Sorry if this is only a bit related to history but I'd like you to express your opinions on this matter.

The world is basically brimming with people, over 6 billion. Italy is perhaps the only one who's mortality rate is not rising nor falling. We carry on like this and our planet will be overpopulated, we will have nothing to live on, having to feed too many people.
China has already led the 'revolution' in allowing a couple to only have one child.

Yet, some places have no choice but to continue to overpopulate to survive, where your world is plagued by starvation and disease it is not really a choice.

Also with this huge overpopulation we are getting lots of average people as expected, but once in a while we get one absolute genius. There are many of them and they may not be famous but they are helping the world with research into nuclear and laser resources.

So if we do get one particular genius, he may be our solution by finding a way to stop this crisis.

The question is. Should we take the risk to leave this be or curb it right now by forcing extremely overpopulated countries such as China and some parts of Mexico? (Yes i know China already has it in force, i'm just restating my point)

You might think i'm evil by thinking to destroy human beings but i am merely like Seneca, a Roman who was hated but believed that what she did would be good for the people in the long term.

You sound like Malthus.

Also, you sound a bit scarey.

Have you seen the film: The Day The Earth Stood Still? I'm glad it was Keanu Reeves and not you, is all I can say!

It will be interesting to see what other students have to say about this (extremely right-wing) solution.

i warned you

I think i have seen the day the earth stood still. Big freeze because of global warming?


Also i suggest the 'flood-control' stops you making posts too fast but make it so that you can type what you want to say and than have to wait, it would be a lot more useful in my case

No - an alien comes to earth to save the earth by destroying the humans.

Ha - I've had trouble keeping up with you!!!
But the 'flood control' as you call it is unfortunately essential to stop (some, other) pupils posting abusive or pornographic posts which the moderators miss.
Or perhaps that is the kind of pupil you would wipe out/destroy???

I realised that but either way it works the same way. You can type your message but you cannot post it until you have waited 30 seconds.

By the way, having some experience in the use of 'bots' i am close to sure no-one would bother trying to beat a captcha system unless he had a bloodlust vendetta. Captcha is one of the hardest things to bypass... i would know
I've only ever seen it once. Not exactly a good place to mention what type of website it was against. (if your thinking porno graphical [any readers] than you're wrong, and stop trying to link it with everything you see.)

Basically you have a very good system especially with the thing that the moderator needs to read your message before posting and therefore i believe that you will not have an all-out flood with over one thousand people called the same name but with numbers on the end posting the same thing again and again.
