I don't know if this is a shot or not - but I'll respond as it appears to be (otherwise I apologize):

Sit back and watch what? Watch the world go down in flames in 1999, like Nostradamus predicted? Everyone believed it to be true, especially with all the y2k hype... and especially the religious people with their yelling and screaming all year about the world's end, and the "finally you'll see" shit - but where are they now? It didn't happen. He was wrong. They were wrong. Besides, a large forest fire near a city could have been described by his prediction anyway, due to it's vagueness.

The ability to predict the future, also allows the ability to change the future, and thus destroy the original prediction. How's that for logic? Isn't that what military strategists do every time they are in a war?

I'm beginning to wonder if people think anymore... or if they simply react to situations like animals. I have a friend in 4th year philosophy in university, self proclaimed smart-ass, yet, without a single original non-regurgitated spoken sentence, he is just at stupid and ignorant as the ant on tire that will be squashed when the car starts rolling.

any thoughts?
