And to add to that, if we can't get people to stop reproducing, then I guess obesity will take care of the population control issues (hopefully). Surivial of the fittest! While it sucks if you get left behind. I wonder what will happen first, people exploding from the inside out (imploding?) or WWIII?

We already discussed this. Evolution has, and continues to favor those who easily become obese in our current environment. See earlier discussion in this thread. :p

I guarantee you fat people are breeding with great success.

And we're enabling it.

Keep in mind that we think very much alike.

That's cool. I just wanted to point out that evolution favored and continues to favor people prone to obesity within our current environment. :p

Oh man, don't get me started. ;)

You're mixing prodcutivity/modern society with true darwinism. Society is fighting mother nature - pure and simple. She's gonna bite us big time.

We're farging with mother nature and seeing the consequences. You and I could go on and on, but it's a discussion better left to one on one and a few beers. Cheers man. :beer:

LOL. I hear you man. What I'm trying to say is fat people (actually, people prone to obesity within our given environment) are having LOTS of kids, even in our current society. And that's what it all boils down to with evolution, right? They who breed more win?

And it's not the prettiest or smartest who are breeding more. Oh no. It's the ugliest, laziest and stupidest who are breeding like rabbits today.
