World Population - too high, too low?

Did you Know?

The whole world's population could fit in the state of Texas

Its not about how many people FIT on the planet, its about resources and waste management.... in my humble opinion.

Unfortunatly, we can't spread people around the world so each person get 10 arcres. In addition, what is the condition of the 10 acres you would get?
Not all land is farmable (if that's a word) and now your talking about distribution. Would all the people live on the hard bits and middle of the desert, and have food shipped to them.

Some areas of the world are overpopulated, and some underpopulated.

Take Italy for example. Without looking up specific figures right now, their population is way down, and most grow is through emmigration.

On the other had, take some area of Africa, Inda, Mexico, etc.

Now China, with its "one child policy"....human rights violation at its finest. Promoting infantcide and forced abortions. I once watched a documentary about Chinas "death rooms" it will haunt me until the day I die. A baby is left in a room, and checked on once in a while to see if she is dead yet (almost always female).

The documentors found one of these children, still alive, too late to save. A baby that looked up with begging dry eyes that didn't look much human, until she opened her mouth and a weak croaked babys cry came out. Then and now I cannot control my emotions. I'll never be able to erase that from my mind. And it's happening right now, this very second.

That is what the one child policy results in

So, in answer to the question, over/under.....depends.

I just want to express my own opinions without any aggressive meaning.
I don't know which documentary have you read before, but, by the way, you can tell me the name of the documentary. Of course, China is facing some domestic problems, such as overpopulation, the policy was made according to China's own situation, I'm sure that most of Chinese can understand the policy, it's really a problem with a larger population as time goes by. What the world will be if there are too many people around you, even no more room for you to turn. It is terrible. and there are still many reasons for China too make the policy. You, esp. some bad mans, always take the opportunity of abortion or something like that to attack our human rights, to critisize our human rights. It is all nonsense. Each country has its own culture and its own situation. You cannot always see us in your own way. You had better change you mind, think about the situation that we faced, are facing, and will face, then everthing will be OK.

I also read a recent article on foxnews or cnn, I can't remember which, that stated that if we wanted to bring the rest of the world up to speed with the US, technologically, there isn't enough copper left.
