Not on the outside…which of course was all that mattered in those pre-CSI days. One has to admire the cleverness of the assassins, cringe-worthy as their methodology was.
The future
-
I think the youth movement in Canadawill conflict with the US…and they are next door.
-
I think you mean epidemic. Sorry, I usually try to ignore the spelling on these forums, but pandemic?
And Yanny, I don’t think we have 100 years, but I also don’t think we will go extinct. We will likely make nearly every other species on the planet extinct, but I’d say that a small percentage of humans will survive to trash the earth some more. -
The whole world be destroyed? is that possible? it seems like a fear we had throughout history…somewhere along the line someone has to say “the crap stops here.”
-
The US has enough Nuclear bombers in it’s arsenal to destroy the world many times over.
-
no kiddng…but here’s my theory. nuclear weapons will never be used to kill off the world. why? because people have nukes as a deturrent, for power. if you kill everyone, the rich and powerful will be no more.

Or, some crazy autocrat seizes power in one of those countries and unleashes a nuclear war.

"Or, some crazy autocrat seizes power in one of those countries and unleashes a nuclear war. "
Like Saddam “So Damn Insane” Hussein?
-
He would be some lesser example. But, look at Russia. A revolution could happen there. Some crazy guy (or maybe some guy with good intentions) could take power, and start blowing up small countries with Russia’s still formitable nuclear arsenal.
-
a comet could hit us too! in 900 years i believe.
In fact in the year 2005, NASA will be blowing up a comet for “research.” I found some info on that comet, and it qualifies as a planet killer…cover up?
-
No, I meant pandemic. Epidemic is a spread of a disease in a large area, a pandemic is a spread of a disease around the world, like influenza in the early 1900s
-
oh yeah! LAtin roots are useful! Pan means “all.”
-
There is no force on in this world that could destroy the Earth itself. Save maybe a Deathstar, the closest thing to devastation is cracking the Earths crust and making it inhabitable.
-
Well, the earth could be standing but every living thing would die after a comet hit the earth!
-
Aren’t there enough nukes to vaporize the moon?
-
Probably :wink:
-
but maybe that was a cold war statistic…but China, Israel, Iraq, India, and PAkistan balance it out :grin:

Thank you yourbuttocks, I did look it up in a dictionary.
pandemic (pan-dem’ik) adj. 1. Med. widely epidemic. 2. universal; general.
So, yes it is a word(which I already admitted when I acknowledged my mistake); it was just used incorrectly. It was used as a noun when it is an adjective.
