Happy New Year? :(

Six in 10 people think the U.S. will be the victim of a terrorist attack. An identical percentage thinks it likely that a biological or nuclear weapon will be unleashed somewhere else in the world.

Seventy percent of people in the U.S. predict a major natural disaster in the country and an equal percentage expects worsening global warming.

:eek:

35 percent predict the military draft will be reinstated.

omg:

25 percent anticipate the second coming of Jesus Christ.

:confused:

Can't we just anticipate a New Year without negative predictions? I hate people.

Happy New Year! :D

Jesus Christ coming back scares the crap out of you? I think it'd be sweet. I wanna chill with him.

Yeah it does, if what my dad tells me about everyone who doesn't go to Heaven being subject to 1,000 years of Satanic rule is true. But in all honesty, I don't see any of those events happening, or anything my dad says about the Bible being true.

While that certainly could happen, I think people are too paranoid. At least securitys buckled down alot since 9/11.

35 percent predict the military draft will be reinstated.

They've been saying that for years, and I still don't see it happening.

25 percent anticipate the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Nobody can predict when Jesus will return. The Bible even says it will come unexpected.

I'm reminded of a quote I once heard...I think it might actually have been from Star Trek: The Next Generation....but it's a good one nonetheless

If people believe they're going to die tomorrow, they'll usually find a way to make it happen.

Maybe if people would start thinking just a bit more...positively...things might just get better.
