It's been dawning on me that we are at the start of the mythic Armageddon. With the bullies in the United States Government sowing seeds of future 'regime change' in Syria and Iran lately (even tho Iran was the only middle east country to stand with America after 9/11), it looks like the West and the Rest of the World are about to engage in a huge Holy War (whatever other name it may be given). I'm with the Rest of the World, and I'll do whatever I can when the time comes. If you look at it from the Moslem World's point of view, this is the next step in Western Imperialism, which has stretched back over half a millenium. The systematic rape and pillage of non-christian countries, normally under the guise of 'educating' or 'converting' the 'primitive people'. From South America to Africa to Asia, it's been a nonstop plundering of mineral wealth and enlslavement of the people - I call it genoslavery. Now the Middle East must be thinking 'they're coming after us now', and I don't think they'll take it if THe West invade another of their neighbours. They tolerated Afghanistan and Iraq, but I don't believe they'll tolerate another invasion. |

Can u imagine what the 2nd World War felt like? But I know what u mean... it does feel a bit like a Holy war is about to kick off, it doesn't help that Bush & Blair both call themselves Christians. But, hey I don't think this is the end of the world right yet... ;) |

I'd rather be at the onset of Ragnarok. Now THAT would be something to see. Hollywood producers, take note! |

Im not buying this whole armagedon thing. But there could be some nasty fights because America wants to be the superpower of the world. |

Some people (my mother included) seem to see the Moslems as gasbags -- all talk - and that they'll do nothing if the West decide to 'rid' the Middle East of 'evil'. If the West starts trying to take over the Middle East, I don't believe the Moslem World (and the other countries that the West has fucked over in the past) will sit by and idly watch. |

It's been dawning on me that I'm too stupid to post in this thread. |
||||||||

|

Probably not. But I doubt any of this will lead to "the end of the world". As long as Korea and some asian countries don't get involved I think it'll be pretty "low-key" like the iraq war. Not saying it was irrelevent because a lot of bad things happened and a lot of people died. But speaking on a general scale. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A low-key take over of the Middle East? That'll take some amazing brainwashing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wasn't the Iraq war sorta "low-key"? I mean a lot of people were suprised of how fast it was. There's a lot we didn't see... but I don't know. A lot of countries don't have the resources to fight America. But some do... and those are the ones Bush better stay away from or he'll get fucked in his tight lil ass. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It won't be individual countries tho - that's my point. I wouldn't say the Iraq 'war' was low-key - global condemnation protestation and outrage accompanied it. That will just rise and rise if they continue with their longterm plan and decide to try to take the rest of the middle east. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I guess... but that doesn't seem to matter much. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"A lot of countries don't have the resources to fight America." I think a many people still don't realise how simple it is to kill many people. Remember what happened with the WTC? (12 guys with plastic knives). And then there's virusses, etc.... :( |

well, we'll see about that. This is a crossroads in modern history - we can either enter the age of Horus and become an enlightened world, or we can enter the pages of 1984 and become even more zombified. I'm an upbeat fellow, and I'm pushing for the former. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"the age of Horus and become an enlightened world" Im hoping for this... Sorry Laserbeak I forgot about terrorists, you're right. Im a bit suprised there hasn't been that many in the US so far... I mean.. I sorta feel like something big is being planed.. maybe or maybe not. |
||||||||
|

I hate the word 'terrorist'. It should never be used. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What would you suggest? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there's lots of different types. Some so-called 'terrorists' are freedom-fighters. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
although I am also somewhat of the opinion the end is near... it should be noted that at the turn of every century, people ALWAYS think the end is near. Its an interesting occurance... I dont know why it is either... so, are we all just repeating history... or is there really just cause? Think about that carefully... |

Maybe this paranoia of something big being planned on America, is because the US of A actually has something to fear. After having dicked over every small country(and some big ones too) over the past few years, they know that their time too will come. I just pray that the ones that do take revenge do it in moderation, because if every American had to pay for every sin committed by his government against other people, every American would have to face something a million times as bad as the WTC a million times over and over again. |

