DogFox123 1,379 Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Yep, we should all be put to sleep at 70. Lower the retirement age and get more young in work, we have nothing to give past 60 anyway.... Nothing to give past 60 lol ... You are obviously very young ..... What? In a couple of years you'll be claiming the state pension and doing nothing of any importance.... Lower the retirement age, enjoy life for a few years then move on to the next life...

reddog70 236 Posted September 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 I don't think the population needs controlling, just think we need to stop the relatively few greedy fuckers accumulating the world's wealth and spend it on managing resources properly. We have the technology to grow crops on the sea or in the desert. First step is addressing our energy needs. Significant resources should be piled into fusion for a start, then the power of the tides should be harnessed on a massive scale. good points and i see what your saying, but just because maybe we could cope with a larger population through better managment, should it not come down to a better quality of life for those of us already here,more people means more cars on already congested roads most people now work a 9 to 5 job and some find themselves leaving 1 or 2 hours early every day just to get to work on time, leaving them to tired and overstressed for their real work ie family and recreation.even better public transport would come at huge cost and the motorist could then loose the freedom of there cars, more houses mean less green space more confinment brings more conflict and more queues in shops and super markets lol the list goes on Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When did I say that ? That's a completely different topic ... What I said was that somebody in their 60's still has plenty to give and we shouldn't be put to sleep at 70 ........

Francie 6,368 Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 how could the world be overpopulated when everyone could fit into texas with a hundred metre bit of land to grow crops for yourself, , it's the individual countries that need to sort there food an resources, all this bollocks is a myth, there earth is here for us to use, aye don't be reckless, but by feck there's some shite being talked.

MaximumPrey 4 Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 He has a very fair point for the most part. It's one of the reasons that the space race has picked up again. Overpopulation means we'll have to migrate somewhere else eventually. Mars is looking more and more tempting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Francie 6,368 Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 It's not who could fit where Francie The picture is much bigger than that It's what us as a species are pulling out of Mother Earth . We killing it at a ever increasing rate to fuel the greed of a few and the want of many . The world is a pollouted mess We killing it's flaura and fauna. We need to wake up Or it will very soon be too late. Put a rat on a allotment and it's happy as Larry Put 10 in a barrel and close the lid' see what happens. I know what your saying max about the planet, but I think we're being big headed to think that we can put a dent in mother nature, no way, to quote wee Mick from rocky, nature smarter than people think, an imo that's true, the earth will always keep spinning. The thing I said about texas, think about it, that's just one state in America, what about rest of the world, don't call for the elites bill shot, they want the world for themselves. Africa has untold untapped resources, it's keep the way it is for a reason, Africa could rule the world with resources alone, but no can't let that happen. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
