    The countries that understand the problem are not the ones making all those babies. As I said in a prior post, when economies get ushered in to the modern era, the birth rate voluntarily declines. To me, that's the only real solution to the problem, absent some inhumane China-like forced limit.

    Regarding feeding everyone...we're screwing with the check and balances by doing that. Modern agriculture has removed natural population control. (I'm not referring to starvation, I'm referring to people adjusting naturally to the environment as they always have.)

    The reproduction of a race is 2.1 children if it falls below that ,that race will disappear the white race and Chinese race are convinced to reduce their children . While the Africans and other countries are putting out a lot more than 2,1 children Can anyone say genocide.

    I don't follow your logic. If people are choosing not to have more children, where is this "genocide?"

    If your race does not reproduce it will die out. Who is convincing the people not to have children. It is only a choice when you have all the facts

    Oh poop. My decision to not have more children was my own. I knew our emotional and financial limitations; no one had to tell me "the facts." If others want to be broodmares and perpetuate their race, bully for them.

    And some of us know our own limitations.

    It may be sobering, somber, serious, that according to some of man's publshed decades ago plans,
    and according to God's Plan Published thousands of years ago,
    either way,
    soon between 4 billion and 7 billion people will die of famine, pestilence, warfare, and most people remaining in the world won't care a bit, really....
    anyway, there is a lot of suffering already, for the last few centuries, and more expected in the next few years or sooner.
    The population ? Yes, it will drop precipitously, by man's plan(or negligence) or by God's Plan.

    @Jeff Elohim

    Unless I misunderstand the concept of ALMIGHTY GOD, "man's plan" is governed and dictated by "God's Plan", is it not? Therefore, one and the same thing, if you believe in the latter, and possibly neither, if you believe in the former. Oh, my, what am I to believe?

    For people who don't believe in God, it is noted that men without any god have planned the elimination of most of the world's people, as known for several decades now.

    For those who believe in and trust the Father in heaven, the Father's Word Says that even after one-third (or some huge portion) of all mankind are killed, the remainder of mankind refuse to repent of serving demons. (whatever the remainder of mankind believes or thinks ).

    So whatever people think they are to believe, whether in God or in man, most are headed for destruction in any case.

    "...as known for several decades now.? By whom? I'm in the process of re-reading several things about how Europe, mainly the Germans, converted during the early middle ages. Many lives were lost during that process.

    Just found some of the referenced to >

    20 The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. 21 Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.

    The Apocalypse (Revelation 9) ....third of mankind was killed....

    The remainder, of course, all die later, many with suffering like a scorpion sting for
    I don't know about what you are referring to in Europe or the Germans.

    The plans to eliminate most of the world have been openly published in the usa since about the 60's or 70's or 80's (it's all the same to me/ in my memory/ vague as to when, but clear as to what)
    and they
    even put up 'famous'? (or infamous?) stone monuments , I think in Georgia, USA, with this clearly described. (the plan or need to eliminate billions to get 'down to' the 'ideal' population (as they thought and planned) ) ....

    You are referring to the Georgia Guidestones. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Guidestones

    No mention of "eliminating" anyone; just a recommendation to maintain a global population of under 500,000,000. Here are the actual inscriptions...

    A message consisting of a set of ten guidelines or principles is engraved on the Georgia Guidestones[8] in eight different languages, one language on each face of the four large upright stones. Moving clockwise around the structure from due north, these languages are: English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Traditional Chinese, and Russian.

    1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
    2. Guide reproduction wisely — improving fitness and diversity.
    3. Unite humanity with a living new language.
    4. Rule passion — faith — tradition — and all things with tempered reason.
    5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
    6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
    7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
    8. Balance personal rights with social duties.
    9. Prize truth — beauty — love — seeking harmony with the infinite.
    10. Be not a cancer on the Earth — Leave room for nature — Leave room for nature.
