Will anything be left in this world in another 20 years?

[TripleAAA]

Hmmm...

USA--->Iraq/Afghanistan/Iran, etc etc

Israel ---> Palestine

North Korea ---> whoever wants a piece



Anyone else wanna add to the list?

Where do you think our world will be in 20 years if this continues?

 

[ruffilb]

I'm sure we'll still be playing the World Cup...

 

[Goosemaster]

I have a hunch that the two folks that live on Greenland will be eh O.K.

 

[imported_LoKe]

When was the first World War? Yeah, that was well over 20 years ago and we're still around.

 

[ThaGrandCow]

NK will be a non-issue in a few months. Either they'll back down or they'll turn into a puff of smoke and some pink mist.

You're right TrippleAAA, the world is ending! Assign all your worldly goods to me and I'll make your last days lavish.

We need to consult Morgan Freeman and create a plan as to not set off the Doom's Day device....

People love to think that the time they live in is the worst it's ever been, and long for the "good old days." I happen to think it's largely BS. There have been plenty of sh!tty times in World History and the world today is certainly better off than any number of other times.

I for one hope there's going to be a huge war and we annihilate ourselves.

 

[DainBramaged]

Hate has been around since humankind. We are still here.

 

[SlitheryDee]

Nope, because the fact that people draw this conclusion based on relatively few issues (lets say 3 just for fun) and have short memories in regards to world events definitely means that things have never been worse than they are right now.

The ability to kill large sums of people is much greater than it was in ancient times though. It's a little more difficult to kill people with a rock or sharpened stick versus a laser guided missile.

Violence hasnt increased in the world, our ability to see it has.

I'd disagree. Look at Nagasaki and Hiroshima, for example. But it depends on what you consider ancient times.

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

Wow... Nobody was asking this question 20 years ago.

20 years ago it was...

USA ---> USSR

Israel ---> Palestine (You can play that one back to the beginning of time)

AIDS ---> The whole planet



20 years from now... who knows. You could say that NK will implode but people have been saying that about Cuba for decades. Speaking of Cuba... Castro will be gone. I predict Cuba will be just another Carribbean vacation destination. So there's something to look forward to.

Yes, but you had things such as The Black Death kill between 1/3 and 2/3 of Europe.

 

[moshquerade]

is the hatred getting worse or is the hatred being reported more and more diligently therefore creating a sense of more hatred?

 

[FelixDeCat]

Dont be hatin. :laugh:

 

[RallyMaster]

we'll still be here...I'll still be sitting in front of my computer browsing ATOT.

Khan razed cities to the ground just to prove his point. The Romans used biological warfare to weaken their enemies. And this was thousands of years ago.
