Seriously. Do you believe we are close either to the end of days on earth or something like it?
Armageddon perhaps?
I curious to what people here seriously believe. Some say nothing will change. Some say its all over for the unknown soldier.
What say you?

Also if a nuke was sent inspace it would kill all tv, phone, internet etc...
So many possibilities. I never worried about these things till I had children. Now it concerns me.

All of that's been happening since recorded history. It will take more time to determine significant and lasting intensity in storms. All we know is that the Sun will consume the Earth in how ever many millions of years. Anyone who says otherwise is selling product ($$).
The stuff that lives in and around deep sea vents don't pay much attention to what happens on the planet's surface.
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
Are these REALLY the WORST Of Times?
I don't think so... here's why:
I think it was worse times during WWII. Hitler was the anti-Christ, the advent and usage of the Atom Bomb... pretty scary shit...
and before that, 'The War to End all Wars' that introduced us to aerial warfare now dropped bombs on us from above... and use of chemical weapons... and tanks and expanded use of machine guns.
and not just war... what about the Spanish Flu that killed hundreds of thousands. I'm sure that famine brought out the Biblical Phrophecy nuts.
What about the Black Plague that hit Europe, centuries ago? Wasn't THAT a Four Horsemanlike plague that should have brought Jesus back to us?
...
So, at least to me, these days are nothing like the days of tribulation that many past generations have had to face. All i know is that we live in a hostile, natural environment where an asteroid collision is in our future... or that our planet's core engine will cool to the point where Earth becomes a lifeless rock in space.
I'm not worrying about stuff that was spoken, then written by men who believed the Sun rotated around the Earth. They didn't know any more than we do about the end except that it will happen... some day. I ain't losing sleep about it... it's life. And in life, death is an acceptable fact of life... be it you or me or my cat or the planets or our Sun... at some point, we will all die.
So, live life while you can.
Hail, Hail!!!

'Rapture' Pastor Harold Camping Hospitalized After Stroke
SAN FRANCISCO – The California radio preacher who predicted the world would end last month was recuperating Monday after suffering a mild stroke, his family and colleagues said.
Doctors have been monitoring the progress of 89-year-old radio host Harold Camping since he was taken by ambulance from his Alameda home on Thursday.
"He is presently recuperating in a local hospital and the doctors are pleased with his progress," Family Radio's special projects coordinator Michael Garcia said. "Mr. Camping's family appreciates your thoughts and prayers."
Camping's daughter, Susan Espinoza, said her father was recovering but had not been doing his regular live broadcasts from the threadbare headquarters of Family Radio International, near the Oakland airport.
"He's doing quite well," said Espinoza, who works at her father's network. "We haven't made a decision on what will happen with the radio broadcasts but for now they are playing recorded programs."
Camping's media empire spent millions of dollars-- some of it from donations made by followers -- publicizing the evangelist's Rapture prediction over the past seven years.
When the apocalypse failed to occur on May 21, Camping was widely mocked and he called it "a very difficult time."
He has since insisted that his prediction was overall correct. On May 24 he clarified that a "spiritual" Judgment Day had begun three days earlier, placing the entire world under Christ's judgment, and said the Earth actually would be obliterated on Oct. 21.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
All the animals are going to be killed too, so you might as well go to the zoo and find out what Panda steak tastes like.
I am a little scared of an asteroid hitting the Earth and destroying all life. Apparently, astronomers only spot one in FIFTY asteroids coming anywhere near Earth just because of the unlimited space they have to look at. There are quite a few giant asteroids hurtling through space, and, of course, it's happened a time or two before in Earth's history. Not that I'm delusional and think it's likely, but it's certainly a possibility, no matter how remote... and I really don't want to witness the end of the world. The very first nightmare I ever had in my life was also the most vivid and impactful dream I ever had. I was 6, and I remember it like it was yesterday (and almost like it actually happened to me!). The world was ending, and we knew it would end at exactly 3pm. I guess the planet was imploding or something. Earthquakes and volcanos spewing lava all around us, etc. Anyway, at the end, me and my dad were sitting in his 1980 Honda Civic, watching the clock on the dashboard (back when clocks in cars had second hands!), and that second hand was just ticking towards 3pm while the world was blowing up around us... and a millisecond before it hit 3pm, I woke up.
Ever since that I've had a huge interest in the idea of the end of the world and related things, as well as a fear of it (basically a strong morbid fascination... a friend of mine once termed it my "apocalypse fetish"
it is written in time yet time does not exist.
Many have seen and wrote, still see and write.
This our journey, pick the right path and listen.
Not sure where december 21st came from given it has nothing to do with the winter solstice nor any position of celestial objects.
BINGO!!!
It is all going to come to an end some day... and we will have become long extinct before it happens.
...
The irony of the great history of Mankind will most likely be the painting we left in caves in the Mesolithic Age. Nature will have wiped clean all of our markings... and all written and recorded history of our existance will be non-existant.
...
So... in the meantime... hoist a glass of ale in the air and raise a cheer to the here and now with your friends and lovers... 'cause in reality... that is the only real thing we have in life.
...
P.S. GO KINGS!!!
Hail, Hail!!!
Well said, Cosmo. Cheers!
I think in was in Alan Weisman's book The World Without Us that I read one of the last human made artifacts to go will be anything made of bronze. That and the cave paintings. Future visitors will think this place was inhabited by creatures that had a thing for ungulates and heavy metal.
