Ok here is the contradiction I just cant seem to fathom. Your saying we are living unsustainably, I agree but you said you would not mind at all dropping a NUKE on an entire country! Do you see what Im getting it? your talking about how we are destroying the environment, which once again I agree but your also saying lets drop nukes on people. As if a Nuke is the best thing that can happen to the earth.Star_Ocean wrote:There are almost 7 billion people on earth now (not 6 billion) and it is growing immensely and should be over 10 billion by 2050. We are living so unbelievably unsustainable that there is no way we can stay the way we are much longer. We are destroying the environment (in more ways than just global warming), sucking up every resource imaginable and we are causing so much harm to the earth that it is ridiculous.Plisken wrote:0_o? we are overpopulated BY about 6 billion? you know there are about 6 billion humans alive in total on earth right?Star_Ocean wrote:Fine by me. The less human beings on the planet, the better. We are overpopulated by about 6 billion people, so a bunch of people dying does not bother me.Burning Reflection wrote:^ I can't believe people find it funny to joke about or find it acceptable to drop a Nuclear bomb on any human being. Let's drop a nuke on your head or family and see how funny that'd be.
A bunch of people dying doesnt bother you huh? less humans the better right? so go kill yourself, that way your happy and the rest of the world is happy!
I have been studying this in college for the last three years, I know what I am talking about. For us to live sustainably (which means us consuming resources at the same rate they are recovering), we would need less than a billion people on Earth. Right now, we'll be completely out of our major resources in about 100 years.
The last year we were living even close to sustainably was before the Industrial Revolution. Since then, our unhealthy living has skyrocketed.
And no, I do not care if people die. It's part of life. If I bitched and moaned about every single person that died, I'd be depressed my entire life.
Dropping Nuke's anywhere is millions of times worst then having a higher population on earth. You speak of it as if its the only solution and the smartest one, your sounding a lot like the HAL 9000 from Space Odyssey >.>
While yes people die, Dropping nukes isnt people dying naturally. Thats people killing other people, in your case for personal gain.
Case in point, Dropping Nukes on people is MUCH worst to earth then letting people live. These same people will be the ones to come up with the real solutions to this problem.
