the 4 horsemen are Death, War, Famine, and Pestilence. If you look around. They are already present. The end of the world isn't too far off. Incurable diseases are spreading like wildfire (cancer and aids). The saddest thing that is actually happening is that the world is giving up its freedom for security (or at the very least the US is). The Bible says that once religion is mandated by law (and enforced by persecution) then the second advent of Jesus Christ will come. And that will be the end. No idea when that's supposed to happen though. 😬 If you don't believe in God or the Bible then you can also realize that then end isn't far off. The world is getting more and more bloodthirsty. More countries are making nuclear weapons. And some of them hate the rest of the world enough to not care if they destroy humanity. Its a scary time to live in. I don't think the world will last more than 200 more years if that.
Humanity may be wiped out but there will always be life on earth. I think i would be lucky if i managed to live out my whole life before the end (i am 15). Tbh i cant see us lasting much longer, i keep seeing humanity as some sort of graph thats reached its peak and has just started to drop since the 21st Century.

2012 is supposed to be a huge asteroid from what I've read, but who knows...As far as war and plagues, really, we've always had them. Check out your history. It could be said that compared to the middle ages, things are lookin up.
We were never able to create those things ourselves though, and we never had weapons that could destroy an entire city with one single blow. The US, Russia and China all have more then enough nukes to blow up the entire world...
And wars are not happening less. They still appear a lot, and a lot of the time it ends up killing entire civilizations... A few of our last wars were so bloody that they will probably be remembered for a long time, there is a reason for Hitler being called the new "Ghenghis Khan".
Still the end of the world? Don't think it will be that long away, if not because of nukes then because we are destroying the enirement... A new Ice Age will probably happen soon enough. Humanity is screwed whether we finish ourselves off or let somebody else do it, hardly matters...
I agree Fishy, and to back you up. The US alone has enough weapons to blow up the world 10 times over (or so the government has explained before). I believe that God will end the world soon enough. Things are not looking up at all. The fact that some of the 3rd world countries that hate EVERYONE ELSE have nuclear technology and weaponry should scare every last human being on earth. I don't know how the end will come, there are a lot of different possibilites. I guess we'll have to wait an see.

And which Third World countires are that?
I don't question the term "Third World", rather the idea
that these countries "hate EVERYONE ELSE".
North Korea and India,as well as Pakistan and others, just
have nuclear weapons to defend themselves, in the case
of North Korea, from an ever-threatening US.
Unless you're refering to their likelyhood of seeling such
weapons?
You are right.
It isn't what I meant but you made a good point. The likelyhood of someone who would use the weapons from a terrorist standpoint is more likely to get them from a country such as North Korea, Pakistan, and such.
For the most part, the point that ANY ONE has something that powerful (especially a country that is so willing to use them as the US has in the past) is a scary thought. 😬
