Has the world gone mad?!

It's high time for another war and I'm serious. We've been already for at least 65 years without a good and serious war, it's almost unavoidable. But it'll solve most, if not all, the problems. War will at least get the economy going around and thus solve the credit crisis. But Africa on the other hand has also been stupid, selling all their mines to China. But that's something to worry about when we run out of raw materials and fuel.

War is not the answer to fixing the global economy, there must be a better alternative. And the situation regarding the Credit Crisis can be solved differently than through conflicts. China is a growing superpower and yet they are banking on Japan for their future which I fear might be involved with communism and a push back to the 1950's which is something none of us want.
 
War will only put this country in more debt.We still owe all of our expenses to China,having another war will only ruin this country more than it is already.

War is what has formed this chaotic world,more of it will lead to rebellion.Why some crave war is ridiculous.We are forming enemies,you see how war has effected us so far;Terrorist attacks,Suicide attempts,Bombings,threat of a WW3,its just overwhelming and it needs to end.If it doesn't then what will be left for this country?What will students do without education that is gradually deprived of them due to the massive cost of war?What will be left I ask?What?
 
OMG guys be prepared for when 2012 attacks seriously, I'm sorry but the single thing that upsets me most in life is when people say 2012 is going to be the end of the world. The majority of people don't even know what it is. It is the end of a Mayan Calendar, it ended on the date because like two stars that were important to their culture line up or something, not because they thought it was going to be the end of the world. Seriously guys, I could make the exact same argument about December 31st 2011 being the end of the world cause "its when the europians end there calander and the europians were good at being a civlazation". It is just a conspiracy theory because people are always looking at the next thing to be afraid of.

Sure the world is in bad shape, but the Media makes things seem a lot worse, and I doubt that a country would be so upset with someone that they would fire a nuke and kill EVERYONE EVER, it is not like they would just "get" one country, the radiation would eventually get back to that country and everyone would be died, they are just going to kill themselves.

Global Warming is another thing like this (IMO, not question anyone's believes here), you guys it is a proven fact that the earth naturally goes through different stages of warming and cooling throughout the course of its life, it is not because we are ruining the atmosphere, sure us burning all our natural resources and putting poisonous gases into our air is a bad thing, and we should try to stop doing it, because I know that I for one don't want to breath that stuff, but the earth can handle its own weather. It will eventually going back to a cooler temperature, the only thing we can do about it is wait, and if we do do something drastic, we are just more likely to make the situation worse.

Everyone just needs to calm down about this stuff, you can continue worrying so much about a future that you might never see and can't do anything about, or make the most of your lives everyday and stop worrying! Focus on the positive side of life, not things like, OMG world war three, and the Earth is over 7 million year over due for a Geological Flip (if I remember correctly), I used to focus on this stuff all the time, but now I learned to not worry about things that it is almost impossible for you to prevent, and focus on the present, it has made me a much happier person.
 
Does anyone watch Brad Meltzer's Decoded on the History Channel?
Their next new episode is in regards to the 2012 conspiracy theory and people are speculating that there's going to be another Oil Spill on December 21, 2012 that's worse than the one that BP orchestrated last year in the Summer of 2010.

They also said that Nostradamus didn't predict something terrible on that date either. I've also heard 2012 theories about a galactic alignment and an increase in solar flares and such but we don't know for sure about that. Remember those crop circles that the aliens leave out? Isn't that supposed to be the solar system of our galaxy in the Milky Way?

Yeah the U.S. Government is still trying to figure out how to fix the Debt Ceiling that they've created, but yeah even after the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan the U.S. Military doesn't have the capability to fight in another war. More or less we're using up most of our resources in order to accomplish our missions there, don't know If that's al-qaeda's agenda to undermine the U.S. Military and sadly it seems to be working.

I'm hoping we can avoid a military strike against Iran and to make sure they don't go nuclear, rather I think we need to negotiate with them or prevent them from going nuclear and it seems like the tensions between North and South Korea have died down so that's a sign of good progress for peace. The problem I'm seeing with Iran is that they don't want Zionism to coexist with their beliefs in the world and heck If we're able to allow religions around the world to coexist why can't the Middle East?

Why is there a war between Christianity and Islam? In terms of the Science vs. Religion debacle If we stopped fighting over our religious differences and work together the world would be a better place now wouldn't it? We would be able to find new cures for diseases instead of wasting it as taxpayer money for something like Obamacare, among other positive possibilities as well. Sure curiosity killed the cat and we shouldn't go too far in our endeavor's to discover things.

