most dominant nation/nations by 2100

[edmundomcpot]

But 1000 years ago and from that point until today people have been seeing signs predicted in the bible that they thought meant the end of the world was near. It seems that pretty much since that point people have been saying, "We were wrong before, but now we really are close to the end".

I predict that in 100 years time Christians will still be saying the end is near. If the religion still exists in 1000 years time they will still be saying it

But theres also that notre damas prophecy that claims the world will end at the end of this year

[edmundomcpot]

not that i beleive it

[Caleb the Cruel]

You also said that this is all going to happen during the lifetime of the generation that saw Israel given back to the jews. Which gives it around 30 years max, i would imagine.

comet of 2012 and if that doesn't end everything then the war of 2036 will be the beginning of the end

Congratulations. An award for being the maddest mad bastard ever.

Due to the now almost inevitable oil wars i would have to say china out of these as thay have the best acess to oil and are not selling it. russia is also stockpiling its oil reserves so they can sell it when other countries start to dry up

i dont see why EU is listed as a country/future country as differences between nations are still as clear as 1000 years ago (although there might be some differences in eastern europe) However european countries are less dependent on oil and are rapidly trying to reduce its need for it through nuclear and renewable supplies. I dont see them getting into wars though as long as they arnt threatend

[bombshelter]

American union of north and south america. Southeast Asia will probably merge, either politically or through war. But then the end of oil will collapse the U.S., and Asia is pretty much dependent on that trade. So the EU will be the most powerfull, but I don't think they will use their military.

[P Gizzle]

i think that if there's a world war III, the US will definitely be the most powerful. also, i think China will be right behind them and after that, Canada.

two more options..either UN collapses, or UN forces a global currency

World war 3- order of events
1) israel defeats palestine
2)Lebbanon goes to war with israel
3)Lebbanon ends up having to surrender
4)Jews in israel read up on there history and decide they need there revenge on egypt for enslaving them 1000's of year ago
5)U.S.A gets involved on israels side U.K. promptly follows.
6)Saudi arabia calls on all arab/islamic nations to rise against israel and its followers
7) E.U. calls on member states to defend european borders by invading turkey
Checnya formaly attacks russian officials

..... and so on

[2dimes]

If world war III does crank off you better hope Japan is an on your side.
Now that everyone's been buying their cars for the last twenty years.
They are making better steel than Germany.

I don't know when armagedon will be but I believe the statement that we are closer than we've ever been.

Infact it's true and tomorow we will be one more day closer.

The global currancy thing is something that I'm suprised Jay a2j is not talking about.

He started telling us that parts of revelation could not have happened before now.

Only 15 years ago banking was way different. Today I can go anywhere in the world with a bank card or credit card and either withdrawl money from a bank machine or pay for something with out even touching money.

I was stranded in a place I had never heard of called Hope British Columbia. I was trying to get home from a trip to Vancouver. I needed to get money because that bus station did not take visa at the time and it was after midnight so where I had got on the bus there was no ticket office open. So now I was in a place where I didn't know anyone and the hotels were closed and I could not get back on the bus until I got some money.

I found a bank machine and made a cash advance. The first thing that came on the screen was a message that welcomed me by name. I had no idea where I was or what bank I was using but it knew me.

When people used to talk about a global currancy controled by a personal number it was kind of rediculas, but now it's seems not only possible but obvious and it would not even be unusual.

[2dimes]

Oh I forgot my question.

Won't a Global currency, which I think is inevitable because the the banking system does not belong to any country, bring peace?

Not when one man controls the economy. Yes, it is comming but it will not bring peace (lasting anyways).

What are you talking about? Why wouldn't it bring peace? One currency means there will not be a need to fight over economies.

[pikmin]

i think canadas the next super power.theyve been lying back for years and probaly researching alot.Also if really desperate they can raid the U.S. for supplies and soilders.Plus noone knows who the next superpower will be.Heres a example.Before ww2 did anybody excpect germany to invade.no.everybody thought they were still trying to recover thier economy and get on peoples good sides.the only reason they attacked is because of hitler.So lets say the U.S. gets a leader in 50 years thats evil and gets the power to invade the rest of the free world.Who Knows.Also for thier to be a global currency that means that pretty much all countrys that acceapted it would have to have the same economy.And alot could happen in 94 years.

I am talking about the anti-christ, who will control the world economy. So when he says a loaf of bread "will cost a bag of gold" (or a days wages), you can see why there would be tention.

One world currency is a "New World Order" concept. (and I shudder when I think about the NWO)

The anti-christ ...... this is the position Satan offered Jesus out in the desert if He would bow down and worship him, to which Jesus declined.

[ksslemp]

I'd be happier if China were considered the superpower, although they have a long long way to go in terms of military might.

When you are "The" Superpower like the U.S. all you get is shit on. when we get involved in a crisis we're shit on and when we don't get involved we're shit on. So i'll take no. 2, pardon the pun without the shit.

[gavin_sidhu]

So lets say the U.S. gets a leader in 50 years thats evil and gets the power to invade the rest of the free world.

George Bush?

Ya, George Bush is a moron, dont know why you guys would vote him in.

I asked that same question when Clinton was elected. And was dumbfounded when he was re-elected. You guys voted in a do-nothing president that will only be remembered as "the guy who got lucky in the oval office". His accomplishments in office could be written on a Post-It. (and you'd have room left over for a receipe too)

Let's see, what did he accomplish?

• First budget surplus since the Pre-Regan era.
• Reduced the deficit by 600 billion dollars
• Signed the Brady Bill into law
• 6 million new jobs
• Signed the Family and Medical leave act
• Led the bipartisan coalition that passed NAFTA

Yeah, I could list those on a post-it, but those are pretty damn impressive.

[Rednaxela]

Well in the not to distant future the world will run out of its fossil fuels.
There will be a water shortage with salinity problems around the world.
In this case I think the next form of energy will be nuclear. (vehicles will be all electric)
In steps the Aussies which have a shit load of uranium, and will become like the Middle East is now with oil.
The salinity problem will be fixed by huge desal plants built next to the nuke power plants etc.

The only problem may be the nuclear waste problem but I think the Middle East will be a good dumping ground for that. Someone will have dropped a few nukes on it by then.

Us Aussies will be right for our own nuclear waste we have NZ to dump ours on or Indonesia if needed.

[pikmin]

desalintation is not the next big fuel.The only plant on the planet is in saudia arabia and that cost way too much money.The only way that will happen is if we are probaly at war then well build hundreds.And also bush is a moron but if someone powerhugry and smart comes up then were all screwed.also for world peace money isn't the answer.get rid of it and your closer.Set up a barder system.

Most of these things can be credited to the Republican controlled House and Senate. Do you forget America voting in Republicans in 1994? Clinton merely signed what they passed. Try again.

[2dimes]

Desalination is not the next big fuel? Wow pikman has just advanced ignorance in his region by leaps and bounds.

France is developing steam cars with a capture feature. Fill it with sea water and it distills while you drive. Voila both issues solved, though they drink mostly wine there so the water must be for evian to export.
