Overpopulation - Problem or not?
#1
Overpopulation - Problem or not?
I've seen people discussing the overpopulation issue quite frequently and I've heard arguments from both sides. Generally speaking, people who see overpopulation as a problem advocate that we have way too many people living on earth and these numbers need to be reduced considerably or even drastically. On the other hand, people who don't see overpopulation as an issue argue that we can support the current number of people on earth as long as we started to control the population numbers right now and implemented a better share, allocation and trade of resources (I've even heard someone proposing a Resource Based Economy)

What are your thoughts on this?

Since I live in a country with a lack of young population, I may not be seeing the big picture.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
