To play Devil\'s Advocate, your first source Vivi is also from a place that has the \'Bible Code\' posted. No offense, but a lot of that is rubbish in my humble opinion.
And to further stimulate this whole debate. What if it does happen a 1,000 years from now? Does it really matter? We\'ll all be dead. Why should you even care what happens that far in the future?
Also, I don\'t doubt that there is this "ring of fire" , but there is also plenty of other big threats that are more in the present or near future. War? Bombs? Bio-chemical warfare? These things are more concering to me than a volacno eruptting and killing everyone a thousand years from now.
As for Clowd\'s theory that things are getting worst, I don\'t really agree. We had natrual diasters in the past, we had violence in the past and yes, we even had wars in the past. The only difference is the media. I remember when school shootings was constantly happening and people was freaking out about how it had never really happened before. The thing was, it had happened before, it had happened in England, it had happened in some small countries and it had even happened in America. It just did not gain the media attenion that the more recent school shootings did. The same applies to natrual diasters and as for the wars - I\'m sorry, but our wars are nothing compared to those of the past.
And you may want to argue that humanity has became more cruel and took a turn for the worse. Once again, I must disagree. In ancient times it was common to stone someone to death for things we overlook now. It was common for killing people in public to be entertainment and things such as rape and child abuse was overlooked and thought to be "normal". Humanity has not took a turn for the worst. We just like to think we are the victums, when for the most part, we aren\'t. This generation has had no great war and we sure in the hell haven\'t had to worry about being stoned to death in public for things we think are minor now\'a\'days. Sure, you may have to worry about being killed or raped, but you would of had the same worry in ancient times and the same worry will continue on in the future. It\'s mankind.
My point to this rant? 1) I don\'t care how we die. There isn\'t something I can do to stop it, so why bother caring about it? 2) Natrual diasters are just that..natrual. We can\'t stop them. We can only prepare for them. 3) Mankind isn\'t getting worst. It\'s in your head. 4) A thousand year\'s is to far ahead for me to care about. I\'m more concerned with the present and even then, I will not lose a nights sleep over what may happen tommorw world wide.
