BTW, if you’re so concerned about overpopulation, please help solve the problem by following this easy three-step plan:

1. Fill a large bucket with water.

2. Put your head in the bucket three times.

3. pull your head out of the bucket twice.

Problem solved.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, only 3% of the United States is "urban" terrain, and they define urban as any municipality with 2,500 or more people in it.

Then there's the fact that the entire human race could live in Texas. IIRC, the population density would be less than that of Paris.

You make good points, but I drove across part of Stephenson County in Northwest Illnois today and it looked only slightly more densely populated than to pc in post 15, and we’ve got every amenity of civilization you could want...well, except for a decent hobby shop, but that’s a personal matter, really.

The entire human race could fit in Texas...IIRC, the population density would be less than that of Paris...I’ll do the math later and see how it works out.

You are correct.

Does not GOD feed all the little birds?

The real issue here is faith.

Though I agree with you, even the faithless should be able to see what is really simple math. Big world, tiny people, and we operate more cleanly every day.

Well thank you. I'd actually try harder if I was being paid. lol..

Again, Amenities are created through jobs and some degree of economic success, regardless of how punitive government has become.

Point is, lacking a good economy in whatever region you live in, and is void of jobs, that limits everything..People are basically screwed, and better have a pension, or own one of the few established businesses.

And come to think of it, he was wearing an Indiana Jones type hat and some sort of bandana.

Was it a convertable? He'll need to hold onto his hat!

I dont get it why this topic and taking a look at it is something to be zotted for.

Not that I am suggesting any answers that are morally correct because I dont have any such answers. But if the population surge continues something (or several factors) will collapse at some point, and when it does it will probably be pretty bad.
