^^^ yea i heard that thats when their calendar ends. but people dont know how to interpret it. some believe it means the world will end then. some believe the world "as we know it" will end then. some think they just stopped their calendar there for another reason or no reason at all. if the world is gonna get hit and we're gonna die, i hope i have advanced warning so i can travel and blow all my cash and do some weird shit.
why do people feel they need to hate america, seriously?? the majority of americans do not agree with the government, and the leaders that represent it.... its much like any other country out there....... the only reason is that I guess america is more powerful, still, what would these countries be without mcdonalds, pizza hut and KFC??
I think if the comet blew up the Antarctica and arctic circle, we wouldn't have to worry about global warming. Problem solved.
Dont worry about the silly astroid. In 2008 we're supposed to be at the world's oil peak. Thats when the fun will begin.
I'm kinda past any end of the world stuff, seeing as how many times they've been wrong because.....we're still here.
precisely. or perhapse not so precisely, but that IS the general idea. we're liveing on assumptions of eternal supply of what are essentialy finite and limited resources, and petrolium reserves are certainly one of them. not just one but exceedingly dominant in the way of life america is still insanely insisting on foisting off on the rest of the planet. 'irrisistable force', permit me to introduce 'immovable object'. =^^= .../\...
yes. it's a very big universe out there. and the end of cheep oil won't be the end of anything other then a lot of familiar and erronious assumptions, but rather the begining of something very very good. eventualy. very much worth dreaming, speculating and roll playing about. which the "end" of "life, the univese, and everything" isn't. (and isn't scheduled for any time soon either) the human species is just as inanely, idioticly, egocentric collectively, as many of its members seem to be individualy. now what we're doing to the environemt, of which 'global warming' is either a symptom or a catch all summation, IS a real threat and one about which, collectively at least, we HAVE a REAL choice. one it may look at the moment like we're too bone headed to consider seriously or enough of us give the attention and priority it deserves. none the less a real choice, really in our collective hands and no where else. =^^= .../\...
well... it's mid november and there's no snow on the ground here... and this is alaska. i'd have to check up on it more, but i'd say it's a sign of something... everything is always on the verge of destruction...
sure sounds like an alagorical reference to our use of combustion to generate energy and propell transportations and a simple warning as to the direct natural consiquences of doing so. consiquences we are currently, if perhapse a wee bit less dramaticly, witnessing. not by the wrath of some annoyed diety, but directly by the work of our own collective shortsighted hands. great burning mountain? certainly many great burning mountain's worth of carbon being dumped into, indeed the oceans as well as the atmosphere. a third part of the creatures that were in the sea? have you seen the stats on decline of fisheries? more then a third part have already been lost. we DO still have collective choices, and these in turn being largely a statistical summation of our individual ones. =^^= .../\...
wasnt the world supposed to end may 5th 2005 at 5pm?? the spanish holiday "day of the dead" my school was in lockdown from 12-7 ON A FRIDAY
