More people, more cars, more traffic jams, more *******s to put up with, less housing, higher housing rates, longer lines at the stores, resturants, etc. more more more of everything. BLAH. If i wasnt living in a crowded, overpriced place, where people CONTINUE to move to, every year, making it worse and worse as time goes on, i probably wouldnt have such an assinine view of it.

Unfortunately, more and more people ARE moving to America. hmm. Well yes, this is the land of opportunity and the land of immigrants. It's kind of funny in a way. We've got a lot of people bashing our country, yet they continue to move here in groves. :hmm: Get my point?

I just realized something. What the heck am I doing? Why am I telling everybody how great a country I live in? Maybe if I stop, they'll stop coming and we won't become overpopulated. I'm sorry.

It's all your fault fred. Next time I have to stand in line, or wait in traffic, I'm going to think "friggin fred, it's all his fault".

Wrong! Not enough work to go around here. It will just mean that a bunch more people will be on welfare and the ones who work will be paying for it all.


Some people in the US seem to think money grows on trees.

I find myself in agreement with you for once.

I think those guys ought to watch the vid from the link Avon Lady posted back on page 1 of this thread.

Actually its like this. More people - more crap, More Disease and less food and other resources that are necessary to survive.

And here is a another fact. The population doubles every 22 years but that was 30 years ago. As the world population expands it does so GEOMETRICALLY not ARITHMETHCIALLY.

For those that don't understand that concept don't worry. All it means is that we will double in population faster and faster over time.
