Your prediction on the future of the human race

[Regulus]

That is true, but again if we do start to manipulate the economy, how would people react? Honestly, people would hate that, they love what they have now and don't want it to change. And communism. HA, good job Lenin, that was such a smart idea you had for Russia, it didn't make it so that millions of people starve and die at all.

Such changes would only affect the 1% I mentioned earlier. How dare they pay the same percentage as everyone else in taxes!

...which the government should use to build our infrastructure. You know, like other countries at least try to do.

[wolfishgirl]

That's true, the 1% that is rich, but the rich are the most powerful. And those that have power are able to get everyone else to follow them. They are the *sheep dogs* and we are the *sheep*. The few *Black Sheep* are ostracized from society for their radical views that threaten the rich peoples security.

[Regulus]

Exactly.

It's the circle of economics. Rich people pay politicians, and politicians look after the rich in return, so that both groups get richer. There really isn't anything that can be done without starting a revolution. And that would only mean war. And, as you said earlier, the effects wouldn't last. Eventually the cycle would return.

There really isn't anything anyone can do.

[wolfishgirl]

Yes that is true, but as the future leaders, don't you agree that we can start on something that can effect the world for better before we get pulled into the greedy world?

[Misiziri]

I have no idea, honestly. I still think we've got a fair amount of time, maybe a few lifetimes, before things really hit the fan. I know greed is completely out of control, you can see it everywhere... but I wouldn't give up hope for humanity too soon. I like to be the optimistic one Maybe something will smack us across the face and give us a huge wake-up call. Buuuut I don't think that's going to happen to soon. But there's just so many possibilities... I have no idea what the future holds.

If you're talking, like, the very END of humanity then hopefully the Earth and remaining life will pull through. But that's a bit of a far cry, as for humanity being entirely wiped out I don't see that happening any time soon.

I agree with you Misiziri. We need a wake up call or else it's gonna become a lot worse, and so bad. That's why I made this. I'm hoping that it will help some teenagers see what's going on and help them get away from the crowd and stop being a sheep.
Who finds this wrong. Last year a Norwegian terrorist killed 77 people. He was caught and is facing trail. If he is found guilty and not acquitted on insanity plea he will only serve 21 years in prision!!!!

[SlayerOfLight]

lol if that norwegian scumback goes to prison for 21 years, he'd probally be an old man and too old to commit such horrid crimes again when he gets free. And if he will get away with everything he has done, he'll ultimately face the concequences of his actions either in THIS life or in the afterlife.

mass murderers and evil persons will NEVER escape justice, no matter what.

[DGFone]

There are only two options. 1: Humanity, and the rest of life, gets wiped out because of our inability to control the world we created. Or 2: We learn to live with what we have, stabilize, and prosper while keeping net change at a minimum or to a better degree.

I believe that the second option is much, much more likely than the first. I may sound like an optimist, but I am looking at it this way:

As one of many evolved species, we humans have a very strong sense of self preservation. The only reason why humanity is not in a nuclear apocalypse right now is because everyone are too afraid to face it. And it is this fear that will also save us, and the planet.

Right now it is the "hippy happy" thing to try and save the planet. I hope it won't come to it, but eventually, even the greediest, most selfish petrol-head wasteful consumer out there will figure out that they have to go green and save the world. If only because their own skin depends on it.

So the reason might be somewhat cynical, but yes, we will survive.

I've thought about this for years, and this is my prediction for the short term

Within 20ish years, the human population is booming and obvious, resources are short for everyone, and we realize we've been cheated by billionares. Global revolution begins, and eventually many, many people are wiped out. The rest depends on what kind of people are left over.

That my friend, is a bit scary to think about.

But in all terms, the government will realise that what they do is killing the Earth and nontheless, themselves and what they rule over. Like said before, they will change themselves and 'Go Green' to save their own skin, not ours. Yet, once they think it's all fine and dandy, they'll go back to their old ways, and rule themselves to the grave. Meaning, a revolution. Which, though it seems like it, won't happen in our generation!
