I think the point that a lack of birth control "threatens our future" is certainly debatable (subreplacement fertility seems rather the larger threat, IMO of course).
​
What planet are you on? On planet Earth, the human population is rapidly approaching 7 billion and the time it takes to double the population is decreasing. Your uninformed opinion means nothing and just shows your ignorance of reality.

One could make the case that all posts here are to some degree "no more than self-gratification", but the fact still is that the world wide human population is growing exponentially and shows no signs of slowing. Industrialized nations have seen a reduction in births, but still a net increase in population due to immigration. What "evidence" do you have that shows human depopulation?

You are correct but are quibbling. The world's population of people is currently growing at an alarming rate, not decreasing. The rate will eventually slow only when we run short food and water. Short of a nuclear war or a large asteroid impact the human population is in no danger of decreasing dramatically.
