I voted 'other', because these countries population problems are nothing compared to the many countries in which population is shrinking, or soon will be, or who's populations are aging rapidly due to very slow growth. Heck even China is rapidly aging. No, you're out of date to post a poll that suggests population growth is the problem - our problem in the future will be just the opposite.
the aging of the population in europe and japan and eventually the us, will have some negative economic consequences. that is one reason why i favor a very liberal immigration policy.
however, opebo, you are foolish if you are suggesting over population isnt a problem in the third world.
lewis, i just read in the paper that 600+ people have died in india since june 1st from......heavy rain. of course over-population and decrepit housing has a lot to do with this high number.
so, i still think that over-population in the third world is a bigger problem than declining populations in the first world.
That's not quite fair: 6" of rain fell on Houston in Tropical Storm Allison, and in the upper Midwest back in 1992(?), and both were devastated. In comparion
3 feet of rain fell in Calcutta
