Been around the world and found
That only stupid people are breeding
The cretins cloning and feeding
And I don't even own a tv

World population to rise by 40%
"The world's population is expected to rise from the current 6.5 billion to 9.1 billion by 2050, the UN says.
Virtually all the growth will be in the developing world, according to a report by the UN Population Division.
By contrast, the population of developed countries will remain almost static at 1.2 billion, the report adds. "
"Fifty-one countries -- including Germany, Italy, Japan and Russia -- should have smaller populations in 45 years.
"Since 1990-1995, fertility decline has been the rule among most developed countries," the report says.
But the populations of many developed countries with falling fertility rates, such as the United States and the United Kingdom, will increase due to the arrival of migrants. Zlotnik said developed countries will absorb about 2.2 million migrants every year until 2050."

D.I.N.K (my mom loves to call me that), I tend to think I'm one of the smart people that has it figured out. If you're not going to devote your life to your children, then DON'T HAVE CHILDREN. It's that simple.
Too bad the religious mantra "go forth and multiply" is pushed down the throats of developing nations. They'll multiply, but they won't be able to go forth. Imagine being born into a country with 2 billion people scrapping for the same lousy low-paying job. You wouldn't even stand a chance.
