<p>Naa, Iran wont end us. Killer whales will! See what happens when you protest the killing of innocent creatures? They bite you in the back and eat your head and make you into wakamole.</p>
<p>^ If Iran doesn't, N. Korea will. Pretty much Kim Jong is insane and refuses to listen to anyone.<br>
If N. Korea doesn't, Russia will
If russia doesn't, venezuela or syria will.
if none of them do w. will kill us</p>
<p>oh well, according to Gore we're killing us. it's only a matter of time now</p>
<p>Nonono. You got this all wrong. The whales don't just want to kill America, they want the world. They want to taste that nice human fleash....mmm....yummy.... :p</p>

A war in Africa? I'm trying to find the relevance of that on the world stage.

The first world countries have reason to be interested in events in Africa because of the mining industry there.</p>
<p>^ Remember, tho, it would be just like the typical American teenager to assume Africa is just a dry, hot, poor, barbarious country where lions road and everyone has AIDs or leoparcy (that's only because Bono told MTV to publicize it)</p>
<p>Well, I speculate that the year 2056 will have little difference with today actually. Mode of dress, slang, homes, vehicles, and music will be somewhat different, but not to the extreme. I doubt we will have teleportation, floating "Jetson" vehicles, or food replicators. You see, fifty years ago in 1956, lifestyle was not that different thday. Our military, with the exception of stealth bombers and Abrams tanks, is similar to todays military. The only difference with today and 1956 is the manner of living such as dress or slang.</p>
<p>What I expect in the year 2056:</p>
<p>At least one nuclear disaster will occur on the mainland of the United States by either North Korea or the Middle East.</p>
<p>Extravagant number of 300,000,000 illegal immigrants in the United States.</p>
<p>Medical technology amazingly advanced</p>
<p>United Nations will be disbanded, restoring the US's sovereignty.</p>
<p>Many new ammendments to the constitution</p>
<p>Social Security will be a thing of the past. The next age of retirees over sixty will be without Social Security or Medicaire due to an inexorable national debt Government programs such as these will be long gone and millions of senior citizens will be without health insurance or social security.</p>

<ol>
<li>Hummer Corporation will go out of business, along with GM.</li>
<li>Toyota will begin production on its 38695th hybrid car.</li>
<li>Warfare will be different: issues will be solved by a tennis match between the leaders, since that's cheaper, less violent, broadcastable, and more entertaining.</li>
<li>United Airlines, Delta Airlines, and Northwest Airlines will file for their 493rd bankruptcies.</li>
<li>Dick Cheney will have his 587th heart attack, after having lost to a dead opponent in the Wyoming gubernatorial election.</li>
<li>Chelsea Clinton takes over the world.</li>
<li>George Bush will finally learn how to read CORRECTLY.</li>
<li>The SAT will be out of 48800, rather than 2400.</li>
<li>The ACT people will come to their senses and make the ACT out of 40 rather than 36. 36...what a random number.</li>
<li>Harvard University will finally rank outside the top three in USNWR.</li>
<li>Gasoline tops $30 per gallon.</li>
<li>Washington U. in St. Louis will be sued by the U.S. Postal Service for overloading their system.</li>
<li>The neocon right finally comes to their senses: they are seen at major democrats' doorsteps begging for mercy.</li>
</ol>
<p>I'll go with that list, except #7 - that's just pure comedy.</p>
<p>The U.S. will no longer be the predominate force in the world. We will lose our ability to "buy off" our enemies financially like we currently do.</p>
<p>At least one devastating earthquake in California will wipe out 20%-33% of the state's population.</p>
<p>At least 1/2 of the U.S. population will be homeless, on welfare or in prison, because there just won't be enough jobs to sustain the ever-growing immigrant population or enough qualified U.S. citizens to fill U.S. jobs.</p>
<p>There will be an unsuccessful attempted military overthrow of the U.S. government.</p>
<p>There will be some kind of race war / civil unrest.</p>
<p>The U.S. is overdue for a major political assassination!</p>
<p>Still no cure for AIDS, cancer or diabetes.</p>
<p>A new medical disaster, even more devastating than AIDS, will hit the world, fueled by germ warfare from Asia and the Middle East.</p>
<p>The public education system in the U.S. will continue to erode.</p>
<p>Yahoo! will be acquired by Google, which will be acquired by MySpace, which will be acquired by Facebook, which will be illegally acquired by religious right and CIA operatives, just so they can data warehouse everyone who is online.</p>
<p>People on CC will still ask if they should retake the SAT after missing a perfect score by one point!</p>
<p>Celebrian25 will have 10 million+ posts on CC.</p>
<p>Text posting on CC will be replaced with real-time audio/video conversations. Our actual faces will be replaced with animated caricatures. </p>
<p>There will be automatic language translation on CC as well as with all telecommunications, i.e. someone in Japan will speak in Japanese and I will hear it automatically in English.</p>

So true. So true.</p>

<p>I'm sorry, how would a war in Africa not be relevant on the world stage? Just because most of the world doesn't recognize the devastating affairs of the continent, it will impact the world. Maybe it already has. Osama bin Ladin was in Sudan (I think) recruiting members for quite a while.</p>
<p>Trust me that if a major war breaks out within the African Union, many countries will be dragged into it.</p>
<p>gattaca was creepy..we watched it in bio...it made me sad when that guy burned himself to death...i think i cried..or almost did anyway..</p>
<p>I'll be 69</p>
<p>I turned my head when he burned himself (not on purpose, something distracted me, as per usual) and everyone was aww, no! and covering their eyes and I was completely confused. I was pretty mad. </p>
<p>Great movie though. Jude law...delicious.</p>

<p>No!!! It can't!! I haven't been to Paris, or London, and I haven't made millions in investment banking yet!!!</p>

<li>I will be a retired investment banker and venture capitalist and be worth tens of billions.</li>
