There's not an overpopulation problem, there's a lack of resource distribution problem.

I tend to think there's a bit of both.
As a species, we don't actually benefit from being so numerous, and it creates logistical and environmental problems (from a selfish standpoint - I'm talking about MY environment, not jellyfish and pandas) that are difficult to resolve.
I don't have any good suggestions for resolving it, though. I suppose ideally, a good education and ample opportunity would be available for everyone, as those things seem to naturally stem overpopulation, but hahahahaha.

The general population's susceptibility to diseases UP because shitty genes are passed in higher numbers. Crowded places, sanitation, sewage... diseases spread faster
I didn't think about all the disease that humans carry.....okay everyone has to be cooked well done.

I don't think it has to do with poor genes, but rather the latter reasons you mentioned.
Actually, I think that living in unsanitary conditions all your life would increase your tolerance of certain diseases, but that doesn't really have much to do with genetics, but immune response.
"as a species", we don't have much of a problem at all.
"as a species", we are hugely successfull.
whatever disasters will come upon us through overpopulation, we'll be back up and running within a few hundreds of years. which is not so much as a blip on the timescale that our species lives on. who knows we might even come out having learned something (fat chance)
unless we do something really stupid and become a lot more effective at destroying our living environment.
the real question is, which humans taste best?

:kingmeh:
There are lots of geographers and such that say that humanity will top out at somewhere between 7.5 billion and 11 billion and then start our decline as a species. Just like any other animal out there, our expiration date is coming up. I think that rather than some grand apocalypse, humanity will slip quietly away, and in a few thousand years the Earth will hardly bear enough evidence of our existence for even the longest lived rocks to remember us. not that rocks have memories. but if they did...

this was my point, but I guess you missed it.
that isnt really caused by overpopulation, now is it?
the chances of all out thermonuclear heck were just as large (if not larger) a couple of decades ago when the world population was less than half its current size.
my point was,
overpopulation (which is the topic of this thread) is not going to do us in as a species, but doing something really stupid (which isnt) might.

I don't think mortality rates in third world countries would bear this out. also, they produce more children to make up for the ones who die, so when conditions do start to improve there's a sudden population explosion as the habit of producing babies doesn't go away at the same rate as the babies grow up to produce babies of their own. add to that the changing face of the world economy and you have more people living on the edge of existance than ever, because no one grows their own food anymore, making famine a global risk rather than a local one as it tended to be in times past. so, in a few years we might be eating each other anyway.

SPACE TRAVEL! Are y'all dense?
We build two big ol' space boats.
One of them we fill with the best plant foods, tastiest livestock, and the children of senators and kings.
The other we fill with sand, sickly livestock, and the socially undesirable.
One of them we aim at a distance earth-like planet.
The other we "aim" at a distance "earth-like" "planet."

I said that it doesn't benefit us as a species. That is, being as numerous as we are brings no benefits to our survival, and there are compromises to our quality of life. It doesn't compromise our survival, there's just no fucking reason and it does nobody any good.

Far more likely that thousands of geniuses will be born and die without ever realizing their potential, which is what's mostly happening.
But seriously, how does our species benefit from the sheer numbers? It's pointless, and takes up space that I could otherwise be enjoying.

Yeah, I commented on that, and he persisted. I imagine he's under the impression that he came off as something marginally cooler than Vanilla Ice.
You seem to have missed the part where i said that was a joke.
Yeah, I suppose I did. Probably after the second or third time you insisted on saying it.
What did you do today?
Sat around and took it easy, per doctor's orders. What the fuck is it to you?
Oh, yeah, you're the only person that ever served, so you have to let us all know what a fucking hero you are.
Get over yourself.
No No, It's nothing like that. Just wanted to know. You probably did more important things in your day anyways. I bet you were a part of some major shenanigans back then when there were less rules.
Is your leg or back fucked up?

I have no moral problem with "the mission."

That's some pretty serious ownage, right there.
there's no ownage like self-ownage.

Indeed, I dont have any moral problem with the mission but i disagree with torture.

Perhaps you should clarify what you consider "the mission" to actually be.

Perhaps you should clarify what you consider "the mission" to actually be.
It is the difference between whatever is told to the masses and what is perceived to be happening on the ground. Somewhere in the middle exists what is actually happening. It doesnt bother me. People's big issue with torture is that it is incongruent with the rhetoric of the state, "values" we are supposed to uphold etc. Torture must not be used during the course of warfare of this nature. NO military application. NOT to be endorsed by the state. There may be other reasons to torture people, but the military or government has no place doing it. I do not hold the government liable for the personal conduct of anyone, including its agents. Professional conduct is a different matter.
You consider that "clarification"?
WHAT IS "THE MISSION"?
Quote from: LMNO on April 28, 2009, 06:11:55 PM

It is BOTH what is preached AND what is actually happening at the same time. I have issue with neither. Torture is not the mission. Torture will not help to accomplish the mission. Despite it actually happening, that is the conduct of those individuals. The problem is that the majority of the public consider it to be torture. So it should end. I disagree with torture in military or government application simply because it is incongruent with what is being said. and the "mission" is based on what is being said SHOULD happen.

That sounds to me like you agree with the conflation of Iraq with 9/11,
and that all Muslims are suspects,
and that enemy fighters should not be treated in a manner consistent with the Geneva Convention,
and that innocent people should be killed in their homes.
Real nice.

I dont agree with that, any of that. It is not consistent with what the war is "about", yet it happens. Mostly because individuals allow it/do it. The methods to win militarily simply can not be used while maintaining moral "superiority" and instilling the values the government intends to. The war is not the proper way to handle this problem
at all.
Um.
What was preached was the conflation of Iraq with 9/11.
What was practiced was that all Muslims were treated as suspects.
What was preached was that enemy fighters should not be treated in a manner consistent with the Geneva Convention.
What was practiced was that innocent people were killed in their homes.
Would you like a new shovel? That one looks pretty beat up.

You can be as angry about that as you want. Each of your statements are true. You are absolutely right about each point. Basically it does not upset me, despite my feelings about it. Homosexual couples get married. People are angry, people are relieved. That is a battle won and lost at the same time. This war, while killing people dangerous to people you and i may care about, does not remove the source of them. We can get wrapped up in how right or wrong it is, but it doesnt matter in the slightest. It is not even the correct way to handle the problem. The real problem. The problem that the war was meant to address. I didnt join up because i supported the war or disagreed with it. Whether i agree or disagree with how it is conducted doesnt matter, because that DOES NOT MATTER.

The same things you do currently. Enjoy your life and have your beliefs. One day the military will be used appropriately, and i will do my function and it may be in a way that you approve. Or not. Oh well.

As a species, we don't actually benefit from being so numerous, and it creates logistical and environmental problems (from a selfish standpoint - I'm talking about MY environment, not jellyfish and pandas) that are difficult to resolve.
Natural selection occurs at the individual level, and it doesn't give a damn about your quality of life. If having so many children that they ruin the lives of themselves, their children, and everybody around them causes people's genes to be better represented in the gene pool, then that trait and tendency will persist and be reinforced. If a person instead decides that they will not contribute to overpopulation and chooses not to reproduce, then that too will reinforce the tendency for humans to overreproduce, because the genes of those who predisposed not to overreproduce are thusly removed from the gene pool :fnord:...

are you implying that there's a genetic link between the drive to reproduce and lack of education? or that stupid people have a stronger drive to reproduce? assuming that a predisposition to "overreproduce" is in fact genetic, that is.
