Sooooo many ignorant people in this world we live in. We need to stop having so big of families or we are going to end up like a virus or parasite to earth and kill ourselves out.

I don't think people are fornicating any more than they used to. It's just that modern medicine prevents people from dying. We need a zombie apocalypse. Duh.

Every other species ratio's flatten out, due to various ecological circumstances (lack of food, increase in predation, and just can't get jiggy with it) yet we humans are the exception. We don't have a primary predator (shark attacks need to happen on land dammit), we always find a new food source and well, when in doubt there is porn.
Sustainably I always found it interesting that if every person in the world lived as an American does, I think there needed to be seven and a half earths in order to have enough resources for everyone.

Not only is that not right, that's not even wrong. It's a meaningless statement. Saying something is "one molecule away" from plastic is like saying a farm is one letter away from a fart. Water is "one molecule away" from being explosive hydrogen gas.

It isn't the first world countries that have population explosions. Over time as countries evolve into modern nations the birth rate stabilizes. It doesn't mean that we will see the population decrease, but it does mean that over time it will even out and we'll be ok.

True, since Europe's birth to death ratio has evened out and in some case death has over taken births.
The main concern is China, India, Bangladesh and many of the Eastern Countries.
