you can't sustain a population if not enough children are born to maintain and continue the population. doesn't work for animals, won't work for people.

most eco-worship (and it is religious belief, quite explicitly) boils down to consumerism glossed up as 'sustainability', with a side bonus of classism and racism to berate people with (the whole overpopulation and 'five kids is too damn many' schtick') who won't share in the dream of consuming their way to a 'sustainable' earth.

the world of 1840 was way more environmentally unfriendly than the world of 2008, and yet mysteriously the planet's still around, and there's more humans than ever.

hiroshima and nagasaki were freaking NUCLEAR BOMBED, and yet people live there and grow perfectly healthy food, and have healthy kids. chernobyl is recovering, for that matter.

the earth can certainly handle its business regardless of how much we spend pretending consumerism can ever be good for anything other than corporations. and really, so can we. but it's more complex a situation than is generally acceded to.

I think we are more likely to be hit by a meteorite or the plates in America causing a devastating earthquake that knocks half the population off. To be absolutely Honest, history shows that mother nature is really good at taking care of the population. I would be more inclined to question how much energy and resources we put into trying to save every baby, child and adult through the advancement of our technology. We have interfered with nature's natural selection and I think this has a bigger impact on overpopulation that does the individual freedom of choice to have large families.

Tube tying is no one's business but the individual making the choice8)

overpopulation is a racist, classist, sexist myth. straight out.

that's really funny... since i'm very far from ANY of those things. it's interesting how because i would rather adopt a child that already exists (than have more than 1 of my own) and that child would most likely be non-white (statistically speaking) that i'm probably a racist because i'm against over population.

Good point

No one is saying its bad to want to adopt. Thats a wonderful selfless thing. What people are saying is - dont put others down for not making the same decision and wanting to have biological children. Thats all.

I didnt really understand that part of Mias post either...
