P.S We should at least urge the governments of all countries to pass birth control bill and limit 1 child per couple. Maybe that will make a huge difference.
(though that would have little impact as it would be immoral to kill their children) or better by starting with the most immoral people and then working up from there until the numbers have been brought back under control. Such a cull would be more moral than just standing back and leaving it to nature.
While I myself do not believe in morals and would kill an ant or a human without a second thought, if necessary.
but my feeling is that the govt won't need to set up a genocide programme, social pressure eg abuse in the streets, might occur. It is interesting to note that a number of obese people have reported abuse because of their weight and this could lead to suicides.
By the way, have you heard of Mars-One? I was on NewEnglandPhysics forum today, and I saw this topic that Pete posted which mentioned Mars-One. I did not know about it, hence, I had a quick peek and what I feel is that they just successfully scammed thousands of people and made 800,000 USD. I might be wrong here but hear me out. They want to initiate by sending 100 humans to mars. And... According to them own selves, sending 4 humans will cost them 6 billion USD. Let's just have some pity on them and say that the mission is to send 4 humans to mars and cut out the rest 96. They still won't be able to do so. The maximum donation they could have expected was, I'm being generous here, 2 billion USD. Now let's just assume that they did get 2 billion USD. But, who will give them the rest 4? I will be darned to hear any nation or company say that, they will sponsor them. Let's be practical here... The mission is not productive. Nations, on Earth have a lot of things to care of before they reach the point where they would have plenty spare for such things. Companies too have better projects to invest on, where they can expect a very good amount of return rather than this. So, why exactly did people donate to this project? I don't know. Why was this project ever thought of? Well, maybe they truly did want to send people to mars and did not really did a better research and as they came back to reality and figured out that this isn't something feasible (Funding wise), it turned into a scam. Or... it was a scam from first day onwards. Anyways, I really do commend the wits of the creator of such scam... Hmph... Project, PROJECT!
I might suggest that you go into hiding for a while. People don't take too kindly to genocide.A certain Mr Hitler paid the price for it, as did Pol Pot and Saddam Hussein, to mention but a few.
But who knows? Perhaps we'll have started to colonize Mars by then. After all we're already going to be sending people to live there for the rest of their lives in just a few years. In any case it's not my problem. I'll be long dead before that comes. Politicians aren't doing their jobs so the world will pay the price for not penalizing them for it. But as I said, not my problem.
The upside is that nobody needs to do anything to make life better for everybody - just make fewer babies.
I seem to remember a report saying that educating girls in developing countries reduced the birthrate as they had babies later and fewer per couple.
Probably, but unsustainable population growth is already affecting the UK, where education and contraception are apparently available to anyone who wants either, but the rate of teenage pregnancy is a serious concern to governments and do-gooders. The trick is to abolish all child benefits and to pay women a comparable sum if they are not pregnant. Say £500 every 6 months from the age of 10 to 60. You get one "bye" after which you lose the benefit permanently if you are pregnant, though it is restored if your child dies before the age of 16. There is a net saving to the exchequer, plus additional tax income from working women not taking maternity leave.
