17 Nov 05 - 04:40 PM (#1607532) Subject: RE: BS: The End of the World From: Bill D Maybe all that snow IS the end of the world... Fire and Ice Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice. -- Robert Frost but probably not...surely they would'nt make us plow & shovel it first! |

17 Nov 05 - 06:05 PM (#1607601) Subject: RE: BS: The End of the World From: Little Hawk Well, the national stereotypes (American, Chinese, French, English, Russian, Australian) were typical, but amusing. How come we did not get to see a stereotypical Israeli, Indian, or Pakistani, though? They have nukes too. Or is it considered too politically sensitive to stereotype them? Yeah, probably... ;-) You can't say "boo" about certain people these days without raising a whole lot of shit and wishing you hadn't. Not even if you are a comedian. There are a lot of "hurting" people out there...people who have suffered or at least have heard of someone like them who did at some time in the past!!! DON'T make any jokes about them. Not one. Lennie Bruce would be in deep shit if he was alive now, that's what I'm guessing. |

18 Nov 05 - 11:13 AM (#1608219) Subject: RE: BS: The End of the World From: Georgiansilver O.K so the End of the world will come for us all at some time but don't always believe what you hear from others:- The following song is sung to the tune of "The Lincolnshire Poacher" I was shopping in the High Street, When a man came passing by. He handed me a leaflet, Which said "The end is nigh". It was terribly convincing, I was sure it must be right. It even specified the date, And gave the time of night. This meant of course my shopping list, Was suddenly all wrong. A months supply of anything, Was twenty days too long. I wouldn't need the batteries, To put in all my clocks. And when I bought detergent, Only chose the smallest box. In fact there was no point In doing washing after that. Likewise I cared no more about The thoughts of getting fat. Instead I just ate sweets And stuffed on curries like a pig. And the time appointed found me Smelly, bored, depressed and big. But when the time appointed came, Life went on as before. Except I'd cleared my bank account, And weighed a whole stone more. So now I spend my weekends, On the treadmill at the gym. And if I see that man again, The end will come for him. Best wishes, Mike. |

In the mean time, didn't we discuss ten possible "end of civilisation" scenarios here some time back? I searched for the thread using several different words, and nothing came up. Anyone remember? There were ten BIG thinkers who each gave their best guess for how it would all end. |

14 Dec 05 - 03:09 PM (#1627374) Subject: RE: BS: The End of the World From: Little Hawk The world of each ego ends when its body-mind dies. People just can't accept the fact that the world goes on without them (their body-mind, I mean). Thus, they are quite attracted to scenarios that suggest we will all go out together at one time! It's much more satisfying, specially when it suggests that all the "bad" people whom you don't like will be punished somehow. Now, where did Jesus ever say that after his death there would be a bunch of books written about him, those combined with the old Hebrew books, and that the resulting book (the Bible) would tell you all you need to know about everything? He didn't. I believe in Jesus and what he stood for and what he did. That doesn't mean I have to believe implicitly in every word in the Bible. Not in the least. It was not written BY Jesus. |

14 Dec 05 - 04:40 PM (#1627431) Subject: RE: BS: The End of the World From: Amos It was recently estimated by one author that 44% of the American electorate have a medium to high expectation that Jesus will come down to Earth and gather his church and lift them up to heaven WITHIN THEIR LIFETIMES. This makes for pretty irresponsible citizenship, seems to me. A |

14 Dec 05 - 04:49 PM (#1627437) Subject: RE: BS: The End of the World From: Little Hawk Well, and so have generations of Christians for a couple of thousand years now. From reading and believing in a literal interpretation of the Bible (certain parts of it)...or from taking some preacher's word for it. So far, they've all been mistaken. It did not happen in any of their lifetimes. Why would it be any different now? |
