Then I recorded my message a few times until I was finally satisfied and now the Submit button won't activate so I can't submit it. 
Until there is sufficient (if not equal) food for all, I consider this planet grossly overpopulated. While I understand even in old times, someone (probably a dumbass lost in the woods, and evolutionarily deserving to die as something other than "the strongest) would starve to death -- but bottom line is, when entire nations are starving there's a problem. Space is not an indication of vacancy -- Adding a city block worth of space to an over-crowded restaurant may bring it within fire code, but it won't increase the potential patronage without first accommodating many other needs -- kitchen, staff, consumables and tables not withstanding.
"Earth" and "Population" are much more than a ratio of earth mass to man mass. There are great cultural and economic considerations that must be considered, as population is only as stable as the bodies that represent it. While the majority of the earth's patrons may not be starving, I can assure you --with great confidence-- that continuing to increase the population will in no way alleviate the problem(s). Is the earth so short of space we couldn't possibly fit another body on it? No. We could cram billions more onto the surface of the earth easily -- and even more if we wanted to start burrowing. Is there evidence to suggest there is more life on this planet than can be supported without extreme social and economic changes throughout the world? Undeniably yes.
Don't mistake me for benevolent, though -- I'm not personally concerned -- I'm admittedly a misanthrope. I'd pretty much keep calling it over-populated until I could count the population on my fingers. Fortunately, evidence supports my claim at the time.
On the upside, I'm sure we'll destroy ourselves well before we find out just how many we can cram in this phone booth.-allen (April 27, 2006, 02:10 PM)
Deozaan: brotherS split topics, since you're talk was a bit out of topic. You already got a few replies to that post. Check here: https://www.donation...index.php?topic=3414
Edit by brotherS: yes, sorry Deozaan! I thought you subscribed to the thread and noticed the split-jgpaiva (April 27, 2006, 01:25 PM)
Er ... if the entire planet was populated to the density of New York where would you grow food?-Carol Haynes (April 27, 2006, 01:17 PM)
You seem to be partially behaving akin to what you described you don't like. You've got your ideals and you think everyone else should have them.Well that ranks right up there with the most specious argument I have ever heard. The gist of my argument is I don't give a damn about their ideals. That their sole purpose in life...since they have no meaningful kind of life....is to force themselves on everyone else. If they had a really fulfilling and interesting life they would be too busy to notice the sins of others.
People who are overly concerned about their "special place" in society and how it should behave to their standards, are basically worms who in reality are bland, useless, beige, hollow insignifigant characters who will leave no lasting impression on anyone.
This is a societal phase and the next evolution of "political correctness". Ya know the general oppression of the masses and pressure to conform to an ideological norm. The attempt to eliminate personal freedom and supress individualism.
It must make these people really proud.-Cpilot (April 27, 2006, 01:56 AM)
Were I an arguing man, I'd say sucking a cigarette does more to serve an overpopulated planet than potentially contributing further to the gene pool
I recorded the message at least ten times and finally when I got one I was satisfied with, I pressed submit and got an error and lost it all!

I'm not even getting a 404 error. Just Firefox's page saying that the url is invalid. Does this link work for anyone else? When is this due? I'm away from home and don't have a microphone with me. 
While you health nuts are posting your this or that will kill you warnings, I've got this one to fire backCoffee lovers can drink up without fear of increasing their risk of heart disease, according to a major new study that found people could consume as many as six cups a day without upping their risk.
...
So the best answer is, if you enjoy coffee and you drink four to six cups a day, it's not going to cause you heart disease."
. . . this would be great news to me, drinking 2 pots a day, if I didn't love cigarettes so much

It's a shame others can't do the same.

well, of course I meant post production, even for my song. Cmon, I'm a computer geek!
Seriously, I was asking about the copyright issue, but I guess I'll forget about it for now. I helped a friend of mine do a radio show once, and I think I remember there being something like if you played a clip for 15 seconds or less, it was free, but anything more would require loyalties. Oh well...-superboyac (April 25, 2006, 07:17 PM)
