Overpopulation = MYTH

[Kaz]

just wanted to clear one thing up



With our current state you can fit the entire world's population into the state of Texas the population density would less than that of Manhattan. Niger which has the most poverty and overpopulation has 9 people per square km. The US has 28 people per square km, Japan, 340, Netherlands 484 and Hong Kong leading at a colossal 6,621. and Hong Kong is one of the richest places on the planet.

Famine and shortages are not caused by overpopulation because the sources of food like animals and plants grow at a faster rate than humans. In Niger, 2.5 million people have inadequate food because food production is managed by the state. That causes things like civil wars and government corruption that interfere with food distribution. The absence of property right, enforcement of price controls and other socialist experiments underway in other African countries are causing needless problems.

The engineering and industrial innovations of food production grows at an incredible rate. In the 1800's 99% of the population labored on farms and it was full of with famines and shortages. Today the population has grown vastly more, we can efficiently grow more food on less land, less than 1% of the population is farming and we overproduce food to the point where we give shiploads away to needy countries.

It is the policies of economic freedom of a country that determines its wealth and poverty, not overpopulation.



Check out this chart from gapminder (http://graphs.gapminder.org/world/), the richer the country, the lower the birth rate. As people get richer, they have less kids. Some countries have a negative growth rate. In places like Russia and Singapore, even with a national sex day they couldn't get their birth rates up.



and in a humourous way, this article is right on the money LOL:

the richer the country, the lower the birth rate. As people get richer, they have less kids.

They left out the chart for the death rate. The reason for, at least, 3rd world countries having higher birth rates is because the survival rate is much lower and to make up for it you must have more children since it's extremely possible that 1 in 4 kids won't make it passed 10 (for example). And for other countries they still practice the idea of 'overproducing' but the survival rate has gone so the custom of having more children for survival reasons becomes irrelevant. They'll still produce based on the idea that some of their children may not make it. It almost becomes a custom that has not been grown out of.

That earth can hold 77 bilion people of done right
But their are people on this earth that want get rid of most humans and they want to have only about 500,000 people on this earth left they will be slaves for the new world order.
