[Mac'nCheese]

Today we hit the 7 billion people mark. Too much, not enough, or just right? Discuss.

Was this not already achieved 2 days ago?

i wonder how long until there is not enough room for all of us?

Population control will be in our near future.. This planet is getting closer and closer to having no resources left.

If only we could go back in time and start over..

Actually some people believe that we will soon reverse this trend. The rate of population growth is slowing and may soon level out and reverse. Then, we'll have too many older people and not enough young people to take care of them.

Assuming that you are correct - I'm looking for volunteer young people to sign up now to take care of me when the drooling and incontinence gets bad.

Volunteers...??

I actually did quite a bit of research on this a year or two ago for a class I was taking. At that time, the U.S. was the only developed country with a fertility rate over 2 (largely due to Hispanic immigrants having a larger number of children).

With the continued growth of women's rights and sex education in developing nations, many experts expect the population to level off around 2050. Of course, we could easily add another billion to the world by then.

We could really use some of those death panels the right fabricated.

With genetic engineering taking off and research in diseases. I wouldn't be surprised if, well before we reach this point, someone accidentally or purposefully unleashes a disease to wipe out a vast majority of the worlds population. Third world countries being the most heavily hit given the lack of medicine and access to good hygiene.

Don't worry, folks. Only poor people with no real means to take care of their families have more than 2 kids nowadays.

 

[Yumunum]

Isn't this why we have condoms?

 

[BornAgainMac]

That is a lot of mating.

Pay me $50 an hour and I will do anything.

These is talk that this number is already out by some 15 million. A guesstimate, at best.

How bad is it now??

 

[RawBert]

Shoot the babies!

*chuckles*
Sorry. No kids for me, though. ...I wonder who will take care of me at an old age. Perhaps my young hooker girlfriends.

 

[Old Muley]

So when someone says you're "one in a million", it means there are seven thousand people out there just like you.

How bad is it now?? :eek:

A dribble here...a dribble there...nothing much.

But I'm sure the tim will come...

It's today plus or minus 12 months. So really any time between May this year, and May last year.

But definitely headed for too many... Population growth really, really concerns me.

ANYTHING!!

For only $50!?

I'll hang on to this post for future reference.

 

[iParis]

Vegeta! What does the Internet say about the Earth's population?!

It.. it's over 7 billion!!!!!!

What's!? 7 billion?!

 

[macguy360]

500 million people appears to be just about right. So were a little heavy right now. (according to georgia guidestones)

Would you like to stay near the sea? XD And maybe pay me 30 bucks per hour? XD

Great God!!!

It's a bidding war to see who changes my diaper!

Realized that when Apples market cap was 390B a few weeks ago with the help of their investors, they had enough money to give everyone on the planet $55 a piece.

lol.. But times are hard. You gotta take any opportunity while you can. I learn that from Apple and Steve Jobs.
