Your vote for how the world will end...

Post by Iron Maiden »

So, What will it be. Given the current glabal situation, culturally, socially, politically, economicaly, how do you beleive the world will end? General votes are given, you may explain further in a post.

I persoanlly say it will go simialr to how Glenn beck puts it, basically with Isreal being forced to react, a corrupted world going after, the United States economy collapsing, stuff like that.

More specifically, I think our goverment, given the rock/hardplace position it has put itself in, will be forced to do a QE3, which will crush our economy due to inflation and thus render us bankrupt, easy pickings for our enemies. Due to our weakened position, Militant Islamist groups will star tlaunching raids, and attack Isreal en masse, forcing the rest of the world to react in some way, be it for better or worse.

In China, there is the possibility of a mass uprising given the Middle East situation will cause a major government crackdown, either resulting in goverment victory at great cost, or an overturn of their goverment into a Republic or some form of Democracy, though Republic is more likely. After, it is the land of "The Mandate of Heaven"

In the Middle East, as said above, eventually Isreal will have to act to the vast amount of attack that are likely to mount against them, resulting in them using great force to defeat the attackers, but the global impact, perhaps on oil will be even larger.

Anyways, its late, and I have other things to do then continue a long rant about the end of days. My beleif in how the world will go is also optimistically illistrated in the beginning to the back story of my book, so that is worth a readthrough if you have not done so already. ;)

Glenn Beck? Isn't that the guy who proclaimed that song was a call to rebellion and that parents should shield their children from it? And that Muse supported all his ideals?

It will probably be a combination of the first three, followed by a dystopian scenario. Secretly, I'm hoping for a zombie apocalypse. Left 4 Dead has taught me everything I need to know :P

the world won't end; it'll keep on going for many billions of years. people are the main cause of problems, so i'm with the Bilderbergers in wanting to thin the herd back to 19th century levels, which will happen soon anyways with famine, pestilence, economic and natural disasters, plagues, and war.

the zombie apocalypse games and movies you see more of lately are just the result of crowding. when people start seeing more and more people everywhere they go and look, that means that there is less food. the zombies you will see will be hordes of starving people when the dollar collapses, the shelves empty, and supply lines evaporate.

The human IQ is dropping rapidly.

By 2200 we'll be lucky if we can put our shoes on right.

You didn't provide us a "Will not end" choice.

But I picked the '1984' choice as the closest. Of course it will probably end for certain when the sun gets unstable.

But my pick of 1984 isn't exactly how I think it will end as we know it. As you know already, I believe intelligence on this planet will become, I guess you might say, a 'hive mind' where there's a blending of intellect and the intelligence becomes -one- for all practical purposes, and organic life becomes just another hyper-modified abstract of the technology.

But the scariest aspect is, I believe this could happen in a mere handful of decades.

You never put an Antichrist option.
Or Tribulation option.
7 years of the worst times in history and then Jesus returns.

I think Apocalypse covers that.

Well if so, I vote Apocalypse.
Also, why in the quote am I "baconboy" instead of "Baconboy"?

Yes, manual typing. And your choice is prejudice, Baconboy, since you're of the religious sort. :)

Hmm,
1. An economic meltdown wont end the world, but it might save it.
2/3 China VS America could be bad, but I don't see anyone committing a global nuclear holocaust over Israel.
4. and .5 Have already happened!
6. Is already actually happening and there is probably not much we can do to stop it.
7. and 8. Are so extremely unreal/unlikely that I think we can safely ignore them. (see option 4)

Not wrong.
Check all the scraps who haven't posted.
MANY people joined after I did.
It's just their problem that they don't post at all. :lol:
