Recently I have been thinking that my everything I am learning now at University will be a complete waste of time because I keep looking at the amount of things that could alter the future of our lives. The world of 2004 is not a happy place, since the Second World War it has been growing and prospering or the Developed World has. Despite the occasional hiccup in Britain with Margaret Thatcher etc the majority of us have a very good middle class lifestyle. But is this all going to change?

How many times have you turned on the television and seen a news broadcast or documentry warning us about the 'future'. Just think of the number of negative things that keep being mentioned:

Off the top of my head I can think of:

Fuel shortages.
Global Warming.
Terrorism and the constant need for the West to inforce democracy on people.
A growing population around the world and the lack of food/water which could lead to many things.
More unstable countries and hostilities.
An aging population and lower birthrate in UK.
Are we going to be able to buy a house? Or stay with parents forever.
An increasing gap between the rich/poor.
The constant decrease in performance of public services.
A population of lazy individuals who are turning obese .
A youth growing up with a single parents, abuse, poverty and drugs/alcohol/crime.
An increase in the right movement in UK and increased racist attacks
Governments seem to be suggesting that people work for them and not the other way around.

Some of those things may look like weak cases but any increase in one can criple our country. Think of how your work/home requires power to operate, without it and things stop - who remembers the furl shortages a fewe years back? In a few days things in the country looked to be stopped dead.

The other night I watched two programmes about how 'another Chernobyl' is almost inevitable, another super volcanic eruption is due and could kill billiob people by blocking out sun for years.

Sorry, I'm paranoid about things but lets just say things have changed a damn sight worse for the better since my parents generation.

As long as I can still get my end away, and order a pizza every once in a while, I'll be happy. Try to take that away from me and I'll be so angry damn you God you all to hell so help me *explodes in rage*

*un-explodes*

But I reckon that after the new Chernobyl, which will block out the sun and cause death and other boo-hoo stuff, pasty-faced geeks that lives in cellars will rule the world - they haven't needed sunlight for years! I imagine it like swarms of gollums scouring through waste for food.

I think about stuff like this, then I remember that nothing really matters....we're all going to die in the end. It's just a case of when, not how.

The tribulation is coming, it is only going to get worst as you will not be able to buy or sell without the Mark of the Beast and there will be much more natural disasters.

He's coming and so is the false prophet, who might well be the Pope.
