You don't do community service.
Says you. I think I'll trust another source on this one.

Even if the government stopped helping it would not deter people having kids. This should be evidenced by the fact that this worlds population has continued to grow for thousands of years. The only time that there has been an actual drop was due to wars, disease, or natural castastrophy.

what part of "later" is too difficult for you to understand?
how many times throughout history have we seen example of uncontrolled population growth lead to famine?
then, those people and their kids should suffer the natural consequences of their stupidity
Zero. Famine is normally caused by wars, disease or a natural castastrophy. Never has it been caused by over population as whenever an area became over populated people just moved on to greener pastures so to speak.

with 7 billion people....there are no more "greener pastures" to move on to.

Right because people choose to be stupid.
What ever happened to kids being our future? Do you seriously want a class of people that are underfed, under educated due to skipping school so that they can find ways to feed themselves?
Do you not get that not everyone can be in the top 1%, not everyone can be in the 20%, not EVERYONE can be poor. It is the demographics that make up our society and unless we redistribute the wealth it will still be our demographics of society.
Not true!!! Australia's deserts aren't inhabited!
Population control is morally wrong. You are stepping on the human right of reproduction which should not be allowed in a free society.

and those demographics will remain relative. our poor live better lives than the top 1% of the past, and in the future people will look back on us and consider us dirty and impoverished.
of course they do, or didn't you get the memo that we are all created equal. if that is the case, the obviously being stupid is a choice. otherwise everyone would be stupid.
I disagree that the poor live better than the top 1% of the past. Other than that, thumbsup.
as to the past...even the richest people in the 1700s didn't have air conditioning, refrigeration, running water, etc, etc, etc. so in that sense the poor do live better than the top 1% of the past.
Oh, so now geniuses are just as smart as the average joe?
yeah, some people are born with the potential to be smarter than others. but unless you are a retard (and in that case we should help them because it is not their fault) your level of effort usually defines how "smart" you become.
there is a difference between being retarded and being stupid.

I would love to see your depiction of the top 1% of 13th century Germany who had clean running water, indoor plumbing, air conditioning, automobiles, access to clean surgical care if necessary, and immunizations? for that matter, I would love to see your depiction of any top 1% prior to the 18th century who had anything approachinga child mortality rate as low as our poors'? then we'll talk about the likelihood of death from invasion by marauders (oh yes, violent death is way down, even among the poor - those freakonomics guys study the most interesting things), by plague, and so on and so forth.
