Dude takes Discovery Channel hostage for promoting human procreation

Sadly, you're both right. It's either population control, or mass starvation. One or the other is inevitable. Overpopulation is what happens when society pressures people to procreate as young as possible, and refuses to talk about contraception as though it is a dirty word.

People are starving NOT because there isn't enough food, but because our economic systems are set up in such a way as to keep those who are starving from getting the food.

Want to lower the birth rate?
Educate women and give them equal access to "the market".

Nah. I think at this point, we pretty much ought to (temporarily... like some kind of reversible surgical procedure) sterilize everyone and when they're an adult, have them apply for a "parenting license."

Ah, well so long as we're being "practical" about it, can this procedure be done to boys only?

Or better yet, encourage pre-licencing homosexuality?

Nope -- boys and girls alike.

For one reason (apart from the interest of equality), we're just talking about people in the U.S. here... Don Fertilez Ramirez could still come to the U.S. on a visa (from a non-mandatory-temp-sterilization country) and knock up half of California in a week.

I don't know that someone's sexual taste has much to do with (too many) new lives being created/brought into the world. Unless I'm misunderstanding.

Yeah, consider my support of your totally not-practical plan officially pulled.

Same-sex sexual encounters don't result in accidental pregnancy. So if we encouraged people to have sex with those of their gender prior to their licensing for parenthood...no babies.
Apparently an idea of this shape and size is supposed to be in the Gay Agenda, but I've never seen it. Of course I haven't gotten my official toaster yet either, so what do I know?

This has gotten so stupid so quickly...

I seriously agree with this. The parenting process should be like the adoption process. Background check, credit check, see if the parent have a stable home, and a mental test should be given out. That way (hopefully) there would be more stable parents.

But, if that was the case then I wouldn't be here....: /
