My response was satirically pointing out that second hand anecdotal stories are rather pointless. Just trying to be funny in what might be the most ridiculous thread on APC (which is quite a feat). I remember being in graduate school and using anecdotal stories in one of my first papers in an attempt to advance my argument…it earned me quite a hole it took the rest of the semester for me to dig out of. Peer reviewed double blind studies carry more weight. I don’t talk to 13 year olds so I can’t comment on your 13 year old discussions comment.

Answer: I’m not sure if the world is overpopulated or not (I’m not a liberal so I don’t spend a lot of time discussing such wacky suggestions). I’m willing to take a firm stance on helping people stay alive if we can and I don’t care who knows it.
