(OT) The end is almost here
According to many, the world will end this Friday, Dec 21.
So, last Friday we had this mass killing of children in Newtown CT. where 20 first grade children were killed along with 6 teachers, and the killer's own mother. Knowing we live in a world with such deranged people makes it much more apparent that the world will actually end. Not because of natural disasters, but more likely by mankind itself. Knowing that a person is capable of killing young kids, and his own mother, tells what kind of severely deranged people exist around us. Any person who is capable of such a horriffic murder, is also capable of pushing the button that will destroy all life on earth. Far too many times I've heard that even though we have all these nuclear missles capable of destroying the earth, that there is no one crazy enough to push the button, because that person would also perish. I disagree. The same type of person who could kill all these kids, would push that button without any thoughts or cares. Maybe the time has come........ In fact, after seeing what occurred in that CT school, I almost hope the world does end this coming Friday. Our society has fallen so far, that there is little hope of ever returning to the good ways. The entire world is nothing but corruption and dispair. Maybe the end of humanity is overdue. The world itself will likely continue, it's humanity that has gone to far, and can no longer be healed. Look around you. Most younger people no longer have any connection to the earth. The exist inside a bubble, and act like robots pushing buttons all day long, saying nothing for the bettement of society. They just push that "like button" over and over, when in fact they like nothing, because they have nothing left in life. Add to this the drugs and alcohol they consume to escape all the pain they feel, and it's no wonder that some of them snap and kill wihout any feelings or emotions. Our society has entered it's final days. We just continue to devour the earth for riches without love, compassion, or morals. It's all about competition and winning, winning the most wealth and power. No one stops and realizes that we will all end up owning nothing, and without any power when we depart this earth. On that final day, it wont matter who is the president, or how big our home is, or what position we hold in our careers. Nothing will matter. I had doubts about the end occuring this coming Friday, but now I'm not sure. After watching the events in these last few days, maybe this really is the end. Maybe it would be best for all of us, since a sudden end might be far less painful than watching our lives decay as the world around us turns uglier and uglier. It's apparent that our US gvernment is on the brink of collapse, and it seems our morals are on the same collision course. We have 5 days left, rather than fight it, knowing that there is nothing any one of us can do, I welcome the end with open arms. Bring it on....... it's time!!!! |

I suggest you read some history books for a change; in particular about The Middle Ages. |

Bill Hicks hit the nail on the head with this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5V9HylVb5I |

There was an episode on the "Dobie Gillis" TV show in the 1950s that also said the end was near. Maynard G. Crebs keeps saying the world is going to go "boom, boom, kerboom!" because of the Soviet Union and the Bomb, and he's all depressed about it until someone tells him that people were so distraut during World War I in 1918 that they thought the world was going to end then. No, the world will keep on going. Mankind is just fine, thank you. We have the lowest infectious disease rate in the history of humankind -- polio has been nearly wiped out, smallpox has been wiped out. Cholera is a thing of the past in most countries. People are living 15 years longer than they were in 1965. We have the information of the world at our fingertips, greater than the great library at Alexandria ever was. We're managing to conquer the ozone layer problem, according to the BBC Science Magazine. There are fewer wars around the world than at any time in our history. In short, WE'RE IN DAMNED GOOD SHAPE!!! |

Well, as a gay man I'm not contributing to the overpopulation. I live in California, and though we have 33 million people here there are still lots of areas that are as rural as anything you'd see in Wyoming. Yeah, 7 billion is a lot of people -- you hetero folks should be taught about BIRTH CONTROL. |

According to them everything is peachy keen, flowers and happiness...... Hell, I bet they even told you to ask your dog if he has any discomforts in his life, and he will answer you. Yes, those types do exist, in fact I had the misfortune of meeting one of them. (luckily only once). |

Apparently you've been listening to one of those "Prosperity" New Age type televangelists again. According to them everything is peachy keen, flowers and happiness...... I am wise enough to realize that I can't control much beyond 2 or 3 doors from my house. I can't fix the atrocities that happened in Connecticut or in Yemen or on the West Bank, but I can try to do the things I can around home. I am nice to people, kind to children and pets, and somehow I make it through this life happy. I do not engage cynicism, irony, sardonic comments, or any other such negativism. It works just fine for me. And no, I don't endorse the self-help gurus. I think all they do is keep local PBS stations alive at pledge time, and I'm not convinced that PBS stations should be kept alive. (NPR radio stations yes, PBS TV stations, no.) |

The real question is whether there was ever a CFC ozone problem in the first place. Plenty of evidence to show there was, but the banning of CFCs has had a demonstrable effect. |

If this was some religious whacko making the prediction, like that one last year, I would not even consider it. However, this time it's based on planetary alignments and the end of the Mayan calendar. We already saw a large earthquake occur in the ocean outside of Calif. last Friday as well as a very high increase in violent crimes. On top of that, the weather has been extreme in the last year or more. Some scientists have said that there could be a complete reversal of the poles of the earth. That alone will destroy all our electrrical and electronic equipment. Granted, we can survive without that stuff, but what will it do to our bodies and the ocean tides, and land masses, and future crops, etc. If scientists are saying this is possible, it's time to take it seriously. This time it's not just some religious fanatic talking ****. I'm not saying it WILL happen, but I'm not doubting it either. There are people buying all kinds of survival goods in preparation. I'm not doing anything except making peace with those I love, and telling everyone that I wish them well if it occurs. I'm not afraid to die. I've lived a long life and dont care anymore. The way the world is going, maybe it would be the best, so we dont have to see anymore children being gunned down in their schools. If it happens, I just hope it happens real fast and dontr leave people suffering. I wish you all well, no matter what happens! |

I've long doubted the causation. There is chlorine in CFC, and there is an
ozone hole. Doesn't mean that A caused B. There is a McDonalds restaurant in New York City. There are homeless people in NYC. Therefore, the McDonalds causes homelessness. Christopher A.

Hey, I've got four days to let the freon out of my refrigerator.
Should I do it all at once, or a little at a time? Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. You make it sound like the world stopped making R12 and R22. The US and some other western countries did but China built about a half billion R12 refrigerators and the 3d world was awash with Freon throughout the ban years. ... and the ozone still got better. Proving it was all America's fault. You surprised??? |
