anytime I hear things about AIDS, world hunger, global warming, religious conflicts, natural disasters, man made tragedies, etc, to me it all comes back to overpopulation. We have too many people next to each others, im not saying start world war 3 or spread around bird flu, but its hard to imagine things like that not approaching to "balance" out everything the way the planet tends to do.
So why isn't birth control being pushed more? Instead we look for the more complicated solutions instead of trying to cut the problems off from where they spawn.

this is what i mean though, power happy leaders, ignorance, intolerance, anger, personal conflicts, I think they are all natural results of so many people sharing the space, take as a hypothetical a planet with only 100,000 people, would there be as many problems? I seriously doubt that, so logic would suggest that over population is to blame, it makes us interact with people we would never have to, leading to slavery and conquest in the past,
all humans are not evil and ready to hurt others obviously , but as more and more people are born there is more risk that sociopaths and hte like will be born to cause problems for others, and those are the people who end up screwing things up for everyone, so why cant we just tone down the reproduction before we become too successful for our own good?

yes overpopulation is one of the problem but not the main one, our main problem is the lack of love and compassion.We are so selfish we only look out for our children and our family, we just don't care if the person beside us is dying of hunger,to make a long story short we need love we need to be our brother's keeper.

Absolutely not. Some of the most terrible wars, relatively speaking, have been fought when the earths population was less than one half of a billion. Ghengis Khan, and the Assyrian Empire for example, conquered territories with an absolute scorched earth policy....kill EVERY man, woman and child that was conquered...thus requiring no garrison forces to enforce their laws.
Ancient wars were far, far worse than even Nazi Germany's action on a per capita basis. Given the plagues, famines and disasters they faced, we of todays world have so many support networks, assistance, resources that it's not even a joke. The world has NEVER been a kinder, easier place to live than it is right now. Study recent history of the Irish famine where the british let over a million people starve to death rather than set a precedent over feeding the poor....and that was just over a hundred years ago!!!!

Root cause of terror in India is not overpopulation but it is the attitude of Islamic Fundamentalists. Live and let live policy is something which these terrorists cannot digest. Hindus generally are kind hearted people who can adjust with any kind of people provided they do not disrupt their day to day activities and do not try to impose their faith on them(Hindus). Tolerance of others faith is something which Muslims do not understand. This is the root cause of terror. Had the Indian population grown to twice the present one, the people in India will live harmoniously , but for Islam! we are doomed. Hindus do not have any problems with Muslims following Islam, but just see the atrocities Muslims have committed on Hindus, it is unforgettable. Anyway today is Rama Navami, the birthday of Shri Ram. On this occasion I pray to Lord Rama to give all Muslims good wisdom so that the world can be saved. Just the utterance of Ram Nam can ward of a lot of sins. So say with me "Jai Shri Ram". Ram is not only the Lord for Hindus, But for the whole world. He gives opportunity to even the worst Adharmi(sinner) to change. So "Ram Ki sharan me jao, sab chinta door hogi" Again, Jai Shree Ram

The best solution I can think of is for those who fault overpopulation, to set a date and time to kill themselves for the betterment of the planet.

I would say that ignorance and intolerance are at the root of the world's problems.
