I think people for the most part have eliminated war and disease for the most part. However, I always wonder that, because the human population is probably at the highest it's ever been in history, if something catastrophic will happen to reduce the population. I'm thinking maybe like 28 days later, a massive epidemic, a nuclear holocaust, maybe a resource crisis or something else that will reduce the human population in the world?
Not that I'm wishing for one, but it always seems like tensions rise when there are too little resources for the population at large. World War II was arguably the world's last major crisis, and I feel the world is overdue for another. It worries me to think of what it might be.
What are your feelings on the matter?

I think it will be a generational one. In Africa the whole middle generation is dying by the millions, but the youth generation will rise up into power without guidance and tempering of an older, wiser, experienced generation. In America and Europe, younger generations are shrinking. In Asia, it's a mixed bag, but young people are killing themselves off through war or simply choosing not to have children. I'm not so sure about South America.
There will be an upheaval in power as younger nations will come into power. This isn't exactly a crisis, but it'll be fascinating to finally watch Africa come into her own in the midst of an aging Western world.

You know, there's always something nature has in store to help thin the herd. An earthquake or a tsunami or a typhoon or a hurricane can only make little inroads in the population. They seem to be localized (even in something like the tsunami that killed 200,000 or so 4 years ago.).
The thing I think about is some kind of viral infection that will sweep all around the world like a wild fire. In 1918-22, the Great Spanish Flu Epidemic may have killed upwards of 80,000,000 people. We've had a couple of scares - SARS and Bird Flu. I think nature is always looking for ways to do us in...
Something, as we sit here, is out there mutating and in its tiny brain, plotting to wreak havoc.

nature is not nice and things happen, we are more aware of it today more then ever. governments around the world are trying to predict them but as for stopping anything that is out of are power, the most we can do is hope we see the next big thing coming and get out of the way. just a few hundred years ago we had know way of understanding what is going on. it was all magic, I feel pretty lucky I live in this day and age and try not to worry about it, there is got to be a better life after this one anyway. enjoy the time you have now you never know what tomorrow will bring I don't mean go out and party the days away be productive do something you like be a good person

George Soros purchasing the '08 Elections!
Nothing "natural" about that
My feelings on the matter?
He is probably the most dangerous man in America today if not dangerous then insidious how he has control over the Democrats lock, stock and Obama.
Hillary dances to the MoveOn tune and he's just begun with 72 million dollars invested in the far Left Wing Liberal controlled media NBC for one.
He looks and talks like every-ones Grandpa and that's SCARY!

even its not going to be another world war II, nature itself is taking its toll already,we might not be well aware of it but its the natural catastrophes people around the world suffers from,global warming, tsunami, earthquake, heatwave, tornado, drastic change of weather, viruses from poultry and cows and so on,it may not be total wipe out but we can feel the effects of the problem it may have and the suffering one person can endure is hard.

When it comes to our species on the earth, we are the flease on the back of the dog. The planet could eliminate us all in a micro-second. And we are the only species with enough arrogance to think we can affect that.

Nature does not create crises.
Nature is neutral. You either adapt or you die.