Nothing would be left but I understand your point entirely.
 
I agree with Zenith.
@VY, Earth does go through periods of warming and cooling, but I'd be more inclined to believe that it's all/mostly natural if the global temperature hadn't spiked starting at about the time of the industrial revolution. And then there's the theory that the people in the media who deny global warming are being paid off by oil companies, which I think is very possible.
 
I guess that just goes to show how much the oil industry has become corrupt in order to stay in power, they don't care about the environment, climate change, or what happens to the planet as long as they keep getting their money.

What a bunch of low life scum. While they're making money off of people denying Global Warming other people are getting killed by natural disasters effected by climate change or they're struggling to stay alive especially in third world countries like Haiti, Indonesia, and Africa.
 
Is the world mad? Why yes, yes it is. Here's why:
People who do these insane things have gone mad. The media is mad by making it seem worse than it is. We are mad at the insane people and the media for being mad. The stress of the media's/insane guy's misdoings makes us madly insane.
On the other hand, the world is not mad. It has no spirit. It cannot have feelings. It cannot be insane. Therefore, it cannot be mad. lol
 
i am officially freaked out man but this has opened my eyes this world was ment for happiness and for us to get along but that is about the last thing happenin right now this world is divided and unless we dont do somethin well then somethin very very bad has happened?!?!!
 
Good grief are people still getting freaked out about the Tucson Massacre that happened last Saturday? Yeah that guy was a nutjob and he obviously was mentally ill and had issues with Congressman Gifford.

I can see why some people are worried that someone like him might do the same thing in the future, hopefully we can prevent it next time. Hasn't our security learned anything from Columbine and Virginia Tech? -____-

You cant expect to station a security guard every 10 meters inside every institution. We cant even afford to have 1 security guard inside every airplane at this point in time.

A better long term solution is to work towards banning gun ownership, but I don't think that's what the majority of Americans want if the statistics are to be believed.
 
Well I can personally say that this massacre has united a ton of us living here in Tucson.

I was with my older brother down the street when the shootings happened even though it's a tragedy I don't think this act defines us I am proud to live and have been born in Tucson.
 
I think that the Tucson Massacre was another wake up call for America just like 9/11 was years ago, that we as a nation need to work together, sort out our differences, and get this country back on track again. As they say, "United We Stand but Divided We Fall."

For those that were hurt in this tragedy you have my thoughts and prayers. It's hard but I want to look to the future on a positive note and not a negative, we need more optimism in the U.S.
 
These floods are absolutely terrible in Australia.
There have been abput 20 Deaths so far and about 100 are missing.
Thankfully floods have left my suburb and my house has received no damage however we had no power for two and a bit days. My relatives however have lost everything.

I feel so sad being high and dry while many are still with out a home and constantly cleaning out their house now. Tomorrow I am going down to volunteer to help out so I don't feel useless
 
@ PokefanJosh
From what I've heard, it's only been 13 dead, and 50ish missing. It's still pretty bad though. I feel really sorry for all those without homes D:.
 
na about 3 hours ago it was stated 16 was dead. And my bad thought it was close to 100. That's better than what I thought though!

24/7 is all about floods and I just can't stand to watch any more. Btw where abouts are you from?
 
I don't think 2012 will be the end of the world.
It turns out, most people don't.

What could possibly happen? The world vanishing? Satan arriving? Mt. Yellowstone erupting? The sun exploding?

All of these are so unlikely it's not worth talking about.
I, for one, think 2012 is bogus.
 
No, the world is at its always is. It's just the doom and gloomers/radical Christians/conspiracy theorists who are announcing the coming of the End of Times that are going mad.

In regards to the mass animal die out/floods in Australia/etc, it is just pure coincidence. However, while I rule out the act of the divine being involved, I will acknowledge that it could be a biological change within the world - like a biological clock idea.

I'd to point out that in 1999 everyone believed the world would end at 12:00am on the 1st January 2000 and that never happened. So like you and many others, I believe that the end of the world in 2012 is "bogus"
 
I think that there is still good left in the world

Also, concerning global warming,

Just food for thought
 
This would appear to be a thread in which people talk about affairs. Did anyone hear about Jordan Rice, or whatever his name was?
