That was probably the only time in history that Deci was rooting for America...

Ok, this is a reasonable thing to get worried about. However, after a long period of indecision and turmoil, i think ive finally found the ultimate solution

do nothing

seriously people. many of you may say, "oh yeah like that would work, what about taking care of it now instead of down the line when its much worse?!"
     Think of the human race as a single entity with an obvious set amount of room to grow. Yes, populations are steadily increasing, but a number of things can take care of that (and already do).
1. Natural disasters
2. Disease
3. War (especially world wars)
4. Starvation due to food shortages
5. Lack of expansion (think of density-dependent cells in the human body)
     We can get worried now, and take drastic measures such as sterilents in drinking water, or restricting offspring count, but if that doesnt scream "just plain wrong', then what will? I think humanity largely underestimates the power of the ecosystem and the cycle of life. I guarentee that sooner or later we'll reach some form of a population cap or a massive event can decrease it.

That is why i dont understand exactly why this is a pressing issue at all.

rubbish and only used by n00bs?

The US is not a bunch of nOObs, we just vote for them.  And only seniors pay attention to local polls.

This means that the record amount of voter turnout from the presidential election is not present in local elections, since the seniors make up a majority of the votes, we lose budgets in schools and cultural events because the seniors are all on fixed budgets and vote to avoid property tax increases.  our population means nothing if the working generations dont act.

we are doomed.

personally i dont think condoms are meant to control mass population, condom were invented for personal securiuty from disease and unintentional pregnancy(especially among teen girls) i am divorced now, so i practice use of condoms for my self security.

it is a fact that most people that use condoms are not avoiding possable pregnancy, research was done at University at Buffalo that provides evidence that people practice safe sex to avoid HIV and Hep C.  Surveys done at Boston University also correlate the eveidence.

Fact: if someone was to have sex and was not worried about HIV or Hep C they would probably not were a condom and just "pull out" at climax and "hope" none of his little droids got past the Female defense station.

Pulling out early doesn't get women pregnant. Putting in does!

It wouldn't be as deep if a smaller man said it!!!!

Or would you rather continue to go out of your way to prove Flint and B_W right?
Here, try this:

  How do we fix this, China style population control?

In my mind the problem is self correcting.  If we only have x amount of room that can only support y amount of people then there is no problem with population growth.  In the end we'll either A) work out ways to produce more of what we need and space to accomodate the population or B) We'll overgrow the planets support capacity and begin to starve.  Starvation will weaken us making us more susceptible to disease and we will begin to die in exceptionally large numbers.  This means we'll have fewer people to support and problem solved.  Either way it's not really our concern.

we are never gna get anywhere in space we suck majorly

And I have to agree with DPS it's natural selection. The strong will survive. Why are we trying to save all the weaklings?

we need more planets.
