10 failed doomsday predictions

[Rusty Dai (imported)]

About Y2K. Someone's alleged "supreme being" sat back and chuckled at all who celebrated the arrival of the twenty-first century on January 1, 2000.

Do your math...Century 21 did not happen until Janmuary 1, 2001.

Yesh, I know what you mean.

Then again, from mythology to history to fantasy to faith, some people will believe anything. I know where there is some swamp land, cash only.

The article failed to mention one key doomsday prediction...

Jehovah's Witness predicated in 1914 and 1915 would be the year of the battle of Armageddon....and we are still waiting.

Everybody missed it! The end did come afterall. That was back in 2000. Yes, y2k really DID happen. And we have been living in hell ever since. You see the problem with hell is that when you're down in it nothing ever changes and that's the definition of the hell we may be living in. So we just have to learn to enjoy our hell and make the best of things until things finally DO change which... --actually may be the definition for going down further deeper into the bowels of hell. Oh well.

So, even if 2008 wasn't the end, it might be the beginning of the end, which might come - say 2012.

Boy are you desperate to believe in the end of the world. I mean, saying "this guy was wrong in 2008, but it still might happen. Wowie, Zowie!



Have you invested in that swamp land in Florida or the acre in Brooklyn convenient to walk to New York City or how about that development the Clinton's sponsored down south a ways...

What about the Clinton administration? Didn't he inherit a big deficit from Bush senior and leave Bush junior with a big surplus?

Yes balanced the budget 7 years out of 8.

Its not a matter of who spends the most or doesn't. The democrats have always embraced social programs to help people in this country, and they spend money doing it. The republicans on the other hand keep talking about being fiscal conservitives when less spending smaller government, less taxes yet, they have grown the government at the same rate as the democrats, they have matched or spent more then democrats, they raise taxes, (Bush Sr, "read my lips, no new taxes", he lied and he lost, they however believe the social programs of the democrats are dead wrong, they think that should go to big business. Other then that there about the same except for one other small issue, the republicans now think that there religion needs to drive the country and that only they have a divine right to lead. We all know that is just horse shit. If anything we should end the churches tax free exemptions, and tax the hell out of them, the reason is simple, when religion starts to try and drive the politics in this country they should pay for that right.

Now like all good republicans go burn some tires in your back yard.

Worse yet, Bush the lesser had put us into such heavy borrowing debt to China that now his successor has no choice BUT to go over there now to make amends and concessions. Wow-w-w-w. What a debt we had racked up in the last eight years. But not to worry since the end of the world is coming.
