Sad, sad future ahead.

Even if we *want* to believe that they are wrong about *when* these battles may will take place, the undeniable fact is that, with things going on the way they are going, these battles seems to be unavoidable.
Lets pray for our children. Its all we can do now.

Excuse the video but ped, listen to the words and whistle my friend

Ya can't stop the freight train of industry. People like to live in luxury and the world is getting more crowded and the need for energy is increasing. Just sit back and enjoy the ride

I was reading something a 'think-tank' put out (I think the Rand Corporation?) that said with what was formerly considered the 'endless bounty' of the oceans resources being dangerously depleted by over-harvesting, as well as skyrocketing population growth, that the likelihood that our children will one day be fighting wars over fresh water & food were approaching nearly 100% regardless of any climate change factors being included in that determination.

I think that at the very least we need to strive for 0% population growth. That won't solve the problems we have, but may give us enough time to come up with solutions to them.

Just my 2 cents...

There may be global warning and I mean maybe, as it's a hotly debated topic by several scientists. If you were to look at true facts you would learn a lot. Some scientists think that there is no warming.

Several facts indicate that there may be a shift in the wheather patterns, it has happened thoughout the history of the earth. To think that puny mankind can actually change wheather patterns is not good.

Another fact is that if a volcano erupted it would spew more crap in the atmosphere than all of mankind including cars and everthing since the 1800s. Volcanos erupt all the time do they not?

Look at how al gore got rich off this global warming, several big gigantic houses that use more electricity than hundreds of us combined.

PED, you have a valid point about the future. It's going to be nasty. Mankind killing each other, trashing our beautiful planet with garbage strewn all over the place. I firmly believing that taking GOD out of our country, our schools and our life's is going to reek havoc on earth.

Shifting wheather patterns yes but global warming is a myth. Is the world in trouble, yes yes and yes.

I would be more worried about Irans nuclear program and the terriosts.

Davy,

As much as I respect you in the Dog Fight game, you have to be incredibly ignorant to believe that global warming is a myth. Weather patterns don't just change because man has a little bit to do with it, Weather patterns, rising temperatures, and ozone depletion is the solely caused by man plus a little bit of Earth.

Iran's Nuclear Program and Terrorists: I won't deny that these are important topics. But let's be realistic. If Iran was to nuke Israel or the US. What do you think will happen? They will be completely gone, burned up within seconds. That's the power of our nuclear arsenal (no one should have nukes but nonetheless we do). Plus, I seriously doubt Iran will be capable of developing a bomb, when they are working towards energy production. There are sanctions in place to prevent this from happening as well. And in spite of Netanyahu's consistent promise that red liens are being crossed, Terrorism: Consider this... Only 15 Americans died from terrorist attacks last year. But 300,000 died from Obesity related causes! 600 billion dollars allotted to unnecessary wars, when only 12 billion or less funding obesity, heart disease treatment (this stat may need to be checked on). There are plenty of issues financial,social, political, and economic that could be solved with money going else where other then needless and often pointless wars.

Again, my opinion. You're a great guy, but Global Warming my friend is most certainly not a myth. Bush said that, and now we are experiencing weather, rising oceans, melting icecaps, and earthquakes that we've never seen before. (Yes earthquakes are a result of global warming).

Respectfully,
Congress

Nukes will be great if we have astroid problems.

And Gentlemen,

To reply to the overall topic of this discussion, the time is not now to be praying for the future of our children, now is the time to be making change for the future of YOUR CHILDREN. Only if Americans can become happier, become more trustworthy of each other, more accepting of each other, less partisan, and open to new ideas, will your Children's future be secure. I here too many adults in scouts when I have this conversation say "I hope it will all work out, or I just want to retire." That isn't how it works. You may absolutely pray, I'm not saying don't, but there is no need to pray if what you can do now will make a difference (even though you may not directly see it).

Smile, be brave, and be open. I charge you this. You will find that the world is full of good and bad people, but mainly good people who contribute to society in many meaningful ways. Let us not pray just yet, but let us find the motivation to get up and take action, and make sure that your children will have the future and life that you've had. Thank you for your attention.

