Is our generation screwed?

[barryween]

Old people always tell us how lazy a pathetic we are, but thay are the ones ruinning our chance of a future. It sucks.

WW3 around the corner? Um, sources?

1930 to 1945

Sorry, that was the sound of our generation being humped furiously.
In other, less creepy words, yes.

I disagree.

Oh yeah?
OH YEAH?!?
WELL!
...That is your right.

And that alone is a reason we are not screwed.
We live the safest, longest and most advanced lifes ever. And some religious idiots in a desert are not going to change anything about it, no matter how much your political leaders trump up their seriousness.

But you heard him! We don't have rights anymore.
RUN FOR COVER
Fair enough, though. I don't want to see how life would be after any sort of global conflict. Most people couldn't survive without technology.

Yeah but it's all for your own safety blablablabullshit. At least in europe not everone jumped the bandwagon when it came rumbling through.
And I have to agree that a lot of people would die if technology would disappear or be rendered useless by lack of energy. But mankind would survive.

But it'd take a long time and a lot of deaths.
Not that I'm complaining.

My personal estimate would be 4-5 years to drop the population to 3 billion due to riots, wars and general violent outbursts, starvation and lack of medical equipment.

I predict cults taking advantage of innate human stupidity would spring up on the day after the disaster.

The day after? No no. They already do that.

But this is specific cults dedicated to end-of-the-world stupidity.
People who believe it's divine intervention, people who want to pretend it never happened, etc, etc...

People who believe everyone elses purpose is for food or personal amusement (that would be mine)...

I agree that the cult-/tribecreation would be pretty fast, but not only from those innate. Everybody would be forced to either join a cult/tribe or die, simply because the "lone wolf" has no chance to a) survive encounters with hostile people and b) find/cultivate/hunt enough food to survive.

It just so happens I have a massive EMP device right in my lap. Care to wage your stockpile of baked beans against my own on how well a "lone wolf" type can survive?

With you lurking in my closet with a rusty knife? No, sir, I don't think so.

Hey, It's the end of the World as we know it [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bmxyj6iInMc] and I feel fine.

 

[TwistedEllipses]

What's the point of replying? What's the point of anything? I'm so depressed...

 

[Jaythulhu]

Yes, you're all screwed. I fully expect the planet to blow up when the current range of kiddies reaches adulthood.

Think those pics say it all really.

 

[HypnotizedCOW]

Wellllll...... yes. Every generation has been screwed by the previous. So either we're the ones who'll get the last laugh, or we'll just screw up our childrens lives for them to clean up. But honestly, why should we all whine about about how screwed we are when we could be enjoying life while we can?

 

[Zebra on Crack]

I mean look at it like this, we are already really low we cant really mess up things anymore than they already are except for WW3 like some of you have mentioned in which case half of us will be dead anyway

Damn! One day, Spencer...one day, you'll make a fatal mistake, and I'll be there to watch your life end.
I may even be the primary cause.

There is no "n" in my name ^^
And I never make mistakes. Never. Ever. Because I'm always right. And when I'm not right, I shoot you.

...Shit, I made a mistake!
Your name is Specter, I dunno where I got Spencer from.
Probably my brain.
Sorry about that.
YOU MAY SHOOT ME, BUT LIKE JESUS AND MALCOLM REYNOLDS BEFORE ME, I SHALL RISE AGAIN

You can try and rise again when I'm using your rotting carcass as a couch since you ruined mine when you found that box o' porn...
