- FaithclubDotNet, on 03/16/2008, -0/+53optimist
- dhVyse, on 03/16/2008, -2/+52We would never take over Canada. It's our trusty and stylish hat.
- gldfshnpcklejar, on 03/16/2008, -1/+48$50 says only Will Smith and his dog will survive till 2050.
- anareric, on 03/16/2008, -5/+49$50 says it will be under a billion.
- BluesFan, on 03/16/2008, -3/+45The good thing is I live in Canada so we should still have enough land and food for everyone.....the bad thing is we would probably be taken over by the U.S or China by then.
- blast_flame, on 03/16/2008, -3/+31Clearly by then the technological singularity will have happened. After that who knows.
- Pillage, on 03/16/2008, -1/+26All I want to do is make out with my Marlyn Monrobot
- Mardi, on 03/16/2008, -1/+24Math is hard.
- Konrad9, on 03/16/2008, -10/+32Do people actually believe our population growth is ever going to level off?
- Sc4v3ng3r, on 03/16/2008, -4/+21Yeah, anything can happen with that.
Once people have access to sex-bot or virtual sex program, in about 15-20 years, population rise will stagnate.
THere wont be any "accidental" child. - inactive, on 03/16/2008, -0/+17Don't you guys get it? There is a reason it's called Duke Nukem "Forever"
- inactive, on 03/16/2008, -0/+16WW III will have been going on for 24 years and it's just 13 years before Zefram Cochrane makes the first human warp flight with the Phoenix.
- deviouskoopa, on 03/16/2008, -2/+17This is an update in response to an uninteresting comment.
- inactive, on 03/16/2008, -0/+150.
DUN DUN DUN. - inactive, on 03/16/2008, -0/+14planet will survive - maybe just not people
- inactive, on 03/16/2008, -1/+14the thing i like about this joke is the fact that its so fresh
- Mardi, on 03/16/2008, -0/+12We also have lots of water.
- inactive, on 03/16/2008, -1/+13I'm guessing the population will be around 9 billion slaves to robots
- masterm1nd, on 03/16/2008, -0/+12 If you look at rate of growth, yes.
- hauln4, on 03/16/2008, -1/+12Once the Large Hadron Collider has been switched on, and a black hole swallows us all, this will no longer be an issue.....
- Spoomeister, on 03/16/2008, -4/+15...and that $50 will not only be worthless, but unrecognizable by then.
50 euros, though... - MutatedNantuko, on 03/16/2008, -0/+11Earth: 11 billion
Mars: 200 million.
I can dream, can't I? - Dukaso, on 03/16/2008, -0/+9Think we can fit an unlimited number of people in a limited space? No? Then we'll be leveling off eventually. The only problem is that we can either do it willfully or nature will be ensuring the deed is done, and it won't be pretty.
- thedinomeister, on 03/16/2008, -1/+10dugg for adding "ed" at the end of "dugg"
- whatever01, on 03/16/2008, -0/+8sunglasses are subsidized, that I know.
- RSS14, on 03/16/2008, -2/+10It doesn't matter if we're in the matrix. . .
- WeThePeople2012, on 03/16/2008, -1/+9The North American Union will exist way before then, so we won't have to take over Canada.
- JigoroKano, on 03/16/2008, -1/+9How about we stop subsidizing breeding. (Tax breaks for dependents, etc.)
- Dylson, on 03/16/2008, -0/+7Ok?
- paradigm1220, on 03/16/2008, -3/+10It really _has_ to level off, doesn't it? Cause I think it's too early to be even thinking about colonizing space.
"Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet, you are a plague" -Agent Smith - Pillage, on 03/16/2008, -1/+812 Models.
- absurdist, on 03/16/2008, -1/+8Sure thing. And maybe Jesus will have come back to straighten things out by then as well. And maybe I'll finally get my ***** pony.
- JigoroKano, on 03/16/2008, -1/+8Unless you really believe we are going to colonize space in the near future, then absolutely the human population will level off.
- Dukaso, on 03/16/2008, -0/+6So say we all.
Wait, what? - cambob76, on 03/16/2008, -3/+9How many people will inhabit the planet before population growth finally levels off? 6.7-6.8 billion.
- JosephStalin, on 03/16/2008, -0/+6How much do the clothes cost in The Matrix?
- BlackCow, on 03/16/2008, -3/+9Over 9000?
- jololli, on 03/16/2008, -0/+5Didn't YOU see I Am Legend? There was clearly more than one person :P
- mgrest, on 03/16/2008, -1/+6That's a good idea. Nuking the USA should buy us a huge amount of natural resources that are consumed by the 300 million people living there each year... just think how many people all those burgers and fries would feed in Africa...
- inactive, on 03/16/2008, -0/+5that's not even close to being true
- masterm1nd, on 03/16/2008, -0/+5Yeah, obviously those estimates are wrong. I'm going from a year old numbers, and it's a lot more than double the population right now. It was GMO food that raised earth's capacity greatly I believe.
- Spartycus, on 03/16/2008, -2/+7I love you Lucy Liubot!
- KnightWhoSaysNi, on 03/16/2008, -0/+5Chuck Norris wasted his powers on Huckabee.
- smcknigh, on 03/16/2008, -1/+6If nothing else kills off mankind, this will be it.
The problem is obvious and people are aware, but who has the authority to stop people from reproducing?
SCARY - mgrest, on 03/16/2008, -0/+5Actually, maybe that's the joke...
- yingjai, on 03/16/2008, -1/+5there is no such thing as first world or third world.
- moontime, on 03/16/2008, -0/+4Considering there is a global elite that can't wait to kill 90% of us, I think the question is irrelevant.
- mgrest, on 03/16/2008, -2/+6Maybe in some countries, but we won't be talking about the US Dollar....
- thatsmyaibo, on 03/16/2008, -0/+4Just wait til Skynet takes over....
