Ahem... North America, Europe, Japan, Australia etc
mhaze,
Ahem to you too. In these countries medicine has been keeping more people alive for longer, too many of which are not even of any use to the society ! I wouldn't call that successful population control. In other countries too, more & more people are added on a minute to minute basis. Success you reckon ? Or, have you forgotten that we're talking about population control, not out of control ?

"medicine has been keeping more people alive for longer, too many of which are not even of any use to the society !"

So a life is only valuable if it has societal uses? Wow! Ever heard of eugenics? There's just nothing to explain how anti-human that type of thinking is.

I suspect you're the type that hasn't looked at any actual data on this lest it interfere with what you want to be true but just for fun....

* the natural population increase in Europe is -0.7% (that's a decrease) and project to go to - 3.2% within a decade.

* in Australia its +4.8%, down from 8.1 in 2000, and projected to go negative by 2035

* in Japan its -2.1%

by contrast, in those countries well known for keeping people alive due to modern medicine...

* Uganda +32.7%
* Angola +35%
* Ethiopia 29.3%

and so on.

Countries with high natural population increases are undeveloped countries.

Countries with low natural population increases are highly developed countries.

Its evidence beyond dispute unless you decide you'd prefer to ignore the evidence.

by contrast, in those countries well known for keeping people alive due to modern medicine...
mhaze,
Of course modern medicine is fantastic but does it feed & house those people as well ?
You'll find most people are in favour of a healthier society, they just realise that even a healthier society is heading for disaster if there are too many people.
You should read Dr Hans Hass' Letter to the women of the World". It explains it all.

Ever heard of eugenics?
mhaze,
Yes, you ever heard of putting your money where your mouth is ?

"Yes, you ever heard of putting your money where your mouth is ?"

Huh? In context I have no idea what that means.

I suspect that makes two of us.

mhaze,
have you read that letter yet ?
