There is no such thing as overpopulation.
There is, though, overpopulated cities!

Think about it. When you ride an airplane and you look down, do you see the ground full of cities or open areas? The world is not even close to overpopulation. People just like to be where other are and therefore we get overpopulated cities.

To us Christians, the first commandment in the Bible says: "Be fruitful and multiply" (Gen 1:28). God commands us to multiply. He would not have given us a place where He'd think we would not fit.

Hi Enmanuel! Thank you for your insightful comment! I totally agree! I consider it my life's mission to have constant, unprotected sex in order to do my part to coat the planet in bible-thumping, christ-loving, closed-minded, breeding-machines. Really the only thing that stops me is the fear that I may accidentally enjoy the act of intercourse one day and shame myself in the eyes of the lord :(. Fortunately for me, I think my wife detests it enough for the both of us :)!

Anyways, I share your vision of a planet-wide suburbia. Even the oceans! Of course, the oceans won't be there anymore because there will be so many people consuming so much water that we'll have to finally desalinize the oceans and drink them, which is good because right now they are just wasted space! Oh and can you imagine the river of pee-pee and poo-poo that those trillions of people would produce? Talk about being able to carve the grand canyon in a week! PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!

I can't wait till we reproduce our way to this paradise! Just think of standing on your front stoop and seeing green grass, white picked fencing and track housing as far as the eye can see, even farther! I'll be glad to get rid of all that farmland too, I'm not a farmer! LOL! Plus, I don't really like vegetables or fruit, and neither do any of my internet friends!

Oh, and the best part of all, once we pave over the whole planet in a winding network of mega-super-extreme highways and level out those mountain ranges and cut down all the forests in the world to build all of our beautiful houses, we won't have to worry about any wild animals or poisonous bugs or anything getting us, because they'll all be dead!! Of course we'll have to keep a few deer alive for hunting!!! ROFL!!! LOL!! :)

To conclude; THANK YOU Enmanuel for standing up for the views of so many of us Americans. In fact, I feel so worked up that after I ram down six or seven more hot pockets into this bloated, jiggly, sweaty, amorphous meat-sack I call my body, I'm going to plop my 5 or so kids I already have in front of some NASCAR and give them their blond-haired, blue-eyed jesus action figures to play with and then I'm going to have unsatisfying, unenjoyable, sex with my unwilling wife! THANK YOU!!!

You couldn't be more wrong.

As technology stands right now, we can only sustainably support 2-3 billion people. There are about 7 billion today. This overpopulation has been having very serious consequences for the better part of the last century.

Oil and energy aren't even our biggest problems. The water crisis is much worse. A billion people don't have access to safe drinking water. 2.5 billion more don't have access to enough fresh water for basic purposes like sanitation.

Some economists even think overpopulation may be one of the bigger contributors to our current economic crisis. A finite economy can only support so many people, afterall.

Ye stupid git. Overpopulation doesn't mean there is not enough physical space for the population, it means there are not enough resources to sustain the entire population. There may be billions of acres of unoccupied land, but it's not all arable, and if there isn't enough arable land to provide for the food and other resources needed to sustain the population then there is overpopulation. Are you so ignorant that you can't figure that out?

Alright, this isn't difficult.

Look at the earth Mr.Fundie. Is that unlimitedly large? Is there an unlimited amount of space and resources there?

I didn't think so.

So with a finite amount of space and resources, there can only be a finite amount of humans. And currently there is so many of us that we're draining more out of the earth each year then it can renew, depleting our planet bit by bit.

Lifestyle changes could help, but getting our numbers down is still necessary if our species is to survive in the long run. Because if we fuck up the Earth, that's bye bye humans.

And the way to reduce our numbers is for people to have smaller families. Or to opt not to have children at all. (because there always will be people who will.)
