Re: WW III poll
If anyone wants to feel more depressed just remember that due to our failures at limiting carbon emissions we can pretty safely just "x" Africa and South Asia off the maps of the future. They're completely fucked.Mimi wrote:Yeah, and there's that.

Obviously the nuclear boogeyman has been with me since childhood, but it remains only a possibility, whereas the far-reaching effects of climate and the close of the oil age are going to have unavoidable effects on our way of life.

Plus, if the prediction models are correct, the collapse of the Gulf Stream is going to introduce to Europe the wonders of mean ass winters. Likewise, if you live in the northeast US and eastern Canada and the Maritimes, buy a snowblower.Flex wrote:If anyone wants to feel more depressed just remember that due to our failures at limiting carbon emissions we can pretty safely just "x" Africa and South Asia off the maps of the future.

Re: WW III poll
The biggest threat to World peace is undoubtedly the US with its arrogant, racist, inconsistent, double standard foreign policy. Add this to the fact that a large portion of the world views the US as terrorists in the same way that the US accuses others. Until the US gouvernment realises (or cares) about this the world is fucked.

But they had to do that to combat the last threat to all humanity. Long-term thinking in foreign policy is fag elitism; bumbling from one self-made crisis to the next is muscular. Also, it's vital not to bother knowing the difference between Sunni and Shia Islam—that way you can talk with great confidence about how al qaeda is operating under the aegis of Iran, even tho the former is Sunni and the latter Shia, and the two sects hate each other. The massive ignorance about the basics of Islam—as basic as it gets—should be enough to disqualify these retards from positions of authority, but as long as they talk tough that's all that counts. Cos knowin' stuff is so elitist.

Yep. Which in the case of Iran and Israel would invoke WW III, I assume. Not that it would necessarily have to begin with nukes, but...Dr. Medulla wrote:What do mean by nuclear war?
