A thought experiment.
Post 1945 explosions in population coincide with a general decline of the standard of living for the 3rd world poor- clearly an inextricable link between endemic poverty and overpopulation.
We have few and finite resources and not all nations will be able to effectively (most always the poor) feed and employ their populations. Soon the world population will be 7 billion- mainly in Asia and Africa- which will require massive levels of new jobs alone merely to employ new job market entrants (in addition to existing ones).
This is not feasibly achievable and we will constantly have a continuous growing gap between wealth and poverty with all the ills associated with poverty and societal wealth gaps.

Is the quickest, easiest most humane solution to simply nerve bomb overpopulated nations so that they may grow viable economies rather than sapping resources by focus on poverty segment basic needs and instead attain parity with 2nd tier nations?

Well actually i think the ideal world is a place where we have nothing.

the perfect world is a world where the child can choose if he wants to be born... yeah i am sure you could reach that point.
answer me this ..if a man blind and has never seen anything does it really torment him that much not to have it. for all you know sitting around on a computer all day thinking that going outside for half the day and working on a society where we are all turning into lazy slobs that think everything is ours is actually close to worse than being poor. at least those people savor their good, when i eat a meal or drink water i do not give it a second thought. Maybe it should be a crime punishable by death not to do well in school because rich countries have poor people too?, another question is everyone cant be wealthy otherwise they would all become common or midrange in wealth and small differences would become huge.

a person like you should just sit back and lol at life as you amount to exactly what you are worth....

The world does not want to be saved

You got your economics wrong.Wasn't there poverty 50 years back when population was less than half of now?This earth has the capacity to accommodate and sustain population many times over the present level but have humans the ability to do so?NO.Secondly,if population has to be reduced by bombing,then why not Rich nations who have cornered all the resources and are not willing to share the booty with poor people?One can go on and on but this line of thinking is as faulty as your idea of bombing.If you are really concerned then think of the ways and contribute in alleviation of poverty,in whatever small measure you can do. Do you have it in you??????.

well if you bomb them.. you destroy resources too..
i think there's a better solution...
we have to see the structure in a whole.. the current structure are making huge gap of the rich and the poor.
we just have to fix it so the structure can lessen the gap.

btw ! i live in Indonesia.. it's third world country ! how could you think of bombing me ! :p

It's best to accept that solutions to such problems will never be resolved and obviously will never be resolved with a bomb...

NO~! never, so brutal. they are poor, helpless them you're gonna kill them with a bomb ? how crazy! they are just poor but they are still humans, they feel what we also feel, so, if i were you, i'll just remember the golden rule,"do not do unto others what you don't want them to do to you", so that's it
