The world seemingly turning upside down. Homosexuality is becoming more popular than heterosexuality. Deadly viruses are breaking out in Africa killing people at an alarming rate. The cold war is alive and well, with threats of violence never being more imminent. The muslims and jews have finally gone over the deep end and want to annihilate one another. War is ongoing in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, China, North, West, and central Africa. East asia is experiencing turmoil as well, with Thailand currnently under military coup.
Has US imperialism finally put world ware 3 in motion? Is the book of revelations coming to fuition? What say you?
Interesting that some don't stop to think about how things used to actually be before they started taking stats. Here's a hint. Most of the 'ills' that people seem to think are on the rise have generally been falling every since people started taking stats on social issues.
Homosexuality is not more popular. Its been present and even open in past societies. Its probably at its lowest self reported level ever because people are more openly beligerent about it now, not to mention that keeping such behavior/lifestyle or whatever is damn near impossible in this day and age.
Deadly outbreaks in Africa and everywhere are at all time lows. Sure there are occasional outbreaks that are record breaking for certain diseases, but unless you're talking about HIV(which is falling itself) disease contraction rates of most kind are falling rapidly.
You know there used to be an actual cold war. We're not close to that today. There used to be hot skirmishes and large military confontations all the time.
Muslims and Jews have been going over the deep end since before both religions existed.
There's probably less economic trouble, poverty, war and starvation than there has ever been in recorded history. What is there less of? Religious participation.
