Totally agreeing with the Idiocracy comment. I've often said, that if I had the capacity, I would create and release an STD that has no symptoms other than rendering the carrier infertile. An STD that can be pretty easily avoided by not being stupid or careless, but which takes effect quickly and spreads easily.

Good thing I'm gay.
Not that it prevents me from making children, but adopting is a better option anyways.

There are certain STDs that can cause infertility, though I can't remember if it's chlamydia, syphillus or gonhorrea (sp?). Can't be arsed to look it up right now.

Can't tell if mistake or stealth pun . . . More topical, but those STD comes with an obvious symptoms. I really do think the best way for many areas of the world to reduce population growth is to lessen inequality, take sex eds out of the hands of religious organization, and educate.

On one hand, I'm never having kids. I know I'd be a terrible parent, and I'm a selfish fucker besides that. If there's anyone I'm spending money on, it's ME.
On the other, I've talked with my roomie about this. In America alone, we could pack everyone in this country into Texas, giving every person an acre of land, with room to spare. Of course my answer was, "Yeah, but we'd be in TEXAS"

This subject is purely academic, folks. When I'm optimistic I give the species another 500 years before we go extinct. When I'm realistic, 200. We're toast.
