Alecu  +  226554 Thu, 18 May 06 05:18 PM The facts are pretty simple: we have floods and drought, bird flue, pollution, global warming, deforestation, terrorism and nuclear weapons, starving, overpopulation and ...the list is still open. Besides that, we will finish our reserves of oil, natural gases and coal very- very soon. In tiny countries like mine, a general and very popular opinion is "They have a solution for that!” "They" is a very vague term, but most often it refers to USA. Well, my dears, WAKE UP! "They" don't have a solution and there is no any magical way to solve these problems. So... How many years until THE END? Alecu Joined on Thu, Nov 3 2005 New Member 05

I think that they should take care about environment (what about Kyoto?!),other sources of energy,and concentrate on those things that are really important,our health and happiness,to build a better future for the next generations,etc,but I even think that they'll continue to do their own interests,to care only about how to have more power and how to make more money. Finally,as far as I am concerned they'll understand the importance of life,environment,love,brotherhood,etc when it'll be too late.That's all..

	Alecu  +  227384 Sun, 21 May 06 02:07 AM "I think that they should take care about environment (what about Kyoto?!)" Nyla, just two short comments about  Kyoto. 1.This protocol is an agreement between the parts who signed it, a commitment to decrease emissions of greenhouse gases by 5,2% compared to 1990 level.  Well... at that time (in 1990) my "beautiful" country, Romania, had a lot of the old industrial monsters (created by the awful socialist economy in more than 40 years)  still in function. Of course, as now we have a market economy,  they are piece of history (they were closed, first of all - because these colossuses were not economically feasible). Therefore, somehow against our wishes, we reduced the greenhouse gases  by more than 5,2% compared to 1990. "Very nice form you!", you could say. Well, no... because there is a stupid "pollution units" thingy that we could sell. Believe it or not, WE'VE SOLD OUR RIGHT TO POLLUTE THE EARTH TO HOLLAND (2 billion Euros, good business!) And it's not illegal, it's an open market - countries buy and sell just like on any  other market. 2.Was never ratified by the USA. Alecu

	Nyla  +  227572 Sun, 21 May 06 08:25 PM 2. Was never ratified by the USA. Don't tell me! (It is irony!) Frankly,one day they'll understand their political/social/environmental mistakes.. Believe it or not, WE'VE SOLD OUR RIGHT TO POLLUTE THE EARTH TO HOLLAND (2 billion Euros, good business!) And it's not illegal, it's an open market - countries buy and sell just like on any  other market. Don't tell me! (It's not irony now!) I didn't know about your country situation,it is really bad!

	Jhumjhum  +  227689 Mon, 22 May 06 06:17 AM I think that day is not far away. Increase of population which is related with destroying forests, increase of  factories.and conveyances and many other things that create environmental polution and global warming .People are not concious or aware of these things.We ourselves are  pushing the world towards destruction Jhumjhum Joined on Thu, Mar 2 2006 Regular Member 609 It is easier to disintegrate an atom than one's prejudice-Albert Einstein

	Siggy  +  227893 Mon, 22 May 06 10:45 PM The problem with the topic of "The End" is that unfortunately people have been predicting "The End" for thousands, of years. Armageddonbooks.com seems to have a fair selection of materials on End Times - though I suspect they are hoping you'll get your orders to them pretty soon Fascination with "The End" is an interesting psychological phenomenon and worthy of some study. Richard Abanes' End Times Visions: The Road to Armageddon is worth taking out of the library. He looks at lots of different predictions of End Times, all of which have proved to be spectacularly wrong - evidenced by the fact that we are still here. Anyone who sincerely believes that "The End" is imminent should feel free to contact me personally and send me their worldy goods as quickly as possible. This will ensure that you will not die as "a rich man" and find it hard to enter "the Kingdom of God." I will take that burden of wealth upon myself and sacrifice MY eternity for yours.
