Yes the U.S. is overpopulated, which results in the need to get extremely important resources from the rest of the world which results in the wars and the low opinion of america in the rest of the world, and it will only get worse the more people that are shoved into an overconsuming america

I don't think there's an objective standard for what constitutes "overpopulation." People tend to settle into areas where there are other people because there are jobs, housing, utilities, stores, etc. there. There is a lot more land in this country which is very sparsely populated than land which is densely populated. People in New York and downtown L.A. might think we're overpopulated, but people in Idaho, Wyoming, or Iowa might see it completely differently. I don't believe we are anywhere near being overpopulated.

No.
LoL The U.S.A has population of 302,146,000 people in a area of 3,718,695sqmiles . When in China the population is 1,321,851,8883 in an areas of 3,704,427sqmiles. You see China is overpopulated, If we go to war with China, they have more man power than we do.

Yes. My state (Calif.) is overpopulated, the US is overpopulated, the planet is overpopulated.
I think overpopulation is a serious problem.

Not even close. We've got plenty of room.
If you gave every person in America a plot of land the size of a classroom, they'd all fit in Texas.

YES! I love my country and wouldnt wanna live anywhere else, but our goverment makes us so hated. I can completely understand why people hate us as a country, b/c we do think we are the Sh*t. Yes we are a superpower, woo-hoo, but so is Britain, and no one hates them nearly as much. I think we use our power a bit more for good than evil. Why can't we be like our neighbors to the north? No one hates Canada...
I once heard a joke about Canada that said: "Why does Canada use military time if they never go to war?"
LMAO, it's so true, b/c they don't ever need to go to war! The U.S is definitely lossing it's popularity...

Not at all. LA, NYC, Chicago and other large cities are crowded but just visit most countries in Asia and you will see over population. We still have wide open spaces here in Texas and most states in the USA.

hell no!! The US is never short of space.
The USA only has a population density of 80 people per square mile.
In England where I live, it is 600.
