Don't worry about overpopulation in the West. Feminism, high divorce rates, sexbots, hashtag-metoo, transtrenders cutting their bits off, rising expenses and stagnant economies will make sure that never happens.

This thread is getting weird, but looking at the poll options, I guess that was the goal from the beginning.
Terminator, T2, True Lies, Aliens. This guy's alright in my book. Not my favorite film maker ever, but some of those I just listed gotta make it into my top 20 for sure.

He may be a great director, but he's a horrible person in general.

A lot of people don't know that he has a long history of treating his cast & crew like shit, as well as having a cutthroat attitude towards film making. Balder So when a plot of forest gets cleared to make way for urban sprawl, that doesn't bother you? I mean, you don't seem to be worried about the idea of 12 billion humans, so...

I mean, you don't seem to be worried about the idea of 12 billion humans, so... 12 billion people are a lot of fucking people, and while that is bad, it won't end the human race. Yes some compromises might be needed, but technology will prevail. Did you know that education is the no. 1 factor that prevents births? So when education becomes more standard in 3rd world countries, the issue will solve itself. There's no need to worry about overpopulation, worry about more serious things instead. Try to cut down the amount of plastic you use, get an electric car, recycle, just don't spend all your day worrying about something that will probably (most likely) be solved a generation or two after your dead. And don't worry about having a kid someday if you want.

And don't worry about having a kid someday if you want. I will NEVER let that happen. If fact that is the no.1 reason I am/choose to be a celibate. The main other reason being that I suffer from several genetic conditions (namely OCD) that would be passed on to offspring if I had one. I don't want there to be compromises. I just want all nature to stay like it is, or get better. If technology does prevail, people probably won't even have any interest in bringing back the nature lost due to "compromises".

Mate, there's been some good advancements on the scientific field of "not having children" in the last century, don't do that to yourself! About having children, don't forget that there's also adoption - a very humane way to help some kid, not increase human population (since you're worried about that) and not worry about passing down your genes if that's a problem somehow. What I'm saying is that you can have a healthy relationship and even a family (kids and all) without any increase in the human population, if that's worrying you. But, really, a culture is much more destructive to the environment than the raw number of humans - a few wasteful individuals will make much more damage than a lot of environmentally conscious people, so it's more about educating the next generation than about not having any kids around.

Dude, this is why you are mad all the time, go live a little or you are going to create unnecessary angsts no one wants, not you, not those around you. I'm not mad, I'm just passionate. And I don't feel as though anything is missing from my life; I'm very proud of my lifestyle. Cervantes I've always been a huge advocate of adoption, so I approve of what you said. I'd make a lousy father, though. I'm so introverted IRL that I'm borderline socially impaired. I barely talk to my immediate family as it is. I'm not up to the challenge of raising a kid.
