Charles Dickens "Scrooge" was actually a political statement about the concerns of overpopulation

Dunno. Hitler seemed to think the world was better minus those 6 million he said were contributing to the demise of the world

And Stalin seemed to think that the few hundred million or so he murdered were not worthy of breath either.

How many more you think should be killed?

Deliberate and childish garbage.
If you are ill prepared to discuss sensible propositions , do not waste my time with schoolboy attempts to be funny .
I frankly have never seen such a childish post from anybody else on any topic .

If you have no relevant comment , just use the one Americanism of , Dunno.

I love it when you begin your reply with a statement that reflects your entire remark, not the person you took umbrage with.

I have no specific interest in the OP author . Substance not person .

I simply suggest that the case for controlling population numbers should be self evident to anybody of good intelligence .

Separately you can then decide on best ways to achieve debated and agreed defined targets .

For the OP to introduce Hitler and Stalin is either stupidity or deliberate Deflection .
A form of deliberate misinformation to feed and fill those who are Gullible with Fake Relevance information .

Well, that was a reasonable reply.

Population. Those who think population growth should be controlled have no business in the debate.

There should be no debate either way. We will adapt to the direction we take ourselves.

But you now have fallen straight into the trap of being Censorius .
A Fascist view .

I could argue soberly and sanely that our History shows that the one thing that has happened to us as a species has been Manipulation .
On the most massive scale imaginable .

And once that is demonstrated any thought of us having adapted as a species is wrecked .Let alone being left to adapt from now on .

It's a huge subject and ,imho, well outside the capabilities of this chat site to usefully debate .
Possibly a Forum .
Ideally an Independent Think Tank .

Stating nobody should control the population is not fascist.
