We need a war

The population need to be reduced so humans don't destroy planet earth.  We also need to get rid of the losers, lazy, and stupid people - there are dragging us down.

Yes, and your self description along with your eagerness to have a war in which innocent men women and children would be slaughtered would make you the perfect candidate to lead the charge ''into the valley of death''.

If it fixes rush hour traffic then I'm all for it ;)

Yes, it would cull the herd. We can take life's losers, the dead-enders, the dregs, the detritus, the jetsam and flotsam and make them front line fodder so that I can continue live the lifestyle I deserve. Nice knowing you all, thanks for your service to our country. God bless America.

Let's put two opposing armies - one of the Rockies and one of the Appalachians - and let them fight it out in the middle. Lot's of wide open spaces to get all fancy on each others' butts. And if you do it quickly enough then you won't even need a wall to keep Mexicans out, they'll just naturally want to stay out of the battlefield.

Done

I hope those who agree will be the first to volunteer to sacrifice their lives if their country need more soldiers

War solves population and also works out our multicultural problems

The most intelligent country, or coalition would win. We need to weed out the gene pool. The strong would survive

Side: We need a war

I think overpopulation needs to be dealt with in a reasonable way.

If people would've listened long ago and stopped reproducing, but it's not helping

I do wonder how you might have become part of the population that inhabits the earth.

Well if we would just stop curling sick people or simply keep old and weak people alive as long as humanly possible it might make a difference.

Well when we are literally programmed to crave sex, and someone tells us to not have sex, what do you think is going to happen? We don't work that way, a human here and there may be able to defy their genetic predispositions pretty well but as an entire species, that's where the power of our instincts accumulates.

However I still agree with the chap above, war isn't a good solution, heck it's not much better then letting over population solve itself. Overpopulation is natural, it's always been a thing before, it's a thing now, and it will always be a thing. If we never find another solution to overpopulation we'll just become unsunstainable at some point, and start to die off. At least we aren't outright killing each other and deciding whose lives are worth more. That will be true downfall of our species.

We are intelligent problem solves, we'll find a way to make things work. Heck it is arguable that we aren't truly overpopulated, we are in fact to gluttonous, too greedy, to indulgent. Perhaps we just need to learn to live less comfortably.

War is infantile. Organized poverty is how you handle overpopulation. Starve them into short lifespans.

No, we don't need a war but I DO think we need to kill all the arrogant and misanthropic dolts who think the less intelligent and the less-motivated people in the world need to die.

LOL

You think your reason is justified and you're the same blasphemious atheist who complains About God's killings.

You're just a man thinking this.

You would have done worse than God if you were in his shoes those days.

Isn't that what you Progressives think the less intelligent and less-motivated people in the world need to die. Margret Sanger's dream is it not !

We don't need a war. If you feel the population needs to be reduced, why not start with yourself?

The people calling for war to reduce the population never want to volunteer themselves or their family/friends, to be the ones culled from society. Gee.....I freaking wonder why....

.....

I'm going to say this as nicely as possible because lord knows I've made my share of mistakes (I'm sure there are plenty in this post alone), but.....one shouldn't bring up a topic of culling the stupid people when you say there are in your opening statement. It should either be "they're" or "they are". But then....I would choose better education for the masses over a culling of society.

People need to be taught to not be lazy. They need encouragement to work hard. We shouldn't murder them!

We already have wars. But they take a long time to winnow down the population because we have so much protective gear and can fight from very far away. What you mean is we need a return to older style wars where lots and lots of people were cannon fodder. So basically we need stupid military leadership conducting stupid war.
