Top 3 Pros
1) We now have a lot of options to do what we want and live where we want
2) Housing and other durable goods are getting very affordable right now
3) The girls have never looked better

Top 3 Cons
1) The job market is just plain catastrophic and there are lots of blame to go around
2) The government (crazy conservatives and looney liberals) wants to control our lives and decisions and steal from us for their ideological projects
3) The boobs that think Socialism or Corporatism is the answer to our problems when it is the source of our problems

I once heard that there is enough earth for every person to have over 100 sq. miles each based on a world population of 5 billion ; of course the problem with too many people is that they are severely clustered . That, plus, not all of earth is inhabitable . Think what it would be like if there wernt enough people .

The family up the street with 13 kids and counting needs to learn a thing or two (or 12) about overpopulation. Their carbon footprint alone is enough to make your head spin. But I digress.


Pros:

* travel options, ability to travel and see far off places
* advances in medicine
* advances in technology

Cons:

* the entitlement attitude (becoming more prevalent as younger generations grow up having been told they're the most special person in the world, etc. Yeah, you're special... just like everyone else).
* advances in technology; first thing that comes to mind is things like texting/ instant messaging. While I do text and message a lot, I still know how to hold an actual face-to-face conversation with another human being, something greatly lacking in the younger generations.
* the desire people have to get along with each other so badly they're willing to put their moral convictions aside just to keep the waters calm.

1. Ease of travel
2. Good medical care
3. Ease of communication

1. Breakdown of traditional values that held families and communities together.
2. Threat of war--nuclear, terrorism.
3. Government becomes more oppressive with every administration i.e. loss of more and more freedom.

well for the western hemisphere.

technology all kinds..

safety for now, wonder how long it can last though. lots of tension brewing

relative safe sources of good foods to eat. then again for how long


way to many people. getting crammed on this planet.

possible global war in the not so distant future.

pandemic sweeping across the globe.

energy resource depletion.

racial rioting.

species extintion.. food depletion caused by overpopulating and major climate change.. well i guess thats enough
