Class war, race war, generation war, religious war and war between genders will all outbreak while at the same time we're fighting against muzzies on multiple fronts.
That, my friends, is going to be tough shit.

i'd say that, though not completely uniform, for the most part people who are on one side of the class war are also on the same side of the generation war, gender war, religious war, etc.
it's not really that much of a multiple front war..

Just live your own life and allow others to live theirs. Class war (has always existed and probably always will), race war (is better now than it was in the past), generation war (this isn't even a war), religious war (religion is used as an exuse for war but isn't the reason) and war between genders (not a war at all). Stop getting so wound up by media coverage. Media sensationalism of events that have and always will exist isn't symbolic of the collapse of society.

i don't see us quite shipping of to hell in our handbasket yet... but i think there is something to be said for the fact that many societies are facing a pretty significant polar clash right now... it's probably true that media sensationalism has something to do with it... but it just so happens that the majority's perception of society is directly affected by this sensationalism, and is spurred on by it...

Most westerners I know (you know, the type who don't go on internet message boards) don't give a fuck about the media. A group of net geeks worrying over the collapse of society isn't going to make it happen. British tabloids...which are the only source of news for the vast majority of british people are more interested in whether David Beckham had his knob sucked by Rebecca Loos than prison abuse.

There are many differences between the different sons of man, but from the westerner steeped in decadence to the zealot martyr with a head full of lofty aims and a bomb strapped to his bollocks, all unite in the vision of one day waking up in a world and being able to say "I think I'll play that new Aphex album". Until that day dawns, bloodlust will prevail.

North American media always operates on political motives. That is the reason there are a lot of extremists on the continent.

After that, it will be a very long very unhealthy spiral downward for the rest of humanity. Hopefully something lik e nuclear war or nanotechnology will make it more abrupt and less painful. At least I won't be there, and at least no direct decendent from my genes will be there. Can you say the same? You don't have my support humanity. I've wanted you to lose for a very long time.

hmm.. you're a smart feller.
a gender war would be nice, like a real one with swords and guns. I'd participate. Maybe I'd join the female's team.
Hell yeah, olsen twin coverage is on the rise... they're on like 3 different magazine covers at the store. I'm glad I don't have any cable tv.

They'd/we'd find a reason. People were born to fire heat-seeking rockets at each other. It's sad to see all the fighting going on in the world, but I can't imagine it being any other way.
Humanity is always going to be fighting, but we're in this together until 2884, when the 1950DA asteroid is destined to crash into the Atlantic Ocean and own us. Look it up.

i think it is inevitable that we will destroy ourselves, unless there's some kind of intervention. it would be hard to argue that it is not in our nature given our known history.

How in the WORLD do websites/forums like that stay open? Isn't there anything some sort of authority can do? Or is it really perfectly legal until someone actually states ''I fucked little Billy?''. Christ.

Agree with all Ecnadniarb points except this casual dismissal of "generation war"
>generation war (this isn't even a war)
Of course, calling every kind of conflict or schism a war doesn't really help us understand anything (just another sad influence of the washington neoconservatives and their pervasive jargon... a war on terror anyone? wtf!). But I think the age issue may become much more significant in the developed world in the next 50 years:
birth rates and mortality rates dropping --> an increasingly aged population --> proportion of economically actives: dependents dropping (exacerbated by increasing numbers of people on long-term sick leave)
--> economic quagmire.
We may well be faced with a situation in which a country (eg. the UK), still too jaded with thatcherite individualism to realise that 40% is not a high enough top rate of income tax, has to make a choice between adequate education for the young and adequate provision and healthcare for the elderly.
This conflict will be coloured by class, as are all economic conflicts, cos you know it's not the CEO's son or elderly parents who are gonna feel the squeeze.
