We will some how make Mars habitable and then stupid people are going to unleash the ancient powers of the former life forms on Mars and we will all die.

There's not really such thing as over population, at least long term.
If the planet can't support the population, some will die off.

The entire Population Bomb theory has been discredited. The earth's population is growing at a much slower rate than predicted 20-40 years ago. As opposed to the doomsday scenarios in sci-fi and left-wing literature the population of the world will not reach 20 billion or 25 billion triggering a global die-off from diminishing resources. Evidence now suggests that world population will peak sometime between 2050 and 2100 and not even top 10 billion. With the exception of fossil fuels the world has PLENTY of resources to handle that many people.

Aside from India and China, some countries are in a population crisis. Like Japan, where they aren't having enough children.
Who cares if youre not having enough children? As far as i know, japans population is doing fine.

Lately i have heard all this tuff about people saying that abortion is bad, etc. Well i dont disagree with you that it is in a way taking a life, but then I sat down and watched something on the discovery channel or something about overpopulation. I remembered talking about it in biology 2, and It seems to be getting worse. Think about it. We are developing new medicine to keep us healthier longer, and that means that there will be more people on this planet longer. Im not saying that developing medicine is bad. Im all for it. I just think that people who have 5-6 kids, or even 3-4 should really cut down on how many children they have. And with people trying to abolish abortion, well theres more people. And people say, "well just because the parents cant handle it right now doesnt mean you should kill it" Well... i think that may help in keeping our numbers down. It my seem mean, but I think that reducing birth is the most humane way of keeping numbers down. Isnt it better than death??

You must live in or around a large metro area. Ever been to the midwest or even Montana, Idaho, the Dakotas? There's plenty of room.

I am very concerned.
Buts its illegal to murder people in mass numbers.
Besides, I'm white and if I accuse all the colored people of not knowing how to use condoms, I'll come off like a racist.

There are people dieing off in famine and epidemics all over Africa. The idea of overpopulation is quite valid and it has caused people all over the planet to alter their outlook and activity. In China they have had a restriction on child bearing. There have been programs everywhere to increase awareness of fertility control. Planned Parenthood is not a figment of your imagination, nor Rowe vs. Wade. Do you really think having children is a trivial matter?
The quality of life is in some degree inversely proportional to population density. Many denizens of urban population centers will tell you this. If you don't know that, you are uninformed, deluded or inexperienced.
