Wish I was that positive.The infamous SCAMola said:I do live in Europe, and I know that even at the times of the U.S.S.R. the whole Soviet threat was waaay overblown.Casual Shinji said:If you live in Europe you'd get the idea.The infamous SCAMola said:Russia?! Where are you living in, 1985?Casual Shinji said:RUSSIA and CHINA will controle the world, wich will eventually happen.
RUSSIA basicly owns the entire powergrid in northen Europe.
Today? Non existent.
All of these ideas are very unoriginal being China and or Russia takes over, nuclear war, conservatives take over, and off world mining.Diablini said:In the future paris hilton will rule over all of the world. (Yes I know I spelled it wrong)
In the future the law will require every rich person to be a scanque or an asshole, every middle class person to be depressed and lonely, and every low class person to be dead.
In the future everyone will be infected with all STD's known to man, as soon as posible after his birth.
In the future all of Earth's water supply will turn into semen.
In the future the only religion Scientistology will require every man on Earth to have performed homicide and rape before his death.
All of that would suck.
If you want to be afraid of something, let it be China, not Russia.Casual Shinji said:Wish I was that positive.
I know China is a bigger threat. I just don't like the fact that Russia can pretty much do whatever it wants with in it's own borders. Killing of journalists who critisize the Kremlin and keeping Putin in power. And that whole thing in Georgia was a big sign that Russia is trying to reclaim the're lost terratory.The infamous SCAMola said:If you want to be afraid of something, let it be China, not Russia.Casual Shinji said:Wish I was that positive.
So what, they steamrolled over Georgia? Big fuckin' deal. They have absolutely no power outside of the ex-Soviet block, and not even that, since 90% of all ex communist Eastern European countries have already taken significant steps towards the EU. As soon as we make the transition to non fossil fuel, they will lose the little power that they had.
What is this "book" item that you speak of?Mr Claw Hammer said:The book "I have no mouth, and I must scream" would be awful, especially if you are the last person in it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Have_No_Mouth,_and_I_Must_Scream
Yeah, but a lot of other third world countries (I realize Russia isn't "Third World", but still...) do the same exact thing. Does that mean they'll become superpowers? Hell no, if anything it's a testament to their weakness as countries.Casual Shinji said:I know China is a bigger threat.

Japan already was well on the road to becoming an economic superpower in the eighties and early nineties. Then in the mid-nineties they had an economic crisis that taught them a lesson in humility.Seekster said:All and all, yeah I would say China will likely be the next superpower, once it reconciles its system of government with its economy and fixes some social problems. Now if Japan ever gets out of denial and realizes that they have no right being a pacifist country (anymore) then the game changes as Japan has always been more resourceful than China...historically at least. *Hides in bunker before the flame responses hit*
are you kidding? it would totally rock, mech warriors defending the last human bastion. Or just living in 1999 all the freaking time, ultima online just came out so it would be the best thing ever.

True fact, Japan has a Gameboy for every Japanese man, woman and child and a game cartridge for every man woman and child on Earth.TheMatt said:My buddy just did a project on this... Check these facts - If you armed EVERY able bodied american with a gun, you'd have like 90 million people. China - about 400million. You would HAVE to go nuclear or you would get your ass kicked.Ken_J said:Not without a fight *american, sorry*Casual Shinji said:RUSSIA and CHINA will controle the world, wich will eventually happen.
Pretty messed up if you ask me...
