I was born 10 days after the Carandiru Massacre . <| sep |> Jamen farvel og god vind fremover ! Dine holdninger kommer til at vre savnet i debatten herinde . <| sep |> Very true , very true . Apart from that last part , I wasn ' t implying at all that it was okay . It definitely needs to change . Overpopulation is not the cause of the lack of food in parts of the world , in fact it ' s not even in the top five factors iirc . It ' s far under war , bad farming practices , poverty etc . A lot of which is down to us . Our society exploits the rampant corruption worldwide for our own benefit . The real problem is human nature in large society in my own uneducated opinion , at least . I hope no one reading is taking what I say without a hefty portion of salt . People generally tend to do what is best for their wallet as opposed for the rest of the world . No one thinks that they themselves are evil and so justify this in several ways , be it if not us then someone else or everyone is doing it or simply because the victims are faceless . We take more than those below can afford to give and then blame them saying things like oh , their problems are caused by rampant breeding instead of looking at the deeper roots of the issue . I totally agree that we can ' t rely on advancements for everything , we may well make breakthroughs that help our fellow man but at the end of the day our attitudes need to change . That may be an idealistic notion but it ' s a fact . I do not think it ' s a matter of resources but instead our own actions towards them . I mean look at our modern society today . We eat so much meat , more than at any time throughout history . It ' s a staple part of almost every meal I ' d be lying if I said I wasn ' t guilty of this as well . Meat is much harder to grow and takes much more timeenergyresources to put on our plates . But since we live in a society of excess it does not matter , instead of changing our habits , we enforce things like battery farms , growth hormones , etc . Even if such things aren ' t intrinsically bad they certainly say a lot about our needs as a society . At the end of the day it ' s all down to our behaviour . We ' re fucking the world and one another over as is , adding even a few more billions isn ' t going to change that . Maybe the rate at which it happens but still . We can be sustainable with even higher populations , what needs to change is how we act , not our numbers . People having less children will not help . Especially in developing countries where high birth rates are matched by high death rates . Where farmers need offspring who will work .
