Population Control

I've been reading and I've come to a conclusion that a majority of the world's problems could be diminished by reduction of Developed nations' populations.
Think about it;
Lower population decreases the strain on the environment.
Lower population decreases the cost of goods.
Lower population decreases the strain of social programs.
Lower population lowers unemployment.
Lower population raises wages.
Lower population increases the attention that teachers can give to students.
Lower population encourages more attention put towards a smaller number of children by parents.
Lower population decreases the spread and contagiousness of disease.
Lower population decreases some of the pressures that lead to crime.
Lower population decreases poverty.


Of course, all of these would have to be accomplished by allowing abortions and a change towards "abstinence only" education in public schools.

Nations such as Japan and Italy are reporting negative population growths, coupled with inproved standards of living and higher incomes.

You have to be trolling...
Of course Malthus agreed with that, but that doesn't make it Malthusian. Malthus agreed that 1+1=2, does your belief that 1+1=2 make you Malthusian also? I believe you are some 14 year old who is like "lol i red communist manifesto im superior" and enjoys finding ways to starve people to death (a communist tradition) because he thinks it makes him "smrt". No one give a fuck anymore about your troll.

Malthus was wrong about technology, but I have taken this into account. Whether some new technology will make everything fine and dandy and everyone can have as many children as they want or whether mass starvation will become a reality as global warming sets in and fossil fuels get expensive, it is logical to prepare for the worst and only increase populations when we are certain it won't end up in sufferring.
