Humans are a virus. We will spread from planet to planet draining all the natural resources and moving on.

We are not a virus. That's ignorant to say. Virus aren't reallly alive nor dead, and on the opposite of them we can stop destroying our hosts.
 
Well the only way to stop destroying our host is to move back to the early stone-age (Paleolithic I think), when we were gatherers and hunters (in a way we were still destroying our host->earth)! :farmer:
 
I heartily recommend Last and First Men to everyone. It will give you a broader view.

Do you think, with all the wars and all the natural disasters, the human race will survive the 22nd century?

Not all humans suck,

with the help of people who really do care about the human future, and earth, I think we will definately improve ourselves vastly and go through well into the future,

those people who feel wars arnt nessesary, are probably more clear minded, more intellectual types... inventing new technologies for energy and so forth, so I think we have a great chance of being more peaceful,

but we cant keep living in fear of terrorisim, that wont help, we cant really afford to keep fighting our own kind if we want to better ourselves properly.
 
:naughty: I give humanity another 400 or so years until earth is real ****ed up, the humans will be ****ed if they don't manage to live elsewhere.
 
We need some sort of huge disaster to unite us all as the human race.

Like what happens in the movie Independence Day. :D

And we'll probably have colonized Mars and then to other solar systems.
In less than 100 years? I doubt it :) Not with the current attitude towards space exploration the world seems to have. Vulcans need to slap us in the face I say.

I think he was just doing a Matrix-quote :)

Mars is obviously the next step. All of the current superpowers has plans for it one way or another. I wouldn't be suprised if around 2020 things started picking up for the better.

perhaps, or to realise that we arnt alone in the universe, and our neibour's are watching over us ;)
 
Whats with this idea that discovering aliens would suddenly make us all think "hey, why do we fight? Lets be friends" or perhaps "Hey, why am I annoyed at that guy for dropping a bomb on my house, killing my whole family?"

Finding out aliens exist won't make us all shout "hurrah" and become friends. Fancifal ideas like that are why we don't really sort out out troubles. 'Oh, its ok one day something will happen to unite humanity, in the mean time I'm gonna play games'

Hollywood poisons the mind.

In my opinion, it would more likely result in chaos and world war. If many people can't even accept others with different skin colors, religious beliefs, or sexual orientation I highly doubt meeting an entirely new intelligent species would go very well.

i dunno, :P, creates a greater difference, racial wise alien's could make us rethink, about racisim, and if they can travel long distance , that's got to add for something with technology and all, there are account's where UFO's have disabled war heads.

I dunno, do we always have to think about the negative point's..? lol
 
We always have to think about realistic points :)

Be positive by all means, I'm just saying don't become unrealistic. Its a common way of thinking throughout humanity that basically "Someone else will sort it out" or "Its somebody elses problem" . This isnt even just a "western" thing, we all do it but "someone else" could be a god, aliens, natural occurences...Whatever.

I'm just saying, isntead of hoping that something happens that will sort out all our problems, why don't we actually do something.
 
We are going to go intergalactic, it's just a matter of time.

*cough*

Intergalactic refers to space or interaction between galaxies. The Andromed Galaxy is over two million lightyears away from us. One lightyear is over nine trillion kilometers. So that's two million * nine trillion kilometers.

I don't think we'll be going "intergalactic" any time soon.
 
None of you can say shi*. Absolutly nothing.


No one can tell the future and if you believe in the Bible code you should be slapped. For all you know the world can end tommrow and everything around it or maybe another 100000 years from now.
 
Well, he did say it was just a matter of time and that doesn't i n itsself suggest "soon" :)

I think its obvious what he meant though. As for whether we will get a viable form of transport between solar systems, I just don't know really. We have all these ideas, but can we really implement them?
 
No

I know in 96 years, a squirrel will mutate and kill us all. Everything will taste like peanut butter from that day.
 
Wow, i got as much of "No" that "I don't care, you're an idiot" for answer.
 
As we get more high-tech devices developed, we'll be able to do more better and advanced research and make even better technology, and with that, we'll make even more better technology.
Our technology advancing rate may get faster and faster.
 
It all depends what we do in the next ten years...if we don't change a lot of our ways, we're doomed!
