Thread: The Most Important Question of the Century

Without watching your video, I would say, tar and feather every politician, judge and lawyer. The world would be humming along very nicely in a short amount of time.

Sounds like a good plan,I second that!!!

Well i'm happy i do not have to live next 100 years, but sorry for the kids because of the mess we leave them.

this old world has been around for a long, long time and it will be around for a lot longer and we will survive just fine.
we have had naysayers say we would not be able to fish the oceans by the year 1990(ted danson and the save the ocean crowd) and we are still doing good. we have had naysayers say that the exxon valdez was the end of life and fishing for that area and things are turning around(some from man's help and some from nature) we have survived every one of these outlandish claims and we will do so in the future.
do we need to change some of our habits? probably so. but first and foremost we will survive as always...

Sadly, I think that Mr.Hawking's brain disintegrated long ago.

Maybe he's on crack.

Is he hoping that 'aliens' from outer space will help 'save' us.

Does he have any real idea what it would take to try and feasibly go and try to set some of us up somewhere else in the galaxy or universe?

Or is it that he, like many, has bought into this false idea that there are too many people on the planet? Is that the answer? We need fewer people. Of course there are those who propose exactly that, like getting rid of about 85% of us. Well, just let them lead the way, them first.

Does any sane person think that the Extremist Leaders in the Middle East can be trusted or will back off on the pursuit of nuclear weapons? Or that any others such as the Russians or Chi-Comms could really be trusted in any kind of disarmament deal?

Come on X, did you really mean to put this on the 'Joke Thread'?
Now I am really starting to wonder about you man.

I really did think then, at that young age, that what if... what if that could happen to me. What if there was some kind of big foot that could come down and destroy ME ? Thirty or so years later I was watching Nova and saw the show on the asteroid hits that the earth had taken. That, they said, may have been the source of the end of the dinosaurs.

So we sit here worried about this and worried about that in our personal lives as we spin through space in a sea of debris. When I get in touch with that it eases my mind somewhat. Like how important is my current crisis in the larger scheme of things ? As for as Mr.Hawking's concerns regarding our own proclivity toward self destruction. I would suspect we are in a heap of trouble.
