/black thing, according to Tyrannical. We whites are underpopulated, and there are too many blacks.

I take it you've never read any of Tyrannical's other posts?

Seems you're taking the black and white stance there, Exi5 ... It's a location/culture thing, actually.

You mean a west/non-west thing? Yes, that is a good disguise for what I am talking about.

Wrong. I've read rather too many of Tyrannical's other posts actually, and rather too many of yours as well.

That's remarkable. From you posts I got the impression that you didn't know how to read. Is this a new thing?
