How do Buddhists and others who believe in reincarnation explain the fact that more people are born than die?

Buddhists believe in six realms. The good relams are Human, where we are, and Deva, which is where "godly" beings are. The bad realms are animal, where all the animals are, the Asura realm (demigods), the Preta or hungry ghost realm, and, finally, the Naraka or hell realm. This is the realm where the people who have done terrible things are reincarnated. It is a woeful state and though a being only stays there for one lifetime, the shortest lasts as long as if you had a barrel of sesame seeds and only took out one every hundred years.
So, you take into account all of the beings in all of the realms and it is easy to see how even though more HUMANS are currently being born than humans dying, there are so many beings in other realms that reincarnation is totally plausible.

Do buddists have to be nice to people?
Buddhists (it is spelled wrong in the question) believe in the concepts of karma and reincarnation. Reincarnation means that after your body dies your soul can be reborn in another body. Karma means that your behavior in this life can affect the quality of your next life, or have even more immediate results in your present life. Therefore, Buddhists are generally kind to others because they want to have a better life themselves, either now or in their next incarnation.

Why do tibetans stick out their tongue?
It is meant as a traditional form of greeting or sign of respect. A story in the LA Times (http://articles.latimes.com/1997/nov/08/local/me-51420) explained it as a means of showing others that their tongue was pink and that they were trustworthy. Tibetan folklore tells a story of a malicious ruler that had a black tongue. As Buddhists, Tibetans believe in reincarnation. Sticking out your tongue signifies that you are an honest and decent person, innocent of evil deeds, and thus not the reincarnation of an evil tyrant.
What do people believe when people die in Buddhism?
The basis of Buddhism is that the person dies and is reborn. This continues until the person is enlightened at which point they can enter Nirvana a selfless state. Some people do not enter Nirvana to return to the cycle of death and rebirth to aid others in becoming enlightened. Non-Buddhists, such as Christians, believe that Buddhists die and go to the Christian hell for not becoming Christians. Non-Buddhists such as atheists, believe that when anybody dies they simply cease to exist.
