Willieh Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Sorry for the corny name. I just thought it might attract attention :P Anyway... Here's what this thread is about. I believe the world is slowly, yet surely, coming to an end. As many people have noticed, yet ignored, more than a quarter of the population of bees on earth have died. http://www.kqed.org/quest/television/view/434?gclid=COGYs4DsuZQCFQGkHgodSzMqUg You might not take this as a serious problem. But I think that the world is coming to an end based on that. The human race relys heavily on the honey bees. Another thing that you might notice is that there have been massive floods/storms in Iowa (thnx Wombat). This is also important because most of the corn in America is received from Iowa. Think about all of the products that have some type of corn product in them...things you might overlook like soda. Basically I'm just wanting to know what you guys' oppinion on this is. Do you think I'm just a paranoid whacko, or do you seriously think that the world might be coming to an end? debatez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tkill93 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 I'm pretty sure we could recover from a lack of honey. The corn thing may be a small economic problem if floods continue and no where else decides to start making more corn. But for these to end the world, it would take a lot of time and we'll probably find some other way to kill ourselves before then. At the moment it's nothing to worry about and won't cause the end of the world because there's always alternatives. I'm sure scientists are smart enough to spot this before it becomes a matter of life or death. So, I think you're thinking right but you may be a little too paranoid.

VainZiler Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Correction: The earth is fine. It's we that are coming to an end. The earth will live on for some time, but our lives are limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not saying that the earth itself is coming to an end; but rather that our wordly lives are coming to and end. A more accurate way to put it would be, "The world is coming to an end for us" but the term "The world is coming to an end" is just as specific.

No need for further debate on my end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tkill93 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Well, it should be obvious that the world's coming to an end for us, but it's always interesting to debate how. ( If anyone says global warming, gtfo. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VainZiler Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 ( If anyone says global warming' date=' gtfo. )[/quote'] I believe that's something we can all agree on. As for how, I forsee it being ourselves. One country with nukes will finally decide to use them, then a chain reaction shall follow where all countries will use their supply.

Willieh Posted July 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 I think that it would be cool if a series of natural disasters will ultimately lead to our death. Natural disaster is ultimately unnavoidable; and it's fun to watch to. (not saying that people dying is fun; but the disaster itself looks cool) What if you found out that nature was a living organism; being this. Nature can control what it does, it just leaves evidence behind as to how it did it. That would be so weird... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The games main story has you playing as an agent who is trying to stop these mad men from starting a 'Cold Winter', otherwise known as a Nuclear Winter. It's a theory that says if too many Nuclear Bombs are set off, it will cause a chain reaction that'll blanket the earth in a constant nuclear radiation snow fall that'll block out the sun and kill off the majority of the human race.

( Let's try stay on topic of end of the world. :p ) Vain: Though I'm not to sure that would actually happen, that is an interesting theory.

HelioSpark Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Hey Willie, you have your facts mixed up. Idaho has been fine recently, I think you meant Iowa. Idaho = Potatoes, Iowa = Corn. And Iowa has been flooding a lot. I imagine the end of the world being brought about by an asteroid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Rose Phoenix® Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 okkkk... I don't really like honey, and it isn't really in alot, so... You do know the bees faced extinction before, it's the climate. They moved before cas the weather wasn't right for there species, so they moved, and now i haven't a clue what there doing, by the looks of things, there not doing anything. I don't honestly think the world will end yet, but there are many worries, like climate change, the moon moving 1cm away from the Earth every week or 2... but the end is not yet... ~cardcreator 444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HelioSpark Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 And actually the bees were not killed off by the climate, they were killed off by a highly agressive, highly contagious virus that ate their abdomens from the inside out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Cobra Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Janet Southiel, a person who mades guesses about the future (and was 100% right) says the world will end in 2061. This could be a start to a chain reaction effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Lord Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Global warming-- We can filter sunlight, block out some or whatever. Scientists have already said that.I think we'll invent some magic machine to do the bee's work... I hope... But I'd preferto die in a blaze a' glory!
