The future

We wont over populate yanny, you dont have to worry about that. We will get into another war, or have a pandemic of TB or something.

I think the youth movement in Canadawill conflict with the US…and they are next door.

I think you mean epidemic. Sorry, I usually try to ignore the spelling on these forums, but pandemic?
And Yanny, I don’t think we have 100 years, but I also don’t think we will go extinct. We will likely make nearly every other species on the planet extinct, but I’d say that a small percentage of humans will survive to trash the earth some more.

The whole world be destroyed? is that possible? it seems like a fear we had throughout history…somewhere along the line someone has to say “the crap stops here.”

The US has enough Nuclear bombers in it’s arsenal to destroy the world many times over.

no kiddng…but here’s my theory. nuclear weapons will never be used to kill off the world. why? because people have nukes as a deturrent, for power. if you kill everyone, the rich and powerful will be no more.

Or, some crazy autocrat seizes power in one of those countries and unleashes a nuclear war.

"Or, some crazy autocrat seizes power in one of those countries and unleashes a nuclear war. "

Like Saddam “So Damn Insane” Hussein?

He would be some lesser example. But, look at Russia. A revolution could happen there. Some crazy guy (or maybe some guy with good intentions) could take power, and start blowing up small countries with Russia’s still formitable nuclear arsenal.

a comet could hit us too! in 900 years i believe.

In fact in the year 2005, NASA will be blowing up a comet for “research.” I found some info on that comet, and it qualifies as a planet killer…cover up?

No, I meant pandemic. Epidemic is a spread of a disease in a large area, a pandemic is a spread of a disease around the world, like influenza in the early 1900s

oh yeah! LAtin roots are useful! Pan means “all.”

There is no force on in this world that could destroy the Earth itself. Save maybe a Deathstar, the closest thing to devastation is cracking the Earths crust and making it inhabitable.

Well, the earth could be standing but every living thing would die after a comet hit the earth!

Aren’t there enough nukes to vaporize the moon?

Probably :wink:

but maybe that was a cold war statistic…but China, Israel, Iraq, India, and PAkistan balance it out :grin:

Gul’dan:
I stand corrected. Thanks for the enlightenment. I apologize for my arrogance.

pandemic is indeed the correct word

Look it up in a dictionary.
