I agree with most of it, though maybe not QUITE as harshly, except that last sentence. Assume the following statistics: The population is one billion. 5% of the population is homosexual. That leaves 950,000,000. Assume the population is roughly 50% male, 50% female. Also assume that 80% of the heterosexual population will have children. 50% of that will have the maximum (2) children. So 190,000,000 couples will have one child, and 190,000,000 will have two. That will equate to 570,000,000 children born, on top of 380,000,000 parents, 190,000,000 people that did not have children, and 50,000,000 homosexuals who do not have children (by the way, assume 10% of homosexuals use vitro, which adds 5,000,000 children to the world.) In total, the population will be at 1,755,000,000 the following year, assuming the death rate to be at approximately 10% a year. Now, find the percentage increase and keep multiplying it.
At one billion, restrictions may still be necessary. The only difference is that right now, it is IMPENDINGLY necessary.
