Too many of the wrong type of people in this world. Not enough educated and achieving people and too much trash..the trash always multiply like flies.

The only way to truly address overpopulation is to educate women in third world countries. When women become educated and stop being trapped as serial breeders, they also stop having lots of children.

Yes way too many but its the quality of people that makes it way too many. Creative civilization building and inventor type people can never be too many. But those having the most kids are not the most creative ones. The most creative ones are having less children than any others.

I don't like children very much, and American children even less. So it was pretty wise of me not to breed. I'm selfless that way.

Arizona, you're right. Interesting how the PI is a catholic country and believe the use of birth control is a sin. There's a pretty big difference between Northern Asia, Southeast Asia, Southwest Asia in their sensibilities.
In my view you would have become a much nicer person if you did have children. Aren't you the one that thinks fetuses are parasites? Pretty cold. A child does wonders when it comes into the world for everyone.
