Global overpopulation - Are there too many of us?

Mr Dorkenstein
Mr Dorkenstein: Earth was home to approximately 7,125,000,000 humans in July of 2013. At the current rate the numbers of us are expected to increase to 10,900,000,000 by 2050 (US Census Bureau). Are you okay with that? Do you think there's something we can and should do about it?

kajira of Gor: there are too many of us... we are behaving in a less than civilised manner because of overpopulation. south africans burn their victims. homophobic ugandans burn gay people by pouring petrol on them and setting alight. we rape children. plunder forests. pollute earth. filling the planet with our waste which is abundant. we do not care for our animals. old people.. humanity is no more. we are thieves stripping the planet and leaving nothing of value. god needs to cleanse his creation.

? Mr D... sorry you asked?

Mr Dorkenstein: Good points all but I still have hope that peace is the goal and that we'll get there. But that's just me. I think it can be turned around peacefully. It seems like there are only two paths, a fork in the road for the future of humanity. One is peaceful, the other is unthinkably horrible...but both are possible.

Mr Dorkenstein: You know what I agree with all you guys on these things. The problems are caused by men and can be solved by women. I mean boys with their toys like things that go "boom" and men will most likely try to settle everything with war always. But this is mother earth and all things are born of the females. I think if the women of this world can unite now with information being so fast and decide consciously to seize the power they alone could determine the future of life on earth. In fifty years the earth could resume to being a super fine place, with plenty of food and clean air and water and with all the benefits of modern technology. But women must own the reality that they will and must decide the future of life on earth. Men? Forget about em. We're nothing but trouble I think....

Mr Dorkenstein: Well I'm not talking about that kind of power. That's like Catherine the great who first annexed Crimea ultimately leading to the Russo-Turkish war. I'm talking about the power to say, "We are the women of this earth and we're going to stop having so many kids for a while" kind of power. Women can turn this around without firing a shot or having to be bribed by those with money.

Mr Dorkenstein: I'm just delighted we've got the courage to weigh in and have this discussion. War, famine and disease are last resort options. Actually, as I see it war is not an option at all, ever.

kajira of Gor: Dork I get what you are saying completely - refer to Dan browns book - Da Vinci code - all about the woman and her power as healer and restorer..it is a mother who holds the family together- unites or divides,,, far fewer rapists, murders, serial killers that are female .... I am hopeful just not positive

Mr Dorkenstein: I get what you're saying too edbruyn. Honestly on this subject I think we all have the same concerns, but maybe different ideas if anything we can do about it. That's the reason for the conversation. We live in a time when people are afraid to talk about the most important things. Not us though huh? Thank you so much. Thank you all. I really appreciate your thoughts.

Mr Dorkenstein: Finally a conversation worth having and the people with a courageous and inviting heart to pursue it. I'm curious to see what we can make of this. The rest is just trivia and we all might just be very surprised at the outcome….

LovelyBCBG13: I apologize if I was too forward before but I wanted my point to be directed...everything is run by the big boys up in the goverments....my grandfather used to tell me " nothing is by accident everything is PLANNED...open your eyes and stop believing the media they are paid to feed you LIES...

jpasco72: Not to distract from the current thread of this conversation. But I think when the earth has had enough it will take care of us. We will either be wiped out by disease, hunger or some stupid man made accident. Either we can live to learn with the Earth or accept the consequences. As the Pink Floyd song goes "she will take it back", as in Mother earth.

Mr Dorkenstein: I'm hopeful they're wrong about the ocean's rising twenty-two feet by 2100. That could get messy. "Anthropogenic Climate Change" they call it from pumping too much carbon into the atmosphere and melting the poles. That would suck. I hope they're wrong. But what if they're right?

LovelyBCBG13: Say NO to those RIFAD chips they want to insert in you everyone! It isn't for safety nor security... its the final way for them to control us whether it be our location, banking, thoughts and basically everything we praise as privacy...they will always try to sell security under false agendas ....don't be a sheep and research everything before you allow these corrupts (they may remain nameless) control YOU...think for yourself...slavery is NOT going to come back..just say NO...*Lovely*

Mr Dorkenstein: Okay so here's what I'm thinking. Should we shoot for 2015 or 2016? Maybe 2016 would be better. We get everyone in the whole world to not have any babies in 2016 for the whole year. You know just try it and see how it goes? One year isn't asking so much is it? And if it works we could try it again later? Comon you guys, we can do it and I personally am willing to make that commitment!!!!
