Largest threat to the Earth = ?

[Roger Lococco]

Lots to choose from. Here are a few. What do you all think?

1. Global warming
2. Nuclear war
3. The robots
4. Famine
5. Disease and epidemic that is incurable and contagious

My view. Serious response. Robots.

5- disease

The Terminator/AI scenario does not scare me nearly as much as antibiotic resistant disease

Of the five you listed, I would go with nuclear war.

But, what I'm really concerned about is the collapse of our economic system arising from run-away government spending and astronomical national debt. That economic collapse will lead to political strife and political repression by nation states which could spark civil war all across the globe on a scale that has not been seen in human history. That civil war could ultimately culminate in nuclear war (possibly limited at first, but could be escalate dramatically if things go really badly for one side or the other). Once the world's food supply is destroyed in that war, famine and disease will spread on a global scale.

Just my two cents... Oh, shit, I thought this was a serious question

Largest threat to the Earth = ?

None of those are threats to the Earth. The Earth will easily survive any of those. It has survived a lot worse. The Earth will be fine.

Now, the PEOPLE? That's different. Humans are their own worst enemies, usually. Their ego and their need to be right, and refusal to ever admit they made a mistake. Lack of humility and lack of empathy.

The irony is; When the situation is at its worst, people are at their best.

We already have those things minus nuclear war (we have the ever constant threat of it, yes). I fear nothing as I know we are mortals and wouldn't even survive most of that. Death is not the end, it's the beginning of something new. It's simply evolving to what comes next and I have no fear of that. While I do not know EXACTLY what we evolve to, I know that it is peaceful and full of love. I have no doubt about it.

We took my daughter last summer. She absolutely loved it.

I would probably go with 5.

Same here -- my daughter loves the place too. Their margins have got to be through the roof. You can buy the same teddy bear at Target for 1/10 the price.

Immigrants.

Time. Even if Strum doesn't want to believe in it

Immigrants.

Do you really believe this or are you just just being funny?

He means it, but he's talking about all those f**king northerners moving down south.

Yes

He means it, but he's talking about all those f**king northerners moving down south.

And also yes.

Yeah we need several million more illegals on social benefits

To expound on my poast -- and I know @gunslingerdick agrees with me on this -- I would support a 10-year hiatus on ALL immigration into the U.S., regardless of ethnicity, nationality, and religion. The only exception would be student visas for international students.

Well if I were an asshole and wanted to ban people, I'd ban all those damn doctors from India that cannot speak English well lol...but I'm not that mean!

Yeah, it is ridiculous. It is worth it to see how much she enjoys it but isn't something we would do a lot or anything.

I would happily fall in line too.
