There's barely enough room for me and I've concluded that the rest of you are unsustainable. Y'all will just have to go.

Edit: Oooops, everyone's a critic. 9.1 billion by 2050.

Don't question UN Statistics, you'll end up getting lobotomized.

Yeah, whereas Americans are only having one or two kids per marriage, but getting married 3 or 4 times.

Don't you know that this means that in 50 years those damn A-rabs and Indians will be completely wiped out by the genetically superior American White? You see by having multiple marriages divorce settlements allow for better resource sharing (the rich give money to their poorer former spouses), also having each of these marriages bear fruit you get a greater genetic diversity which will in turn lead to superior intelligence and sporting prowess.

LOL...yeah, but at least we're getting married. Is marriage still an institution in Europe and S. Africa?

Why plateau at that? Why won't it continue the trend that it has been following? It was 1.5 billion in 1900, 3 billion in 1960, 6 billion in 2000, so it should be 12 billion in about 2030.

This is typical of any ecosystem in which more food is being produced than is required.
