Overpopulation is one of the greatest of modern myths.
It has become the bogeyman used to scare us into accepting desperate measures to curb this threat to our way of life A vivid picture is painted of our being submerged in the struggle for survival. We will drown in a sea of people, gasping for the room to breathe, as the last square foot of inhabitable land sinks beneath the overwhelming tide of surging humanity.

Ahh to be young and dumb and know everything....Utopia is not possible. Socialism does not work. Why would we try to provide everyone with health care? Altruistic? Maybe. Possible? Past performance does not dictate future performance. However, I dont want to worry about my life light running out when the government says! Fact or fiction... Obama will be this generation's turning point, albatross if you will. The belief in change will prove disaterous and cripple their chance at living any type of dream....and god forbid it be the American Dream... for now anyway....Wake up America and run your own lives!!! P.S. And for those quick to point to racism....I'm Japanese-American....I think we have reasons to hate...but choose not to!

Based on a population of 7.5 billion:

Using the square milage for Texas: 1 square mile = 5280 x 5280 square feet = 27,878,400 square feet. So 268,581 square miles = 7,487,608,550,400. For simplicity say 7.5 x 10^12. That divided by 7 x 10^9 is indeed over 1000 square feet per person. So if we made one giant one-story compound over Texas, land, water, and all, we would each get a 1,000 square foot unit.

You could be on to something, AssHat. Probably a scam run by a group of disgruntled folks who have continually struck out with the opposite sex. :viol:
 
Or maybe the overpopulation is a concern to some because of the skin tones of the fastest growing populations?
 
I was reading recently in SF that in some real environmentally conscious circles some guys, in their 20's, are getting their tubes tied so as to be more attractive to a potential mate by showing how concious they are about the environment, world etc. Guys do a lot of things to get laid so I can't knock it but damn...

I guess the next internet scam will be bogus medical certificates testifying to having had the operation. The old pick-up line, "Do you want to see my sketches?" will be replaced with, "Do you want to see my Snip-Snip Certificate?"

Which does raise the old question for those who state their heritage as American of African descent.
How were things in Libya? (Oh, and before anyone get's really corny, allow me: Many Libyans are really 'intents' guys!! Sorry)

LOL Who'd be attracted to a mate that can't produce children?

Please, please, liberal woman: TIE YOUR FUCKING TUBES. LOL

What an awesome method of reducing the liberal population.

I think this encapulates the stupidity and intent of the green movement.
