States secession

Just because we do it with technology (e.g facebook) doesn't mean networking was not around. 2) If you have sex you are going to have babies. The founding fathers of your country would be total idiots to think after colonizing that a space would not get filled up eventually.

I think you're taking Tuna's statement a little too literally. Networking has been around since the dawn of man. Human beings are social animals. We all know that.  

Keeping that in mind, there is no way in hell Ben Franklin sat back in his rocking chair while puffing on a tobacco filled pipe, envisioning 16 year old girls (over 200+ years away) spending all day on a computer application (known as Facebook) talking/socializing with their friends.

On the second disagreement you have a valid point because it's easy to think that if people f*ck like rabbits, population growth will be positive. But the founding fathers didn't have access to the statistics that we have today. They did though, know of the Black Death, which caused negative population growth (in Europe at least) some centuries back.

India and China (Tuna did refer to the world pop, not US) have 35% of the world's population. They are also halfway around the globe and a long, long boat-ride away.  The founding fathers had their hands full building a nation. A mostly empty nation, except for all the Indians being ****d, killed, and forced to relocate. I highly doubt social networking (Facebook) and overpopulation (what we know of it today) were on their mind. Beating those damn British, inking the constitution, and taking advantage of slave labor was on their mind though.  

And the idea of overpopulation is highly subjective as well. What one might think of as too crowded, another might think of as comfy. I would never live in Chicago. Too damn crowded. I'm a suburbs kind of guy. I like my space. And the son of cattle rancher from Nebraska would call me nuts for thinking that my suburban home is spacious.

Interesting read on overpopulation.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overpopulation Lots of differing opinions.

Yeah that's what I mean, high gravity beer. I am not a big fan of some high gravity beers just because of the taste but I'm sure I would if I drank it more often ha. Shiner Bock, Heineken, Stella Artois are good. I even like Pabst Blue ribbon lol PBR. Do they sell Pabst in Canada?

Dang how much more? In Alabama I have seen beers with like 12% ever since they started allowing more alcohol in beers a few years ago. They had a slogan "Free the hops" or something

It's not a serious issue lol. It's only serious with old people. Like shut the f*** up you're old, let the stronger smarter faster more technologically advanced generations take it from here.   ....says the college dropout cuz his girfriend got knocked up...oh EXCUSE me younger, faster, stronger, smarter, technologically advanced young man.     Shut the f*** up yourself.   LooK I don't even know who you are but I do know that you are a complete dumbass. That gay ass highlighted text was meant for old people in general and I was being facetious. Also, the way the education system is now there is absolutely no reason to go to college. Like more than 70% of college graduates get a job that has nothing to do with their major so basically they get a 20-50,000$$ bill for being a dumbass and getting drunk and high. Sweet. I'd rather take my chances working for Honda. And I'm not just saying this to sound cool but I am more of a man than you will ever be. I'm 23 years old, have a great job, and just finished a custody battle over my two daughters with a psycho and not to mention my intellect would blow your face up your ass     Enough then.  If your sorry tale is true then I have no cruel interest in adding to your present (and no doubt future) woes with a smart-ass response...this time.   You say you were being facetious.  It did not come across that way.  In general,  nasty/mean posts WILL elicit a nasty/mean response.   Back on topic.

Lol whatever you say bud. But seriously, how could you not tell I was joking around about old people? Or maybe you took my post as being directed towards you? Anyways basically what I was saying is that majority of young people are democratic so you will see far right conservatives dwindle away. This isn't the first time this has happened in America you know. The more advanced we become and the more populated our world becomes the more changes you will see in our society. I know this is a crude example but there is a reason why ant colonies are ran the way they are. I'm not saying that is the future but if technology doubles in quality and performance roughly every 2 years (Moores Law) then imagine where we will be in the next 10 years and then think of how politics will need to change not to mention the worlds population in the next ten years.

For a start, we need to fix America's education system. Today, intelligence is determined mostly by math skills but that is harmful to the quality of education and even the economy. There are different types of intelligence (perception, creativity, math, memory, analytical, sense of direction, reading and comprehension etc) that are left untapped. An example on how to fix this is to require children to take tests every year or two to determine the skills that they are naturally good at and alter their classes accordingly. Of course you would still need to take your basic algebra, history, and English classes but it leaves more room for advanced classes better preparing you for a career. I like the way Germany's education system is set up because once you reach 18 you can either decide to graduate or stay in school an additional 2 years to learn even more which would work perfectly with America's growing 2 year college programs.

Sorry for the rant, I've drank some wine

well in my senior yearbook, for our senior poll we chose Canada as the best vacation spot over any other place because we could travel a few hours to drink at age 18 O.o
