The populations of poor countries are multiplying rapidly. Shouldn't we do the same so we won't be outnumbered in the years ahead?

Do what israel does: Offer incentives for having more kids- They give each woman a huge check when they leave the hospital and pay money each month until the child turns 18

Gosh no. We have so many people entering the country as it is and to over populate would be a disaster. It will come to a point like in China where you have to have permission to have a child. We have only a limited amount of space in the U.S. and we should practice limited prorogation, because we are simply running out of space for all of these people. Two children to a couple and no more. Grandmothers who have 14 grandchildren is ridiculous. Before you know it, we'll have to build houses in the Grand Canyon to accommodate them.

No, no, no. We will only have more problems if we have more people on the planet. Americans use 40 times more resources per person than in poor countries. Consumerism is a major part of the problem. People should make wiser choices and we should try to spread education and birth control.

The reason that people don't is - if you have kids, you have less money for yourself. If you don't have kids - all of that money is for you, you, you.
Maybe the people in poor countries are thinking, if we have a lot of kids, the Americans will come and take care of us.
There's no way you could force anyone to have children. How would you do that? T

Guess why they're poor? There are too many of them. There is always a certain percentage of poor and a certain percentage of rich. The more people you have, the more poor people you have. So if we increase our population, it will only create more poor people. Also, America does not have a shortage of poor people, we just have a means of making it look as if we are rich. You are naive for thinking that simply making you American makes you not poor.

Are you kidding? Do you even know the differece between a democracy and a dictatorship? You can some up with incentives like tax cuts for parents, better childcare and schools, but force them?

We maybe out-numerbered but countries with rapid growing population are also having more trouble housing, feeding, taking care of sanitary needs and educating this population. More is not always better.

No. The last thing the world needs are more unintentional pregnancy and unwanted children. It is just plain irresponsible to do that with some idea of "catching up".

I dont' know how to say this delicately, without putting too fine a point on it, but are you out of your mind? I've got to buy an online ticket to reserve a camping space. You ever see the movie Soylent Green?
