The World is on the brink!

And closer.

We are really heading into some previously charted territory here.

The world is doomed.

Humans have almost failed.

Not many chances left.

All will be resolved. Just go and see the movie "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".
 
More signs of the coming disaster with increased unrest around the world, particularly the situations in Libya and Syria. Syria is especially problematic because they actually have some decent military assets perhaps well paid enough to remain loyal to Assad, and have some backing from Iran.

Next on the block may actually be Iran and if general unrest starts there then Western Asia might be in real trouble.

On top of that Turkey (one of the only sane Muslim countries in the world - because they are constitutionally secular thanks to Ataturk) has cut off diplomatic dealings with Israel because they won't apologise for killing the activists trying to illegally enter their sovereign country.

Now, today I see protests in Italy about austerity measures to cut their debt. Greece almost collapsed into anarchy for the same reason.

And, most worrying to me, is that today New South Welshmen were marching because they were getting hard done by for some reason. At the same time, the government is getting into more and more debt.

Have people no idea about what is going on in the world?

Humans are just so selfish an animal, and hardly moral.

The only true motivation proves to be survival.
 
Interesting what John Howard said on Lateline last night.
He was very concerned about the unrest in and around Pakistan, as they have nuclear weapons. Like he said, it would be a grave situation for Australia if they fell into terrorist control

Yep, and Libya's chemical and anti-aircraft weapons have just fallen into the hands of who?

Arab Muslims without a job.

Double dip, probably depression, major conflict.

Oh.

You made the original post sound as if there was an impending doom and disaster about to strike in the hearts of men globally! Ivasion from above perhaps?

They are just market conditions that require different strategies - dip away, let the shorters go nuts and the longs pick up the pieces.
 
The financial calamity created by greed, despotism, nepotism, corruption, unemployment, disenfranchisement, information available to the oppressed, loss of leadership legitimacy due to the previous, civil unrest, rebellion, civil war, external interference, ethnic-historical-cultural-political-religious-economic allegiances, survival imperative.

Aliens will actually unite the world.
 
You might perhaps look back on this post in about a decade when you might realise Kennas is right.
The world is indeed in a perilous state and not just as it relates to financial markets.

The most concerning aspect is that when we are so in need of proper leadership it seems not to exist in any country, let alone the ineffectual U.N.
 
The World is on the brink!

Thats all.
It really is.
 
I don't think there's a problem, we will be bred out. Our birthrates are falling the rest are increasing.
We will all be third world countries, it's only a matter of time.

Increased population is one of the results of our nature and a compounding effect on our disunity. Yes.

However; 1000 poor people = 1 rich person. (for arguments sake)

The first people to be abolished will be the uneducated and poor. They are just making up the numbers really, and taking a disproportionate amount of wealth from what we deem to be 'successful' society. Make sense of $500m ish pa to PNG for negative effect. What a waste.

We need to adapt to our condition or we really will die because the water level is rising by 0.0000001 mm per year.
 
Thank god for vocational swimming classes. The good thing about the slow raising of sea levels, is that it will give us time to evolve and return from whence we came.

Yep, the answer now is how to survive.

If global warming can't be stopped, why not just start building cities on higher ground to survive this period of increased global temperature.

Australia is currently the driest continent on the planet.

Perhaps in 100,000 years we will be the greenest.

I don't care if Humans are ruling at that point. It will just be according to the natural adjustment of our our Universe in order to survive.

Ride the wave. Adapt. Overcome.

Dispersed particles to reflect some of the sunrays were not accepted, as we don’t know if they won’t make catastrophic change.
On the other hand there is catastrophic change coming because of CO2.

Just cannot accept that TAX is the best method to prevent it.

(Yes I am for conservation of natural resources and I am also not convinced that little bit of extra CO2 will kill us, and definitely against TAX to be given away as subsidy to those WORSE OFF)
 

Nooooooo!

I think political rhetoric is our best medicine.

Look at what Mr Obamasan just did to Mr Market with his blast of hot air....

Kind, honest, generous pollies will save us all from ourselves.

 
Julia/Kennas;

Sorry - but there is no impending doom on the way, unless you know of an asteroid on it's way (besides Apophus)...

Increased population - National unrest etc. These things have existed all through time. Increased population is due to the ability to sustain it. The Earth is NOT running out of room and Nature is not going to be eaten up from a mere 6b.

If I do read the news from a decade ago, untill now, it will begin with 911, and end here. There is nohting abnormal happening to this world - and I am going to be bold and say; Kennas, I do believe you are indirectly reffering to what some con-theorists call, "NWO" (New World Order). The deliberate creation of unrest in order to whisk the world into some totalitarian single Governmental state, but not before the break-out of harsh war.

Sorry, Pish-Posh... We were never settled to begin with to take notice of a sudden shake-up of our peace.

There will be change - big ones. No doom. The world, is on the brink of nothing. The world has been said to be on the brink on so many different occasions. There is no brink - only change.
