...In your opinion.

There are a finite amount of resources on the planet. Unless we can learn to manage them, completely sustainabably, then the less people gobbling them up, the better. ....In my opinion.

There really isn't. Those who think that many resources are so finite are really just ignorant of how large the planet is and our current level of technology.

Wait. Just wait..... you actually believe that there are an INFINITE amount of resources on a little ball of rock and water hurtling itself through space/time?

I don't always argue with idiots on reddit, but when I do, I argue for good reason.

Infinite? No. Nowhere did I say infinite. But acting as if any of our elements are going to just run out is hilarious. The earth is huge, and anything making up even a fraction of a percentage of the crust is in huge abundance.

Also, very good job linking me to a Wikipedia page I'm not going to click on.
