How long will the human race last?

Does this mean when the corn is ready we're all schnookered? I like corn too.

No, I think it means you have time for 1 more crop after this one, so get the good seeds next spring:licking:.

I think the world is already overpopulated. Many of the world's problems would ease with less crowding, but no, we keep adding to the census, especially in countries that can least afford it. Meanwhile, do-gooders are out trying to wipe out disease and famine so we can all live longer. It sounds good in practice, but at some point, the world will no longer sustain us. It's like pulling to many people into a life boat- at some point, everybody drowns.

Humankind has been cheating the system for a long time now. If we all had to live off of the land, there would be a LOT less people. We figured out how to farm and raise food so we can support more people with less land. When will this come around to bite us in the butt?

A quote from Malcolm Muggeridge:

"We look back upon history and what do we see? Empires rising and falling, revolutions and counter-revolutions, wealth accumulating and wealth dispersed, one nation dominant and then another. Shakespeare speaks of "the rise and fall of great ones that ebb and flow with the moon."

I look back on my own fellow countrymen ruling over a quarter of the world, the great majority of them convinced, in the words of what is still a favorite song, that, " the God who made the mighty would make them mightier yet. I've heard a crazed, cracked Austrian announce to the world the establishment of a German Reich that would last a thousand years; an Italian clown announce that he would restart the calendar to begin his own ascension to power. I've heard a murderous Georgian brigand in the Kremlin acclaimed by the intellectual elite of the world as a wiser than Solomon, more humane than Marcus Aurelius, more enlightened than Ashoka. I've seen America wealthier and in terms of weaponry, more powerful than the rest of the world put together, so that had the American people desired, could have outdone an Alexander or a Julius Caesar in the range and scale of their conquests.

All in one lifetime. All in one lifetime. All gone with the wind. England part of a tiny island off the coast of Europe, threatened with dismemberment and even bankruptcy. ****** and Mussolini dead, remembered only in infamy. Stalin a forbidden name in the regime he helped found and dominate for some three decades. America haunted by fears of running out of those precious fluids that keep her motorways roaring, and the smog settling, with troubled memories of a disastrous campaign in Vietnam, and the victories of the Don Quixotes of the media as they charged the windmills of Watergate.

All in one lifetime, all gone. Gone with the wind.

Behind the debris of these self-styled, sullen supermen and imperial diplomatists, there stands the gigantic figure of one person, because of whom, by whom, in whom, and through whom alone mankind might still have hope. The person of Jesus Christ."

The United States will look like Mexico in a few more decades. Currently Caucasians are a minority in California. At the rate Mexicans are invading this Country and having dozens of kids at age 16 the entire Country will be taken over by Mexico.

Education is nonexistent in this Country so all innovation will stop. The majority of the population will continue to expect everything to be handed to them as an entitlement without offering any work in exchange for compensation.

Politicians will continue to work only for their parties reelection and not care a spit about the Country as a whole.

Muslims will continue to invade this Country with their Sharia law, and force us all to live under Muslim rule. They have been at war for 2000 years why would they ever stop.

We no longer produce anything in this Country and we have outsourced everything else, so we sit around and collect free money from the government.
