Is mankind really coming to an end?

I just wanted to say this first, I don't know if there is another topic post about what I'm going to start because I don't wanna sit here and waste my time looking to see if there is something like it or similar haha :thumbsup:

Alright we all know this is the year 2009..I hope we all do haha :jointsmile: Now the whole rumor about the end of times 2012 is becoming a huge conversation starter these days, whether you believe in it or not I'd hope you'd at least read the rest because this is not what this topic is completely about.

Now you all have heard that Micheal Jackson passed on, that same day Farah from the old Charlies Angels passed on that morning just before Micheal did. Now we all know that her condition was terminal but two famous celebrities leaving in one day in two different places kinda make me wonder and think, think a lot!

Recently Billy Mayes passed on too, you know the annoying oxy-clean commercial pitchmen that we have seen for years and years?? Also he was stared in Pitchmen that new t.v. I believe it was programed on MTV?? I don't watch t.v. that often. Anyways even all before of these well known people I can only recall one person that passed on months ago his name was Paul Newman, also there we're I believe a couple more but I can recall right off hand.

Could all of this be coincidence? or is there really something going with our best friend we call Fate?? Is everyone who is worth living faking their deaths and everyone is playing it all off as if He/She died so that they can go into hiding for some reason that we all don't know what for?? I know people die every single day, and it has been like that for years we all know that, you basically are born to die. But such in recent times there has never been so many well known people who have died within such a small time frame. I'd sure like to know what is going on. This all could be just Fate playing the game that it's been playing for years, or maybe it is something a little more then what we're "Suppose" to know :wtf:

I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist but there has been a lot of weird things going on lately going on in the "Land of the Free" and other parts of the world. I'm sure if you all have watched the news, cnn, videos on youtube you might have heard something about the New World Order? If you haven't and you have time to take a gander into this crazy ordeal then by all means go for it..:thumbsup:

Any intelligent people out here on the forums (Not saying everyone is stupid! :jointsmile:) But I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about..at least I hope for damn sure that you do! Anything else? Comments? Words of your own that no one knows of? Please, lets make this a grand topic, I'm in the mood for something like this!! :jointsmile:

ignore this post! oops sorry!

Sometimes the thought ponders in my mind. In a way I kinda believe the whole 2012 thing, but at the same time I don't want to believe it. Maybe it's because I feel I have still a lot of life to live and it would suck to have it end in the next 3 years. Then again at the same time it was said that Y2K was supposed to be the end of all computers working, cell phones going on the fritz. Basically it was supposed to be a "technological doomsday." That was a fluke. :wtf:

Yea, it (in the better sense) blows that these celebrities die, but it was definitely fate/coincidence. Coincidence in the part being that it just so happened to be some people that are known to the public eye. Fate comes into play for me because I believe everything happens for a reason. It was there time to go, ya know? Maybe even a little bit of karma (not any one [celebrity] in particular) ?

Plus, the world gets more and more populated every day. So with more people comes more death. I mean there has been wars and controversy (btw countries/unions) for decades, it's not like it was peachy keen for the last 100 years. Funny, no matter how much one may try to "help" somebody else, the other side is never usually satisfied. Power hungry government officials and other higher stature who are always looking for the easy money without wanting to give in return. They love leeching taxpayer dollars :cool:

Anyways, sorry got on a rant..... :stoned: Be safe and happy toking! :thumbsup:

well i dont think mankind is coming to an end just yet, and if you believe in God and what the bible says then you know that The world will end when no one expects it to, "like a theif who strikes in the middle of the night".

yes i do know about the nwo but if it was meant to happen its gonna happen nothing we can really do. Yea we can try to prevent it but its an endless cycle there is always some one trying to take over the world.

anyways thats just my :twocents: dont mean no disrespect well peace:jointsmile:

Hey rant all you want man, ranting is what I like to do haha :thumbsup: and no disrespect taken either Richol. Criticism is nothing but words, and I know you weren't but if you did your words are your opinions/facts/beliefs/knowledge etc..I would take them as you left them because it is your right as a human to say whatever it is that you want :jointsmile:

But that is true, I have many many many beliefs on who life works, I'm big into philosophy and most of my beliefs contradict the other haha :D But I guess life is not meant to be completely figured out just as the life after death (if there even is one?!?!) haha you see I'm a believer of the lord but at the same time I believe there is more to it then just eternal life. I won't really go into it all because I have more then a million questions and I know not every single one can be answered haha

But I would love it if this topic could keep going?? :D

(Bold and blue by me)
You just outlined one of the plots of Atlas Shrugged by Anne Rand.

Personally, I find modern American life and globalization in general to be more like 1984. Its enough to turn a freedom loving person into :rambo:.

Hm, well I don't quite understand what you mean?? I see what you have outlined and quoted but I wasn't around in that time haha I was born 5 years from the year that you posted. If you wouldn't mind explaining it to me that would be grand :D Also I don't know who Anne Rand is?? No question is a stupid question but I still feel dumb asking haha :(

Sorry to make references to things without explaining. :stoned:

Give me a minute to find the links I want to give you. You've found one of the intelligent people you were looking for (LOL). :cool:

No don't be sorry it's a common mistake!! :thumbsup: Alright I will be looking forward to your links :jointsmile: Yes I did find an intelligent person, at the age that you are you have been around long enough to witness and experience enough in life to gain wisdom and knowledge to be passed down upon this generation, and if most at the age of mine or a little bit older then I are to listen, read, read, read, read, remember then myself and they too can do just the same as you are right now by passing down information to the next generation!! :D

(I find it more interesting to talk to older people then myself and in my generation because I am very so interested in a lot of things that life has thrown at others like yourself before I came about, gaining information is more knowledge to the brain so therefore it can be passed down throughout mankind. Wisdom is the key to life I believe :jointsmile:)

Both of these books (Atlas Shrugged and 1984) are considered classics, and for me, made a lifelong impression on me and (I hope) my thinking.

If you decide to embark on a reading adventure, 1984 is a fairly short tome. However, Atlas Shrugged is a, hmmmm,... committment, to say the least.
