Are we doomed?

In the fact the life is temporary, yes.

dont think so Call me Dave seems upbeat and chipper at the moment when I look into those eyes all my worries just slip away

If Labour get back in yep! 😕

No, but I mean stuff's going on that we have no control over, and all of a sudden, BANG! and it's all over. 🙁

You mean…

No worries.

havent we always been doomed forever ?

If Labour get back in yep!

Given the alternatives, i'd suggest that this was the least of your worries…

Na your OK at the monment the Tories arnt in 😉

Well, the street sweeper outside has given up, and is sitting down in the bus shelter. He realises the futility of it all.

Mind you, he does that every day, the lazy bastard…

Hey, even street sweepers are allowed a break. You should apologise for your oofensive comment about his paretntage…!

No, but seriously; The millions of years of evolution, all the plants and animals, all of Human endeavour, all the creation and achievements of thousands of years, could all be gone in the blink of an eye.

It's got to mean something, all this, surely? 😕

why? – do you want to feel special?

Yes it means that the universe is merrily plodding along obeying the laws of physicals on which a few sentimental sentient species have no bearing.

Yup, anyone see Beautiful Minds on BBC4 last night ?

James Lovelock and his Gaia theory – we are all indeed doomed.

The human race has selected itself for destruction.

Ah well.

It just seems a bit crazy, that if you stop to consider just how incredibly complex and amazing everything on this planet is, that it could all be gone in a puff of dust…

Anyone fancy a pint?

whatever. The planet will be fine, and life will carry on – there's loads of stuff in the ocean that couldn't give a fig about nuclear war /global warming /asteroids /giant space ducks.

yes, space ducks, giant ones, i'm deadly serious.

Cressers?

I think I may have boggled my own mind…

We're not doomed, we're f****d.

Re. Lovelock and his theory that humanity is doomed, well, he's probably right on that one, but when youve spent so many years talking a lot of pseudo-scientific crap for as long as he has, the law of averages says that you'll be right eventually…
actually, there's a few STWers who should take heart from that… 🙂

Rickos +1, I saw the title & had to see if Cressers had finally got round his ban

Have a ****, you'll feel better

As Arnie in Terminator 2 says "It's in your nature to destroy yourselves"
