Too Many People On the Planet??

[padcrasher]

Also most US citizens would be pleased to know that Mexico's fertility rate has just reached 2.1 which is below their replacement rates....So their population should be leveling out..if not falling in the future.

WHY ARE THESE EGG-HEADS NEVER THE FIRST TO VOLUNTEER ON MAKING MORE ROOM?

Shouldn't they be the first to help us out??

Too many people on Earth? - seattlepi.com

probably because they feel they should be alive and making the decisions. ever heard of the Georgia Guidestones? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Guidestones Nobody really knows who authored the Georgia Guidestones. ... Creepy looking, aren't they? http://www.wired.com/science/discove...?currentPage=1

The problem is the citizens of poor nations with high birth rates desperately trying to better their station in life by moving to a more wealthy country.

The more you can help them raise their standard of living the more you would see their birth rates fall.

There is an upside to that. It can't be denied that we pay less for services and products because of their labor.

In Texas, they raise our crops, cook our food, clean our buildings, build our streets and bridges, build and repair our houses and commercial buildings, fix our cars, maintain our lawns, ....all for nearly minimum wage with no benefits.....And never do I hear them complain.

I actually edited what I wrote. It's probably true, all in all, that our standard of living is slightly lower because of immigration of low skilled workers.
