Cockroaches???? (Yes fangs I have misconstrued your references to cockroaches, deliberately) No no no no no no Sheep will rule the world.. Lets face it, no animal can be as dumb or as stupid as sheep pretend to be! Walk into a paddock if you are a male and they all call is “Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad! Bar! Bar! Daaasaaaaaaaaad!” Now if you are a woman, they all bleat .. “Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!” I ask you. If we were all Kiwis, then I could understand it..<Ducks the object being hurled from New Zealand> (Australian/New Zealand rivalry)..


On a more serious note, I’m partly convinced that we’re going to do some serious damage and either end up with a World Government or revert back to a Feudal Society. Now as long as I’m one of the Feudals and not a serf, I can live with that…. Lets tear down all useless connivances like public transport, but keep DVD’s and computers <Chuckles> Rid our selves of weapons of mass destruction and arm the military and police only with long bows and swords and dress them in chain mail…. Transport I hear you ask? Horses and shank’s pony (Legs – Human…. Like walking).

If every nuclear plant that was scheduled to be built in the past 35 years (many were abandoned before completion) were to suddenly be able to go online. There would only be enough nuclear fuel to last about 100 years. Nuclear power is not going to solve our energy problems and the waste it leaves behind lasts for tens of thousands of years.

Of course, this would all change if we can perfect nuclear fusion (as opposed to fission) but we're not there yet.

With the best technology we can develop right now, it would take 18 months to reach Mars. That's a hell of a long time to be in a space capsule. Exercise and muscle atrophy would be a real problem not to mention boredom. The nearest star outside our solar system is 4 light years away. That means we would have to travel for 4 years at the speed of light to reach it and it doesn't have any planets that we've been able to detect, so another star would have to be found and it would be even further away.


There is a technology that was considered feasable in the seventies and must be even more so now: the nuclear propulsion system proposed for Project Daedalus. Intended for interstellar travel, you could certainly manage short-haul interplanetary travel on a brisk timetable.

Of course the problem is that you would not want to ship all that nuclear material up from earth, nor indeed you would want to engage the engines anywhere nearby.

If conventional space exploration were to focus on finding reachable deposits of the fissile material elsewhere in the solar system and developing automated mining and refining systems, then the problem of getting around the solar system can be solved.

Status: offline 		I would definately say this thread took an odd turn..lol. CM still existing?...probably a minor issue. It always seems the answer is that we are going to destroy ourselves..a possibility, but I would guess a remote one. I am sure if I am wrong I will be corrected, but the behavior of our planet (and others) is somewhat cyclical. I don't know if 1000 years will see the change, but in time the planet will take charge and we will cease to exist. Earth has went through the same phases over and over, where we have dramatic climate changes (Ice age type) and I suspect this will happen again, in spite of global warming or cooling, it is a natural phenomena. Space exploration a key element? Not likely. I would suspect if the common man was in charge there would be a possibility, but there is just too much involvement with politics at this point to ever see space colonization ever happen, unless someone has something personal to gain from it. My idea of what the future holds is somewhat bleak..as man and animal will go by the wayside for a few centuries and then the cycle will start again. Of course who knows..maybe through some odd coincidence some data gets uncovered a few centuries into the next phase, by an archeologist. Hopefully this is about the time where they invent computers...lol, and maybe someone saved the forums for the next round. Of course I doubt language will have developed the same, so they won't have a clue what we are talking about (I think we have some of that now).

BUT..if we do happen to blow ourselves up, some of us survive, and it's soon enough I can see it...just call me Mad Max, I'll be the one driving a 4 X 4 GTO, packing an AK47, with the subby that sings and wiggles her ass...lmao.

ORIGINAL: FangsNfeet

In a thousand years from now I wonder how much of collarme will be read and or saved for documentation of how we lived the life style of the 21st century. How different will BDSM be then in the future? After all, even if CM isn't read by our future seed, we still cause a domino effect for future generations.

then again, it's not impossible that CM will still be up with a past generation of mods.


If we are still around, I suspect that BDSM will be much the same.. just with different toys.

I doubt that much will be saved, but maybe we will have beamed it all into outter space to make a little noise.

That is, of course, if we are still around.

If we continue to go as we are, in ten years our ozone layer will have been so damaged that it will require active steps on our part to help it achieve equilibrium without having our own damage destroy us. If things change before then, it can heal itself.

So it was put in the paper recently presented to the UN, anyway. I forget the name of the study.

So maybe in a thousand years some of CM will be blipping around in space, and the Earth will be happily moving out of its next ice age.

Sexual orientations of a past culture will probably be the least of anyone's concerns. Oh, listen to me, I'm being cynical again. I think, if we are still around, that BDSM will be much more high-tech. Look how much we've progressed in these terms in the past 100 years? (Though we still tend to incorporate some good old fashioned toys now and again). They'll have found ways to torture/pleasure people that can only happen in our wildest dreams. So...erm...anyone know the secret to time travel?

