H....A....Y...........M....A......N....... MY Jewish Space Laser can kick your Laser's butt.

Sounds like a little 3rd-grade child's statement, "No, YOU do too!

I was using EXAGGERATION to prove my point, which apparently I need to SPELL out. Biologists say that each animal species in a given location has a "HOLDING CAPACITY" (look it up)! My point is that humans in the US are above their HOLDING CAPACITY (probably by about 70 million people). I am NOT suggesting that 70 million people should "drink spiked Kool-aide" or march to the Ocean like Lemmings.
........Someone famous once wrote that WARS and PESTULANCE control the human population (when they exceed their holding capacity).
.........Now, just look at the recent world news. We HAVE (some think that it is over, past tense ...had) a worldwide Pandemic going on now......look at Shanghai, China (well past its holding capacity)! Now look at the WAR situation......many Military experts believe that we have already BEGUN WW3
.........Dictatorships reach out greedily for more resources and POWER, never satisfied!
..........I am not speaking about what IS (because what is ....is bad) I am idealistically speaking to our better angels about what COULD be! So, go ahead, call me a DREAMER......an outlier, a schemer.

Well put!

Facebook would be fine with some guard rails. and without Zuckerdingaling, who is a Dictator. The original concept was good, but it has the power to do "bad" things also.

Propaganda originating from overseas trolls has branded the NYT as "fake news" through repetition and repetition by disgraced US leaders - such that some of the confused, chaos-loving unwashed Americans also echo it!

TRUTH is harder to determine today than it was before social media. Facebook software is designed to keep each user on for as long as possible. They do this with software that LEADS them 1st to where the user WANTS to go - and THEN leads them down a rabbit hole to dark misinformation, propaganda, and conspiracy theory.
........Personally I HATE Zuckerdork and would NEVER be on Facebook!

Here is a chart of world population over the past few thousand years. Prior to date at the start of this chart it is pretty much flat line.

Agriculture started around 10,000 years ago.

If you look at the chart, from 10,000 BCE to 8,000 BCE the population growth was essentially zero - very little. Around 8,000 BCE (I think) agriculture started and you can see a slight flow occurring. After that I think the chart is self explanatory.

From what I have read that is because that is the level of population the world could sustain with only hunter/gatherers. Once agriculture started, there is evidence that agriculture allow our brains to grow (more calories, it is needs more as it got bigger) and allow for people to start living longer and reproducing. More of the spawn survived, since they had more food - from there it is a normal exponential growth curve. With the past couple hundred years on the liftoff portion.

Sorry, but you're talking about your own rants again (just trying to live up to your expectations...)

I don't need you to SPELL out anything. You can't SPELL!

To the rest of your rant, seek help...

There is NO denying that we (the world) are currently embroiled in a toxic stew of war, pestilence, and Global Warming. At a minimum, I am being helpful by pointing this out and how it affects everyone here locally. Many are using this forum to restrict ideas and pretend that things are just "peachy".

You do know that the earth has experienced many episodes of global warming I trust.

And mankind has had lots of wars in its history. And do not even get me started on the pestilence.

You quote government regulations from 1973. I rest my case. Also I know what woke means and you just may fit that definition

OMG I can’t believe this thread is still alive! Good behavior all! ( I guess)