several ancient civilisations, independantly (which is THE crux of the matter) placed the end of the current age to be in 2012. The end of Ages is traditional bloody, and the way things stand at the moment, with the incredible tension and friction between East and West, that something big just HAS to happen soon. That's my inclination right now. This is the natural conclusion to it all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
.. i dont fear the end of the world.. when it comes, you aint gonna stop it and if we go, we all go together... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I am not a pessimist. I feel that someday we will redeem ourselves and peace will prevail. Atleast, I hope it will. It would be frustrating to see something as promising as the human race self-destruct into pettiness. And illogical (and consequently unnatural, as nature is logical) to boot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't care if we all get blown apart. But while we're alive here, I care. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Freedom fighters" .. you mean Hypocrites? Still makes them terrorists if they do harm. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think America makes me paranoid by their stuped orange terrorist alert scale. They wnat everyone to think that they might be blown up by terrorists so they go out and consume duct tape and bottled water... it's good for the economy. Im not scared, I don't live in the US... Im not sure if I would be if I did... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Well it wouldn't be the end of the world.. just the end of the human race and a lot of innocent species of animals and plants. It'd have to be from nuclear weapons, big ones... a-bombs to distroy all of us. I just don't see any country doing that , atleast not yet... there's still lots of power to have. but if it did, they'd be another form of life, probably, after us... which might be better. I wish I could see how the world would evolve after humans.. that'd be soo interesting. |
||||||||

|
|
01) I did not call all so-called 'terrorists' freedom-fighters. 02) why is being a freedom-fighter hypocritical? do you define terrorism as someone who does harm? in which case, we're ALL terrorists. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
First I didn't say you called all terrorists freedom fighters. It's hypocritical because they fight for freedom by removing other people's freedoms. Second, I meant cause harm as in do terrorist acts. Not just harm in general. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Phew, an armageddon couldn't come soon enough. I'm tired of this 'living' shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they fight for THEIR freedom. there's a difference. If the oppressors have organised it in such a way that innocent people may be slain so the oppressed may gain their freedom, then so be it. That's how it has to be. Don't blame the freedom fighter's - blame the Oppressors. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sorry, but to me they're just as bad. Just because their freedom is taken away doesn't give them the right to take others away as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I blame both. the opressors as well as these so called "freedom-fighters". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, have you come up with some miraculous peaceful way for the Physically Oppressed people to gain their freedom? I think you should advertise it to the world so everything suddenly heals. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the fact that ancient civilizations predicted the end of the world, means nothing to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm assuming you know nothing about them then. I'm not being mean btw. I think you should read up on them - it will hopefully blow your mind. I didn't mean that it in a mean way either! :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, unfortunately I'm going to live to a ripe old age. Although the prospect of watching a nuclear war from afar, or even CLOSEBY, has always interested me. I don't want to die without seeing a mushroom cloud or three. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have read a bit about them... but I really just dont beleive that they could have accuartely predicted the end of the world... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the only way ill be convinced is when, in 2012, the world ends but then I wouldnt realize it unless it wasnt immediate... and I wasnt the first one to go... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no no, it's not THE end of the world... btw, considering their staggering cultural and scientific advancement, I believe it's proper to treat them seriously. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, if you truely beleive them 1. what do you plan to do with the next 8 years of your life and 2. I would be interested in links to read about them. But I just really dont believe in fate or destiny... and thats what you're talking about. When someone predicts the future, its assuming its destined to happen. I dont believe in predeterminism |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm studying shaolin kungfu and survival. I'm attempting to cram as much knowledge as I can in the next 8 years. Predeterminism doesn't naturally mean EVERYTHING is predetermined - it can just be certain things. who knows though. We'll find out when we find out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so, its not like, end of all life its just the destruction of the modern world? if I truely believed the world to be ending in 8 years, I wouldnt be hanging out on MB's. No offence. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"no no, it's not THE end of the world..." So.. A end of the world then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm a survivalist too, despite the fact I don't think the world will end soon, I accept that there is a chance and have made small preperations. I even have my eye on a potential place to live in the event of bioterrorism... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I'm here because I'm waiting for my Immigrant Visa to get to Arizona. My life has been on hold for two years. And anyways, it's not a big deal to me - I'm not attached to anything Western; not money, cars, clothes, houses &tc. So if it kicks off in 2012, I'll have my shaoling and survivalist skills if I need them, and won't be crying because my gucci handbag was gone :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep, the wide open spaces and comparativly light population density of America are certainly attractive from a survival point of view. Not mention the fact you can get firearms easily out there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:'( I love my gucci handbag *strokes it lovingly* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
especially where i'm from! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hell yeah - first thing I'm gonna do is buy a gun and learn to fire it well. I'm a pacifist ideally, but these sure as hell ain't peaceful times. Action is needed |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, in case all hell does break loose, i have a compound bow w/ arrows in my bedroom closet, as well as a couple of 12-gauge shotguns laying in cases out in my garage. very easily accessible. they are hunting weapons, of course. i shall be a black belt in whichever martial art i pursue by then as well. ;) |
