Will we ever need population control?

It seems like here in California, despite $400,000 houses becoming the norm, there is no sign of
the demand going down. Seems like more and more people just show up every year and the new houses being built is not keeping up with the demand. Seems like people from other states complain about how people from california drove up the property prices in their states. Gas prices at a all time high. I just read an article a few weeks aga (forgot where) that talks about how the food demand in this country will soon overwhelm the amount of food we can produce. Beer prices are slightly higher. The frequency spectrum is quickly overflooding.
Land, Gas, Food, Beer, and Frequencies....Blue Fin Tunas....seems like everything is running out.

Is there a point in which the resource will not support this growing population? If so, will we be forced to impliment some sort of population control policly?
Just curious.
 
NO don't care about world.
Just care about here in United States of California...err I mean America.

:roll: OH NO! We're gonna starve!
 
Depends on what county you're thinking of. If you're talking about first-world nations, our populations are already in decline; the only thing currently keeping the US population increase on the rise is immigration. Third World countries are where most of the population explosion is coming from.
 
The day the government institutes mandatory population control is the day I take up arms and fight back.

Why wait?
Because at this point I can still pretend I'm mostly free. 😛
 
the earth has built-in population control. it can only support X number of people. once we go over the limit, people will die and the population will go back down 🙂

Exactly, take any freshman bio class, and this will be mentioned. It's even in my Textbook where it talks about the different kinds of population growths.

Afraid they won't let you reproduce?

Would have thought the dating scene alone would have taken care of that notion 😉

j/k
 
Step 1: Figure out ways to corner the land, housing, gas, food, beer, frequency, and blue fin tuna markets.
Step 2: ...
Step 3: PROFIT!

LOL, Owned....

Seriously though, by the time that happens, we will have people emigrating to the new states like the moon, and canada.

It'll be like the old wesern expansion, except with speacesuits, and in the case of canada, more easily oppressed natives.
 
We will NEED population control but theres a good chance it aint' gonna happen. ACLU is gonna have a field day with the senator that proposes that.
 
wah wah, we're not free. oh fvcking well. we're still pretty well off. we are allowed sex, beer, food, and video games. so wtf are you hosenobs complaining about.
 
Deadly flu pandemic might put a dent in the human population.

Humans are too short-sighted and selfish to stop themselves.
