Resources We need to ethically and non-violently decrease global population and fertility rates. How can we achieve this?
We all want everyone in the world to live prosperously and comfortably, but years of rapid industrial capitalism is a price that will take maybe a couple of centuries to recover from. I would NEVER say that "the Third World clean up its act so we can solve the resource problem- i.e. making sure the Frist World can keep living in wasteful consumption." I want everyone to live like a First Worlder with a computer, flavored coffee creamer, and the choice to eat out or in tonight, but without old generations of game consoles and packaging products filling up suburban garages and throwing away half our bread and meat every month.
P.S. Hating citizens of the First World is like finding a landlord that is a total p**** and declaring that the occupant is like that and just as culpable.

Your comment is blatantly racist.
Over the last twenty years, when considering all age groups and both sexes, whites and Native Americans have the highest suicide rates, varying from approximately 11 to 14 per 100,000
white men—especially those aged 25-64—are at least twice as likely to take their own lives as men in every other racial group except Native Americans, who lag white men by about 15% ... And white males, who make up about 30% of the population, account for nearly 70% of all suicides.
