The world population went from 4.1 billion in 1990 to 5.2 billion in 2010.

We are doomed. We'll hit 6 billion by 2020 the way we're going. No way this rock can sustain that many people.

uhhh...the world is pushing an estimated 7 billion right now with between 6.7 and 6.9 billion.

We hit 6 billion at least 5 years ago.

This is the problem. There are probably hundreds, if not thousands, of families like this. There needs to be a cap. Me and the girlfriend talked about it. Things we work out, we get married, we have 3, MAX. After that, one of us are getting nipped up because after 3, MAYBE 4, you are being irresponsible. Personally, I'm happy with 2, but not opposed to 3. 4 is pushing it a little too far, IMO.

Pi...me and the gf are fine with 2, but we want to have another go at it in the future. 4 is pushing it.

We are one of the few creatures on this planet that can change our diet if we deplete a food source. We have also been able to engineer drugs to fight off disease instead of relying on evolution to combat microorganisms. With minimal natural predators, we have few ways to keep our species for growing exponentially.

The natural predator of man is man.

And the people with the highest IQs have the fewest children, I think it's between 0 and 1. Meanwhile stupid people keep popping them out.

The sad part is this is completely true. It sounds like a stereotype, but no, it's not. Criminals and idiots (almost the same thing) tend to have lots of children.

Its sometimes true in the United States perhaps, but not so true in poorer nations. In many of these countries where overpopulation is a real problem, most families have many kids, and not because they have a low iq. Just because its the norm. When my filipina wife moved to the US, she was surprised that most families had so few children.

I'm mainly talking about the U.S., of course. I'm more concerned about our regulation of population than the rest of the world.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
