Overpopulation

[robvalue]

Yes, I think overpopulation is a serious problem in many places. I don't think enough is being done about it politically. In England you are financially encouraged to have children to the point where it is an alternative to getting a job. I'm not kidding! And people like me who will never have kids are penalised at every opportunity. It's so arse backwards.

It's still nothing compared to countries where people are starving to death because there are so many of them, and thousands of people fleeing, looking for safety elsewhere.

I would dearly love to see more people adopting. It makes me so sad that there are children out there desperate for a home, while more and more are being created. If I were to have kids, I would adopt, simple as that. I'd never consider having my own, for a wealth of reasons; overpopulation being one.

I have very nonstandard views when it comes to the human race in general, views which cause many people to be uncomfortable unless they know me well enough to understand where I'm coming from. When someone announces a pregnancy, I try and be happy for them, but my internal dialogue I keep to myself.
