Trouble is always coming. More so if you look for it.

Anyone watching Attilla The Hun's army approaching knew trouble was coming. Watching Idi Amin's troops coming in Uganda, the people knew trouble was coming. Anyone watching Napoleon or Hitler's armies approaching knew trouble was coming.

Rain is also always coming. Sunshine is always coming. Happiness and joy are always coming. Waves, birds, babies, horses are always coming.

The stork that hides his head in a hole does not see anything coming.

A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished. Proverbs 22:3

I think you mean the ostrich that hides its head. :duh2: Storks "bring babies."

At least we got you moving from the Book of Revelations to Proverbs.

I do not think the world will end in 2012 but anyone watching world events knows trouble is coming.

The world may not end exactly 2012, but regardless if 2012 spells disaster or not "even if it was not any more recognizable from every year before it" It's been a long time now since any world wide "problem" came up and I think were behind schedule😱oo:. War in the middle east, starving people all over the world, hurricanes, earthquakes and uprisings. All of these things are the very nature of earth they have always happened and will always happen to the end🙁. However it has been a while since a world war, or things to that nature have happened and the world is unstable enough to just fall off the edge. The end of the World? No, I don't think so, that's what the people living through WWI thought and life went on, but it's been a long time since then, and like I said were overdue……



1,000 Post:party:! Finally😛.
And 1.70 post per day.

I'm looking at post 101 by LightWalker and it say's he has 666 posts. A bit sinister for someone who is quoting the bible isn't it ?

Of course, as soon as he replies the number will change but it's there now.

Quite funny that the room, sorry, thread post number is 101. Very Orwellian. Linked with the 666 post..... i don't know what to say.

Many people here have had 666 post at one time including yourself.
 
A Boy and His Dog. A great story. When I saw it was made into a movie, I rushed out to see it. It was a truly awful movie. I'm sure the author was embarrassed (Harlan Ellison?). I think Don Johnson was in it:crackup:.

Damnation Alley was also a great read that flopped as a movie.
Is post Apocalyptic movies included in this thread?

LOL, yeah it was Don Johnson! So funny.

I think we are lumping all the Doomsday, Apocalyptic, Post-Apoc, etc.

Have to include Battlestar Galactica, although if I could have one final night with Tricia Helfer before being obliterated, that would be as close to Heaven as I could imagine.

Threads came out when I was ten and it really freaked me out. No other Doomsday movie comes close to portraying the horror of surviving a nuclear IMHO. It is a British made for TV flick. The American made for TV counterpart, The Day After, is like an after school special compared to Threads.

Why can't I find this movie "Threads" on Netflix? They have everything, even "The Car"😀!

The devil is under my feet.

Don't blame :devil: for your lack of control.
 
LightWalker-I'm not sure if I should thank you for that link.I've only seen Threads once (back in the 80's) and as I recall once was too much.Pretty startling stuff back in those days.I may watch it again.Maybe by today's standards it may not be as bad as I remember.

I just watched parts of it tonight. I seen the Day After in the 80's also and it was very disturbing. Reality is that a city was destroyed by an atom bomb in the 20th century and the potential for it to happen in the 21st century is great.

Whether or not the government will take over, aliens will attack, Nuclear war happens, meteors hit the earth, or my Lincoln Continental Mark IV pollutes so much that all the ice caps melt. I believe that around 2012 SHF will still happen. Why? Well look at that stupid Y2K panic, it would only take even the stupidest person 5 seconds to figure out that is didn't make sense, but look how bonkers people went "stock piling and stuff" all because they though their computer wouldn't work.

It was based on fact, the early financial systems were on computers with limited binary coding... nobody knew exactly how the system clock ticking over to '00' would effect them, hence people made sure they had "cash" on hand and a few extra necessities being prudent isn't bonkers! :thumbsup:
