Cpkt8 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Dare not even think about it. Seldom watch world news too- too much killings, natural disasters, etc. Makes me sad that this world has become so ugly. For me: take one step at a time. Don't think too much about the future.

I mean, do you never think it strange that every year it is someone from Earth that wins Miss Universe? Its true that they could be really fugly, and not that good at promotions, but can't see them being a threat. Happy New Year to one and all, and hope the events that will surely lead to the wipe-out of mankind (by our own hands) doesn't happen in the next few days.................

Youaredoomed Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I understand that the colonisation of other planets, such as the Moon, as well beneath the ocean as been researched in great depth for several decades. Thankfully given our nature for auto genocide of the species, or nature occasionally throwing the odd epidemic which wipes out vast swathes of the population, I can't see over population ever being a threat to the planet. Personally I hope to mutate into a half human/half venomous shark in case of a huge catastrophe. If it's a flood I'll be OK. If it's an Alien invasion, hideous plague or a meteor I can hide in my cave at the bottom of the sea, if its a Zombie apocalypse I can eat them before they eat me.

MaeJoMTB Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Crossy is way wrong! A Zombie apocalypse is almost certain. A few of us, extensively trained with swords and knives, will survive to combat the undead hoardes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogNo1 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I think that we will integrate new technological parts into our bodies to make it possible to emigrate to and survive on other planets. Probably not many people will have the resources to do this. The human race will probably survive but life on earth will probably be miserable for those left behind. Actually, this has already been imagined in many science fiction novels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will post the video and below it I will post a link to another video by him and his son Enjoy!!

zyphodb Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Well I see that no one seems to care I think that lots of us care, the problem is our total inability to do anything about it, while 90% of the world's population, for whatever reason & there are lots, Are not going to change their lifestyle, or start revolutions etc. The planet Earth is going to continue it's slide down the toilet whatever the 10% who realise (10% is being generous) or care do, is going to have no effect whatsoever apart from maybe giving themselves a spurious sense of moral superiority over their fellow human beings...

Happy New Year It's funny you should say that, as it has been repeatedly proven to be completely wrong. The world is swimming in resources. Predictions we would run out of food by year 2000 ..... completely wrong, more food being grown now than ever before, surplus everywhere (that can pay). Oil was going to run out by 2010 ....... so much oil around now prices have halved. I suspect the one thing that won't happen (in the foreseeable future) is shortages of resources.

Either that or nature will find a cure for overpopulation ,one we cannot cure . There is no overpopulation problem. The problem is the poor with no skills expecting the rich to feed and provide for them free of charge. Plenty of food for everyone, if only they could afford to buy it. Aggravated by American and UN military forces herding the poor from one country to another. It's a humanitarian dilemma, Option 1 Do you feed the poor and useless until they out-breed and overwhelm you? or Option 2 do you allow them to starve and die out (or kill them)?
