Didn't catch that. Is it airing again?

What were the top ways?

[Its a Plant]

Yeah, I caught some of it last night.

One guy had a quote that I found rather amusing: "We know it's going to happen, and I know I don't wanna be around when it does."

I think I'm with that guy. ~

[bentleygtgirl]

im going to be so pissed if im spending 27,000 a year for college if the world is just going to end in 20 years. thats bullshit :mad:

[Budman37]

that's my god damn birthday, why is something bad going to happen to it?

[pokin smot]

ur birthday is bad friday, thats pretty unlucky

[Oneironaut]

More sensationalist we're-all-gonna-die crap, huh? I don't get it, but apparently people like to whack off to end of the world scenarios and these kinds of shows get tons of viewers, which is why they make them in the first place. Giving people the dry, scientific truth that the end of the world is very unlikely in the near future doesn't captivate them the same way.

Umm, even if there was a God and the Bible was true, you'd still be wrong. Ever hear of something called the "Apocalypse"? Yeah, guess where that word came from? The Bible! Check out that whole Book of Revelation thing. You know, it's that one book at the end of the Bible that describes in detail how the world is going to end.

I couldnt even watch that show....Like thy really know anything...they just said pluto aint a planet anymore there stupid!!!!!!!!!!
Umm, it isn't. The International Astronomical Union, which decides what to call things in space, has recently ruled that Pluto is not a planet. If you have a beef with it, take it up with the IAU.

Oops, I'm sorry, let me write that paragraph in a language you can understand:

ummm it isnt the international astrological union which decides what 2 call things in space has recently ruled that pluto is knot a planet............................................ .if u have a beef with it take it up with the iau!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BabyFacedAbortion]

Oneironaut ... Totally unnecassary. I get your point but that was waaaay out of line..no need to mock, k?

The world ending? Oh well, I mean why stress out about it? There's nothing we can do about it anyway.

[Oneironaut]

Yeah, I'm sorry, it's just that I'm really getting annoyed at the destruction of the English language that is taking place on the Internet. That, combined with the lack of bud around here, has turned me into a raging grammar Nazi.

P.S. You spelled "unnecessary" wrong you stupid whore! AAAAAAAAAAAH! Calm down, Oneironaut...

I'm gonna go see if I don't have any resin to smoke. This sobriety stuff is pissing me off.

[friendowl]

this show had nothing to do with god
or any kind of spiritual crap
thsi was plain and simply what can happen
most likely its not but it could

for example
they were talking about
yellowstone national park
under yellowstone lies one of the
worlds most volcanic places
if that place blows up
its considered a supervolcano
the ash and debris from that explosion
would block out the sun which will trigger
other things to happen

in 2029 some asteroid is predicted to reach our atmosphere
and dip below communication waves
6-7 years later its on course to return even closer

[Sig]

I watched it.. and wrote them a letter.. There was a lot of bullshit science within it. it was pretty much a scare tactic. I was hoping there would be some NEW information in it, or at least something good, but there wasn't. It was just a big GLOBAL WARMING IS OUR FAULT AND WE"RE ALL GOING TO DIE SOON SO WE ALL NEED TO BE YUPPIES AND BUY ELECTRIC CARS AND DO YOGA propaganda bullshit video.

[zip]

hahaha TV IS BULLSHIT, whoever believes shit like that...AHAHAHAHAHA...AHHAHAHAHA...im not even high and these fools got me geekin..damn...what has this world come to..believe everything they see and hear...dumbasses

[Oneironaut]

if that place blows up
its considered a supervolcano

Did you know the word "supervolcano" was invented by the sensationalist docudrama writers? Before the BBC came out with the program Horizon in 2000 the term wasn't used by anybody.

[MaryJaneintheCloset]

Shit, I missed it! I wanted to watch it too... I wonder if they'll air it again?

[budsmoker]

yeah nobody has answered the damn question: will it air again?

i just laughed myself stoned

^^ no body knows anymore than you.... look it up your self. ^^

[birdgirl73]

I rather doubt that it'll air again, Budsmoker and MJitC. Those things don't tend to be re-run unless they're just hugely popular, and I'm betting that that show was enough of a downer that it won't be in huge repeat demand. You can almost certainly get a copy of it from the ABC Web site, though.

