If you have more people than jobs that is too many in my opinion. Those without jobs are just dragging the ones working down. Why do people have to breed like rabbits anyway? There is no shortage of people in the world.
I guess I will never understand someone wanting more children or even pets than they can feed. As far as plenty of food goes, because it is on the planet does not mean everyone can eat it. So they still starve. As someone that has had to bury my own child I know the pain. No sex is good enough to go though that pain year after year. Strange they have no food or water for their children. But they have the strength to keep humping away.
Oh brother. Sex is hard-coded into us. And for a reason.
It has been LONG proven that population growth can potentially increase the number of jobs. It has been supported NUMEROUS times throughout the course of history and it makes A LOT of sense logically. Now if you don't want to consider those things and just want to go off your intuition, then I have nothing else to say. If you are interested in the studies or examples I speak of, let me know and I can send you some links/reading, but I won't waste my time with it if you are just going to brush it off.
Do you think the industrial revolution was a good or bad thing? How about previous innovations in machinery and agriculture? Your concerns have been expressed plenty of times historically by those afraid of losing their jobs and time and time again they are proven WRONG.
That is a societal matter- a change in the way people think of their responsibilities. There are still places in the world where children do take care of their parents.
You are not a deadwood person. No one is. Stop giving yourself such little credit and realize that you too are a valued member of society.
Unless bringing more people into the world solves the hunger problem
I don't want to tell people when to have sex. I just said if I had to keep burying my children I would just stop.Oh brother. Sex is hard-coded into us. And for a reason.
That aside, it is not your call to say whether others have sex or not- you can choose not to, but if they want to proliferate it is their right, so there is really no use complaining about it.

Not saying it will, but I am saying that the homeless is not a result of too many people. I guarantee you that if we had 1 million people on Earth we would probably still have some homeless people- just like when we actually had 1 million people on the Earth.
Were there "magnitudes" fewer homeless too?And a pressing question in economics might be how do you make it stop. It isn't necessarily to reduce population
As I said already, there were homeless people when there were magnitudes fewer people on the Earth too.
Of course, but does it matter if you have 1 person out of 1000 homeless or 1000 out of 1000000? The ratio is still 1/1000 for both.
What do you propose we do about it? I'll tell you one thing- this leftist rightist I'm a Republican I'm a Democrat and pure rejection of academia and intellectualism won't get us anywhere.
Your right. It really does not make any difference how many work or don't work. We will just keep trucking along.:unsure:
it is all ready here the people involved with manufacturing are nearly 20 % of population in working age 76% or so are in the service sector .the problem lies in this sector called services . there are three types good and necessary services like health care ,education and security and policing .others are nice to have and fill a human need like catering and entertainment to name a few . but there are toxic services like what is toxic assets which wasn't really assets to begin with . the original name was "sub-prime mortgage", which really mean a lousy mortgage because the customer was broke before signing on the dotted line and he know it and the lending bank knows it . but who cares the hole notion is to sell this so called mortgage to an investment bank who will yet do magical trick and com up with a phony name for a phony product called "collateralized debt obligations" . welcome to lehman brothers vision .
don't blame population for the rotten situation you are in . blame politicians and academic think tanks and voters who chose to live with lobbing .the helthy population is the real assets because they are he producer of services and products you need to consume and to barter with other nations .there is a golden rule you have to adhere to it which is pay and handsomely only to those who are involved with producing goods and real services , not the phony type . cut off the speculators and gamblers .what you are doing now is the opposite .
I did not say a damn thing about me being in a " rotten situation". Where the hell did you come up with that?
blaming the the academia think tank for not for not speaking about the bubble economy and danger of lobbing not for the activity , it is one of the constructive services .as for speculations and speculators they never make any thing good happen they are parasites there influence is always harmful .all they do is speculate the only legitimate speculators are the weather forecasters .
not you personally but the country of yours that lack jobs . maybe it was a mistake from my side to use this type of figurative speech .
By the way, what country are you from? I can almost guarantee you that there are speculators there too.
I see your point .trading in my mind is different from speculation what the farmers do and those who by there product or promise a product are trading they are not speculating the kind of speculation I'm against is were you by some thing you know very will it over valued but you expect it go up for the simple reason that others will speculate on it and the suplay is limited like the internet shares bubble.or when the product being bought or sold isn't really a product like CDO . as to the future markets and I have speculation on oil in mind it is a mix , some times it sheld the consumer that use oil as feedstock like Oil refineries but other times it is a major cause of price hike . and in the end it adds to the cost of product with out really adding any thing the cost will come in the end from the consumer one way or another .
