I fear hardening tyranny.
The coming global economic fiscal meltdown is going to kill more people than GloBULL warming and terrorism combined.
I fear the bunny with the pancake on its head...

The way you chose to define “terrorists”, as if their use of a nuclear weapon would be their only threat to us, is limited and not logical.
What about mall attacks, sporting events, bombs in subways, chemical weapons, biohazard attacks, etc.?. Those are all, IMO, MUCH more likely than any issue that “global warming” might create for me those who matter to me.
I fear that Cher will do another movie.

I fear Black women shopping in WalMart!
How about one fear is based in reality and the other comes from the absurd fantasies of a greedy sex poodle?
those words are coming from Taqiyyan lips as they build more mosques daily and install a shadow Muslim administration. You gotta consider the context and source on these types of things. Just sign on the dotted line; no need to read the contract, besides its only a formality...
Having lived next to the ocean my whole life, I can tell you from first hand experience this whole sea level rise thing is nonsense. Sea levels are right where they have always been, or if they are rising the difference is too small to be perceived.
Can’t answer. My notions vary considerably from yours
From the collected essays and reviews of J.B.Kelly, titled: “Islam Through the Looking Glass” (chapter 2, Pg. 32) The following essay was initially printed in “The New Republic” on July 26, 1980:
“The nerveless acquiescence of the Western nations in the frequency of oil price rises since the Tehran confrontation of 1971 has been prompted in the main by the hope that the acquiescence will gain them security of oil supplies. It will, of course, do nothing of the kind. All that continual surrender does is to strengthen the financial weapon in the economic armory of the Middle Eastern oil states. But there are even more insidious dangers to the West in the inexorable accumulation of great wealth by these states than the threat to its economic health. Because this wealth has been obtained without effort on the part of the states in question, it has had a profoundly corrupting influence upon their governments and upon numbers of their subjects, a corruption made all the more inevitable by the nature of Arab and Iranian society. As greater riches are amassed, the process of corruption will intensify, hastening the spread of instability in Arabia, Iran and the Gulf. It is doubtful whether at an time in the history of mankind a group of intrinsically insignificant polities, at a comparatively primitive stage of economic, political, and social development, has possessed such enormous financial power as the handful of Gulf states now dispose of. As the governments of the Gulf states are moved to employ this power for political and other purposes abroad, the corruption will spread beyond the Gulf, influencing and disturbing governments and societies in lands far removed from them in customs, culture and religion.
It is beyond our scope here to examine at any length the injurious effects of Arab and Iranian oil money upon the West. That the contagion already has entered the body of the West can be confirmed by the merest glance. It is present in financial and commercial circles, though its workings are rarely exposed to public view. It has penetrated politics and government, especially in Britain, France and the United States, where the spectacle of high-ranking ministers, officials, and politicians wheedling, flattering, and fawning upon the plutocrats of Arabia and Iran has become a daily occurrence. To the Western public, growing increasingly uneasy and dejected at the progress of the contagion, it is glibly explained by their rulers and by those in public life to whom they look for instruction and guidance that the contagion does not exist; or if it does, that it is benign; or if it is not benign, then there is nothing to be done about it.”
Déjà vu – sigh. Insert appropriate Santayana quote about history ignored here.
I view it all as entertainment...it’s the only way to achieve a degree of happiness. The zeitgeist is what it is in spite of my efforts or desires. It is a good time to be old and I won’t waste time trying to fool myself in to believing that it is going to get better anytime soon.
Enjoy your memories of what America used to be, you’ll never see it again.
I don’t know if ‘fear’ is the right word, but I’m really no longer as fearful or concerned about things like terrorism, Putin, China, nuclear war, etc., as I used to be.
Not when America itself is being transformed before my eyes into a kind of one-party, totalitarian banana-republic, with a culture so grotesquely vile and depraved that it no longer seems to even merit the effort to salvage it as a country. This renders all those outside dangers rather moot, from my perspective.
Sea levels began to rise 18k years ago at the end of the last glacial period. They have risen about 135 meters since then which is an average of 7.5 millimeters per year. That is an average of 750 mm per century (29.5 inches) which is far more than the average over the last century.
From 1880 to 2000 sea level rose about 20 cm or just under 8 inches. Far far less than the nearly 30 inches per century average over the last 18,000 years.
You should fear becoming a minority in your own country. You should fear for the future of your White children in a third-world country.
I fear a terrorist nuclear attack less than a nuclear conflict caused caused by the United States going to war with Russia over ‘gay rights,’ ‘democracy,’ or some other similar pretext.
While Islamic political control of the United States is unlikely, it is plausible that France with its nukes could have an Islamic friendly government at some point. That is a ‘terror nuke’ worth considering.
