Terminator is probably the most realistic and best example of what robots will be like on day.

2009 is going to be such a slap in the face, let me tell you now. Everything in the world has changed; we have a new president who isn't some old white guy, the stock market is fluctuating frantically, and isn't the LHC back in business next year? Wonderful!


The only good things coming out of this are a) New, diverse president, and b) the HD switch.

You forgot c) Jump in unemployement

And D) Those silly Japs inventing Time Travel.
FORWARD TO THE PAST!

That post actually has a point.
The asian countrys are "evolving" their industrial capacities at a disturbingly fast rate.
Their basically trying to take over the productions of everything.

I know that its old news but it isnt slowing down.
It's quite the opposite actually.

Anyone up for a discussion, I feel talkative tonight.

E) a few more large companies file for bankruptcy

no one up for it ey?
Well i'll probably check the board again tomorrow.
feel fre to pick up the topic before then.
Goodnight

i agree with what roy says though, asian countries (namely China) are becoming more economically strong and are starting to dominate

Screw economically strong, think TECHNOLOGICALLY strong and look at Japan!
They have freaking Cars that fold into a suitcase! (Or Something)
Where do you think all our neat stuff comes from?
Toyota, NDS, GameBoy, Wii, PS2, it's all Japan!
By the time the rest of the world gets Time Travel, they'd become so technologically advanced, that they'd ascend either into amazing pan-dimensional beings, or super-intelligent shades of blue.

Japan/China is technologically advanced but I think US is too, it's just being held back from the general public. While Japan might seem more technological from a consumer base I am pretty sure US has some tricks up it's sleeves. All of our technology is put into government and space while Japan put's theirs where they can make a profit off of that's why they are so strong economically.

Japan is extremely smart, they use symbols as text and from what I can gather symbols signify a LOT more about intellegence, look at the egyptians and all of them. They used symbols and man they were smart.

All it takes is the tools and power to alter gravitational pulls and space travel will be a walk in the park. Some of you might not believe in the whole UFO scene but I can guarentee that we have reverse engineered their space crafts and learned about their technologies.

Yes. You Americans do have some technologically awesome crap, but unfortunately, it's all put into the Military. Yep.
Japan may be extremely smart, but they will be the first to crumble form overpopulation.
Ten bucks says they make a Hyperspace Room and put the entire city of Tokyo into a Centimeter of space.
Or something.
And the symbols thing? Not exactly. It does take a bit more to learn it, but, let's look at all the multilingual people.
I, for one, have 3 languages warring it out in my head, Latin, Russian, and English. Am I super-duper smart? Not exactly.
I'm not stupid...
Lol.
Or something.

Doesn't China have a law where you can only have 1 baby or something? Maybe it was somewhere else but that's what I have heard. There needs to be something like that going on. We are all getting overpopulated and all my favorite remote places are being populated with... more humans, more shopping malls, and more McDonalds

Don't know about China, but there is that law in Japan. Only because they used to give up female babies and get male ones. Not allowed 'nemore.

I just hope 2009 doesn't suck as much as this year did. 2008 was kinda boring.

Yeah, 2008 just overall sucked, and I thought 2007 was a bad year

Lets see this year I also see atleast an attempt on obama's life..There will be no end for the "war on terror" cause there will always be "terror isnt" its all in the eye of the beholder/victor..You think all the pows that america has taken and beaten think were angels?

wait, Neyro, about your comment, you have it backwards. That's what China does/did

Hope economy will recover now with Obama.
As for Canada, If only the oppositionwould let harper do something!

...this thread was for when we were speculating about 2009. It's been 2009 for over 2 months. this should be closed, probably

Lol this should be closed and treasured...but so far 2009 is far better than 2008.

Seriously, i nearly died in '08. I hate '08. I love all the years before and after '08.
