Your percentages on these scenarios in the foreseeable future:

  • 1. Widespread race riots, race murders, marshal law to some extent, once the prosecution completely botches this case and Zimmerman is acquitted.

    2. Dirty bomb set off by Jihadists in the US in the next 10 years.

    3. Mexican drug cartels move their war across the border, pandemonium ensues, marshal law and/or shootouts with the national guard in the streets and/or Mexican gangs/cartels set off a huge response of violence after the US tries to intervene in Mexico and/or drug trade.

    4. Iran finally successfully provokes Israel into bombing them, the entire middle east declares war on Israel, US and Russia/China jump in on opposite sides. WW3 ensues

    I am gonna go:

    1. 75%
    2. 50%
    3. 30%
    4. 30%

  • Wow, you really are a crazy person. But hey, I can play that game.

    1. 0% - I don't doubt there will be some attempt to connect any murders by blacks on whites to this case but I think it'll be BS. You overstate the importance of this case.

    2. 1% - Not convinced they have the materials and it would be difficult to get here anyway. Plus, if they did, they know it would just set off another wave of troops being sent their way. I would think they would rather just attack the troops we have out in the world since we've come to expect that.

    3. 0% - They have no reason to cross the border. The cartels fight each other for control of the drugs and the trade in Mexico so they can sell to distributes in the U.S. Why cross the border and subject themselves to our much more organized law enforcement/military?

    4. 0% - Not a whole lot of people like Iran right now either so even if Israel did take steps and get into a confrontation with Iran, not sure how big it would end up being as long as we stayed out of it. If Iran let the whole thing go to their head and attacked any of our troops, we would have been provoked into the war and none of those middle eastern countries want to start sh*t with us. Not only because we're trigger happy and love to let loose our military, but because we are an important trading partner for many of them.

    1) 20%
    2) <5%
    3) Their war's already trickling across the border. 0% on the rest
    4) 1%

  • How can you botch a case if the accused has wounds when you have no photographic evidence that says Travon didn't attack him? There really isn't even a case... sorry

    When have the facts been a factor whether Sharpton claims someone is guilty.

    he followed the kid, they fought, he killed him. I agree and don't think its murder. But I do think its manslaughter.

    and I think the prosecution has already botched the case by going for Murder 2 when they KNEW about the wounds and photos, and it was absurd to not try him for manslaughter instead of murder. thats why it will be (and already is) botched.

    You're insane with those percentages.

    I'd say.

    1. 0%, its not that big of a case. People will mostly just whine on twitter for a week straight, maybe two.

    2. 60%, this is the one I'll go big on. These guys are desperate to pull this off, have the financial backing and the Islamic world will get them the materials. Iran will use some of their research to help get terrorists the uranium they need. Fact. Ten years is a big window.

    3. 10%, we would squash that pretty quick. I say 10% just because you didn't give a time frame and it could go down for about a month before being squashed.

    4. 0%, Israel will bomb Iran and I think the U.S. turns out to be that guy who holds everyone else backs and keeps it mano y mano. Iran is actually kind of a step child in the Middle East and everyone recognizes that they have goaded Israel so badly they'd understand despite their ideological differences.

    5. A depression occurs that in all ways resembles the crash of 1929 within the next 5-10 years: 75%

    I truly believe this is coming and it has little to do with Barack. He was handed a dying services economy that he has done nothing to fix and yeah he is a fiscal retard but it would have taken a savant to save us. My vision for it: Spain and Italy will go under soon and that will result in some major issues across the globe emanating from Europe. Our stock market will drop back to around 9,000. Unemployment will jump from 10% to 18% within about 6 months and the welfare system will start to collapse. You'll start to see the most entitled generation in American history be denied necessities and ish will get real at an alarming rate and it will snow ball.

    #5...agreed. I don't think 5-10 years but i DO think 20-30 on that would be my only difference.

    And yes maybe I exaggerated the original post to get some conversation started.

    It's either going to happen very soon or not. We are already on the precipice. Don't let a 13K DOW Jones fool you. We are either going to get this thing figured out or watch it burn to the ground in the next 7 years.

    I also think you'll see the EU boot a couple members when they are going down the toilet and yet won't accept austerity (Greece and Spain most likely, maybe Italy/France) and Germany is being forced to bankroll everyone.

    I think we're going to weather it this time, everyone is going to forget it happened so we are going to keep mounting debt and letting the entitlement state get out of hand, and then next time something happens it will all collapse.

  • Between all that and what the FDA is doing to us the modern United States will be a nation gawked at and studied as a precautionary tale for ages save the world ending through Christ or Nuclear Holocaust.

    The sole "conspiracy theory" I will not back down from is that the FDA is trying to kill us slowly enough to where they can prescribe us a ton of medicine before we go.
