What the hell ?

[blues90]

I'm just reading through some of the post topics and see doom from every angle.

Yellowstone about to maybe explode , Israel/Hamas tragity, Iran back in the posts and the present admin still may create more damage and some suspect they may not leave.

The economy in the tank and sinking fast where 2009 looks even worse.

The battle for three senate seats.

More stores shutting down

The big three get their bailout

Banks folding and who knows where the bailout money is or went.

Africans poisioned by battery lead ad=nd part of Africa eating bugs and field mice and Pakistan in chaos.



Russian ships in south america and in Cuban waters

Is there anything I forgot to wrap up this endless package of horror?

2. Beyond that everything is going okay

:hi:

[EFerrari]

3. India / Pakistan tension. n/t

[blues90]

20. You're right , I forgot India , old age is setting in .

I'm certain I forgot more than I remember through the last wonderful 8 years.

Somehow I do recall a time when we were trying to end and dismantle all the nukes, guess that's now a thing of the past and forgotten instead we supply countries with nukes just so everyone is on a level playing field.

4. Look on the bright side!

The bush mob is gone in only 16 days!

Better times are ahead. I can feel it.

[David Ricardo]

5. It could be worse always

I always like to keep things in perspective.

The Black Death wiped out like 15% of the world's population.

<i>that's</i> a bad year.

[bobd0]

11. Whenever someone says, "It could be worse"

I think of the grave robbery scene from the movie "Young Frankenstein".

"I"gor (as he and the Baron dig to rob a corpse), "It could be worse."

The Baron, "How could it possibly be any worse?"

"I"gor, "It could be raining."

Cue RAIN.

[Earth Bound Misfit]

18. Heh heh

:rofl: Love that movie.

[vanboggie]

6. Many think this is more important

3rd hand smoke. Terra!! Terra!!

And many still call documented stolen elections tinfoil. :shrug:

[madokie]

Just when you thought you could scratch bird flu off your list of things to worry about in 2009, the deadly H5N1 virus has resurfaced in poultry in Hong Kong for the first time in six years, reinforcing warnings that the threat of a human pandemic isn't over.

India, Bangladesh, Vietnam and mainland China also experienced new outbreaks in December. During the same period, four new human cases -- in Egypt, Cambodia and Indonesia -- were reported to the World Health Organization. A 16-year-old girl in Egypt and a 2-year-old girl in Indonesia have died.

Throughout history, influenza viruses have mutated and caused global epidemics or pandemics. The Spanish influenza pandemic of 1918-1919, which caused about 50 million deaths worldwide, has been cited as the most devastating in recorded world history. Its profound virulence, with a mortality rate of 2.5 percent compared to 0.1 percent for previous influenza epidemics, depressed the average lifespan in the U.S. by ten years. However, the impact of this pandemic was not limited to 1918-1919. All influenza A pandemics since, except human infections from avian viruses such as H5N1 and H7N7, have been caused by descendants of the 1918 virus—making the 1918 virus the “mother” of all pandemics.

YeeeeeeeeeHAW!!!;)

[blues90]

16. Thank you so much , I'm beginning to feel I'm sorry I asked. nt

[Veritas_et_Aequitas]

10. A couple of things

Increased unrest in Colombia and Zimbabwe.

The Maldives are looking for a new mainland home in case their current one sinks.

[keep_it_real]

12. It's all good

It's called justice but hey, I was at Costco yesterday and folks can still afford big screen TV's . . . so what the hey.

[Incitatus]

14. You didn't mention the giant asteroid that's about to hit Earth. nt

[CreekDog]

15. I'm just checking in to agree with you

:hi:

[blues90]

21. Amazing isn't it?

Now I can't quite decide on which of the many ways I choose to go, there are so very many choices it's difficult to choose.

[CreekDog]

24. keep it together man

:rofl: :P

[sarge43]

17. In approximately 4 billion years the sun will go nova

and expand to the orbit of this planet. Sun blocker won't help a bit. But hey, we'll all be dead anyway.

If that isn't enough warm fuzzy, 99% of the species that ever existed no longer do. Great odds, eh?

Gotta keep these things in perceptive.

[TahitiNut]

19. Don't forget the heartbreak of psoriasis.

:dunce:

[Canuckistanian]

23. The incidence of hemorrhoids is on the rise

And Chinese-made Preparation H has been found laced with Arsenic.

[Harry Monroe]

27. Actually, the Chinese laced the Preparation H with super glue.

[Justitia]

25. Earth is due to flip polarity (geomagnetic reversal) & we could all die instantly.

No scientist can accurately predict the fate of humanity when it happens and it can be totally random at this point.

Uh, so, there's that.

[blues90]

26. Cool , let me add that to my list . nt

[Caretha]

29. Don't forget TVA

and all the crap from "clean mining". :) Just trying to help. BTW, did you hear about...uhh, nevermind, you don't want to know.

[blues90]

30. yeah "clean coal" and look at that mess.

I can't come close looking at coal and even think of a way to call it clean. Then there is mountain removal , forget just the tops they destroy the entire mountain and everything near it and then some.

[Old Codger]

28. well

It ain't never so bad it can't get worse :shrug:
