When the Who said they hope they die before they get old, we could have satisfied their wishes and killed them around Who's Next.

I haven't read this, but it sounds thought provoking:

What kind of population control? The bullet kind? The nuclear kind? Or the garden variety disease and famine kind?
you forgot the intelligent, responsible kind.
you know. the one where you actually think about what the hell you're doing.
where you intentionally plan to have a kid or plan not to, and decidedly do everything you can to avoid having more (twins, triplets, quads,... happen of course, but that's a slightly different issue).
"...below the rate required to maintaining a stable population" in an over populated region is a discussion for idiots.
...and watch out for the flying meat!

I look forward to a bunch of half asians walking around...

While I get the impression you are joking, the fact is that half-breeds are very often healthier, and damn well sexier, than "pure breds". Take a look at the brits for a perfect example.
That's why I just don't understand all of the racist crap when it comes to dating. We should WELCOME mixed couples as ushering in a new generation of hotties. As a result, I am a firm believer in the principle of world peace through smurfing. I firmly believe the Earth will be a better place when everyone is light brown, the women enjoy D-cups, and men are sporting something to be proud of.
