Happy 7 billion everyone

[spidersilva]

Happy 7 billion? Hehe, the elite, NWO and Illuminati wants to bring down the population to about 500 million.

Dark matter indeed. Seriously.
from Wikipedia:

Rank - Country - Population count - Date taken - % Of world population
1st - China - 1,339,724,852 - November 1, 2010 - 19.21%
2nd - India - 1,210,193,422 - March 1, 2011 - 17.36%

wait for it

3rd - United States - 312,549,000 - November 4, 2011 - 4.48%

India and China are like.. HUGE. I don't know what to say about these figures, but they are over 4x bigger than the US, and like 1,300,000,000 higher population than Canada. (Surprising for me, maybe not to others.)

Best start learning Chinese and Indian.

I didn't mean Indian, I meant the language which Indians speak, because I cannot remember the name of their language. Hindu? x-x;

Something to think about though. By the time I'm dead (assuming I live to be 70++) there will be roughly EIGHTY BILLION CORPSES in the earth. That's EIGHTY BILLION ZOMBIES we're gonna have to fight when the undead rise. (And I'll be one of them :3)

you forget all the people that have been cremated and such.

;p

Yeah...let's celebrate overpopulation. Yay.

[~kitty~]

If zombies were possible, there would not be anywhere near 80 billion of them, because most of them are decomposed too far to be able to be zombies...

Moral of the story: Purchasing condoms can save the world from overpopulation. Allowing homosexuals to live their life will help too.

[spidersilva]

There are also people on this planet who are not in the system. There are tribal people who don't even know about the city or other people out there.

You have to remember that in some areas, people don't even know that condoms exist. Also, there are some people that believe that condoms go against their religious beliefs. What I'm trying to say is that handing out condoms isn't going to instantly solve the population issue.

You also have to take into account that in some societies, a family with many children is the only way they know how to live. Forcing some societies to have less children all of a sudden might cause the entire society to collapse. If we want these societies to have less children, they would need to adjust their lifestyle. The situation is too complicated to just tell other countries, "stop having children." Anyways, I better stop this rant, this isn't the CT forum.

Some food for thought:

If you stood EVERY man, woman, and child shoulder to shoulder we could all fit in the square area of LA city limits.

China would fit in LA? waaaaat

Just because Vatican City is geographically located in Italy doesn't mean that the Vatican belongs to Italy. It just sounds like they chose a horrible location, in this case, within another country.

[UserNameGoesHere]

Izzy, if I were to guess, Vatican City is a country moreso because the Catholic church and specifically Popes historically held far more power than they do today. It used to be even kings would seek the Pope's favor and the Pope could sort of meta-rule over multiple countries in a way.

Emithith, no offense to you, but I found these two statements absolutely hilarious "Best start learning Chinese and Indian." and "I didn't mean Indian, I meant the language which Indians speak, because I cannot remember the name of their language. Hindu?"

[Cavernio]

Chinese isn't a language either, I learned Vatican City as its own country back when I learned all the countries of Europe in junior high, China already DOES limit the number of children you can have, since the 70's, the language is Hindi not Hindu which is the most prevalent language in most of India, particularly for businesses. Stereotypical Indian accents are from Hindi speakers. You can always limit yourself to the number of children you will have; if you only have 2 kids you're keeping the population in equilibrium. Implementing a child limit law in the US would economically be feasible, but it would never be passed and/or never listened to there. Of course, the people whom a law like this should be applied to would most likely be exempt, like mormons, for going against religious beliefs and culture.
