I'm not trying to make it go anywhere, because I know it won't.

They wouldn't. Without that piece of paper you would have a hard time getting a job even at McDonald's. If you tried to impress them with your smarts they would tell you to get lost.
McDonald's employs people that are at least fourteen. I don't think they expect a high school diploma from them.

In the US, because they don't have the sort of protection for workers that we have, people at McDonalds are usually older, it's just another dead end, low pay job for illegal immigrants.

Ah, OK. Well, at least it IS a job for illegal immigrants, right? :confused: I was only talking about in Australia, and I wouldn't work there anyway, although not because I consider it 'below me' or anything. I'm just lazy. ;P

Sure, I got that. As an Aussie who has spent time in the US, I figured I could see what your perspective and his both are, so I jumped in.

Me either.

Really ? I'd say you're far too smart to give your time to people like that. I'm sure you could find better paying work if you needed it.

The subject matter is far too dull. I'd rather talk about neurophysiology or electricity.

Plain facts are far more dull than the mechanics of civilization. You like psychology don't you>?

That's all right. It's nice to talk to you as opposed to Josh or Stan. I've never been out of Australia, and I've certainly never worked out of Australia (or in it).

Thanks. :) I was just trying to not be private-schooler-ish.

Only if those millions of people are completely isolated, like in North Korea. Otherwise it's impossible on that sort of scale.

It is. You have got a lot to learn. You can study math and science all you want, but that wont make you wise.

Well, you have to at least acknowledge that overpopulation and resource depletion are major problems.

Yeah, sure. People have been banging on about the population scare for decades. And the crisis just seems to never happen. As for resources, when the earth runs out we'll go find it on another planet. And if you think thats unlikely you are thinking like the people who told Collumbus he would sail off the edge of the world.

What other planet can we grow food on ? If the problem is one of depleted resources, how do we get there ?

http://wilderdom.com/images/WorldPopulationGraph.jpg[^] I imagine it probably will happen. I've noticed a subtle trend in the population growth.

Nobody told Columbus he'd sail off the edge of the world, and the fact that the world is a ball was known well before then. You're being kinda irresponsible if you think you can just run the Earth into the ground and 'oh, everything will work out'.

And the cost of each ton of resource from the other planet will be?

In 1492, every educated person knew that the world was round. Had done fore centuries. (Sorry, that sounds very picky - just saying, y'know. :))
