    What Would Happen If ...........

    .......we had the knowledge that the world really was going to end in 5 years - every scientist on Earth agreed that there was no way of stopping it.

    if it was a day or a week until doomsday no doubt there would be mass hysteria and probably anarchy.

    but the certain end of the world in 5 years - it's interesting to consider what would ensue in those 5 years - how badly would society break down? would people continue to go on working and operating their businesses? would you send your kids to school even when you know that anything they'll learn really isn't going to do anything for them? would people still have children knowing that they won't even reach 5 years of age? how would the rich react - they have vast wealth and there's no longer any point in investing and growing that wealth. how bad would crime be? etc etc

      I think it all depends on how the news initially reported the end of the world in 5 years and how they kept the public up-to-date on that fact. I don't have a lot of faith in the intelligence of humanity, so I'd happen to guess that:

      1. At first announcement there'd be a lot of riots and crime.
      2. Most people would then forget what their rioting about and realize they just fucked up the place they live (if the news of the event stopped). If the news kept mentioning it, people would become desensitized regardless.
      3. Then they'd go back to work and their daily lives.
      4. A few weeks before the incident, regardless of how the news reports the even, return to #1.

      Obviously, there'd be some people who would act differently and change their entire lives for that five years, but I think most people wouldn't.
      Your post count means nothing.
