Failing that, dinosaur killer.

I give it around 65 to 80 years... Then we will have a resource war.

Because our governments are more intrested on makeing a bigger gun, than space technology...

(or just play Justin biber on all the loudspeakers/radios all over the world at one time... Humanity cant deal with that much gay.)

You don't get it. I don't believe penicillin is useless...the greater medical community know it is growing useless. It is not dead yet and will still kill first strains of bacteria. It is the second strains that cause issue. You are asking how to reduce population. We do not not have to do a thing...bacteria will do that for use so why sit and dwell on how to reduce the population?

It will only be until April, 2052 before the Resource Wars break out.

The thing that amazes me is the folks who opt for nuclear war as the best way to solve the population problem. The instant, solution, as opposed to the long term solution gives us all a reason to step back and reflect on who we are culturaly. Euros are blood thirsty shelfish gits..

You wanted the best way to reduce world population, not the best way to "step back and reflect on who we are culturaly". As it stands, the most efficient way to reduce the world's population is widespread use of thermonuclear weapons, if you wanted something else, you should've specified it.

Bio weapons, withholding medicines, war. Is that the best you guys can come up with?

How about simply keeping our flies zipped up? All we have to do is keep a negative birthrate for a short while and the problem will be solved with nobody having to die.

The problem with that is getting everyone to join in.

Just wanted to post this.

Age my friends is the answer. Time is the fire in which we burn. Limit the world population to a certain number and calculate the precise number of births that just should allow in order to prevent too fast a collapse. It will take a while, it will be a tough ride with all the resource problems, but if you manage to do it, you would have no need to directly kill someone, removing some of the moral problems, as well as ensure that those who do grow up have an increasing amount of resources at their disposal. It's green and its mean

But no, in all seriousness, it is either complete population control or killing on a massive scale though all manner of devices. And still you wouldn't have enough space to bury all the billions of bodies. If we do chose war, than no body lives though the massacre of Humanity. If do take a slow approach and decide to sacrifice a lot in out time so that the following generations will have something to grow upon, then we might still have a slight chance to actually achieve something.

It's the Malthusian dilemma. Do you allow them to die due to hunger, disease, war, etc. or do you take the Huxley way and in one way or another control the birthing process. Any more "humane" ideas out there?
