Today we fight over fossil fuels and ideas, tomorrow we wlll fight over food and a place to live... tomorrow will be scarier if we don't stop wasting the planets resources... realistically the numbers no longer add up and Maslow's hierarchy of needs says some scary things about tomorrow.

Very true.
The future is scary for many reasons and over growth is the main one.
That's why we need fabulous places like AA and our sound systems to "escape".

Yes, a world without music and AA would be scary... definitely up near the top of any good hierarchy of needs.

This will only scare people more and more.

I believe that this kind of movie is made to promote an attack against Iran because no more boycott could be done. Iran is already very isolated and life there is very tough. A preventive attack against Iran won't solve anything and could have catastrophic consequences imho.


Iranians leaders know that they cannot attack Israel without taking the risk to be also destroyed. I know that they are crazy. But even craziness have limits.
And Israel knows that it would be extremely dangerous to attack Iran.

With the help of the Lord, such a thing will never happen or the whole world will collapse. We must keep praying.
Reminds me the old song of Sting. "If the Russians love their children too..."
I totally agree Jérôme.

Guys, are we supposed to interpret that clip as real footage from somebody's phone camera? Because that movie looks very, very fake. Indeed, it IS a movie. You'd be surprised at what you can do nowadays with a computer and some actor friends.

The EMP would knock out the camera...so no footage

inconsistent, pointless and not even that good as a work of fiction

...isn't this forum supposed to be about the better things in life.

I have some FEMA certifications and if something "bad" happens here, good luck! Katrina is a prime example.

The world with less people is not scary as you may think.

The question is are you self sufficient and can make it through the Apocalypse?
