    I'm not saying to not look into and develop alternatives to oil but I'm sure as hell not going to waste time worrying about the possibility of oil running out in 50 to 100 years. There is quite a difference between the two....

    Ohh wait, one of the major alternatives to oil, being pushed, is actually causing some food shortages... hmmm that's weird.

    well the mayans predicted 12/21/2012 as the end of days, their calendar ends on that date. and there are other cultures that point to that date or at least that year as when it all goes to fire.

    oh well lol

    just do the best you can, be considerate to the earth and to each other and cherish every moment you have....that's all you can do, really.

    I am not predicitng anything. Just look at whats happening and you can see whats going on. Fuck we are running out of food! Do you know that in some countries they are actually running out of fucking food? Even natural grown ones b/c of the crazy weather that the earth has been having.

    there you go again, citing a problem of today and thinking that it is only a current problem.

    there has been poverty and famine everywhere and forever. I'm sure when The Year Without a Summer occurred, all of the people affected by it thought the world was ending. And all those Irish, when their potato crop went rotten, they also thought their world was ending.

    Hard times come and go. luckily, the human race has been able to overcome it and repopulate. Maybe next time we wont be so lucky ... but i like to think that there's always a chance for some real scrappers to survive.

    and if not, like i said, what better time to die then when we all die. :)

    I agree, I see myelf surviving through alot of shit. I just really worry about my daughter. LOL, I never thought about this shit until I had her. Now I fucking dream about martial law in America and having to fight to stay alive to protect her. LOL
    Hard to understand unless you have kids I guess.

    If I was single, then it wouldnot be so bad but to have so much love and worry for other people now....man its scary.
    .

    yeah, because single people have so much hate for other people (???).

    I am concerned about climate change, but as war and whatnot- while it's terrible it's been going on forever.

    lol. This stuff has been going on forever. It's just that now we have cable news to shove it down our throats all day long. ;)

    Turn off fox news and take your daughter outside to play for a while. You need some fresh air. :D

    Honestly I am scared.
    Floods, Huge fires, Global warming, food costs, Oil running out, everyone is at War. It goes on and on and on. This life on earth is really coming to an end sooner then you think. Its easy to ignore it and get all caught up in our own little lives but it really is a huge deal and I for one am scared for my wife and kids. If I was single, then it wouldnot be so bad but to have so much love and worry for other people now....man its scary.

    You do not need to believe in religon to know that something is happening that is a big fucking deal and very real.
    Meaning that this is all spelled out in the Bible whether you believe or not, it all seems to be happening like it said.

    there have been floods, fires, starvation, and war for as long as human beings were here. we just get news of it quicker now. the bible's got nothing to do with it. and life on earth will be just fine. maybe not human life, but so it goes. i'm not single and i still don't give a fuck.

    I'm worried that when Obama becomes Pres (yes, he's going to slaughter McCain), we will get attacked again. :(

    I obviously hope not though.

    no problem. im just jealous. i remember being so idealistic in college. now im just a cynic. dont let them get you too ;)

    i dont believe it's possible to ever get everyone to do anything. so a no-work day just isnt going to fly. people got bills to pay and the fear of losing a job is very real.

    Of our elaborate plans, the end
    Of everything that stands, the end
    No safety or surprise, the end
    Ill never look into your eyes...again

    Can you picture what will be
    So limitless and free
    Desperately in need...of some...strangers hand
    In a...desperate land

    Lost in a roman...wilderness of pain
    And all the children are insane
    All the children are insane
    Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

    Theres danger on the edge of town
    Ride the kings highway, baby
    Weird scenes inside the gold mine
    Ride the highway west, baby

    Ride the snake, ride the snake
    To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
    The snake is long, seven miles
    Ride the snake...hes old, and his skin is cold

    The west is the best
    The west is the best
    Get here, and well do the rest

    The blue bus is callin us
    The blue bus is callin us
    Driver, where you taken us

    The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
    He took a face from the ancient gallery
    And he walked on down the hall
    He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
    Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
    He walked on down the hall, and
    And he came to a door...and he looked inside
    Father, yes son, I want to kill you
    Mother...i want to...fuck you

    Cmon baby, take a chance with us
    Cmon baby, take a chance with us
    Cmon baby, take a chance with us
    And meet me at the back of the blue bus
    Doin a blue rock
    On a blue bus
    Doin a blue rock

    This is the end
    Beautiful friend
    This is the end
    My only friend, the end

    It hurts to set you free
    But youll never follow me
    The end of laughter and soft lies
    The end of nights we tried to die

    This is the end

    the goverment has ppl scared to go on a national strike..
    i vote yes to do it...and that's me working or not..

    when i drove a truck all those years this was the theory i was in then too..

    that's a fact..

    Well, good question. No, it's not necessarily too logical.

    I believe al Queda does not care what political party we have in power and will try to prove that.

    Bottom line: I think we have little defense against terrorism. That worries me. On top of that, everyone thought that after 9/11 we'd be struck again. But, that's not how terrorists work. They take their time and plan things out years/even decades in advance. I think we will be struck again and it's been planned out for some time. This would make for a logical time to do so. History repeats.

    Honestly I am scared.
    Floods, Huge fires, Global warming, food costs, Oil running out, everyone is at War. It goes on and on and on. This life on earth is really coming to an end sooner then you think. Its easy to ignore it and get all caught up in our own little lives but it really is a huge deal and I for one am scared for my wife and kids. If I was single, then it wouldnot be so bad but to have so much love and worry for other people now....man its scary.

    Meaning that this is all spelled out in the Bible whether you believe or not, it all seems to be happening like it said.



    while i think all these things are serious and important, i doubt the end of the world is anytime soon. ALL of these things have existed as problems since humans first started roaming the earth. such is the cycle of life.



    however, this is not to discount the effect we have on this world, like a free pass...we absolutely SHOULD be better stewards of this planet, it's inhabitants...each other.

    to me the global warming thing is really freaky,
    I was just talking about this with people from work,
    it doesn't get as cold in the winter as it used
    and it certainly doesn't snow as much

    and someone I work with said he needed a winter coat on a visit to Jamaica (the island) last year!

    I mean, it's weird. It doesn't seem right. If you have read the entire Bible and the parts about the plagues, it makes you wonder

    What you said about your wife and your kids is esp. poignant to me.

    I hope the world isn't coming to an end any time soon though, I'm not done yet! I want to have children.

    I however noticed there has been a exponential increase in the number of natural disasters this past year correleted directly to the climate changes of Earth which can not be stopped even if everyone on the planet tries to do their part.
