Ashotep Posted September 15, 2012 #26 Share Posted September 15, 2012 If life ends as we know it I think we can blame overpopulation. Religious nuts wanting it to end and wars, lack of food and clean water. I don't think this planet can support many more people. The people having 6 kids needs to stop, they are a big threat to our way of life. Yet some in politics think no abortion for no reason or that you shouldn't take birth control pills, morning after pills. Some in the world with multiple wives have 30 or more kids. That's just stupid. If your going to keep having kids like modern medicine don't exist maybe it shouldn't exist for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ufonuts Posted September 16, 2012 #27 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Oh, how I wish it was not true, but the sad truth is something bad will happen around this time, that will kill off at least 90% of the worlds Human population!

Hawken Posted September 16, 2012 #28 Share Posted September 16, 2012 People have been predicting the end for a very long time and nothing has become of it. Take for example, The Great Disappointment back in the mid 1800's. A christian sect called the Millerites led by William Miller predicted the end October 22, 1844. Some followers even Purchased white ascension robes for the event. What I find interesting is the robes were Purchased and not given to the followers by Miller.

Xanthurion2 Posted September 16, 2012 #32 Share Posted September 16, 2012 nothing is going to happen. the world will go on as it always has and always will until the humans finally destroy it or drain every last resource this world has to offer. then the rich move on to a new planet if there is a planet capable of sustaining human life and we have discovered it by then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinxdom Posted September 16, 2012 #34 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I actually kind of want it to happen and survive just to see who the other survivors would blame for being wrong but even then it isn't gonna happen. If I do hear REM it's the end of the world more then 10 times in the next few months and I happen to get near the red button.... I may just make it happen to stop hearing that song though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Occams Razor Posted September 16, 2012 #35 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Nope, not a chance. I'll be buying Xmas cards as usual. The future can't be "predicted" by the Mayans or anyone else. Or there would be an awful lot of "psychics" retiring early on their lotto winnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+and-then Posted September 16, 2012 #37 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I do not think the "world is going to end", but I do think that some sort of planetary or cosmic event will happen, and yes that some sort of "new age" will begin. If a planetary or cosmic event happens, the odds are it will gravely effect our infrastructure. Time will tell. BR I think WE are the event. We as a species can't get along and eventually some fool is going to make things go bang in a very big way. To the tune of about 2/3 of the world's population. There may also be a meteorite or something but primarily I think it'll be war, disease and starvation - just like it's been down the centuries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom_boom Posted September 16, 2012 #38 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Yeah its just a pattern of self destruction that has plagued us since the dawn of man. I think us Humans as a race are currently at a cross roads where it is either going to change for the worse or for the better. People are more connected than ever and a call for change has never been more prevalent. Its happening everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasina Posted September 16, 2012 #39 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Every generation thinks they're the 'special' ones. Either we're doomed, going to get better, etc. The natural way of things is just going to continue, strife between people, religions converting people and fighting their own wars against the others and the secular and atheistic world. There just seems to be a pattern of expansion of these things. There is no 'better' or 'worse' in this, it's human nature and the world we've built ourselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just stupid. If your going to keep having kids like modern medicine don't exist maybe it shouldn't exist for you. Hi Krone, I just wanted to say that there is more to it than people having 6 kids 'like modern medicine doesn't exist' - unless of course you are referring to those stereotypical 'white trash' western families. In countries where families still have a dozen kids, it almost always happens because the man forbids his wife to use birth control and because she is forbidden to say no to having sex, by religious or political laws. Ergo we have Eco-feminism, which posits that the establishment of equal rights for women in all countries would greatly help the environment. And of course that's true, it's bleeding common sense if you ask me. I'm always amazed at those big ole' white trash families too, but they're a drop in the ocean compared to what's happening in India. But maybe you already know all this and if that's the case, apologies for patronizing you :-) I'd just hate to see start people calling for denying pregnant women their rights to medical treatment, just because they're married to a backwards patriarch whose backwards attitudes are backed up by his country's a-hole leaders. If anything its the men in those societies that should be getting the snip! Edited September 16, 2012 by krone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synchronomy Posted September 16, 2012 #41 Share Posted September 16, 2012 People are living a lot longer. A couple of hundred years ago if you made it to 50 you were very old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Order66 Posted September 16, 2012 #42 Share Posted September 16, 2012 People are living a lot longer. A couple of hundred years ago if you made it to 50 you were very old. The time period is the same, but time passes more slowly for us because the universe has been expanding. 50 years to us would equate to hundreds of years for them.

Jeremiah65 Posted September 16, 2012 #47 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I'm still convinced that our problems are just too many people. We get in each others way, we get into each others private business. We need a good "thinning" of the herd so to speak. I know that sounds pretty harsh, but I have pondered on this many times and always come to the same conclusion...there are too many of us. I said in my first post that I think the world is capable of ridding itself of us and I believe that is true. We will dig one foot too deep, cut down just one too many trees....or something...and the planet will recoil and lash out....maybe a virus held dormant in an ancient tree somewhere...cut it down and release it...sad part is, when there is a "thinning" of the herds, it usually takes a lot more in number than is needed... We almost checked out about 70,000 years ago when Toba blew...they say the genetic bottleneck shows that we dropped to less than 10,000 people on the whole planet....if that were to happen today...the loss of life is unimaginable.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highdesert50 Posted September 16, 2012 #48 Share Posted September 16, 2012 These doomsday prophecies are simply attempts to find meaning in time and event. This of course leads to the obvious desire to start anew because life appears to be out of control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, where did you hear that? Space between galaxies is expanding. Time is not changing for us. Fifty years 200 years ago is same as fifty years now.
