Here are two interesting charts. One shows the top 15 countries by population in 2002. The other chart shows the projected top 15 countries by population in 2050 - based on today's birth/death rate trends.

Note that India passes China as the most populous country while the United States stays at number three. Meanwhile, Russia nearly drops off the chart and Germany and France are nowhere to be found.

I note that europeans are pretty much on the road to voluntary extinction, a unique lemming like phenomenon in response to a grotesquely evil culture and mass media.

Too many people in China + Declining Russian population and excess Russian land = Chinese annexing some Russian land.

Mexico doesn't move up? They'd be number three if the US wasn't on their northern border.

India has been a good friend to the U.S., and I'm sure they will have great hardships to have 50% more people within the same amount of space they have now. They also have one of the strongest democracies in their hemisphere! So here are some ideas...

Help India reduce their future overcrowding, and help us, by...

• Increasing greatly the allowable LEGAL immigration rate from India to the U.S., especially for hardworking young newlyweds.
• Calculating an immigration rate, from India, high enough to save our own Social Security system from bankruptcy.
• Reducing greatly the allowable immigration rate from those countries that harbor terrorists unfriendly to the U.S.
• Awarding portions of Afghanistan and Iraq to the Indian government for resettlement, in exchange for their permanent peacekeeping and democratization of those two countries.
• ...to see the looks on the faces of those POS jackels in Pakistan, Syria, Sudan, and elsewhere when we announce this new policy... Priceless.

Note that India passes China as the most populous country while the United States stays at number three.

Maybe the US population will remain stable in terms of numbers,but how many will even be able to speak English as a second-language? Thanks to the illegal alien invasion,the US will be a 3rd world country by then.
