Supposedly when the clocks in most computers hit 2000 everything was going to start over.
At this time there was also huge hype about armagadeon and how the world was going to end the instant 2000 hit. I think some people thought that the anti-christ was going to come and the whole biblical armagadeon mumbo jumbo was going to take place
We're all still here. 😕
ooh.. ok thanks 😄
actually since most of the people here live in places like uk an america n stuff, u really dont get that this conflict wridden world is just a powder keg ready to be lit, unlike us folks most people in the world dont live the lives of peace and enjoyement that we do, people are desperate and its quiet possible that any one of them could start somethin thatll lead to a war, consider this, there are hundreds of thousands of kilograms of enriched uranium and plutonium in russia right now many of it in isolated facilties which have no1 guarding them and are only locked by a padlock!!!!!!!{this is a FACT believe it or not} and it is quiet easy to get this stuff trust me and in considerable amounts, now consider that the average university physics student {of the third world} has enough knowledge to easily build a dirty nuclear device if given this nuclear fuel and other basic equipment{which can be supplied my hundred's of thousands of organizations worldwide}, so if sum1 gets their hands on this dirty nuke and explodes it in lets say newyork, do u have any idea what thatll spark off, ill tell u, a ****in world war and believe me, america will not hesitate to use force{includin nukes} against whoever it suspects or wants to destroy. this is just 1 out of a million situations that can happen.
all im sayin is that we live in a time where even the poorest of countries can easily have{and do have} hidden nuclear programmes, and considering just how many relegious extremists and stupid politicians{like bush} this world is run by{and add to this all the other things like enviornment that are gettin worse} humanity will be lucky if it even sees the dawn of the new century{and one more thing the politically ACCEPTED amount of OPERATIONAL nukes that russia alone has have the potential to destroy the whole of the earth over 36 times[living and non living things inclueded] so sayin that a nuclear war cant destroy humnanity is stupid}