I thought the show was good but also depressing. Except for the special effects, which they used to graphically show some of the means of planet destruction, it wasn't all that sensational, I thought. Sure, the concepts themselves were scary and grabbed your attention. But they grounded all of what they said on how unlikely those scenarios are, at least during our lifetimes. Some of them, like an asteroid hit or a supervolcano or a black hole, might be possible within 10,000 years, they said. When it ended, I felt depressed but also fairly safe in the knowledge that I won't witness planetary destruction other than what we do to the planet ourselves in the form of global warming. That was the number one threat, and it's closer--and more certain--than any other threat we face.

I thought the strangest part about the whole show was the fact that it was hosted by Elizabeth Vargas, pregnant as can be, doing her last on-air work before going on maternity leave. It struck me as strange that a woman a month or so away from bringing a new life into the world would host a two-hour feature about the end of our planet. Seems like Barbara Walters would have been a better pick. At least she's closer to the jumping-off place!

[airdog81]

Very well put birdgirl73. I think they were just trying to tell people to be a little more considerate about the planet we live in. Most of the other scenarios, as stated, are very improbable. As for global warming, we are already seeing some effects of it all around the world. I don't need a scientist to tell me this. The show was kind of interesting though. ;)

[jamstigator]

There actually is a rock heading our way, but they've pretty much ruled out its hitting us, although it will come fairly close (quite a bit closer than the Moon, which isn't all that far itself). But even if it did hit, it wouldn't wipe out the planet, or even knock us back to the Stone Age. It isn't big enough.

Eventually a big rock will hit us though. 'Eventually' might be a long time, but still, one WILL hit us, which is why I'm a big proponent of establishing human colonies elsewhere than this planet. Odds are that we'll do ourselves in though, rather than have some natural disaster cause our end. Nuclear war, climate change, destructive nanobots turning the world into sludge, some crazy deadly virus we cook up, something like that.

[upinsmokeuk]

ameriacans knew about 9/11,moon landings are fake{ was set up in rosswell},ufo crashes,worlds under sea,tu pac still living it up,crocs in the sewers,full moons=media/propaganda. comets,craters,tsunamis,meateorites,black holes=true shit

[Dazed4now]

i wanted to see that
think theyll show reruns?

[pabloescobar209]

We only watch about 10% of the sky at any given time... meaning an asteroid could sneak up on us(espically from behind the glare of the sun) and we may have as little as a week before impact. There is also a volcano on the island of La Palma called Cumbre Vieja, and possibly the next time it eruptes half of the island will slide into the Atlantic sending out a massive Tsunami with wave heights as high as 500 meters when the reach the US east coast.

[friendowl]

it was just fun to watch
if you feel the need to justify
your existence go ahead
it was just cool watching earth blow up
entertaining two hours
take it how you want to

[benagain]

I didn't catch it, but I'm sure it's the same as everything else. Global warming blah blah blah.....asteroids blah blah blah....It's all the same. The world will end eventually. No use worrying about it, the fact that we thin we might be able to stop or change the natural cycle just shows our arrogance. If I had to choose, I'd have to bet on either asteroids or gamma rays. Either way, I'll be dead before I know what happened. I just hope I'm gone before the next global climate shift (its gonna happen). FL won't be so much fun when its frozen over.

[couch-potato]

People, don't listen to all this crap. This is the real problem we should be trying to solve! (http://galaxydoomed.ytmnd.com/)

[Budman37]

ummm sorry apocalypse does mean earth will end...if you read the book of revelations..you would know that God only destroys the evil on this earth and not the earth itself.....You need to study a little deeper into the greek language to understand that ummm dont you know there are 3 heaven and earth ages??? we are in the second one the book of revelation teaches that this second earth age will pass away( the one we are currently in) also but not the earth or terraforma itself just this earth age then the third age starts ..ummm havent you ever read that christ WAS IS and shall BE thats for the 3 ages...ummm get some weed and be happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey thanks man!

[Homesickblues]

Yeah thanx for the torrent maybe we can continue intelligent conversation on this

[DarkHorse014]

Hey you guys didn't hear the world ended on june 6th :rolleyes:

[Budman37]

The bible does the same thing...

Thats a scare tactic if there ever was one.

Thats it you got it....ACCORDING TO CHRISTIANS!!!!!!The Bible doesn't teach that but the wacked out churchy people do....and your right it is a scare tactic they use to try to get people in the church....Its amazing that people just listen to a guy in cloth and except what he believes instead of studing the scriptures correctly for themselves...Its kinda the same as those who dont smoke pot believe them idiots who never smoked it and think its bad for you....

[tyrantowns]

This planet has been "alive" for billions of years. Nothing will end it, so don't get your panties in a bunch.
Just smoke a bowl and enjoy. :stoned: .
