| Watch your language. Seems that the overwhelming consensus on this thread is that the American population is too high, and that large populations are bad. And that countering viewpoints (currently coming from one source on this thread) are shot down. Respect your opinion and the others expressed here, but disagree with them. A large population has many advantages. As does, occasionally, paranoia (which seems a tad extreme--you don't have a clue about what will happen centuries in the future [if the world even lasts that long]; the rest of the world aligning into a state or organization as a counterbalance to the unipolar United States might not be such a farfetched idea--indeed, more than a few prominent anti-Americans have already proposed such a union). So, how's this for a proposal: You can try to be polite and have your opinion, while will also try to be polite and have this one? |
Your ridiculous assertions that we need a population of nearly one and a half billion to stave off the military threat a future global coalition consisting of over 90% of world's nations is simply ridiculous. It's like something straight out of L. Ron Hubbard's writings.
In the world of international relations a multitude of individuals have made a multitude of suggestions/proposals. Nearly 99% of them never actually come to fruition.
We don't need to signicantly increase our population. We simply need to do a much better job of selecting which immigrants to take.