Congress

Well actually, they now say that if we detonated an asteroid with nuke and made into many pieces. Just more big huge pieces of asteroid would hit the Earth causing more devastation and destruction.

Great idea, but I don't know if it will work.

The idea would be exactly that. Split the astride into smaller chunks. You might get lucky and split it so it all burns up rather than end up with the whole thing whipping out an entire country.

I'm going to make sure that you don't sit at the computer that makes the missile go boom! LMAO!!

I know what ped means... I don't know where y'all live but, here on Brazil, the children's perspective r too narrow, looking to the situation of the public schools and ur obsolete methodology, plus the media (extremely sensationalist) who glorifies "easy lifers" (malandros in portuguese), despiting the hard workers which carries this country on their backs... The only thing what I can expect is a better education to our children. Education is the basis for a better future.

P.S.: Dale CRUZEIROOO!

THe Brave

Good morning CONGRESS. You seem to be smart young man, let me make a few comments.

First, goggle the UN REPORT ON GLOBAL WARMING. This report is being released today in Washington DC. This report will tell you what myself and others who have done a Lot of research knows. Shifting weather patters have alway been a part of earth and will always be. Their is no global warming and mankind cannot change the weather patterns. Shifting weather is probably happening, we cannot stop that. We can however stop all the garbage and trash we are putting in the oceans, lakes and in the ground. That is bad stuff.

Iran has said several times that they are going to bomb Israel, they have even said that it is their responsibility to start the next war. They are actively trying to produce the BOMB and our sanctions are useless. This can be googled.

Yes there is a need to pray, this country is a mess and sliding downhill quickly. It is hard to have meaningful talks when if you disagree with someone you are then labeled a HATER, HOMOPHOBE or a loony toon. This stifles meaningful talk or great discussions such as this. The ones who cry about about tolerance are the least tolerant.

I have just finished the best book i ever read called RESURRECT, BY DAVID STEVENS. Great book about a fighter pilot who dies in a crash and is giving a new body by someone unknown to save the world from a incoming asteroid. Best book i ever read. You will not be disappointed. A lot of action about fighters, covert missions and lasers.

Thanks CONGRESS, great discussion dude, keep it up.

Thanks for the heads-up Davy on RESURRECT by David Stevens.. after looking it up it is definitely on my 'must read' list.

I think I have the solution..world wide dogfight strategy...supply all dignitaries and world leaders with a copy of df, summit consists of
DF wars tea and coffee......world super league of DF....all aggression gone......zuperman world leader.......simple..

I will have to give my response after school

Have any of you guys been to Wisconsin the last few years? Trust me, global warning is only an issue down south, folks.
But a few thoughts on the future of our children.
We need to get rid of public schooling. Trying to fit all our children into a box, trying to teach them the exact same way, and letting themexperience bullying, evolutionary BS (the idea that humans are glorified animals) and then telling them NOT to kill themselves and that they ARE unique and special is just not an idea that really adds up. Plus, by the time you're fifteen, it's not about your grades, it's about how many people you can get naked. Plus, then the parents aren't allowed to teach their own children how to live. The children grow up believing whatever the f**K the government wants schools to teach. If parents try to do anything, they are "bigoted, old fashioned, and against progress." THAT'S the real problem.
WE need to get rid of pop music and fashion. The idea that mini-skirts, yoga pants, topless selfies, and living like a prostitute is a "teenage dream" (to quote Katy Perry) is completely removing all decency and morality from society.
Hitler did it best. Once you have the children, you have the nation. Just give it a few years and a "divisive cause", and the next generation is screwed. I'm a seventeen-year-old, & even I can see this.
Global warning might be a issue, it might not. But either way, our world is doomed

I see that your motto fits you perfectly. Nott normal and but weird. Good luck trying to change clothing.

The world was doomed from the start lol. Eventually the sun will run out of fuel.

I do not think the world is doomed anytime soon. We are going to have some rude a wakings that is for sure but that does not mean we are doomed. Heck humanity has survived through ice ages, large astroid strikes, great floods which has been proven to have happened through other means then god for the atheist out there. We can adapt. We may not like it but we can do it.

Davy's says, hey CONGRESS back in the 70s they said we were all being destroyed by global cooling. This is all just using the changing weather patterns to instill fear upon the people. Helps them to get more power.

