WTF is with the world?

[Summiteer]

Some days I think the world could do with a "reset." Nothing like disaster to put things in perspective.....

Do any of u ppls believe in the 2012 doomsday prediction's made by the ancient Myan's, Nostradamus, and First Nation cheifs?

Do u think its all sum fuzz like the Year 2000 screwups predictions? Or does it really make u think "is this the end?" or "WTF is with the world"

Just think of all the stuff thats happened not too long ago, and the stuff thats happening now.

If the Myan's were good at predictions why did they not take proper measures to save their own civilization but instead of worrying about our current one. Either way, live today as we cant control tomorrow

I think they just got tired of making the calendar. Like really, its gotta end some time. Or they stopped making it once their entire people was conquered by spain.

I see huge disasters as natures way of population control. sort of trimming the fat if you will.

Ya, your so right. But it's sad that it takes disaster for us to put things in perspective. It took personal disaster for me to put things in perspective so I'm not pointing fingers by any means. Just sayin' overall, it's sad and pathetic, on my part and others.

I agree 100%. I worked and travelled stupid hrs for 20 years. A very close death in the family who died at 44 was enough to make me wake up and smell the coffee and start to enjoy life. Getting really sick myself shortly after did not help. Over the past 2 years I treat every day I wake up as a bonus and to live for the day. You almost have to to be a bit selfish to yourself. Sorry but no one can give you each min that just passed....not your wife, parents or children. So cheers to a beer

Just took a sip of beer to your post, or maybe I drank half of it... Anyways, I think it's weird. I find myself being more selfish as far as taking a little time for myself to enjoy one thing or another especially time to ride, but I also find myself being WAY more generous not only to friends, but random people that I see who might need a hand whether someone is stuck off the road or needs a help with a few dollars. Just feels better all around compared to how I used to live.

Us N. Americans have had it so good for so long. We've been exempt from so much suffering that the rest of the planet has had to endure. Worries me to think thhat it may be our turn to suffer

Having money doesn't suffer. Alberta oil keeps us going. Poop happens here, we rebuild fast cuz people can spend.

As far as all those predictions...The earth, solar system and the whole universe doesn't care about our timetables and small lives. The planets been destroying itself and rebuilding itself over and over for a very very long time. There are far more people living on every part of the land mass, and some very sketchy parts, so more loss of life. Just use the knowledge gained so far and make decisions based on fact and reasoning. For example, Don't live near Yellowstone(super volcano), get away from the coast, thats long overdue too. We get people building houses on the edge of the river valley and in the flood plains and guess what??...they fall into the river eventually and the plains flood . You are actually living in one of the most interesting times in human existence, but not the earths. There has been, at last count at least 5 total extinctions on this planet. The info is at your fingertips. I'm sure that the end of the second millennium just seemed a good clean cutoff place to stop their calendar. PS: Don't move to New Zealand...Lol

i hope your joking, cause that's close to the dumbest thing i've ever read on here......chit happens?? we rebuild fast??? half of New Orleans is still a disaster zone, they are still cleaning up from the hurricanes of this season, and some from last season, and neither of those were close to what has happened in japan.

no where that benefits from alberta oil has ever suffered "devastation" that's a big word, with a bigger meaning, right now an entire country (and might i add one of the most technologically advanced and prosperous countries in the world) is in chaos and there is not enough money in the world to "rebuild fast" you think if it happened here we could cope and rebuild fast?

i'm not trying to be an a-hole but in honesty comments like that make us a culture look very ignorant, just feel proud and lucky to have the life you do and live where you live, becasue hundreds of thousands of people in one country just lost everything, including family and loved ones.....nothing to joke about
