swine flu bird flu sars anthrax 2000 Y2K mad cow they were ALL supposed to "extinguish" us. and none of them did. next up is 2012 which has been proven to be bullshit not counting two world wars, the creation and use of atomic bombs, power plant metldowns ect, ect. Theres plenty of things that could have killed us over the last century. -and much as everyone, myself included, thinks the world is going down a slippery slope its really not. people are more conscious of caring for the world around them than ever, not just "hippies", we have the technology to speak to a loved one on the other side of the planet and see each others faces. Theres been plenty of times where mid 20th century thinking of "just paved over it" would have resulted in widespread destruction in just the last ten years alone. If this man thinks mankinds toast then he IS stuck in the past and needs only look at the current oil spill to prove him wrong. They arent complaining about oil wasted, big money lost, but the environment, local jobs and lively hoods damaged by the impact of the damage to the environment. For all our xenophobic, selfish, greedy tendencies we help each other as much as we harm and with each year we focus more on taking care of the world around us. I imagine our kinds gonna go through shit times in the future, no matter how long that may be, its inevitable that the longer we have left the more likely something will happen, a meteor, a supervolcano. That doesnt mean its gonna take something short of something bloody spectacular to completely wipe us out. Where to bloody tenacious for that to happen. Bear in mind, every single doomsayer who says we are going to die are comfy people in 1st world countries, to most of them people in 3rd world countries have already lived through there nightmare scenarios as part of daily life. its why we live everywhere on the planet, we adapt to damn near any condition. For all our ipads, massaging chairs, cable tv, sports cars and such we had to live through millions of years of evolution to GET to where we are. I think some people forget that just because the idea of living without electricity is a goddam apocalypse for them.

but if it were between mother nature and us extiguishing ourselves my money is on that we will be the cause of our own demise.

You are afraid to call it for what it is because you're afraid to fall out of the good graces of Romero and Company. Whoa, back this thread way up for a second. What "good graces"? Do you know anything at all about George Romero, or are you new here? AFAIK, Lee has been open about his dislike for DIARY and that Romero, among other favorite directors, has "let him down" with his new works. Now which part of that did you misinterpret as "knob-slobbing"? My opinion: anyone that immediately assumes "ass-kisser" just because another person appears somewhat close to a famous personality should seriously examine his or her own shallowness. And everyone can also quit pretending this is about left vs. right. It simply boils down to a bunch of assholes that refuse to play nice together. Every message board on the Internet is like this so perhaps we can aspire to being more than just pedestrian and average (unless of course y'all actually are pedestrian and average).
