Liberals idea of paradise = zero people.

Conservatives idea of paradise = every square inch of the land surface of the planet filled with nothing but people and cattle. Some may love the idea of so many people you can’t take 5 steps without bumping into someone. I hate the thought of it.

When are you gonna commit suicide, since you believe there are too many people. Oh wait, that’s not what you believe. You believe there are too many ‘other’ people.

Good luck with that btw.

Most of the earth is empty today. Make a choice, move to an empty space.

Well, you can rest easy, because your fears of planetary overcrowding have no basis in reality. The facts:

1. 71% of the earth's surface is water- no people there.

2. 29% is land. Of that 29%;

3. less than 1% is occupied by humans,

4. 40% is pure wilderness- not occupied,

5. 15% desert - not occupied,

6. 15% near desert- sparsely occupied,

7. 22% agricultural- sparsely occupied.

The earth is in absolutely no danger of becoming full. There is no danger of the planet ever containing so many people that you can't take 5 steps without bumping into someone.
