Are you worried about overpopulation of the Earth?

Now that we've hit 7 billion people, I started thinking about a college prof of mine. He stated that the earth can 'technically' only sustained food for 10 billion people.
Is that when the looting is going to start?

....Isn't the Rapture supposed to happen soon? That should clear up some space for the rest of us.
And if you don't believe in the Rapture don't worry.....
..............it's not the end of the world.

Pfft. Look into how much grain is wasted used to feed animals for meat while people are starving to death TODAY. We don't have a food problem, we have a compassion problem.
I'm what they call a flexitarian. I usually don't eat meat but goddamn I need the occasional burger or a couple of tacos. So I'm definitely part of the problem. That just means that I'm a hypocrite, not that the problem doesn't exist. Can't be helped though, I do loves me a tasty burger!!
Most of the time if it's suggested that we eat less meat people will actually eat more as a big "fuck you", usually while putting a "If we're not supposed to eat meat then why did God make animals so tasty?" bumper sticker next to their truck nuts. What can you do?

I thought the rapture could only get you if you were sliding down a slide and your balls collide.

That reminds me, did you hear about the guy freeballing in a pair of shorts who decided to turn around, have a seat and ride up the escalator backwards?
Not recommended.

Not? I'd recommend it to anyone doing that.
