Overpopulation, super volcanoes, comets, meteors, nuclear winter, global warming, a new ice age.
So many possible ways for us to be wiped off the face of the earth. Are we doomed, or will we be able to survive through technology? |

Are we doomed?
I sincerely hope so. A greater waste of potential is hard to think of. |

We will survive for as long as we strive to better ourselves and recognize and encourage the best amongst us rather than just point out and think too much about the worst.In saying that,we have to think about the worst as being the absolute worst that could happen and be aware of all dangers that that it brings with it.I don't know if anyone ever said that to you in a professional envoirement but panicking doesn't take you anywhere else but into a panicky zone you'll never get out of.Face the facts,deal with them and
we can at least look forward to a better future for future generations of human beings. |

Yeah, I think humans are crafty enough to survive all of this stuff.
We can learn to live in harsh environments if need be. |

everything dies eventually, so in the big picture, NO, the human race will eitrher eventually die out or replace itself with an evolved race, unrecognizable as humans.
or we will all live in outer space. that will be cool. or we cuold all live underwater.

we're doooomed, doooomed i tell you !
:-p it could happen in 1 2 3 or slowly but why worry about it ? our race has fucked up this planet now we're slowly beginning to realise that and some of us even try to 'do something about it' but some things can't be fixed or prevented.. maybe we're just the new dinosaurs only more destructive fact is you can drive yourself crazy pondering about what might, may or will happen but why think about it? if you're walking down the street tomorrow and you're struck by lightning or a brick lands on your head it's over too just try to have enough fun before you're gone, no ? erm... i'm gonna stop the morbid talk now ignore this reply mmkay, haha. |

I don't know if I had the money I'd build a bomb shelter. I think it goes back to my first fantasy when I was 13 that I would someday be one of the last men on earth and have to do my part in helping repopulate. |

some quotes from 'Generation X - Tales for and accelerated culure'
"Use Jets While You Still Can" "The Love Of Meat Prevents Any Real Change" "Overboarding - Overcompensationg for fears about the future by plunging headlong into a job or lifestyle seemingly unrelated to one's previous interests .i.e. Mc Jobs" "McJobs - A low-pay, low-prestige, low-dignity, low benefit, no-future job in the service sector." "Now Denial - To tell oneself that the only time worth living in is the past and that the only time that may be interesting again is the future." "Diseases for kisses (hyperkarma) - a deeply rooted belief that punishment will somehow always be far greater than the crime eg. ozone holes for littering." |

If you spent more time reading more interesting books than that,i think that you'd worry less about the extinction of human beings as a whole.Just a thought.

Life will most likely survive for another billion years, until the sun becomes too hot and makes the earth unhabitable.
As for mankind, not that optimistic, but I suppose somekind of technological revolution could happen and save us. Maybe the civilization as we know it will vanish within the next few hundread years, but from its ashes another will rise. |

I had forgotten that you are of course, Porkmarras, action man.
Seen here in full survival mode, Porkmarras can survive extreme weather and time itself due to his non-biodegradable coating, tough boots, giant gun and muscles. Action Man laughs at mother nature. |

Less reliance on technology, more reliance on Jesus. That's the key.

He looks weird. That's what science and government have planned for us.
