Let’s face it, the whole world would be better off if Myanmar had half its current population. Same with China, Pakistan, etc.

That is a despicably evil idea. We need single every eternal soul that God has created for his purposes and not ours. But besides that, from a purely economical perspective, people are the most valuable resource on earth. People are the means of production and consumption that drive the world's economy. Additionally, and maybe more importantly, people discover, invent, adapt and create even in slavery and other suboptimal conditions. Who are you or anyone else to say we would be better off with less. Why don't you volunteer to go first?

Let’s face it, the whole world would be better off if Myanmar had half its current population government. Same with China, Pakistan, etc. And that goes for the United States too!

FTFY

Birth control is a “dispicably evil idea?”

Get real. There are reasons that the resources of the world seem to be growing shorter in supply. Economic growth in the third world is the most significant reason, and it would be a whole lot less significant if the demand for more goods in China was coming from just a few hundred million people instead of 1.1 billion people. That’s just a fact of economics, which can’t be denied.

We can either do this the easy way by sending them birth control, or we can wait until they are slitting each others throats, as well as our own, because there are too many of them, too few resources to support them.
