It's true, but, the original reason this topic came up was because dieburndie used it as a reason to justify abortion. To me that's really fitting the solution of "overpopulation" to the original problem of "how can we justify abortion?", because if you actually care about 'overpopulation'...

Who's been racist in this thread?

As of tonight's downtime, for some reason all the javascript menus and such now work in my firefox when they never did before. I dunno if you guys actually did anything, but that's pretty cool.
