The problem is that so many people don't believe that the Earth is
finite. They think that it is infinite, just as many once thought
that the forests on land and the fishes in the sea were infinite.
Some people can not distinguish between "really huge" and "infinite".

They actually have enough of a clue to have noticed that even tho the
population numbers have increased very dramatically, we ALL live a hell of
a lot better than they did a couple of centurys ago and millennia ago in spades.

Aren't you happy with the effect of modern warfare?
Over 100 million killed in the last century.
War and abortions are methods of population control.

Wont be happening again now that nukes have ensured that we wont see another
world war.

Wrong, as always. Not one modern first world country is even self replacing on

imigration.
