They say the globalists want to reduce the world's population from 7 billion to 500 million. I can't seem to do the math on how much of a percent reduction that is. I know if you cut it in half that's a 50 percent reduction, right?

It's 7.1%. These are the same numbers that some people have been saying for 20-30 years.

500 million is 14% of 7 billion. Extrapolate that .. 100%-14% means by 86% = 6.5 billion reduction..

Actually I think the world population is much higher than 7 billion... But some want to make ALL births priority.. birth control unacceptable.. better to make intercourse illegal unless sanctioned by some Government decree!! How about that simple ASA pill between the knees of females famously declared by some cretin politician!

Maybe your question isn't right?? but this is your question sunbelt57>reduce the world's population from 7 billion to 500 million

Naw, I think you did it in your head (like I did) and came up with 1/14... NOT 14%. Garther had it correct at 7.1% OF the original value. The percent of reduction would be the inverse, 92.9 percent.

And that's the problem. The morons who postulate this garbage always see themselves as being among the chosen. if they really believed in a massive global population reduction, they'd lead by example and throw themselves off a bridge or hang themselves in the name of population reduction. But they never do.

Great idea. You jump first... I'll be right behind you, or not.

Those who espouse depopulating the earth are behind the instigation of hostilities between various incompatible ideologies.
Usual suspects:
[] Usurers versus Owners (bankers versus debtors)
[] Owners versus Takers (capitalists versus collectivists)
[] Elders versus Young (pensioners versus taxpayers)
[] Islam versus Kafirs (Muslims versus Infidels)
[] Turf battles between factions within each group
. . . .
Will the planet be fortunate enough to have 500 million survivors? And will they be wise or foolish?