Let's blame China, North Korea, France, and Syria for all this! I have a good idea though. Canada, U.S (When It's entirely Republican), U.K, Germany, Japan, and Australia overtake all the trashy countries who destroy the world. All the counties above are nice. Look at my thing under my picture and thing at bottom and see who I think is the nicest. They can fix it!

Hey Davvy,

I typed up a really awesome and long response to your comment. Then the session timed out and I lost everything. So, I will re-write it another time. But I intend to respectfully debate your points at another time.

Congress

Okay,

Davy, you make some really good points about Global Warming, terrorism, and our nation and such.

In regards to Global Warming: You are correct, it is a natural process in the Earth's history. The earth will periodically warm and cool. However, the earth didn't know that it would have about 7 billion people with gas cars and burning coal plants. So, in this aspect, global warming and everything that comes along with it is accelerated, a fact that the UN Report seemed to confirm (you may need to send me a link, cause I don't know if I got the right one).

When I was replying to Pedrinho's remark on a sad sad future and that we need to pray for our children this is where I differ. I'm not an overly religious man, although I am a bar mitzvah of the Reform Judaism. So, I know religion in the Jewish sense. But, growing up as a young teen/adult, I've realized that religion will never be able to physically bring about the change that our country and the world needs to evolve and continue to be successful.

You are right, our country is having some big problems, but it isn't heading down a bad road. You have to be an optimist to instill change, and to recognize the inherent goodness of others. Only then will the Americans, become more trustful of themselves, bipartisan, and most importantly happy.

Terrorism, global warming, corruption, left v. right, etc. These are all issues that I'm confident the American public will need to get over and will accomplish in time. Just as we have always demonstrated throughout our history.

When I say let us not pray for our country, I state that because praying will not make the change you would want to see this country enjoy. It starts out with meaningful action, involvement in our government, and education. Praying brings hope, but action brings about change. You need a combination of both. But the change is something I firmly believe in of which we need the most.


Congress

Thanks to all people that replied.

By the way, I present you guys another brasilian: AuldEnemy. A good player, nice guy, and more important: he is another Cruzeiro fan! Treat him well, guys.

About the thread's subject, I need to say one thing: I didn't express myself well enough. I don't want to enphasize the "fighting/war" side of that news, cuz I think that the probable army struggles that can advent from those reasons are not the biggest problem. I want to call your attention for the REASONS that can lead nations to wars / fights / sanctions. And the reasons are what scares me: famine, lack of resources, lack of food and lack of water (not mentioning the undeniable fact that, for the rich become richer, many other people needs to be poorer, its mathematical logic).
So, I really don't care about wars, because, at the time those wars take place, we will be already DOOMED, our children will be already lost. I don't like to write it, but I see no solution for the nasty times we are going to face. So, for those who use to pray, lets pray please - we have no other solution.

I am crying now, Davy. Really.

I'm not exactly sure what this thread is about, but I'll give my input.

On the topic of global warming, I remain largely indifferent. This does not mean I don't have environmental awareness, however. I agree that we have a responsibility to take care of the world we live on.

That being said, the uncertainty of the well-being of our earth isn't what scares me most. It's the people who live on it that do.

I hate war. It's taken more friends and family than I would wish to think. I could even argue that war is unnecessary. Like Pedrinho said, we should focus on the reasons why these things begin. But, the higher-ups of every nation send young men and women to fight their political battles. It's one of those things that need to be done, simply because someone has to do it.

I'm not going to lie; I'm terrified of what's Over There. I'm dreading the day when they tell me that we're starting work-ups. Not for my own well being, but of those around me. My father told me that his only regret was that he couldn't save everyone.

So the best we can do is pray.

The best we can do is by getting an education and participating in the democracy made for us.

Long term, of course. But like Pedrinho said, once wars begin, we are already doomed.

So heres my input...yes I believe in global warming BUT not not in this time period.. "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."(2Peter3:10) so yes then but right now, I believe they are just pushing a bunch of crap...
Once Iran starts using nukes, it wont stop...til someone does something about them..
Sorry to pull the Bible into this...it just got me thinkin...