All sorts of studies and papers get presented to the UN. It's like when Al Gore preached about Global Warming during the winter time when the town broke it's coldest day record. It's reports like these for ppl to just get there names noticed or try a propaganda alert and such. Instead of scientist being scientist and reasearching, they are doing studies that can link anything to everthing and say what the want for political and nobel prize award agendas. Did you know that I can link foot ball helmets to being a cause of Brain Cancer? For once I would also like to see reporters tell what's happening instead of try and change what's happening. Isn't there a difference in the deffinitions of the words Report and Change? Now days, when a Reproter or Scientist makes a speech, they give to many theories and ideas rather that Reporting the Facts.

Anyhow, I belive the human race to live on far longer than just another meere 1000 years. Infact, the only way I see the human race becoming extinct is by an alien invasion that acctually destroys us all. Either that or Green Peace and Tree Hugers get there way to down technology so much that we revert back to the dark ages and never make it into space. By then, I'm sure a big meteor will whip us out or our sun will go Super Nova.

As for the life style, human emotions will more than likely stay the same. There will be dominant personalities as well as submissive tendencies. There will be sadiest and masochist till the end of time. Though it's popularity may rise and fall on the net and TV shows, sub cultures and what have you will always be present. It hasn't changed yet so why would it be changed by then?

This is true, but this report was noteable for the fact that it had finally submitted a lot of well-tested and proven material instead of just theory and speculation.

Well, as much as it can be in the scientific world these days. Too much runs to where the sound of money takes it.


But yes, if we last that long I have no doubt that bdsm will still be here. I wish I could see the toys and fashion. xD

It that's true, then what's with all the noteable fact and submietted we-tested and proven matrerial that our ozone layer is still going strong? Did you know that vocano erruption puts more polutants in the air than 100 yrs worth of our automobiles? What humans put in the air is only a mere fraction of what Mother Earth puts.

Yeah I'd like to see a change in plans for the rain forrest but for beauty not survival. After all, the rain forrest only supplies a fraction of air compared to what all our vegatation in the ocean gives us.

Anyhow, what's with all the pestimisim that I'm getting about "If we make it" Let's be real and optimistic people. The advances of cleaner technology is in the works. We are doing a great job in preserving and enhancing life. We aren't and never will be perfect as a whole, but non the less we changing and making progress for the better over all.

It's only another thousand years. We can DO IT!

Can we just kick all the other politicians off while you are at it. Except Senitor Moinahan. Even if he's a Democrate, he's the one one who suggested that we just NUKE N Korea. I like his attitude.

http://www.atm.ch.cam.ac.uk/tour/part1.html

The Yearly "Ozone Hole" Cycle

Each year, the Antarctic "ozone hole," a dramatic thinning of ozone, begins opening in July and shrinking in November. Between March 21st and September 21st, the South Pole becomes tilted away from the Sun (the "polar night"), allowing lower temperatures to cool in the Antarctic stratosphere. As a result, by late May, thin polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) form. At the edge of the ozone hole, near the polar vortex boundary, warmer temperatures lead to fewer PSCs and the associated ozone loss is not as severe

http://www.nasa.gov/vision/earth/lookingatearth/25TOMSAGU.html

As far as the rain forests go. They are not there for beauty. We derive many plants from them that help to cure diseases. They actually had a cure for a few diseases that were and still are killing millions each year. By the time they tested it...went back for the plants the forests they had gotten them from had been burned to the ground.

All plants give us oxygen. Not only the rain forests.

Not a chance this planet is going to survive another 1000 years with homosapiens on it.
Perhaps with something else but we are not going to make it.

Envionmental hysteria is so much fun.

There are hidden contradictions in the minds of people who "love Nature" while deploring the "artificialities" with which "Man has spoiled 'Nature.'" The obvious contradiction lies in their choice of words, which imply that Man and his artifacts are not part of "Nature"—but beavers and their dams are. But the contradictions go deeper than this prima-face absurdity. In declaring his love for a beaver dam (erected by beavers for beavers' purposes) and his hatred for dams erected by men (for the purposes of men) the Naturist reveals his hatred for his own race—i.e., his own self-hatred.
In the case of "Naturists" such self-hatred is understandable; they are such a sorry lot. But hatred is too strong an emotion to feel toward them; pity and contempt are the most they rate.
As for me, willy-nilly I am a man, not a beaver, and H. sapiens is the only race I have or can have. Fortunately for me, I like being part of a race made up of men and women—it strikes me as a fine arrangement -and perfectly "natural" Believe it or not, there were "Naturists" who opposed the first flight to old Earth's Moon as being "unnaturaI" and a "despoiling of Nature." --RAH

Anyone else read the book "Fallen Angels"?

Oh, and Fangs, isn't Moynihan dead? Of course he did get the Venona Project declassified.

Good day to you all,
