Topic: Three predictions
Mr. Parcelan
posted 11-30-2009 01:35:14 AM
ITT, you make three predictions as to what will happen in the next decade. If you are wrong, you must get hit with a ceremonial buick.

1. Democratic government installed in Iran.
2. Cloning technology refined to replace an extinct species.
3. Auto industry revolution for fewer emissions.

I'm optimistic

1. Taxes raised insane amounts under a Democratic administration, Democrats blamed
2. People still view economic health in America in terms of dollars and "acceptable" levels of unemployment and inflation
3. Advertising and marketing reach psychological and exploitative heights as never before

Hrmm, the next decade you say?

1) The first manned flight to Mars is undertaken.
2) Promising treatment for a number of diseases are discovered from stem cell research including the cure for cancer.
3) Cookie Monster, driven to the brink of insanity by severe cutbacks on his 'sometimes' food source of cookies, goes on a homicidial killing spree in the buroughs of Seasame Street. The final death toll before police snipers take him out will be 14 plue one Elmo.

1. Video Games will transition to a wholly digital distribution system, Leaving only the hardware and peripherals to be sold in stores.

2. China's Oil industry will privatize, explode, and seriously challenge the middle east.

3. MTV will finally Change their Name in the same retarded fashion of spike or Syfy, to reflect that they in fact never play Music videos ever.--Seriously after Flipping through and catching a glimpse of Jersey Shore, What further proof is needed? I mean who really thinks a show about a bunch of Greasy Ginny fuckwads is a good idea?--

Predictions, eh? Ok, here goes:

1. Politicians from various parties promise during election campaigns to make things better. After being elected they either do nothing but talk, or actually fuck shit up worse than before.

2. A sports team from a major American city will win its respective sports' championship. Excessive celebration and property damage follows.

3. A major celebrity will be involved in a scandal involving their use of drugs, alcohol or deviate sexual practices. Or possibly all three at once.

And just for you guys, here's a special bonus prediction:

The US Postal Service finally gets involved in e-mail in a big way, but only after figuring out a way to both slow down the flow of electrons and charge an exobritant and ever-escalating rate for doing so.

I'm pretty sure we can find a cure for that first one.

Naw they pretty much just transfer whatever you owe to the next of kin and then tax it.

Politicians will quit squabbling with each other and actually be concerned about those that put them in office, rather than the back room dealers and their bank accounts.

Less restrictive legislation, harsher penalties for infractions.

I will be less of a fatty.

WELP GET THAT BUICK READY I'LL ASSUME THE POSITION

Here's my post for once in a blue moon. Hahaha

1. A Host/Hostess or co-host for a reality show will have something so tragic happen to them that they can no longer Host the reality show. Possibly death.

2. Medical research will finally be approved to go into testing of human patients being able to grow their own spare body parts through stem cell and cloning technologies combined.

3. December of 2012, a cult of people will hide in a huge bunker underground which collapses killing them all. Over 200 people lose their life in this ironic tragedy.

Hope everyone is doing well. Don't join any cults.

Wasn't Taxman written because "the fab four" got hit with some extortionate 90+% tax rate?

Global warming doesn't actually matter, it's just that people are so butthurt over the fact that it isn't for certain proven that anthropogenic global warming will ruin the atmosphere that they forgot that fossil fuels are still a limited resource and it's gonna be like Mad Max 2 in 100 years anyway, only with more pollution. It's sort of like the Chernobyl plant blowing up or something, and someone shouts "HOLY FUCK IT'S GONNA KILL EVERYTHING ON EARTH" and then someone says "YOU CAN'T PROVE THAT" and then pretending it's still acceptable to be having nuclear meltdowns because the damage will be sequestered at some time in the future, maybe, and human lives and the environment are sunk costs for having big balls

But people will continue to deliberate over global warming in the coming years anyway
