Why is it a sad day? :confused: The earth can sustain a _lot_ of people if resources are managed appropriately.
Watched code never compiles.

That "if" should answer why it is a sad day.

Mankind. The only species to start at the top and work its way downwards. Seven billion is not exactly a record to be proud of.

It's settled then, we ship everyone to Canada! ;P
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Was listening to a discussion on it earlier. 1 billion was in 1804, 6 billion in 1988, 9 billion will be 2050 and then numbers will start to decline rapidly. In 1950s average births per woman was 6, now it is 2.5. As that continues to drop then so will total population.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

Quite - for example, how many perfectly edible pumpkins are being wasted on Halloween across the globe this week?

So you suggest people not have any children because they may grow the number eventually to 8 billion and then 9 billion and then 10 billion which will make Earth more sad, more sad and more sad. Or you are just pointing out it is sad and not do anything about it?

I tell my friends/family to have 1 or no kids. We only have 1 kid ourselves. So I am probably doing more than most people. Nothing to be proud of though since there's not much effort involved.

I read estimates that say it'll be 10 billion by 2050 and most of that will be among the poorer parts of India and China. Meaning they'll be way below poverty levels.

It's all India's fault, you know. With a little help from China. ;P

I agree :-) But India's gender ratio is going down alarmingly, so soon there won't be enough women to procreate normally. Bad solution to a real problem.
