With everything that is going on, (politics, the enviorment, population, crime rates etc.)  where do you think that the world is going to end up?

I have to believe that we are on a downward spiral. We are depleting the primeval rain forests which provide oxygen and burning fossil ie carbon fuels which produce carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, in addition to excreting sulphur which produces sulphurous and sulphuric acid. The westernised/civilised world is reluctantly taking small steps, but the 3rd world is increasing at an alarming rate.\nGlobal warming is a fact, and the result of this within this century will be frightening both in terms of sea-level rises and also hurricanes/typhoons/cyclones. Let us see what damage is caused in the Gulf of Mexico THIS year....

Yes.  Global Warming is occuring.  It will just keep getting worse if we don't take measures to try and prevent things from getting worse.

That is from H.G. Wells book. The future but a near one not too know when the end of the world is.

Yes, It is possible to someday have a "New World Order."  I mean this in the most positive way.  It will take time and some revolutionary type of thinking however.  I have traveled all over the world and I have found that we have more in common with people of the world than we have differences.  People want the same things--good health, happiness, economic opportunity, to raise a family, hope and just governance.  We are closer than many will lead us to believe. It will begin with a vision of common grounds regarding shared values and the continuous denouncing of evil and evil rhetoric.  Certainly, there is going to be hatred and contempt, but we cannot let a small minority of "Terrorists" threaten our very existence.  People are basically good and will choice good over evil once their primal needs are satisfied.  The problem with a world society is one of fairness to all people and sectors of the world.  This becomes a major obstacle to world peace and is probably the one thing that can prevent the evolution of governance to that level.  That notwithstanding--doesn't it sound a lot better to visualize world peace than to live in a world full of hatred and violence?  And a world in which we are united against those who create chaos.  I could envision a day when we are governed by a board of our peers that are responsible for ensuring just and competent governance.

Well what you mean as no anything is most likely everything just ended? Then i'm afraid that society's fear wouldn't really matter and the whole existanve would be, most likely, put into a black void..millions of years of solitude until evolution brought about another human or something along the lines of that. The end is just the ending of a chapter to something else. We are, tehcnically unimportant and acute to something bigger. It's a cycle i suppose.\n\nI'm not sure if i fully comprehended your question but that's what i understood and thats what i wrote so yeah.good question

Probably not. I think the end will come from environmental destruction causing melting of the ice caps, then, when the balance of the planet is thrown off enough, the earth will change its axis of rotation ( as it has done several times already according to the geologic survey ). This will be devestating to all life on the planet and the earth will be reborn.

considering all the activism on saving certain species of animals, conserving enrgy and such that has been going on, i think more people will be aware of all the things that we have on earth that need to be saved.  although, i don't think life will get much better.  there will be a lot more abused children and neglected children, since hardly anyone cares what their children do anymore now, and those kids are going to grow up and do the same thing, because they have never been taught better.  i am curious what will be big in music.  techno maybe? i think if it hadn't happened already by that time, a nuclear war will be coming around then, because of all you hear about terrorism and nuclear weapons and the dangers today.

THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT WOULD COME OT AN END

Sure.\nBut the main thing to remember is that whether the world comes to an end in our lifetime or whether we just die of natural causes, then either way to us, there is no more world.\nThe end.

Good, Evil, whatever. It's all a matter of perspective. Let's just hope that everyone gets killed, then we won't have to worry about it anymore.
383122
Yes there will be, and it will be sooner than that!\nThis country needs to catch up with the rest of the world!

This very well may be the start.  If it is, there will be annihilation beyond comprehension. There will be a few survivors in remote areas who will repopulate the earth.\n\nThat is; after the earth heals itself.

I believe it's predicted by the Mayan calendar in December of 2012 the world will end.  Hopefully it won't though.  *crosses fingers*

The world will not come to a end.\n\nMat 24:3  And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? \n\nThe word "world" (aiōn) in Greek means "an age, a dispensation".\n\nThe end of this flesh age is coming. Everyone will be in their spiritual body.\n\nTIME NO LONGER\n\nRev 10:6  And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: \nRev 10:7  But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

Society's downfall has been predicted with alarming regularity since the beginning of civilization. Those "old days" were not as "good" as folks make them out to be, as brown eyed bohemian pointed out.\n\nWhile we have more ways of destroying our planet than ever, I don't think we're quite ready for "Armageddon" just yet. While the disappearance of the US middle class is a chilling development, it's not the biggest we face.\n\nClimate changes prompted by global warming will make it tougher for BILLIONS of people to have any quality of life at all. People (especially in the wealthier nations like US and Europe) will have to get politically active locally and nationally to get their leaders to follow the proper course. Just as important, we will need to network on an informal basis with our counterparts in other countries. Keep on the good foot. Cincypix.

Well, it depends on your definition of "end." Are you referring to when humans can't live here anymore? Do you mean when the planet itself is utterly disintegrated? Are you referring to a Biblical apocalypse?\n\nTo any of these conditions, no one can say. However, to the first one listed, our continued destruction of the environment continues to lead to more polluted air, ground, and water. And, while the melting of the ice caps will raise water a great deal and wipe out coastal cities and land, it certainly can't cover the entire planet. Stubborn as humans are, we'll probably find some way to survive through technology if we mess things up that badly, which would be extremely sad to have destroyed such beauty. We also might start a nuclear war that kills everything but cockroaches, but the planet itself would still be here. \n\nCondition two, where the planet is disintegrated, could be brought about by several ways, as well. A large comet, asteroid, or meteor might smash into earth, breaking it apart and causing it to no longer technically be a planet. When the sun finally goes nova (estimated to be 5 billion years away), if it reaches this far out, which his possible, it would swallow the earth, likely blowing it to bits. Then there's always the "Hitchhiker's Guide" route, where we'll be destroyed for an intergalactic highway.\n\nAs for the Bible, only the Father knows. Not even Christ knows when it'll happen. People have been incorrectly interpreting the signs for hundreds of years, so all the tabloid doomsday people are probably just as wrong now.\n\nIn short, no one can see the future, and you're right. We don't take good care of our planet. We really should appreciate it more while we still have a planet to enjoy! Who knows, tomorrow someone might throw a nuke, so go out and enjoy earth! And just in case someone doesn't start World War III, go and take care of it, too, so that generations far into the future can look back on this time and say, "Wow, look at all they did for their children and their children's children," instead of, "How on earth could they be so selfish and uncaring?"

I agree with it and I think it will happen. It already has in more enlightened countries and the US will follow eventually.
