I'm not going to say we shouldn’t attack them first because if they were going to do something, then they would have done it when they had the chance. They wouldn't have threatened us if they had meant business. We already have wars going on and I'm pretty sure nobody here wants any more to be started. We shouldn't go looking for trouble, because we might get ourselves into a lot of it that we didn't bargain for. We shouldn't assume that Iran wants to fight. In America, we have that law that says we are innocent until proven guilty. If we are law-abiding American's then we should make that apply to this situation also. If just start going out and blowing up all the boats and lands that threaten us, then pretty soon we would be at war with the entire world. It could have been an honest mistake. I am glad that we did NOT respond. Like Mr. Baldwin said. If we had, we would probably be at war with Iran today. No, we shouldn’t attack the Iranians.

For some reason, people think skin color will effect the way someone will run the country. America CAN be ready for a black president, but people need to stop stereotyping over a simple skin tone. People should vote for Obama if they think he will lead our country well, but they shouldn't have it in their heads that he'll be a bad president because he is black. They should look at other aspects about him, not skin color, to choose if he'll be a good president. Racism in America really needs to stop.

I wonder when we are going to be out of carbon dioxide which is what is put off by the trees? How long will we continue to be around, will the world really end in 2012 like they have predicted?

What caught my eye however, was in the list of the largest cities coming to be. In that list, there was only one city in the USA! I think this will be a major problem in the future. We could run out of food and then more people would die. It will also cause more pollution because of more people using cars, more factories, and more waste in the dump. There are going to be more homeless people also. There will be so many people, that everyplace you go will probably look like a city today. I don’t know how else to control this problem, other than limiting the number of children each family has. Many people probably won’t like it, but it will be worse in the future for their children if it isn’t stopped. I can’t believe how many people there are going to be!

We should let them attack us first because they may be afraid of us and won't do any thing. But if we do something then we could get ourselvess into trouble since we are in Iraq fighting now.

I'm not sure that some people are ready for it. I'm also a little shaky on the fact that he hasnt been in the field of politics for very long and that might affect him. If we ended up voting for a female presedent the other countries who don't like women right might reconsider our alliances.

If something isn't done, then how are we going to get along with our everyday activities? People are having a hard enough time getting around in large cities as it is let alone adding more people. The streets of NYC and the park benches in Washington DC are lined with homeless people. It's really sad and depressing to know that there are going to have MORE homeless people in the world. There are going to be less jobs, more shacks, less natural resources and more diseases if the population increases, especially if it increases like this article says. This Earth is not built to hold this many people. I agree with Taylor. If something isn’t done, then how are we going to get along with our everyday activities?

Will We Have a child limit? Maybe. Will we have an increase in abortions? possibly. But this all depends on what the world leaders are going to do about it. This reminded me of the world count that Mr. Baldwin put up in class. Just to remind us- the world is growing in population more and more each year, and as sick of a thing to think, it makes you wonder- maybe such diseases as AIDS and cancers aren't such a bad thing in the long run. I am curious to see how the governments will handle this. This article states something that is on everyone’s mind, but no one has addressed. Will We Have a child limit? Maybe.

Thats a lot of people. I don't want that many people in the world. Because most people would try to imagrate to the U.S because we are amazing. Most people will want the freedom we get here and America will get very populated. I will feel like I am getting run out of my country. wow! Thats a lot of people.

Just think - THATS HOW THINGS ARE NOW!!! Just imagine what the situation will be later in life. As the article says, the higher the population gets the worse evreything else will get. Mostly everything that harms the Earth is our fault. Polution rates and the amount of dissease will steadilly escalate over the years. Sooner or later the living conditons will be too bad to live in. We need to do something about this. I am not attacking anyones beliefs but it think that abortion will help alot. There are a lot of people who have babies that they do not want and they end up keeping them. They are eventualy forced to drop out of school and add to the amount of people on welfare. If more people have abortions there will be less offspring and less people that are poor and living off welfare. Another way to slow the growth of our population is to scare people out of having babies. If we show them what will happen if they overpopulate the Earth maybe more people will reallize that having too many children is a bad thing. Which brings about the idea of limiting the amount of children a family can have. There are a lot of ways to stop our over population and we need to make people reallize what will happen.
