    What do you mean "now that" weve had more than enough for a while? (-:
    Hopefully never. Im sure there will be plenty of strife caused by nuclear power though regardless.

    We will never blow ourselves up, those days are past us.

    The worst that could happen would be limited, tactical use of nukes, and the likeliest scenario for nuke use, scary enough, is that some radical terrorist group will get their hands on a nuke and set it off in a large city.

    i think something else will cause the mass destruction of mankind. i don't claim to know when, but i'm guessing disease/pollution/those sorts of things are more likely to lead to the cause.

    I completely agree. I believe our earth has a way of keeping our population in check and also causing us to reinvent humanity a la the black plague. Epidemiology is really fascinating. I think its really interesting that a number of my history professors are putting money on this theory and also think antibacterial household products are a joke and doing more harm to the greater good.

    I'm still going to go have nightmares now.

    Yeah, if the world as we know it is going to end, it's gonna be disease...superflu like in "The Stand" or something...airborne Ebola, or the like.

    And yes, I was a little offended by the "not soon enough" comment too. I rather like living on this planet as well...don't get the "man is evil" mindset.

    im quite happy, but sadly as human beings we will never learn how to get along peacefully, without causeing war, pain, hunger, povery and so many other things to our own kind as well as everything else. maybe if an atomic bomb went off, people would finally get it. unfortunatly the only time we ever care about one another is when great disaster strikes. look at 9-11-01 for example.

    Now I see why some peope are offended because they hadn't seen the video first. Sorry!!!

    Countries having nuclear weapons -- US, USSR, England, Canada, France, Israel, China, India, Pakistan, North Korea, and soon Iran. How many of them are stable and secure enough to keep them under wraps and out of terrorists' hands?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear..._Proliferation

    Climate change is mostly non-political now, but I think it will become a prime mover toward the use of WMD, as some countries become desperate or will align themselves (economically) with countries that have become so desperate that the pressure to bully others will become overpowering. It may not become a world-wide thing but I think tactical weapons will be used before I kick he can. Sorry to say.

    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.

    We won't blow ourselves up. We are going to turn cannibal and eat each other.

    Why do you think were called "consumers"?


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    Any species has infinite capacity for populatiuon growth. Infinite.

    Resources are finite.

    There will always be conflict/competition until one of those things changes, and I don't think I'm going to stop wanting food or sex anytime soon.

    Sooner or later, lack of food and rampant disease takes a population down a bit. Then with all the abundant food and shortage of people (post plague) population booms. Rinse, repeat. It's kind of depressingly cyclical.

    Yes, I agree. The confluence of factors surrounding overpopulation, resource depletion, pollution and the collapse of an unsustainable system will do more than enough to bring about a major fuck-over of our species.
