"we are to over populated"
So far I haven't really heard any reasonable ways this can be done.
Yes Yes we can kill the poor or the Muslims or go Mad Max style and let anarchy rule.
None of these ways are realistic.
I use the guideline of" if I want a depopulation would I be willing to support those measures if it involved my own family", would I want to see some of my grandchildren culled for the worlds sake, would I be happy to have no grandchildren.
Education is always the big one that you hear will change things.... will education stop a couple of horney teens from rooting or stop sexual abuse in a war.....
Contraception seems to be the best solution, maybe even putting it in the water of some places like fluoride (although there would be no choice there)

Start to penalize people who have kids instead of rewarding them like we do in Australia.
Was china's solution of 1 child really so bad.
I'm sure there are reasonable ways to reduce the population and id love to hear them.
