The guy's name is Bushfriend....what are you talking about?
While I'm on the subject, I don't get people who come onto a board and give themselves a name that reflects their political views. As far as I know ATS wasn't meant to be a political board (though it has turned into one).

The Earth has over 10000 Nuclear wepons, future generations are killed by abortions 4000000 in the u.s alone. Horrible diseases kill millions every year ( look how many were killed by flu in the u.s this year alone. Tons of Bio and germ weopons sit in unused waiting to leak or be used. Billions of people can't get a clean glass of water. Corrupt politicians steal from the people and get money from large corporations for gov. hand outs. The population increases while farmers are run out of business and cities are built on farm land. In the future these problems will be worse. Some say we could reduce overpopulation . But there are only two at most planets that could be colonized in our solar sytem. Worst of all beyond intersteller travel in almost impossable. Lets say we see a nice earth like planet only 100 light years away. SO we send a colony ship to that planet but that planet was destroyed after the light reached our telescopes. Beam me up scotty these people are doomed.
So overpopulation is only a problem when the FEW have the MOST wealth/resources of the planet.

Just figuring this out now, lilblam?
On the subject of ultimate human demise - well, what did'ja expect. Every species on this planet is bound to an inexorable fate - death, extenction. It's been happening for eons. It accelerated the moment our primative relatives learned to stand erect.
I belive that Bangin is on the right track - just sit back and wait, try to make the most of the time the human race has left in this universe, and hope that a better species comes along and is a much more benevolent guardian than we have been.
Nuke holucaust, worldwide disease, or whatever, our time is going to end. It will be sooner than later unless we realise that this is the only Earth we have, and the only one that we'll probally ever find.
Am I just figuring this out now? I dunno what gave you that impression, but you've said some rather silly things, so maybe you're the one who hasn't figured much out yet?
First, you say that after humans are out, you hope a better race comes along afterwards, and is a more benevolent guardian. Who do you think will define what "better" is? What's wrong with humans exactly? Also, what are we supposed to be guardina again? Oh don't tell me we're guarding Earth! Oh yes, we will really protect it if it's on a collision course with another planet or a huge meteorite. Get real, we're not GUARDING it, we're living on it, using its resources up for our purposes, and we could care less what happens to the Earth as long as we survive. We only care about our own existances!
But when you claim that we'll never find anything better, that's just ignorant. We already found over 100 planets in other star systems with out telescopes or what not. If you give us 500 years or so, we'll be exploring these star systems too. It's only a matter of time before we find a kazillion of Earth-like planets that are perfectly suitable for human life. Why am I so sure? The same way columbus was sure the Earth was round before everyone else seemed to think so.
