The end of the world is coming

[JackOfShadows]

With all those natural disasters and escalating hostilities, I fear it's only a matter of time till we're covered by tidal waves and nuclear fallout. What do you think?

[MoralLibertarian]

It's possible.

[JackOfShadows]

Doesn't it scare you?

[ProudDem0307]

Hell, if it didn't end in the 1960s, then I don't see why it would end now.

[RacistBassist]

who cares if theres the end of the world coming whats there to be scared of

[BFG-Nine-Thousand]

We've been on the brink of the apocolypse since 1953, since the Soviets got the bomb.

As for today, let's just hope Iran handles nuclear technology with some degree of maturity, or not at all.

[Politics]

Man, would those Jahovah's witnesses ever gloat if it did. Ugh.

[altanese-mistress]

The god Posiedon revealed to me in a dream that humans would die out in the next ice-age. As for the colonies on Mars? They'll be there in 30 years, and fail.

Seriously, though.... http://www.exitmundi.nl/

[Bloodyham]

I doubt it. Natural disasters like hurricanes and tidal waves have been happening for a while, along with political stand offs.

But there's always a chance I guess.

[MortifiedPenguins]

People have been saying this for the last two thousand years or more.

The end will come with the second coming of Christ.

It's a religious fundamentalist country. I wouldn't count on it.

The day I see Jesus smoking weed with Snoop Dogg and Satan eating sperm-filled pie, I'll believe you. Not likely.

True, but they have been far more severe since humans have been fucking up the air and water and everything else about this planet.
You screw with nature, and nature screws YOU!!!!

Well I'd just like to point out that YOUR country has been the only one so far that has used nuclear weapons so far ^^
So I'd just worry about GWB, not Putin. Or Mahmut Ahmadinedschad. I reallyreally hope you won't attack Iran.

Since this world is bound to die out eventually, yes you are correct. However, in terms of current times, no.

[Manikan]

The end of the world will most likely be 2012 but, it not then I don't think nature will kill humans I think humans will.

Fuck, I should pick a religion!! I don't want to die without any false hopes when the aliens invade Canada and destroy our planet to make colored pebbles for their giant space fish tanks.

Yes, because we used them in Korea, Vietnam, Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, and everywhere else we've experienced combat since WWII...........so obviously a conflict with Iran would result in nuclear war, good deduction.........

We've at least shown the maturity that we can fight a war and not use them, plus we haven't made any controversial comments about a country's existence or where it should be "re-located"..........

[MegalomaniacVirus]

Hello!

We all know the world will end 08-14-06 when my drivers license expires.

But seriously, if there's an end to the world we won't be able to predict it.

[Begoner]

Yes, since the use of tactical nuclear weapons against Iraq is being seriously considered. Quoting from http://www.newyorker..ticles/060417fa_fact

the lack of reliable intelligence leaves military planners, given the goal of totally destroying the sites, little choice but to consider the use of tactical nuclear weapons. “Every other option, in the view of the nuclear weaponeers, would leave a gap,” the former senior intelligence official said. “ ‘Decisive’ is the key word of the Air Force’s planning. It’s a tough decision. But we made it in Japan.”

And just so you can sleep better at night, he also said:

"nuclear planners go through extensive training and learn the technical details of damage and fallout—we’re talking about mushroom clouds, radiation, mass casualties, and contamination over years. This is not an underground nuclear test, where all you see is the earth raised a little bit. These politicians don’t have a clue, and whenever anybody tries to get it out”—remove the nuclear option—“they’re shouted down.”

APOCALYPSE NOW!

Every generation has its major disasters, and were no exception.

[Nylo]

There are a lot more natural disasters occuring. People don't really tend to care until the get a big slap in the face, though. It's just human nature. Yellowstone would have to blow and knock out half the country, or the guy who all of a sudden brought peace to isreal would have to turn the oceans to blood.

Then you get the obligatory: Why weren't we warned!??

[Imperator]

One article in the New Yorker proves nothing. Got more evidence we're 2 stones away from nuke fallout in Iraq and Iran?

[Me-Patch]

Maiyan calender said December 2016. And there is a lot of evidence in the Maiyan world that they were in contact with Aliens or at least what they thought were Gods that flew in spaceships. paintings, ancient writtings, etc serve as evidence.

If I had to choose one doomsday Id'e say that one.

And Silvia browne, famous psycic says that alot of natural disasters will occur in 2020, and everyone will worry about the end of the world, but, i doubt anyone is going to beleive her either, dispite how many times she's been right before.

And I say that there going to a giant Space Hamster in 2020, does it mean It will happen.

Silvia Browne is a hack, pure and simple.

Exactly what I think about religions.

I've got a bit more practical question. Do you think any of us, citizens with no significant political power, can do anything about the natural disasters?
