2012 - The End... or is it?
No, not the movie. Although it was a good movie...
Anyways, thread says it all.
While personally I do not believe in the end of the world by the end of 2012, I do think it's an interesting topic. With the Japanese natural disaster, war in Libya, escalating tensions in various other middle-eastern countries, and not to mention the ever increasing population and poverty of the world, because of the migrating businesses to other, cheaper locations (i.e. China), political corruption running rampant throughout the globe, the banking crashes, US debt, Euro crisis, and other things, it's only a wonder that we're still in one piece after this long.
If we aren't exterminated by a 3rd party, such as a galactic force (comets, asteroids, gamma rays, magical black holes appearing out of nowhere, Kyuubey, etc...), or even aliens at that, we might just do a good job at it by ourselves. With potable water running short, and with the state of current world affairs, I very much doubt that the leading governments will have the brains to invest in alternative means of attaining potable water, instead of waging war with other countries for it.
But I digress, this thread is made for your opinions on the matter, not to discuss about the current world affairs... Will we end ourselves, be overtaken by a 3rd force, will God descend on our puny rock and judge us all, will there be a horrible pandemic, killing billions, or will the technology we're creating at ever faster speeds overwhelm us in the end? What are your thoughts on the matter?
Also, all hail the mighty ancient ones! All hail our lord Cthulhu!!
