| Wow, a lot of good debates here. I like this, but I have to agree with Pooey here (may I ask why you made such a silly name?) we are not the only species on this planet, and we need to learn to live in harmony with everyone else.
that sounds corny, I know, but it's true. This world can only support so much of us, and we may think we're invincible, but in the end, a Tsunami can come along and kill over 200 000 of us in the course of a day. my point? this world is where we came from, we need to respect it, because no matter how big we get, the earth we live in is still bigger.
As for overpopulation, murder, Abortion and Conservationalism goes.....those are some pretty heavy hitting topics.
Abortion - Some people say that it's murder because life begins at conception. I say this is a load of bull. This is where the Chicken-egg syndrome comes into play. Technically, Life is a cycle and is neverending. To say life begins at any one time is dumb. Conception, vertilization....there was life before that in the parents, no question. that and the woman has a right to her own life, if she does not want to ruin her life by having a baby, then that's her decision. you say it's killing, but what about all the rest of the earth's creatures do we kill for our own well being? we kill cows, we kill chickens, we kill tigers, we kill elephants, we kill whales, we kill em all. why? because we consider ourselves superior. but why is a mass of cells so important? because it's a baby in development? who cares, we need to learn to make the world around us good before trying to repopulate the world. Abortion is a form of contraception, get over it. it's as preventative as using a condom or getting on the pill. obviously they were not ready for babies if they had an abortion. it's the same as the fools who tell us that contraception is wrong because every sperm cell is a possible baby. Trust me, we need less people reproducing in this world, or we're gonna screw ourselves.
