What is Happening For Our World ?

08/09/2010 12:59 PM

What is happening for our world these days ?

Global economic crises

Earthquakes

Fire and smog

Floods and earth slides

Dryness and food shortage

Wars and killing

Any one can add to this ?

The sequence of events almost simultaneous.

The way I see this is: This has gone on since the beginning of time, nothing new. The only thing that has really changed is our communications world wide. If a pig farts in China, we know about it within 5 minutes. This is the new part of the equation.

Re: What is Happening For Our World ?

Are you asking if the human race is going to Hell in a handbasket?

I have commented on this subject recently on CR4. The previous post by dgibson is partially correct. We do hear more in the news media about distant disasters then ever before.

The forces of nature that effect our planet, meteorological and geological, [and I don't want to turn this into a debate about global warming] have not significantly changed throughout human history. There have always been severe storms, floods, earthquakes, and volcanoes. The climate has always been changing in one part of the world or another for better or worse. What has changed is the effect that these natural events have on so many people. So much of the human population have been forced to live in places and in ways that make them vulnerable to the caprices of nature rather living in balance with nature.

What I want to consider is whether or not the human population is approaching the limit that this planet can support given our current technology. Is this the source for most of the problems we are facing today, political and economical?

I do not want to place blame. Certainly we in the west (Europe and North America) have been pigs for the past 300 years, raping the planet for the resources that have brought us to our current standard of living. Now China and India want to achieve this standard of living for themselves [which is ironic since for most of human history they were the most technological advanced cultures on this planet] Is there enough left to go around?

And what of the rest of the world? Most of these people, with a few rare exceptions, are suffering not just by a lack of resources, but by corrupt governments that care only to maintain power and wealth for a privileged few at the expense of the people that they should be serving.

So what is the solution? I don't know. If I did, I would declare myself as a candidate for God. It is up to all of us, especially this community of educated, intelligent, and creative humans to find one. If we can't, nature or the worst of human nature will, by war, famine, and petulance.

You have expressed it a lot better then I could, But what I find more worrying is that political systems rely on an expanding economy, more people and more developed resources, science may give them the answers, I hope so, but then again human nature being as it is, and remembering history in school, those that nurtured there resource's where invaded by the hordes? Lets hope history does not repeat itself?

Gringo - GA. Must take issue with "The forces of nature that effect our planet" - the word is affect.

Also I assume that the spell checker got you with "petulance" and that you meant "pestilence." On second thoughts, maybe petulance is correct when you think of some of our world leaders?

"Any one can add to this ?"

You want us at CR4 to add to this ? Isn't the world in a messy enough state without CR4 members and anonymous guests adding further mess to it? No thank you, we are content here.

Me? Content? Speak for your self Mate but to use the word content, in this context, is a bit.....well......rich. Sorry to have to disagree with you on this, Ky.

Well, while we are posting on CR4, we may be creating a local mess, but we aren't adding to the global mess are we ? That is the context in which i used 'content' here. Not to mean that i am content with life in general .... wouldn't mind owning a private plane and a lush island...

with internet connection so i can log on to CR4 of course

Actually, the real cause of all these problems are loony conspiracy theorists who claim that natural disasters that have been occurring repeatedly for millions of years are the work of a sinister hidden hand.

If these nutcases were to stop breathing, why, just imagine how much carbon emissions could be reduced.

I sometimes wonder if these "loony" conspiracy theorists actually believe their own crap.. A good example is lynden larouoche (a real nut case), have you ever heard of him... ALSO, i wouldn't be surprised that to know that they are actually doing it for the financial gains, more than their delusional goals..

Actually, these so-called loony conspiracy theorists are scammers out to con gullible fools with their bullshit. Just look at all the over-unity & HHO bullshit we get here all the time. I've lost track of the number of these @$$#Ø£€$ whose scams I helped exposed to the site administrators here, and yet they still keep coming.

Unfortunately, there are enough foolish people out there who choose to believe that these scammers' "free energy devices" will solve problems such as manmade climate change instead of believing scientists who publish papers stating that the sun is also entering into a cycle of increased energy output, hence warmer temperatures, or who ignore the fact that temperatures in densely populated urban environments will be hotter than temperatures in the countryside.

I had to study this for other reasons and maybe I can make a small difference in the end. There are numerous other sources of information on this and it can get very complex. Underrated topic and too real for the do-gooders. In the end they are the weakest link and discredit them selves more often than not, Ky.

"Der Zauberlehrling" (Poem) Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

Don't deceive your self Ky and others ,please read this:

LONDON - People travelling to India for medical procedures have brought back to Britain a new gene that allows any bacteria to become a superbug, and scientists are warning this type of drug resistance could soon appear worldwide.

Though already widespread in India, the new superbug gene is being increasingly spotted in Britain and elsewhere. Experts warn the booming medical tourism industries in India and Pakistan could fuel a surge in antibiotic resistance, as patients import dangerous bugs to their home countries.

The superbug gene, which can be swapped between different bacteria to make them resistant to most drugs, has so far been identified in 37 people who returned to Britain after surgery in India or Pakistan

London? Why only in London?

medical procedure? Cosmetic surgery or heart transplant or what?

New gene? who identified it when and at which lab?

Any bacteria? who identified it and at which lab?

scientists? Any names or institute?

warning? You mean a bored journo trying to fill some space?

drug resistance could? you mean it really could if it only wanted to?

World wide? And possibly all at the same time?

widespread in India? so not in Pakistan then?

You know by now what I am getting at, don't you? You seem to be the first but not the last to fall pray to a mass hysteria bug, created by said bored journo filling space in some paper. Its worse than over unity being proclaimed.

Deception? Me? I don't think so! Were did you find this piece of nasty work anyway? Ah yeah, London. What is happening in our world? With and in complete disrespect, Ky.

Sorry to say that but is my internal feeling.

then think twice about going to the hospital about that feeling.....anyway, super bugs have been here for quite some time. And Hospitals are the best incubator for these with trying to keep a sterile environment. Only the strongest (i.e. staph) survive.

Its interesting how they can fight it......at times by not fighting it....if it doesn't kill you first.

Watched a series about Darwin called Evolution - Disk 1 from Netflix

There's an extra piece about virus's and how they fight it.

You are turning into a real pest your self and I'm not sorry at all to say that. Why not start and tell us were this information you are spreading is from. Any source at all? Just from a tabloid maybe.

Stop spreading these half truth's if you don't know what you are talking about. Bloody scaremonger. Step back and learn, not indoctrinate the learned with such drivel. I am not saying that some bugs could exist but so what. What do you suggest? Stop the world so one can jump off.

Get a life and stop pestering the initiated with such nonsensical statements taken from ....where? More diligence, please, Ky.
