[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The birth rate in the US is now below replacement, at 1.9. For white women, the birth rate is approximately the same in the US as it is in Communist China, which has had the horrible One Child policy for two generations now (1.6). In the entire developed world, the birth rate is below replacement. In some places, this happened in a single generation. This means that there are far too many old people, and not enough young people to care for them. This demographic disaster is compounded in the Asian world by tens of millions of missing girls.

These human-created problems have never been seen in all of human history: too many old people, too few young people, and a gender imbalance. Overpopulation is NOT a problem. Demographic imbalance IS a problem. The few people still having children in the Western world are the only hope we have for a stable, economically successful future. [/quote]

Have you noticed how much we are destroying the planet?  I, for one, think it is a good thing that we aren't breeding enough for "replacement".[/quote]

C9BL, your claim that the birth rate in the US is below replacement is a bald faced lie.  The birth rate is almost twice the death rate.  The death rate only exceeds the birth rate in a few counties.  Please stop with your incessant lying.  Overpopulation IS a problem.[/quote]

Overpopulation is a huge, long term problem, with irreversible consequences for humans and the environment.
By your logic, we should keep increasing the population by the trillions to care for the currently young, soon to be old -- a never ending cycle.
Age demographic imbalance would only be a problem for one generation of older people. Yes, it would suck to be them, but things would be so much better in the long run.
