You better learn how to deal with HUH, because it only gets worse after that.
I don't know if you have the expression in english, but here we say:

Little kids step on your feet, big kids step on your heart...

Great thread btw.

Yea, but I've learned through painful experience that calling women "big girl" rapidly loses its power as they age.

Sikander, at that point, tell them they are fat and should lose few pounds. Sure, she'll get furious with you and hurt, but after a while, she'll never challenge you because you can really do that.

This is not question (though your answer is also rather discouraging ). Everyone wants to be a hero, and "save the human race", esp. since sex is involved. But the fact is, that humans ARE facing the problem of negative growth.

According to WHAT investigative body?

Europe's birthrate is down to be sure, but last I checked Humanity is still good for unsustainable numbers of people through to mid-century. 8.000.000.000 if I remember the UN's estimate correctly.

besides, that only means that our society isn't functioning. We have to change something about it.

I thought the World's population was still growing. Do you have a source for your comment or do you simply mean tyhat the world's population is growing at a lower but still positive rate.

I don't see the problem though-- If the earth only had 500 million people rather than several billion, I don't believe our risk of extinction would be that much greater
