A sense of forboding...

That thing would right **** the US up

It's not so hard to imagine that Al-Qaeda would get hold of a suitcase nuke and detonate it in London or NYC, and as technology develops the ease of access to doomsday devices is only going to increase.

To be honest, it's pretty unlikely that a terrorist organization will ever be able to get their hands on a "suitcase nuke". The more realistic threat comes from allowing nations that are sympathetic to terrorist organizations the ability to operate their own nuclear programs. To be honest, port security is a joke; it wouldn't be very hard to sneak a full sized nuclear device into a shipping container, put it on a transport ship and send it right into one of our major ports.

Having said that, the growing tension in the Middle East (due in no small part to our current foreign policy) not to mention the current situation with North Korea, Global Warming, Peak Oil, etc. does make it seem like something "big" is coming...

I get that feeling sometimes, but hey- what can you do? Here's what I'll do: keep having fun, and if anything DOES happen, meet up with Onwee and establish a republic of HL2.net on the east coast.

Word up mother****er.
 
With things going the way they have been for the last few years, I think it's pretty hard to imagine the world and its events going smoothly in the future, I can also see something big happening.
 
Or maybe we all feel pointless and insignificant in society, so we're desperate for something cataclysmic to make us important and give us meaning.

Past generations could talk of World Wars, Vietnam or the Cold War. Maybe we're jealous of our forefathers anti-achievements.
 
I support Peak Oil, way more likely to screw us over than anything else. See sig.
 
Traction cities are really the way to go.
 
I envision something out of the beginning of Stephen King's The Stand... A biological warfare agent that escapes containment. Like the quote from I am Legend,
"God didn't do this, man did"
 
I used to get the feeling all the time.

With age I ended up learning though, that no matter how bad things truly seem, history has shown that such situations almost always end up working themselves out. It's just a matter of how quickly a solution is reached.

If you speak in reference to unstoppable cataclysmic events like meteor impacts, then don't get yourself worked up about it. There's nothing you can do about it, no sense losing any sleep over it.

Prepare for unforseen consequences.


I still think famine is right up there. Millions of people (mostly children) die every year from malnutrition. One or two years with widespread bad harvests and things are going to get real nasty.

...unless Eejit the plant geneticist (in training) can rescue us! Gooooo Eejit!
 
lol Eejut the saviour :p

I reckon some kind of alien cancer will get us
 
I have a feeling something crazy will happen to the USA, causing us to drown in another civil war.
 
I'm going to start handing out infractions for people who keep on spamming that Alien Cancer picture.

It's not spam if it's a legitimate end-of-the-world concern.
 
But it is in pretty poor taste as some members of the forum have relations who have actual cancer.

Oh, geroffit. That incident went down ages ago, and besides, Smoke wasn't really that offended to begin with :hmph:
 
Well I got in on this late.

I would say it's probably the drugs in your system giving you that feeling, but I can't help but agree something grim is in the future.

Problem is, I don't know what.

This bothers me :|

I'm one of them. My dad died a year and a half ago due to terminal colon cancer. But I can still take a cancer joke.

Then again I can't speak for everyone, so I see your point even if alien cancer is awesome.

My uncle has leukemia. It's not exactly a joke a minute, you know.

I guess thats a subconcious reason why I haven't had my driving lessons yet, so I can rub that fact into peoples faces :p
 
Whenever I get really sick I wake up in the middle of the night and walk around and it feels like the world is going to end, and that I'm living my last day. Its a really creepy feeling.
 
Yes something horrible will definitely happen: it's been said that in about 5 billion years the world will end.

I would say you are entirely wrong and that's a kind of moronic thing to say. I'm not some cracked-out addict experiencing delusions and hallucinations in a state of deep amphetamine psychosis, I'm someone who likes to smoke occasionally and has had this feeling for longer than I have been doing so.

Dammit, you just HAD to take the bait...
 
Maybe on 12-12-12...nothing will happen.

I wonder how bad that would actually be.

I know.

And then on 12-21-2012 something DOES happen, just like the article states.

Wouldn't that be so ironic?

All I know is that there will be a Tokyo earthquake on the 14th of October. Don't know the year, but we still had newspapers.

Total economic collapse! Yay!
