Greatest fear for the future?
« on: April 26, 2012, 09:22:12 pm »
My greatest fear is nuclear war. Nuclear power is so scary to me. In my mind, it is the most extreme form of warfare that will just wipe you out immediatelly. I mean, have you seen the tests of nuclear bombs? Watch them closely, they change the freaking atmosphere when they go off! First, the blast will turn you in to carbon instantly if you are anywhere near ground zero and the shockwave instantly destroys everything in its path. Second, the heat will burn you severely and if you manage survive that, you have to deal with the invisible fallout and die a slow painfull death. Radiation is particularly nasty, because it changes your DNA, which to me is pretty extreme. Dont get me wrong, we have come a long way with Nuclear usage for good reasons, but we are always balancing between the good and the bad uses of it. It bothers me, because once it gets going, you can't stop it. You can't change it once it leaks, and it can take out civilizations in the right hands-or the wrong hands.

Right now I'm graduating from college and my greatest fear is that I would have the life that I want or be able to achieve the thing I want to do.

Anticipating season 3 of Walking Dead in October too, are you?
One can lead a horse to water however, if one holds the horse's head under, that horse will drown.

A one-world government is my greatest fear. I hope I'm wrong, but it looks like we're heading that way.

Combining the two - zombies running a one-world government while everyone else fights for survival?

Don't forget those dreaded zombies with nuclear weapons running a one-world government either...they are the nastiest I hear.
There are only 10 types of people in the world:  those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Okay then, how about a one-world government of theocratic zombies armed with nuclear weapons And having bad breath to boot?

That is my biggest fear, also. We are heading there very fast, especially with 4 more years of a President who doesn't care about American sovereignty. Why do you think there is so much talk about diversity, and why non-Americans have more rights than Americans do? It's to get us used to not having any culture or country. The North American Union will be the final catalyst, the final destruction of America as a nation.

I guess my greatest fear for the future would be humanity caving in on itself. Things are moving faster and faster in the world of technology (and therefore warfare). All it takes is for something powerful to fall into the wrong hands.  :dontknow:

Neither, a study of history. It is true that history repeats itself, and Americans today are saying exactly what the Chinese said before the Communists took over there. While you're worried about "zombies," which are mythical and have no basis in fact, the powers that already rule the world are slowly turning this country and the rest of the world into a slave empire.

It is true that history repeats itself ...

Actually, it's more accurate, (factually), to assert that some historical patterns generally repeat.

... and Americans today are saying exactly what the Chinese said before the Communists took over there.

You have side-by-side references for this claim so that comparisons can be independently discerned or, are you inherently implying that I take your word for it as a matter of 'faith'?

While you're worried about "zombies," which are mythical and have no basis in fact ...

I could point out some Haitian voudoun practices having misinterpreted results however, the original observation was a euphemism for religious adherents.

the powers that already rule the world are slowly turning this country and the rest of the world into a slave empire.

What are you suggesting by that vague claim; the "Illuminati", "Bilderberger", a de facto theocracy, a nebulous corporate empire or what?
