Nobody would ever go for that.

You end up with millions of senior citizens with nobody to take care of them because there aren't enough younger people working in care.
See: China.

Also, this. Dependency ratio is a thing. Not to mention the countries with the highest crude birth rates are less developed countries where it would be difficult to enforce, just getting them to wear condoms is a huge issue.

The world population is going to start going back down in the next few years anyways. The birthrate in wealthy nations isn't that high and as more countries become wealthy their birthrates will go down as well. I don't think overpopulation is going to be a real problem especially as we get more advanced and conserve more energy.

How many siblings do you have? How many cousins? If the world had only one child per family, you theoretically would have no uncles or aunts, because both of your grand parents would have only had one child each, your mother and father. No cousins, nor siblings. Now, I ask how many siblings you have, because in the case of two or more, how would it be decided who lived ? The oldest born lives and the rest never get a chance?

The only problem I have is the intrusion we would be giving the government on our lives, but I really do hate having so many people...

i'm only having one kid idk what everyone else is doing.

I was gonna say that too

its only the poorer countries that have to worry about this

this policy wouldn't affect me, i have no siblings

be alot simpler and cost effective.

war is probably the least cost effective and simple way of killing people

It wouldn't be applicable to the world, Japan and Sweden already are post-industrialized nations, meaning they have decreasing populations.

For countries like the U.S., China, India, it would be effective in lowering and stabilizing population growth. Keep in mind the replacement birth rate is 2.1 children per couple, so eventually we would have to revert back to that.

Unfortunately this idea won't be enforced anytime soon in the U.S. and its just not possible to enforce in developing countries like India.

The proven most effective method of reducing population birth rates is through education on the sexual and economic (circle of poverty) levels, along with cost-free availability of multiple forms of birth control.

plus getting rid of most of the stragglers using resources in the third world countries wouldn't be a bad idea.

Drones wont kill more than around 5 people a shot though and explosives are expensive

killing people is expensive

At 1/27/13 12:35 PM, Tony-DarkGrave wrote: ever seen a drone strike its alot more than 5 kills its more like 20 and in crowded ghettos like india a single shot would be 100+

bullets are cheap but explosives arent. wont get more than 10 kills with an explosive on average though

thats how you population control a third world country.

I suppose this is better than my idea of nuking third world countries since my idea is more expensive and harmful to the whole Earth. I support this idea. Mass slaughter in developing nations will make the world a better place.

I think Bill Gates had some graphs on this issue, mainly that vaccination, education and generally higher living standards cause are the best methods of curbing overpopulation.

It's most likely true considering many developed countries have a population decline.

Bill Gates can shove his graphs up his bleeding heart rich boy ass. I have some graphs right here that says that's bullshit and the only way this issue can be solved is murdering large masses of people.

I also have some graphs that say I'm the Queen of Spain.

I don't know much about the statistics, but I would imagine that single child homes would probably not be as good as bigger ones. Wouldn't it be difficult for the kid to make friends because there would be no one in his own family that's close to his age? Again, I would need to verify some information on how that works.

First of all, no. That's a terrible idea and any country that does it is run by idiots. Second of all, is overpopulation really that big of an issue? I'm pretty sure Terra can sustain more people than we even have.

Also, anyone who thinks that we should actually commit genocide in order to control the population is completely insane and should be withheld from society.

Well, for China that's a good thing. We don't need any more terrible drivers.

ZING racism!

I'm helping by not having any at all. Fuck kids.
