Because what we're seeing now is no more major than any of the supposed crisises that people throughout the ages have gone through. Each generation thinks that their generation was the harbinger of the apocalypse.

My speculation wasn't that whatever is happening is going to completely change life as we know it, but at least might have some significant effect, maybe as significant as the World Wars (which is likely a terrible exaggeration from my part, but you get the idea). I did consider what you said though, that there's a good chance that it's all gonna turn out meh like everything else usually does.

Your ass is screwed ;)

Care to elaborate? Is this regarding the elections? Not even the Middle East is definitely screwed. Like yeah there's a chance it does get screwed, but there's some hope. I doubt America would be actually screwed any time soon.

Sorry but did you actually give me a fucking chance to explain myself? My post earlier was referring to the elections. Sorry If I had to get up from my chair to go do something else. And I believe the term is "fearmongering", I'm neither of those things.

I think that if it really came down to an almost-apocalyptic scenario, most of the world would be forced to work together for their own survival. The combined power of all the major nations is enormous, and its hard to imagine a scenario that could lead to most/all of the first world collapsing.

Devour is correct, but we'll first go through a VERY ugly phase where its every man for himself before slowly organizing into a post-apocalyptic community.

a) Don't get your panties in a knot, we weren't even being serious.

b) Don't blame me for not giving you time to explain yourself. Its your fault that your post was such an ambiguously worded biting indictment.

c) Neither of what things? I only accused you of being ONE thing.

I think he got up to go do something else. Could be wrong though.

You still haven't explained yourself
