Why are you practicing it , then?


My "prophecy" of past years concenring Iraq became true to the smallest detail. My "prophecy" concerning Afghanistan for the most has come true, or is on the way to become so. I "predicted" massive abuse of prisoners, and it became true. I "predicted that the psychologically traumatized soldiers returning will be left alone in many cases, and that such cases must be measured in the range of high thousands and tens of thousands. If you check your own nation's veteran oprganization'S websites, you will see that their counts are what I said. Zwo years ago or so I tld you that your property markets will start to shift for the worse, due to certain changes in chinese financial policies that have to do with their monnumental reserves - your newsppaer are reproting about exactly this happening since some months now. The US is isolated with it's views on climate, and will try it's best at Heilgendamm to isolate itself even more. We others just are too dumb to understand America's superior knowledge of climate change. Even the most minimal mentioning of climate change, and even the most minimal considerations of reducing pollutions have been compelte rejected by the american negotiators before Heiligendamm.

It'S just that you call everything a "prohecy" that you do not like, in an attempt to make it look ridiculous so that people must not take note of it. You can't bear the message, so you try to blame the messanger. That is the substance of your superior knowledge - ignorrance. If only you would look a bit beyond your American scope, you would realize that time and again economical analysts - often Americans - are describing some economical facts and necessary conclusions from that that are not different to what I say. Read one or two history books on Rome, or Europe of the last past centuries, and you will see that what America is heading for has happened so very often before with other empires. The way you mishandle your economy has been done in exactly this way several times before your age. but do you learn a lesson from our ancestor's examples? Do you give it any thinking? No! Why should you - you are Americans, right? Americans must not listen, they always know it better, right?

Boy, you are sticking with your head so deep in the sand that even your boots are not visible anymore.

I "predicted" failure in Iraq, so I was accused of "wishing for American failure". I talked about the exessive consumation of ressources and goods and the enormous probolems coming from that, so I was accused of just being envious. I just hinted at the economical collapse of major european powers of the past 500 years, and now you accuse me of short memory. I warned you that your nation is living on credit, and that this necessarily is weakening your economy from within, and you say I am giddy to see America fall. I see a pattern in this kind of behavior.

If somebody sees a red flashing warning light on the panel and as a reaction smashes it with a hammer so that the alarm blinking is no more irritating him, I can't help it.

And now get a shovel and dig harder, I still can see your boots.

I did yourself a favour and accepted your own initial word selection. Restore your short time memory, maybe.

Is that so? The bullet fell down near my position. But okay - in the heat of battle...

I prophecize the sun will come up tomorrow. Beat that Skybird.

Nothing you have said has come true to the smallest detail. I read everything you wrote. All you wrote was that the Iraq war would be a failure and failed to say how so - gee - that is about as broad as my sun statement above! The point being - nothing you have said to the smallest detail has come true. In 20 years, then you will be able to say one way or the other - but today, you say nothing since all you have said has not come to pass yet.

Give me some examples to compare and then I will give you what you want. The point I made is there has been nothing said by Skybird that says exactly this will happen. And to say you lost or failed before a war is over is complete BS. That is the point.

Never said he was wrong Fishy it will get worse than that I'm sure...just the doom and gloom sermon gets old....with the fortunes Skybirds predicts I don't know why anyone would want to continue with life at all.

Where is your hope?
Where is your faith?
What is your reason for living?
Skybird just comes off as a severely depressed and lonely individual in his posts.

[Tchocky]

SUBMAN, just back this one up and I'll stop

The point being - nothing you have said to the smallest detail has come true.

All I can say is, I'm high-tailing it to England when I'm ready to start my family.

For more than one reason, the major one, however, being the increasing likelihood of economic collapse.

It sucks, but I'll still visit!

Thats funny. I love visiting England but I wouldn't choose it as a place to live.
If you worry about Armageddon/Economic Collapse/Barney Living Forever, all the time you will be too scared to make a move and die of a heart-attack by twenty five.

I'm not worrying about it, because I won't be here.

File it under "Not my problem."

Its alright. Such things happen on the Internet, especially when one makes broad sweeping statements such as I did. To clarify, my remark was aimed at Fish because of his smug "The game is not over yet" remark. He seems pretty happy with the prophecized impending downfall of the United States. But of course, as I said before, it's the Internet and I may have misinterpreted things.

I really must leave a post it note on my monitor to stop visiting the general topics forum...

I'll be walking around with a suitcase full of gold ready to start raising stuff off the ground. That is, if there's any prospective of recovery, of course. It wouldn't only be an opportunity to shuffle things around but also to create the North American Union or otherwise start playing soft dictatorship.
