people should not be moving into City areas anymore, they should be moving to rural areas
Britain won The Battle Of Britain in 1940. After that Britain was never in fear of German Invasion. The U.S. wasn't even in the war in 1940. Europe owes more to The Soviet Union that The U.S. for the defeat of Nazi Germany. You over inflate your importance .
To Churchill, this meant one thing above all: victory. Britain was no longer alone. Finally, the US would enter the war. “Being saturated and satiated with emotion and sensation, I went to bed and slept the sleep of the saved and thankful,” he wrote in his own history of World War II.

hell no, they should stay the hell where they are. where i live is still considered rural, we moved here in 74. when we got here our nearest neighbor was a mile down the rd. could go out on the main hwy and play on it for hours and never see a car.
now the nearest neighbor is a 1/4 mile, and the only reason there's none any closer, is because we won't sell any land to the developers like our old sell out neighbors did. also when you pull up to the stop sign on the main rd, if you don't have to wait for traffic to go by your lucky.
now we're the only patch of green around.

He does kind of have a point. When I went to the Philippines,there's a huge overpopulation issue due to its high birth rate. Streets are very crowded and it is hard to drive there if your not familiar with the streets.

Your main point is limiting reproduction worldwide, or just in the "problem areas"?
Yep. The population in the developed world has stabilised. This is a combination of the empowerment of women who can choose, education, things like improved child mortality, and the rapid change to societal norms.
The "problem areas" are countries and cultures where women cannot choose and where public and personal healthcare is backwards. The Middle East and East, West and Central Africa are areas where there is uncontrolled population growth.
I think Prince William is right. It stands to reason that the population of the world is too high when the natural environment is being destroyed and wasted.

I agree a great deal with what you said pretty much bang on you could have added that the number of people are actually tipping the scales to make the way things are less profitable for them so they need to balance things in their favor so they can satisfy their greed... like that is possible for them...
Oh yeah and I would reword dependency to enslavement...
The TRUE reason to say the world is overpopulated is that technology is making the common worker on an industrial scale, obsolete. These corporations have no inclination to pay a fair wage, either stateside or globally, and as robotics and machines replace the average punchcard worker, what is the need of those replaced?
It's going to cost a lot to keep people in step with social leaps and bounds..the overpopulation equates to "NON ESSENTIAL PERSONNEL" who merely exist and expect benefits to stay alive in order to continue to due so without the ability to do anything much more than exist. Idle minds may start revolutions....or conceptualize a threat to well established "institutions".
That is where "hemorrhaging" money comes into play for governments and corporations.
Why keep you alive?
Sucks, but believe it.

I propose birth control should be given there to gradually solve the overpopulation issue.
I hate to say this but the Third World may need a two child policy if they want to curb overpopulation. Only when the overpopulation crisis is over when they can finally end the policy.
