Could the end be near?.........(Serious Discussion) Opinions welcome

I'll kill you Ox.

And I know it hasn't because they haven't done test anywhere near levels that could start "shifting the magnetic poles" of the planet... In order to do that... Well you need some SERIOUS shit to go wrong before anything like that could happen. And that serious stuff would be fairly obvious, and chances are we would already all be dead.

[Oxer]

How do you know they havent started doing these test you suggest?

How do you know if any of what you are saying is truth or lies?

You still believe in santa and the tooth fairy too?

[Kielan]

Because they broke the particle accelerator... So they can't be testing.. They need more efficient cooling. It could be potentially the greatest accomplishment in the history of man kind if they accomplish it, and there is a pretty fucking huge ring under France/Switzerland, so I know its true, and so do most inhabitants of earth that watch the news.

No I don't believe in Santa or the Toothfairy. You can GTFO.

Religion of an entire nation ?... now that makes no sense and I find that rather comical ...( where you get this stuff )
And the particle accelerator was very well thought out with years of research and countless sums of.money to fund it , not an ego battle to drill into depths unheard of before with little to no preparation . Now do you see a difference ? Billion $ thought out idea VS billion dollar catastrophe due to no planning at all . That's why taking chances when no plan b , or preemptive measures are taken is bad for everyone .
( how is the BPspill related to destroying a region ? Idk oil *spilled on an ocean * might.destroy a thing or two

not gonna worry until humans start falling out of the sky dead.

this same thing happened to birds on my college campus (relatively close to these dead birds). wierd weather one year caused the berries that the birds usually eat to ferment on the branch. the migrating birds would eat the berries, get poisoned and randomly die all over campus.

Do you read your own posts?

Difference between making leaps in science Nd technology by trying new ideas and methods never done before and knowing that if you fail at what ever is being done that lives and ecosystems will be at risk over just not plAnning and preparing ... . when the rate of Failuré outweighs that of success , maybe the idea isn't so great until the numbers are in favor ( space shuttles exploding in mid air or race to the moon, if failed only harm those involved, astronauts , crew .etc , not a whole region of the country for decades .)

Shit happens everyday, they tried to go deeper, they had a mathematical error oilspilled. Shit happens. There was no "ego battle", oil rigs are billion dollar investments as well, with a ton of risks behind them, they didn't just decide, "oh ok, lets just drill really deep with out thinking twice about it". That is not what happened.

It's like some shit out of Flashforward !

That's exactly what came into my mind.

Just heard an interesting theory on the radio..... Birds and Crabs (40,000 crabs have been found dead on the shores of Kent, England) are thought to have some sort of magnetic homing instinct, which is "controlled" by the magnetic fields of our planet. A switch in the magnetic fields could cause the birds to quite literally fall out of the sky, or fly into the ground. This could also explain extreme weather conditions, as the polar caps would "switch"............ but as I've already seen this mentioned, that would most probably be all over the news!

Just a theory!!

This is called searching for evidence to support your conclusion. If you look at all of the evidence (and there are metric tons of it), I think you'll form the conclusion that the poles haven't switched

But that's why you heard it on a radio station and not through scientific publications lol

Your not educated enough on the BP spill . It's not what you saw on Fox news , it was great than that. The Russians were making enormous strides in deep sea drilling nd the u.s can't let that happen so BP has this idea and the u.s agrees and BAM ! Hell broke loose ...

[Anonymoose]

BP and the American government got together when the oilrig disaster happened and said fuck it lets make some dollar. By leaving it so long, throwing the blame around everyone watching tv got confused and then coming in to save the day, the gov look like the hero, BP pay for stupid programs to show they're cleaning the animals and planet, people forget about the disaster and wonder why petrol prices just went up again (because it's still all in the sea) Gov get money/fame, BP make more.

I wouldn't be suprised at all. As if your government or any government tells it's citizens the whole truth fooos

[Petis]

^the BP spill was directly linked to Americas's flawed off-shore drilling procedures and ridiculous constraints. In Europe and just about everywhere else, they are allowed to drill at shollower depths and at an angle. Both of these things reduce the already enourmous amount of strain on the equipment and drastically reduce the chances of such occurrances. Now that Obama, though he isn't technically allowed to, has stopped all off-shore drilling for 6 months, America's dependance on foreign oil has just increased ten-fold.

Well seeing as I don't watch Fox I really have no idea what they could be saying...

All I am saying is that you're reading wayyy too far into this "conspiracy" that the gov't was behind this.

Yes gas prices went way up, but the price of the clean up is also massive. The gov't and BP both took their sweet time getting on the clean up, but both sides were heavily criticized for what they had or in this case hadn't done. I'm sure someone somewhere made money on this, but regardless of that, I can safely say (at least in my own mind) that BP did not intentionally do this, it severely scared their public image, and they took a HUGE hit for that, one that they are still trying to recover from. But this whole conspiracy theory, I think you guys are taking a bit too far.

Anyway back on topic. No, its not the end of the world.

EDIT: Just realized how little sense that made.

In other words, BP didn't make huge gains off this spill, gas prices will continue to rise regardless.

They just announced, that all of these birds died because of sylvester. They were stressed and died.

Lameasses.

the gulf drilling moratorium was lifted in early-October. there's currently no ban on drilling, but the new permit process is apparently super slow.
