With oil prices rising due to the fear of war with Iran.
Weakness in the dollar
The market doing bad.
Housing is really tanking right now$.
Pakinstan/Venezuela instability.
Job market seems very flat.
US/Russia starting a old cold war nuclear arms race.

I can honestly forsee oil rising 130+ very quickly because its only going to get worse.
The dollar will lower even further.
The upcoming conflict somewhere at the end of the year 08.


What do you forsee happening in the future?
 
I think Bush and congress should pull the trigger on Iran. I am sick of their bullshit and its time to make them pay.

Really though, if I were in charge, I'd just drop a bomb on the middle east and call it a day. Blow them off the map. All they do is fight holy wars because they can't accept the fact that not everyone worships the religion they do. I am sick of it.

So, the best way to stop their intolerance is to show our intolerance of their religion?

There is a real opening for a hero right now. This presidential election could be one of the most important in our history.

This is some awesome satire.

So it's wrong to be intolerant of intolerance?

So you're saying that if Christianity says homosexuality is wrong, it's wrong to be intolerant of that supposed "intolerant" viewpoint?
 
No, I am serious.

Iran is a threat to security and freedom world wide. Why continue to let them be a potential deadly threat when we can just eliminate them?

I would compare it to having a tire with lower air pressure than your others. You know its there, but you ignore it thinking nothing will happen if you just leave it alone. Then all of a sudden it blows out, and you are fucked.

I think it was funny enough with the first post, now you're kind of over-doing the joke.

So you propose we nuke the tire? what?
 
If you are really phobic...technically most countries are threat to security because everyone has there own agendas (including U.S.)

Learning to coexist is probably a better idea..

However, just like regular society sometimes there criminals that must be removed from it. If this guy is a leader of a society they can cause a ton of suffering.
 
FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST CAN WE GET A FREAKING APOCALYPSE ALREADY

For serious, the only reason I haven't killed myself yet is I want to see the world burn around me. And I'm starting to wonder if it will ever happen. Every day it's DOOM DOOM DOOM and yet nothing ever happens!

The problem with this thought process is it pretends that each country is in it's own vacuum. For us to use nukes tells everyone else, especially those countries that are gaining power, that nukes are a solution. We all effect eachother.

A risky governmental plan to make the national debt vaguely payable.
 
I think if we nuked Iran. There would a escalation of other countries nuking there enemies. Like Pakistan radicals nuking India. India Nuking Pakistan.

Or maybe Russia says thats enough and nukes U.S. (Putin is crazy enough)

Oh shut up.
 
I forsee it being the same as it ever was but with more people bitching.


If our generation (with thier cynical minds and weak hearts) lived through the great depression and WWII, we would have never stood a chance. Pussies.
 
Yeah, let's be the first country to ever commit nuclear genocide. That's a great legacy to leave to our posterity. At least future generations will know not to fuck with America, I guess.
 
Magic Mile is serious business. And doesn't really think about the consequences of his actions other than the immediate effect that he eradicated peoples. (READ: LOL at Magic Mile)

Well thank god I'm Australian! Nobody wants to nuke us yet ^__^;; (fucking kangaroos)

When we learn to use kangaroos instead of fossil fuels to power our cars we'll be coming for you.

i give you two possible responses from myself:

1. I see you are trying to be the next drinky or anihawk, just give up. they do it far better than you, you'll never catch up...

OR

2. We don't really appreciate Pat Robertson/Dicky Cheney types of folks around here. Leave us, go screw your sis or sumthin


...TAKE YOUR PICk

Oil prices aren't rising due to fear of war with Iran.

What's the #1 supplier of crude oil? Canada.
What currency used to be worth ~0.70 USD, and now is worth 1.07 USD and rising? Canadian Dollars.

It isn't that complicated.

Iran is a petty third world nation that we shouldn't be putting sanctions on or give a flying fuck if they have nuclear. The Soviets had tons of nukes, and we never went to war. Why the fuck should we care about Iran?
 
anything sounds bad when you say it with that attitude...

So, umm, why dont you enlist in the ARMY and go kick some Iran ass?
 
Not really that surprising considering we've not had a sound foreign policy for a number of years now. Which, when combined with some of the trends in the economy that have been going on for years, only makes the economic fallout that much worse. I don't foresee things getting any better anytime soon since foreign policy can't be turned around overnight, particularly with an administration that's hellbent on a my-way-or-the-highway approach, and there's not much that can be done on the economic side of things, short of largely letting the chips fall where they may.

If I had to look into my magic 8-ball, I'd wager it'll be a craptastic holiday shopping season for retailers (which probably means increasingly better deals being offered), a tight season for consumers, who likely won't change a thing with regards to their behavior and still expect things to somehow turn in their favor, and foreign policy being largely "as is" without some real leadership from the Europeans, since it won't be coming from our side of the pond. That said, I suspect gases prices will rise in the short term but ultimately stabilize and come down to around $3 on a national average, perhaps just a bit under, barring any unforeseen further political conflagrations in the Middle East. As for the market, it'll likely bounce back up; I don't think it'll continue to tank with any real substantial amount. Buuuuut, that's just my wild guess.

As for Magic Mile, just ignore the doucherocket.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki ring any bells ?

60 years later and this generation seems to have forgotten already.

wow? really?

I mean...really?

So...if Iran see the USA as a threat to security and freedom for the middle east the only logical thing to do is them to trowh a nuke at the USA rigth?

If you really think like that and think the lives of a lot of people worth nothing, you are an idiot.

Besides, nuking the middle east is gonna fix the dollar and the jobs?
 
I'd love to see oil get so expensive that it just cripples the economy. If anything is going to save the planet, it's rich asshats not being able to sell their 100-year old tech anymore.
