I was going to say thinking of others (or not thinking you're the center of the universe) as the OP said "our generation" without specifying his/her age or the generation to which they were referring to obviously not thinking of the fact that more than a handful of generations are on here.
I'm sure they are, the glaciers don't lose thickness, they melt a bit on the surface, make huge lake on the glacier, (miles long) which then disapear in a matter of hours. The water goes beneath the glacier and lubricates the bottom, which speeds up the glacier moving towards the ocean, That Greenland. As for "the ice caps" there are surely millions of ice caps around the world and "they" must have had a lot of money if they measured them all. And anyway, the glacier doesn't lose thickness until later, it just breaks off from the side. As for global warming being bullshit, which I am assuming means you don't think it is even happening, the single piece of evidence that is glacier thickness hardly stands against the massive evidence for global warming. Not only that, carbon dioxide warms up the the atmosphere a bit, which increases the amount of water vapour a bit, which decreases the amount of ice in the Arctic a bit, which makes it a bit colder in the Arctic, which makes the cold currents travelling south warmer, which makes the warm currents travelling north warmer, which then helps melt the ice more, and make the cold currents travelling south even warmer. And it won't end until all that excess CO2 is gone. Of course, thsere will be apoint where so many climatic systems are tumbling towards a warmer world that it becomes impossible to to reverse it. That time is sooner than what was believed just a few years ago.Godofgame67 said:
That post was also like 20 years ago but I actually just made it as a reference to Horror Films.soilent said:
Boredom.
Jup, think about it. Our society constantly overloads itself with input, for some reason thinks it has to stay busy all the time. There is no time or appreciation anymore for just doing nothing, for clearing your mind. Time spent doing nothing is seen as wasted time, and that's a real frakking shame.
Also, what's with all the advertising bots?

It's late and I've been drinking so excuse me if I come off as an a-hole but I believe this is a sound and legitimate fear. Those of us that have families to provide for spend many a night awake due to this. With the recent economic collapse and slow economy this is a fear I personally have grappled with. There is no longer a boogie man to fear. The USSR collapsed, most deadly disease is controllable (in the west), we have stared into space and found nothing, we welcome technology with open arms, and most of us don't fear the unknown.E.X.D. said:
I may be reading to much into this, however I found your casual dismissal of the fear of joblessness a bit offensive.
P.S. feel free to ignore the ramblings of a late night drunkard upon your presumably light hearted topic.
I've heard that been said before, and I think that's a load of rubbish.Bulletinmybrain said:
I think generation kill belonged to people from Ancient Rome or Medieval England. People today are incredibly sensitive towards death. If you see someone die you get free counseling and grief management sessions. The real "generation kill" members were dropping off like flies through sickness and battle and no one really cared.
Edit: on topic, I think terrorism or unemployment/lack of money are today's biggest fears.
