Which scenarios could you see happening in your lifetime?

Assuming most of you have another good 20 to 30 years left- which scenarios could you see happening in our lifetime?
A. Woman becoming President of the United States.
B. Openly gay man becoming President of the U.S
C. Terrorist gaining access to and detonating a nuke.
D. Total collapse of the U.S economy(i.e full blown Depression)
E. A terrorist strike on U.S soil far greater than 9-11
F. President being elected from a 3rd party(i.e Tea Party, Independent, Socialist, Libertarian
G. Govt admitting having contact with Aliens or admitting having captured Aliens in past(Roswell)

a c d e f and i think c e and d within the next three years.

Deacon just curious you can see the total collapse of the U.S economy in 3 years- regardless of what party is in office?

If c/e happen, it isn't so difficult to imagine d could happen as well. Particularly if c happens in strategically devastating locations.

Well if the dems would punt Barry and the GOP runs a Bachman/Caine ticket then in two years it would be a certainty. Yes, that means that dems have only Hillary in the wings.

Openly gay person(or do you mean man)...not for some time

Terrorist nuke; too likely

total collapse; we are at the tipping point. Historically we have weathered many depressions in this countries history.

terrorist act of mass murder; if you believe in the nuke then you believe in this. US and Tel Aviv top two targets.

Third party president; problematic, if a third party elects a president then they automatically become one of the two dominant parties. The GOP in 1860 was a third party until they elected Lincoln.

If I answered that I'd have atomize your brains

a - Absolutely.
b - Probably not in our lifetime
c - Yes - maybe by Dec. 21, 2012 (the end of the world according to the Mayans)
d - If c or e happens, then d probably happens
e - Yes - see c
f - Probably not in our lifetime
g - I don't believe there's intelligent life on Earth, much less in outer space, so not in our lifetime.

Here's a few more to consider, a little more fun:

h - a Triple Crown winner in Horse Racing
i - a Triple Crown winner in baseball
j - someone breaking Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak
k - an NFL team winning more than 2 Super Bowls in a row
l - Pete Rose being re-instated into baseball and, therefore, being inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame
m - Queen putting her goalposts up if and when the NFL labor situation is resolved

WellEndowed, I'll take you up on that. I see the total collapse of the US economy well within three years, regardless of which party is in power. It's likely to happen faster with the Democrats in power, but the Republicans are only marginally slower at screwing things up.

As far as the rest of your scenarios, yes there will be a terrorist attack in the US involving a dirty nuke. A woman will become President. The government will not disclose the alien presence on Earth, but the aliens will make themselves known. And I don't intend to wait for the NFL labor dispute to be resolved, I intend to visit the goalposts in person!

You should have added "worlds supply of oil runs out" to that list. Ever since I watched this documentary it's been on my mind. Has anyone else seen it?

I think D is being intentionally engineered at this very moment.

All you cynics out there need to hope you get into the Rapture tomorrow.

We are going to be just fine. I would have been a cynic during a Plague in the middle ages but not today.

We can do things well we just don't often do it and we have a nagging drag on us in the party of negativity and the haters of change.

Anyone who thinks that they will be taken during the Rapture is already disqualified as pride (like think they are pure of heart) is a sin in itself. So see you next week.

Well if the dems would punt Barry and the GOP runs a Bachman/Caine ticket then in two years it would be a certainty. Yes, that means that dems have only Hillary in the wings.

John here's something even you can't deny- compae the U.S economy when Clinton took office until when he left office- huge plus and boom for the economy correct?
Now when George Dubyah took office until the day he left- tremendous and perhaps you can say epic fail-
Now compare day 1 when Obama took office until let's just say today- are you telling me the economy is in worst shape today then the day Obama took office- heck no- every time I as a Republican this question I never get an answer- any economist will tell you that we are heading the right direction albeit slowly but the economy is picking up. If Obama is such a horrible President John, why aren't we in a full blown Depression- why is it the economy has improved since Day 1 to now John?

Assuming most of you have another good 20 to 30 years left- which scenarios could you see happening in our lifetime?
A. Woman becoming President of the United States. High likelihood
B. Openly gay man becoming President of the U.SI would say the chances are somewhere between slim and none
C. Terrorist gaining access to and detonating a nuke. It would happen tomorrow if terrorists ever get their hands on one, and the technical know-how to actually detonate it
D. Total collapse of the U.S economy(i.e full blown Depression)Very high probability, and I don't think its going to take 20 years before it happens
E. A terrorist strike on U.S soil far greater than 9-11See nuke answer.
F. President being elected from a 3rd party(i.e Tea Party, Independent, Socialist, Libertarian Slight chance. Those of us in the middle are pretty sick to death of the extremes on both sides. The problem is, those of us in the middle are still all over the map in terms of issues.
G. Govt admitting having contact with Aliens or admitting having captured Aliens in past(Roswell) Originally Posted by wellendowed1911

What I could not envision happening in my lifetime is Galt getting any kind of legitimate degree or recognition from an accredited university or college anywhere in the world.

I think he just audits the classes anyway to avoid any valid measurement or lack thereof of general reason and intellect.
