asia and africa are the ones going to get worse because most 3rd world countries have decreasing/stabilizing
i guess the US could nationalize food production and make sure that it gets to the US before the rest of the world |

I don't want to sound stupid. But the UN should make the one child rule global until the world can find a way to fight against overpopulation in the long term. |

that sounds really hard to pass and make enforceable because the countries that are growing the fastest have the least developed medical and judicial systems |

Yep. Plus, most countries just pretend like the UN's rules don't exist and go on their mary way executing people. *cough* Philippines *cough* |

because the UN rules practically don't exist
the UN is a good idea on paper but a pretty crappy one in practice
the best they can do with ALL 5 members of the security council is say "hey guys don't do that anymore" |

7 billion people living on about an acre each would fill the state of texas.

But since 7 billion lives in the state of texas, give or take a few hundred miles, than you'll need farms the size of russia to feed enough people.

Why not? Overpopulation is caused by people carelessly having children.
It would probably be useless through, there is no way to make the whole world follow one rule.
Would be nice if the US, Japan, India and Russia followed the rule through.

uh
russia and japan already have declining populations and the only real reason the US is gaining a significant amount of population is because of immigration
1 child policies in 1st world countries would only accelerate depopulation in those countries and not the rest of the world |

You know what I think about population increase? Okay, its obvious that children will go out in the world and buy some houses. Yea, to say... It takes up a lot of space. Part of my mother's side of the family have this 1 big family house, and about 2 of my uncles and aunts live in it. They have children, and the grandpa and grandma sticks around there too. Sure you can go out in the world if you have enough money to support a family and buy a house, but maybe just stick around and live in your parent's home. Inherit the property and have it your way. I know a family who is wealthy that has like 6 children and 2 parents. Some of the kids are already grown up. But having a family as big as that? Damn.
