It's because of Obama.

[DjfunkmasterG]

that is a 100 years from now... I am almost 40, no kids... that I know of, and no emotional connection to anyone.... so fuck it... let it burn. :elol:

[Danny]

bollocks.

at 95 years old im chalking this up to the "how terrible it is compared ot my day" thinking. -or like the astronaut who claimed the moon landings where all fake when he got old and "tired of it".

I cannot see man being wiped out by global warming. we've survived by dwindling to thousands before, i doubt all the billions of us will be gone in 100 years.

If we made it through the 20th century, we'll make it through this one.

[BillyRay]

Of course he's already got a survival strategy. Look at the title of the article!



Our own extinction is forecast, but he's going by dead reckoning


Granted, it's more of a Land strategy, but at least we got a solid answer about what happened to the vehicle!

:thumbsup:

I agree.

The present day realities & challenges of life in the 21st century are such that this guy can't figure how we'll make it.

Are there risks of extinction? Always.

Are there serious concerns we need to face? Sure.

Doesn't mean this tired old dude is right? It probably just means he's tired and old.

:lol: I guess the rest of us will have to pile into the Winnebago.

So far predicting the end of the world has had a 100% failure rate, I guess the odds are not really in his favour...

[thxleo]

It's because of Obama.

Idiotic reply. I guess that was a lame attempt at humor?

[Danny]

It's because of Obama.

WRONG. its because of Reagan.

[bassman]

There's always someone, somewhere out there saying we're on the eve of armageddon. It hasn't happened yet and I won't believe it until it does...

[Marie]

It's possible I suppose, but the law of averages says not likely. I agree with the people that say he's seeing his exit approach and like most if not all of us, cannot imagine the world without him in it. But we are survivors

With one little post I brought this muvva fucka doooown.:lol:

[AcesandEights]

You and Arcades are actually two of my most favorite posters here, it's a shame that the two of you don't post more often. Now maybe the left-leaning folk will come after me with the Rhodes award in December for having similar views to you. :sneaky:

j.p.

I come from a different perspective, thxleo and Arcades both seem like decent enough guys to have calm conversation with, but don't always seem interested in it. They often do drive by posting to rile people up for their own reasons.

DJ does the same thing, but--from what I've seen, anyway--usually only with people he doesn't like and will not go to the trouble to start a thread for the express purpose of pissing people off with hot button zero sum premises/arguments (to my knowledge). Now, as far as the rest of us are concerned, most of us will get a little raw at some point when we think everyone else in a thread is oblivious to the practical matters on the 'other side of the coin' in a given argument. Pretty natural.

With regards to Arcades, he has always seemed to me to be a contrarian reactionary who definitely likes to shake things up in favor of a world view that he is more comfortable with; a traditional world view he perceives as being questioned in a frivolous fashion. For some time I have felt you are like him in certain respects, JP, but you seem to be not as pissed off and are way more open to conversation--you've definitely not given up on dialog with people of opposing viewpoints.

Anyway, shaking things up amongst those we disagree with is fine to an extent, we all do it. I, for example, have no patience for polarized (left/right debates or partisanship, though I often poke fun at various camps), but generally I prefer people do things to foster conversation with those they disagree with, as opposed to just sticking a thumb in their eye.

No big deal, really. It's just when it becomes the regular behavior of a person, and they don't seem interested in conversation but instead they just soak up hostility like it's the only reason they're here, well that makes me wary.

[ProfessorChaos]

well, if monkeys are figuring out how to waterski, i think the extermination of humans can't be much farther down on their list...so i guess we are getting back on track here.

[JDFP]

Just out of curiosity, what does the winner get when they do win though? Is there a hpotd.com belt?


I've never gotten an HPotD belt for all the multitudes of arguments I've won against my buddy, Los. This stinks. I should get a belt too. :rant:

This thread reminds me of the plane scene in Almost Famous. The plane is spiraling to the ground while everyone bitches at each other about the past.

Soon someone's going to shout "fuck it...IM GAY" and the thread will come to a grinding hault and feel uncomfortable...

I thought you liked Twilight?

It may be a hard thing to face....but that guy has probably already had more women than we can imagine. Bastard.:lol:

I will bet $5 that you at least popped half a chubby when ray showed up in casper. It's okay guy, optimus prime got me to sit through 2 movies with megan fox in, i cant judge.

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.

[darth los]

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.

[DubiousComforts]

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).

[ProfessorChaos]

holy fuck this is getting out of control! where's a mod when you need them?

*cough* bring back the Capn *cough*;)

wonder if this thread will be extinct in the next day?:lol:
