@hippyjoe1955 it's not wrong

@WoodyAq and your right people are living longer meaning the population is larger, it's not decreasing too much

@hippyjoe1955 It conflicts with the one you made up in your head?


One of many sources:

This entry focuses on the number of births per woman in a population. The most commonly used metric is the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) – or often simply 'fertility rate' – which measures the average number of children per woman. The global average fertility rate is just below 2.5 children per woman today.Dec 2, 2017

@hippyjoe1955 No, you clearly cant think, or understand. You've long proven that with your ridiculous opinions based on things you pull out of your arse.

@firefall So what is replacement level genius?

@hippyjoe1955 ok, if you dont understand basic terms, I give up

@Prisoner619 no we can't look at the world people, kid are dieing around the world because they don't have food

@MiraRoss and thats 100% about how food is distributed, not the lack of food. People have always been dying in large quantities because they dont have food, because famine is a political act, a choice made by whoever has control of power in a specific territory.

@MiraRoss Actual starvation levels have dropped dramatically. The problem is socialist politics causing poverty not shortage of food.

@room101 Yep. Wrong one. The one who wrote about the population bomb. Big sensation in the 1970s, but the predictions bombed.

@WoodyAq Yeah, I now know who you mean. My mistake.

@room101 No worries. I thought you were confusing him with Thomas Malthus, who made the same basic predictions in the 1820s.

@Mondayschild You might have missed a few zeros there ...

@WoodyAq haha looks that way!
