Do You Believe There are Just Too Many People in the World?

It's not about how much land is available, it's about whether there are enough resources to feed all of us, humanity is destroying itself.

If we spread out more, there would be even more environmental destruction to our earth, as more forests and tress are destroyed to make room for houses. Having the population concentrated into large cities is not necessarily a bad thing for our planet. However, to answer your question, yes I think there are too many people in the world. In fact, going back decades ago, I was alarmed that there were too many people in the world when the earth's population hit 5 billion people. And now we're approaching 8 billion people.

I do and have for many years. I think that if kids were brought up better I might not feel this way. But, so many nasty mouths, ill-bred, and ignorant young people roaming around really get my goat. Well-mannered ones with fresh and interesting ideas are refreshing and nice to be around.

I do think over population is an issue. All of our basic needs requires using up resources . . . and sadly, humans overuse and waste resources, the greedy beings we can be. There could be space, but we'd invade the territories of animals, forests, etc (we already are). Maybe it'd be doable if everyone could live off the land and be able to sustain minimally, but that doesn't seem to be enough for most humans.

@RebeccasFarm Yes;I believe so.I remember the time when mine was a small town with a population of less than 10000.There was peace here.People did not quarrel with each other.There were much space;jungles and grass lands.Now all that is history.Now the population has gone up to 500000.

Yes, I think that there are too many people in the world. When we visit a doctor we have to wait for hours, there are so many sick people. People are just continuing to have kids and suffer. I don't think there are enough resources for all people now.
