I doubt it, and even if there were NOT EVERY SINGLE human being will die, the only way to do that is to send out a virus -- even then there are chances that some people will be immune to it -- the only other thing is to blow up the planet, but what's the point of warring if there's no survival?
As for Russia invading Georgia, the US and it's allies are still stronger than Russia and who ever decides to back up their invasion.
Back to what I was saying about not everyone will die. I don't think it'll happen because the US itself has never been attacked on it's mainland, why do you think it's so urban? It's never happened in the last two WWs, why would it happen now? We're just too far from everyone else, besides there's a rule that you're not suppose to attack a highly populated area (which is most of mainland US). That pretty much rules out that "everyone will die"
IF there ever comes a WW III.
I'm sorry but I don't believe in the Biblical end of the world, most of that stuff was "borrowed" from other faiths (ie. old pagan stories). I just don't believe a higher intelligence would bother trying to destroy something that's not even worth thinking about. A higher being wouldn't waste time wiping out a species that will eventually be gone before he/she could blink. If it's our end, it's because we destoryed ourselves, not God or anything else.
Even if humanity is gone, it doesn't mean it'll be the end of the world, it'll just be the end of a human era.
There was life
before us, and they'll be life long after we're gone. We're not the center of the universe, we're just a tiny speck in time.
Just because Iraq is temporarily banned from the Olympics why would the US be too?
Iraq was briefly banned from the Olympics in July after the government disbanded the country's NOC in May, a move that angered the IOC that accused the government of interfering.
After a desperate attempt to iron out differences, the IOC relented and allowed Iraqi athletes to compete only days before the Games, but insisted an election be held by the end of November to form a new NOC.
"They have agreed on the outlines of the rearrangement and election," the office of government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said in a statement.
"The deal stipulates that the election is to be held by the Iraqi independent electoral commission, under the supervision of the IOC and the Iraqi judicial system," it said.
Sounds to me like it has
nothing to do with the US. It also looks like their athletes did get to compete afterall.
I'm not worried about death. It's just a body, my soul will live on forever, whether it gets to come back into a body or not (IF there is even bodies left), is another story but regardless, they'll always be sentient beings.
I still don't think it's the end of a human era though, not even close, there's still a lot we as a species need to learn so humans will exist for quite a while longer. Whether there's a WW III, well I don't think it'll be anytime soon but I'm sure, eventually, in the future there will be. As a species, we're kind of stupid, we don't learn from our mistakes. There's always going to be some dumbass that feels the need to rule over others that don't want to be ruled.
I sense that it'll be the end or begining of something but
not the end of humanity, not yet anyways.
The Mayan calendar ends on 2012, most people assume that it's the end of the world, the END of something.
What if it's just the end of an era and the begining of something else?
