As long as there's oil and gas available while I'm still alive I can't really say that I give two shits about future generations...

Welcome to the reason that life as we know it will likely cease to exist by the year 2100 8O

My daughter will likely be alive to see it, if not, certainly my grandkids assuming I ever have any. Kinda sad really.

If you think it's that sad to bring kids in to the world to witness and experience all of this then why have children?

Well we will never know exactly what will happen in the future. But we can make good predictions to what will happen. ...

Its kind of depressing to think of this current way of life not existing in 200+ years or something, but so i feel happy and positive i think it will be similar but alot more complex with electronics/robots/electric cars or something crazy like that. :P Im sure we will see that kind of stuff common in less than 50 years... who knows!

Meh at least im living in the good times! And so is everyone else!.. it may just get better but i think only if the white people are still around, ie Australians, normal Americans and from the UK/western Europe (Not being racist or anything to others! :wink: so dont get angry...).

I see you have a firm grasp on the concept of talking out your ass





Sure the oil is going to run out, but thats ages and ages away by which time the problem will have been solved. As for the "we're living in the best time" just have a think about what people would have thought 100 years ago. Woooo, new fancy automatic horse drawn carts with no horses! We're living in the best time!

Lol Correct to the second part,

Regarding the white people part. Well its not talking out of my ass. :roll: Thats a cheap comment HRT... :?

For example white people have lead the fricken world in EVERY THING in the past!!! Ie Invented almost everything, moved around the world back in 1600-1800s in areas such as America, Australia, NZ, Ruled inda for 300 years lol! list goes on. They created the world as it is today! All white people! I repeat all white people. Put it this way if it wasnt for the English white folks the world like it is today would never have existed. No cars, no computers, Iron Ships :D You may say asains do all this today, this is because they copy the White man! :roll: They want to be as good as him!

So they must lead the world into the future. Other wise i see problems coming up in the future... I could explain further but may take a bit long! :wink:

They want to be as good as us??/ I agree with the simple world you must live in a simple world comment:). they are very good at taking other peoples ideas and vastly improving on them, hence the huge market for japanese cars.

Dude.... you just said them same thing as Pyro. So by "opposite" you mean "same thing" ;)


Anyways, who actually thinks we will run out of oil? Bet there are massive fields they're sitting on until they're needed that no one knows about

And how long til there is a fight over whats under Antarctica?

mmm yes back to the actual topic. :wink:

Ive read there are many crude oil deposits at the bottem of deep oceans but the problem is your looking at rough seas, and oil rigs that would need extracting pipes over 3-5km long. :? quite a challenge that would be!
