Being that I am usually invisible to this group, you probably will not seee
my post, but,,,, someone did the math, , (it was a blurb in a nnewpaper
article), and he came up with the figure that the land area in just the state
of Texas alone could hold all 6 billion of the earth's inhabitant's with over
1,200 cubic ft of space each. So say you have 4 or 5 of those persons in one
family living in one house they would not even need that much space apiece, so
there is plenty of room for all.
Eliminate the need for ammo dumps and missile silos and army bases and all
the things that the land is wasted by, and there would be plenty of land for
crops, animals, recreation, etc.

That is totally irresponsible psudo science perpetrated by the free
breeding right to lifers.
Numbers don't lie.
http://www.census.gov/ipc/www/worldhis.html
For the overwhelming period of humans on this rock, the global
population was less than 500 Million, which is about right.
Through technological innovation, we can push that number up to 2
Billion, *maybe* 2.5 Billion In an ecological/ecomically sound manner.
Even at 6 Billion which is atrocious and totally avoidable, the
warning bell was sounded in the early 1960s when the global population
was under 3 billion, but the turd world monkeys and their damn
breeding doubled the population in under 40 years, time to make the
monkeys eat the price as they die off from starvation and no drinking
water.
Eliminate the need for ammo dumps and missile silos and army bases and all
the things that the land is wasted by, and there would be plenty of land for
crops, animals, recreation, etc.
Why reward BREEDERS, they want to produce children like bacteria
replicate? fine they can eat their kids, the price of stupidity is
death, time to make the breeders start paying.

Hey thanks back! And thanks for replying to me. I had saved the article.
Here's what it says: (I didn't check it out by converting the sq.mi. into ft
and then dividing it up, but I figure if they put this info out there they
would assume someone 'would' check, so they wouldn't say it if it didn't work
out.)
Here it is:
“‘Overpopulation’ a Myth?”
“Amazing as it may seem, the entire population of the world can be housed in
the U.S. state of Texas,” reports Vitality magazine. According to the
article, the current United Nations estimate of the world’s population is
about six billion people, and Texas has a land area of some 262,000 square
miles [680,000 sq km]. The amount of living space per person would therefore be
more than 1,217 square feet [113 sq m]. “A family of 5 would thus occupy
more than 6,085 square feet [565 sq m] of living space. Even in Texas, that’s
a mansion,” says Vitality. “Meanwhile, the rest of the world would be
completely empty, available for all of mankind’s agricultural, manufacturing,
educational, and recreational activities!”

this is monkey thinking at it's best, 6 billion people in Texas, yeah
right. Here's one that's right down there ally, Mexico and Water,
Mexico owes the US a few Pentaillion gallons of water, the consume to
much from the Rio Grand. That's just mexico with it's 100M people.
Other people have posted about who cities are sinking because the
overbeeding monkeys are using the ground water faster than nature can
replace it, not to mention the logistics nightmare of trying to get
enough of anything into Texas.
All for what, to feed 6 Billion Monkeys, 4 Billion of the being
nothing more than surplus biological waste?
Tell you what, go find your own planet and cluster ***** it like that.

That just amazes me. I never thought to do a calculation like that but I
have always wondered how much of a problem the planet's population may be
becoming. I guess it's not a problem after all! :-)

The earth is a plan? So why doesn't the landlord get his ***** down here and
show us how to straighten it out? The only other alternative is to follow
the advice of those who claim to know or speak for the landlord. And we
all know what that gets us...
Wouldn't it be funny to find out one day that all the other planets in the
universe are virtual paradises and that the earth is the single run down
tenement created by a malicious God?

I once read another analysis similar to this. You could fit the entire
current population of the world into a single European nation, I believe it
was Poland, at the same population density as San Francisco.
The world is far from being over-populated. There are still far more
places where people aren't, than where they are. Even in the U.S.
As an aside, it would be kind of cool to actually see one of those
scenarios happen. Can you imaging being a cop or firefighter in
Texas-World?
