The earth is not overpopulated. There's no evidence to suggest that it is. That you have cities with insane population densities is not proof. Arable land incapable of producing sufficient food to meet global population demands would be proof and it doesn't exist. For every region where people starve I can show you that it is internal political corruption and strife that starves those people.
Now does that mean I'll pop out 17 kids? No. I have one child that is mine genetically and that is my son. edit: "Fat kids are hard to kidnap". LOL ml4651

But again, food and clean water is just a small bit of what needs to be considered. We can look at the problems of clean breathing air, shelter, energy, employment, medical care, education and other resources that are fundamental. The question is how much population can Earth handle while being a suitable habitat, for both humans and other animals. Also needed to be considered is how much population can Earth sustain and at what level of quality. A world of 15 billion living, but suffering people is not a world of underpopulation. If you look at all forms of pollution, global warming, overfishing, species loss as a result of ecological habitat destruction, land use and desertification, etc., you see we are doing poorly. Non-renewable resources such as minerals, ores, and particularly oil are quickly depleting. We already had our discussion on peak oil. You need to consider what's called an ecological footprint: what we use and what can be regenerated. Looking at analyses and reports on our ecological footprint, it's evident there are more humans that what can be sustained. By no means is this a rapid or instantaneous process, but it's occurring nonetheless. So while you may not directly face the ramifications in your lifetime, the repercussions of overpopulation will be dire for future generations.

Uber, you're reinforcing the point I made earlier. The Earth is not overpopulated and regional issues does not make the broader statement correct. Also, you mention conflicts being waged over water resources. I suspect that any specific conflict you might name actually has larger issues at stake than just water so to say that they're being waged over water resources is hardly fair or accurate.
That said, I have stated all along that there are major changes everywhere that could be made. Developing Nations could benefit from some of the issues that the US has learned the hard way but they frequently do not appear to be interested. Relating to simply potable water...look at the pollution outflow from Chinese factories. With their population they're hurting themselves quicker and worse than the US ever did...even though the information on that was readily available.

I see absolutly nothing wrong with this. They are willing, able, and happy to bring more bundles into the world. No one is being forced to do this. Not the wife, not the husband. Each child is obviously cared for and have two caring parents. They are able to support their litter and they are happy for each child that comes in the world. If they want to produce 50 children, how exactly is that affecting you specifically? It is no different than 50 couples only having one each. Or 50 couples not having any at all and this family picking up the slack and having 50 of their own.
You speak of them being a burden on society, yet you dont take into account the millions of couples that cant have children. You are suggesting these people specifically are causing an imbalance when in fact what it really is, is that you simply think they stupid for having so many kids cuz YOU wouldnt have that many kids. Fine. Dont. No one is stopping you from refraining from spreading your genes around, but who the heck died and made you God that you should decide at what point enough is enough? I mean really. Who died and made you God? On a side note... I am amazed that this woman is actually ok with being pregnant for 10 years of her life!

The message is clear: There is a shortage of water, whether from pollution or population, and it has global implications. Vast reforms and spending will be needed to meet the demands of growing populations, something we're not keen on doing here. And while it might be easy to simply tell people to move, it isn't that easy. And I'm willing to bet 100 to 1 that you wouldn't be fine with those people moving to your area simply in search of potable water. People are immigrating to the developed world in search of resources that are dwindling, a prospect most developed nations dread. Unfortunately, however, we do not live in world where people like you and I can just pack our stuff up and fly to the nearest place that meets our needs. Sadly, demographic entrapment exists. In fact, where industrialization can help, a lot of Africa is "dedeveloping." In places, people are forced with either population control or killing their offspring just to survive on the resources they have. But again, the problem is twofold; not only is escaping starvation and hunger not a reality for many, but we're actually exacerbating the problem through desertification, as I noted previously. Human activities are making more arid areas unsuitable for water supply and food production. Additionally, increased numbers of droughts and floods as a result of global warming only make things worse.
