I think you are old enough that you are safe. I am a bit worried about my daughter and her yet to be born children, though.

I share your concern. I am very concerned about my daughters but even more concerned about my grandchildren.

When it comes to what I think may ultimately bring about the end of humanity as we know it, my Luddite fear is more focused on technology and how we are on a path where we as a people are finding out daily that we cannot responsibly metabolize and manage the rapid change.

I am very concerned about climate change and nuclear war but I fear technology will ultimately bring about the end of humanity. Now let me put back on my tin foil hat :cool:

I agree. What's really to stop AI from deciding humans are awful and taking over the nuclear weapons in the future and destroying the planet?

Put it in terms of something they might could do which is render the earth uninhabitable for humans. The earth itself will just shrug it off again. That always makes me laugh at the Save the Earth people. The supporters don't realize it doesn't need saving and the opponents and about half the supporters don't realize it's about saving their own asses.

I saw no reference in your "Columbus Dispatch" link that mentions anything remotely related to Obama's Iran nuclear deal.

And the author of your link is Ray Watford who is is a retired newspaper production director ??? :ROFLMAO:

Come on Calla ,surely you can come up with something better than that

Don't bet more on that than you can afford to lose. :rolleyes:
 
Three U.S. troops have died in this attack.

4 U. S. American contract mercenaries died leading to the BHENGAZI hearings .

13 U. S. military service members died evacuating us from Afghanistan, and families called for accountability as did GQPers in Congress.

Hopefully, Trump will keep the deaths to less than 13 or even better less than 4

Yep, mother earth will be just fine whether nuclear war, climate change, technology or something else takes out humanity.

but if there are survivors to whatever the calamity, they will be Cher and cockroaches 🥳
 
As far as the end of humanity, you'll have to admit it's been a nice run. We've come a long way baby. Some of us aren't dragging our knuckles too much anymore. Not breathing through our mouths. We've had some nice technological advances.

Born in 1959 I think I was very fortunate. Loaded with privileges (white, male, right-handed, 6'-2"), lower-middle class but was able to attend college with a College Foundation Loan.

I was born just in time for color TV and Central Air conditioning. Indoor plumbing everywhere (Didn't have to suffer through outhouses, or chamber pots). Enjoyed the absolute best era for music (Late 50's through early 1970's). Dean Smith.

I was born too late for Vietnam - didn't even have to register in 1977 (they had shut that down for a couple of years and I squeaked by).

Obviously things haven't been great for everyone on the planet the past 60 years +/-. Some folks in under-developed, so-called 3rd World countries (don't like that term really) haven't actually had cake and ice cream for their entire lives.

But for most Americans - and a lot of the developed (1st World) countries - these past 60+/- years have been pretty easy compared to other decades and centuries across the globe.

But, all good things must come to an end. Mankind/humanity just can't stay out of it's own way. Barbarians still, really. We still have quite a few mouth-breathing knuckle-draggers amongst us.

Somebody earlier (above) was right - Mother Earth will be just fine, thanks. No need to "save" her. Once she's rid of all of us, she'll come out smelling like a rose. Literally.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!
 
Outhouses sucked. So did taking a winter bath in a number 2 tin tub in front of a coal stove that was glowing red in an uninsulated house. You'd literally be freezing on one side and burning on the other.
