What if your parents had that attitude, where would you be, in some used condom.

Call me a socialist
Where would I be if I hit the inside of a condom? Not stuck in a world where random chance can lead to injury and handicap, but never to superhuman strength, where
"O-faces" last seconds and toothaches last days.
I'm not suicidal or anything, but
if life was a video game nobody would voluntarily play it - frankly the reward balance is rubbish!
One thing's for certain, the siblings-(not)to-be that ended up in condoms or elsewhere, aren't missing anything.
As for the population explosion, I could drive a different Hummer to work every day of the week and leave them all idling on their days off, and still be "greener" than any family with children. 7 billion is a lot of people... I doubt there'd be an ecomodder.com or much eco-anything if we were 'only' 1 billion strong. Disappointingly, there's no elegant way to rapidly drop population so the best we can do for a smooth reduction is to spread out 4th dimensionally, waiting a few years longer to reproduce rather than trying to be teen moms or whatever.
