Gabrielle Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Wow! I burns those out way back in high school dude. Yeaaaa
thepixiesrock Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 I could tell. Lou Gutman, P.I.- It's like I'm not even trying anymore!http://theatomicdanger.iforumer.com/index....theatomicdangerOne billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.
Azarkon Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 It's quite patronizing for the author to claim that Western civilization = the modern world, given that the sects he claims to be against Western civilization are also, *gasp*, contemporary. If Western civilization is indeed in decline (and it probably is, given the cycles of history), its technologies will not go out of fashion and, therefore, neither will modernity. What the author is right about is that the demographics of Europe are likely to change, as American demographics have been changing for the past three decades. This article seems, then, a classic reactionary ethnic backlash: "Oh my God! The Muslims/Mexicans/Asians are taking over! We're doomed!" There are doors
Meshugger Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 This has to be the most stupid article that i've read this year. Unless he's pulling a Monty Python, he and all those who agree with him should be thrown out of the genepool. "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy
Atreides Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Falling number of workers aside, technology like automated services may keep productivity up to shoulder more of the work. Spreading beauty with my katana.
Surreptishus Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 A problem will be supporting all those old people that refuse to die.
Diamond Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Falling number of workers aside, technology like automated services may keep productivity up to shoulder more of the work. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They'd rather outsource all the work that can be automated until it becomes more expensive to outsource.
Atreides Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Yes, and of course that's assuming that technology can pick up the slack. Spreading beauty with my katana.
CoM_Solaufein Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 A problem will be supporting all those old people that refuse to die. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sounds like our ex-presidents.

~Di Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Why start at 60? Hell, people in their 50's have no right to live either. Or 40, for that matter. Aw, screw it. Set the cap at 30. Logan's run, anybody?
Blank Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 30 for the age cap!? no way! you'd be wiping out some of the forum celebrities here, and i can't allow that.
Judge Hades Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 (edited) Logan's Run? I can only hobble. Hades' Hobble. Hmmm... Edited January 6, 2006 by Judge Hades
Surreptishus Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Doesnt matter, according to the rules of logan's run you'd be dead already

Lucius Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Life on earth is a one shot revolver in my opinion. When this is done there will probably be infinite darkness. DENMARK! It appears that I have not yet found a sig to replace the one about me not being banned... interesting.
