"Too many people" is only part of the population problem.

I too used to think that was all there was to it.

The problem isn't just people in Third World countries having 6 or 8 kids.

The other side of the coin is people consuming too much. People in overdeveloped countries, such as the US, Western European countries, etc., consuming too much.

I can't give you the exact figure--if anybody has one, please chime in--but I bet the average American citizen consumes 25 times as much as the average citizen of a Third World country.

1. Too many people?
   
Did you know that the entire population of the world could be put in Texas alone, and the density would be no greater than that of New York City? However, arable land resorces are quickly diminishing and migrating due to global warming. Soon, Canada will be the largest source of arable land in North America!

We do consume too much as a nation. This "live for today" attitude has to stop, and people need to start conserving use and saving money.

8.  It may be only part of the problem right now , but it is
   
a problem and will soon be the main problem . Certainly people must learn to consume far less in all areas of consumption . People seem to feel this is some sort of entitlement because they are american .

Look at how bad it's become compared to years ago , just the 60's alone had a few fast food dumps , now they are at every corner and set up to work well with the automobile with drive up windows . need to walk and don't , bicycles are a thing of the past .

everything is geared around cars and oil . We buy crap made that is soon outdated and not designed to be repaired so it's all land fill and buy new .

We did have TV repair and shoe repair and most everything repair shops , this is all but gone forever .

I am so glad I am older now , I can not take much more of this insanity . I saw it coming along time ago and it has accelerated each year .

When it takes little effort to do anything then the entire heart dies . Everything becomes pointless and meaningless when it's too easy like access to fast food in a car and no exercise in working but on a machine in a Gym .

Everything is so very screwed up and to the point where the youth don't see it at all because to them this seems completely normal and why shouldn't it , this is what people have allowed over the years .

I would never make it as a child today , never , it's harder now than people think . People think that machines have saved time and money when in fact it is the opposite effect .

What the hell kind of backwards logic and idiocy is this?
Yes we consume more because we have more.
We have more because of 200 + years of freedom and capitalism.

I suppose in a DUmmies mind the proper thing to do is for the USA to turn over its wealth to third world countries to watch them......go nowhere.
It has been tried for decades.

Sort of like Johnsons hopeless and failed war on poverty here but then you fools still have the same mentality towards your own lives and that is all this nonsense is really about isn`t it?
Redistribution of wealth,whether it be one nation to another or within a nation has never rescued anyone from the poverty,only determination and resolve can do that.

Something losers will never understand.

To DUmmies and liberals in general, the poor are heroes while the successful are criminal thieves of the wealth of the poor.  Unless the criminal thieves happen to be Kennedys, Kerrys, Castros, Edwardses, etc. etc.  Then they are a-okay.

DUmmies have a poverty mindset which is why they are all addicted to Cheetos and Diet Pepsi.

Or maybe the diet has just starved their brains.  Hard to say, did the visions cause the Videodrome tumor or did the Videodrome tumor cause the visions.  Ultimately, it doesn't matter because the effects are the same.

exactly. And it's pure jealousy on their part. They would LOVE to see things taken from the "wealthy" and redistributed to the poor. There's some kind of pathological need to be validated in a liberal's mind. They are so insecure and afraid of being successful. They really are guilt-ridden in this area. They love the spoils and but somehow don't want to work for it themselves. Taking it via taxes and other socialist methods is just a-okay though.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

To a modern liberal, good is evil and evil is the victim of good.

Not my words but all conservatives should view this:
