Seriously though, bolded: yes. A hundred times yes. Let me die in my sleep or get hit by a number 42C rather than a slow, painful, horrible death like that. If you believe you'll die easily and peacefully I think it's easier to accept. If you're in a burning building, for instance, chances are you'll die, but you'll likely die in horrible pain and terror. This is the difference. Quote:

No. The Geto Boys' lyrics even amplify that claim. The asphyxiation is more likely to be sleep vomit but, close enough. I also doubt I'll be murdered but there are people who want to kill me.

I think you need to lay off the Joy Division for awhile.
Yeah, it's an ori-ginal.

Being afraid of overpopulation is a weak argument. I don't get how you don't see that resources aren't meant to be consumed. What is so religious about that? You consume resources every single day. You would be dead if you didn't.

Ever flown over the USA? Or other parts of the world? There's so much un-used space. For some reason we've adapted to congregating lots of people into very small areas.
If we continue to subsidize farmers, ranchers, clean energy, international trade, etc., there's more than enough resources for everyone. On a side note, one of the striking things I learned traveling to China a number of times, is that because of their population issues they basically will eat ANYTHING that's edible and provides sustenance. We're kinda spoiled rotten here in the US and in Europe. But if we had to we'd adapt just like the far east has.
