I Predict In 20 Years People Will Look Back and Say ....
Climate Change was so obvious back then how could they have had doubts and refused to do anything about it.
You mean there used to be more than 3 Major Banks?
Those 9 inch heels women were wearing back then were not functional, made women walk funny, and contributed to an overabundance of orthopaedic injuries.
GO AHEAD ---make your own predictions!

What is it with you DUmmies and climate change anyway? Since the 80's we have been told in the next decade the world will be destroyed by cow farts killing polar bears. More than 20 years have passed and the oceans aren't dead life is still flourishing all over the world. You were wrong 20 years and you are wrong now.
And if dems retain power we will have one bank run by Obama. Giving loans to poor people and charging rich people huge fees to cover the loans to poor people.

Quit exploiting the world and move to a third world country then.

2. Telephones had cables attached to them?
You gotta be kidding. Next thing, you'll try to tell me that there used to be ice in the Arctic.........
Yeah because Algore said 40% of the ice caps is gone it must be true. Maybe it's the temperature of the inside of the earth being several millions of degrees that is melting that 40% of the ice.

20. Yep - in Star Trek they didn't abandon the money economy until
the 22nd century.
well gee if it was in star trek it must be good then. I hate to tell you dummies but the transporter device and people working just for the benefit of the common good and no personal gain is pure fiction.

18. Money is not going anywhere until private property is abolished (Communism.)
Which means that it will never happen.
Not if us teabirthers can help it.
Plus you seem kind of upset that it won't happen.

25. Communism isn't the only alternative to Capitalism
Look to Star Trek for the model. Everything is automated to the point where people choose to do what they want to do, when they want to do it. You don't work for you living, you live the life you choose. And people choose to be productive in their own way. No money problems, so no theft, no corruption, no poverty, and none of the other problems money causes.
Star trek is fiction dumbass. The society you see in the show and movies will not be successful if people don't have incentive to do things then they don't bother. Just like when you buy your dope on the first of the month you dont do anything but lounge around after you light up.

33. "I'm glad we repealed the 22nd Amendment, but wow, how many more terms can this guy stay in office?
He's already been through three Vice-Presidents, and I have to say; I think Michelle has been the best one by far.
Can you believe the response the Draft Malia for President movement is getting? Good thing we were able to ratify the 28th Amendment removing the age limit for eligibility!
Only in your wet dreams DUmmy as it stands now you will be lucky if he gets a second term.

61. "People were thrown into a tizzy because the president was Black!?!"
No we were in a tizzy because Obama destroyed our once great nation. With his policies I don't give a rats ass what pigments he has in his skin its what's in his head that bothers me.

84. "Idiocracy" wasn't really a documentary?
Hell with Obama in office I'm starting to think it was a prophetic movie.

It is hard to grasp where these folks get these things from.
I couldn`t care less right now what I may be saying in 20 years.
Sure I could come up with political "buzz" statements to get all kinds of back slaps but what of it.
The one that thinks Star Trek is a realistic model of a society really takes the cake btw.
That is a special kind of stupid right there. ::)

Back to the future 2 now that was a movie that showed how life would be like now. I drove my flying car to work just today. :-)

In 20 years, people will look at this year as "the good old days" if Lord Obambi keeps getting his way.

I say we take the Wayback Machine in the future 20 years and see if the DUmmies' predictions are correct...
(http://www.affordablehousinginstitute.org/blogs/us/wayback_machine_large_small1.jpg)
The lines between fantasy and reality are completely erased in DUmmyland. That is some kind of mental retardation on display right there.

I predict a landslide loss in 2012 to a strong conservative and that Carter and Mondale will be smiling.

GWB was a great president -- with Tony Blair brought democracy to the ME.

Actually, I think if there are still DUmmies it'll be more like Mystery Science Theatre 3000.

The funny thing about Star Trek is that it's virtually assured nobody worked for free. Going artifact hunting on some backwater planet costs money, and the Federation sure didn't sent Picard out to do that, which means he spent money to do it. Kirk would have thought the notion of working for the common betterment to be an absurdity. Cisco's station featured a promenade with private shops and a prominent bar staffed with platinum obsessed Fergei. Janeway surely wasn't travelling across the Galaxy for less than $10 a day. Lastly, Archer mentioned his superiors as ahving a higher pay grade at one point.
Even the people who write Star Trek were able to see how working for the common good would actually work out.

I'm hoping I don't have to fortify the "Ranch", bring my family and friends in and post 24/7 guards in order to keep DUmmies out within the next 3 years, **** a bunch of 20!!!!

I predict that DUmmies will still be DUmmies.....I think I got a better chance of being right than Jean Dixon ever had.

Yep.
In 20 years the surviving members of the DU flock will still be losers, bitching about the evils of capitalism, demanding that someone do something.
They're still going to be waiting for their Free PonyCornâ„¢ too.

And Hopey McChangeSnorter will be still bitching about how the American people never gave him a chance, and threw his sorry ass out of the White House in 2012.

This of course works perfectly in a TV show script or a fairy tale but in real life would mean that roads which need repair in 90 degree heat will go to ruin,garbage and sewage will simply collect where it is left and so on.
Not one DUmmy would ever "choose" to be productive in a manner that is difficult or unpleasant and very few of the rest of us would either if we didn`t have to.
Human nature is what it is and for any person to consider that a realistic picture of a functioning society is simply idiotic beyond description.
At some point there has to be,just has to be a bottom to the well of stupidity that flows from the DUmp but by God it sure is a long ways down.

I've been toying with the idea of founding a company to produce robots that could do a lot of that stuff. Just like checkouts could be automated so that all the customer needs to do is walk through a gate and swipea card to pay for checkouts, if stores wanted to do it.

This quote is a great little encapsulation of the DU mentality.
Fantasy-based, completely divorced from reality. check
No need to work. check
Productive in "their own way" i.e. sitting around stoned writing dopey poetry or making bad photoshop "art." check
Utopian moonbattery. check

In 20 years these damn loons will be bitching about the same damn thing; I.e. no one is paying their way.
For a testament to that point, look at the older DUmmies. They weren't always older DUmmies.

being one of the dumber members of the cave ,I must admit ,I am surprised that everyone missed this

We may well be saying "Christ, I wish they still could make .308 ammo, the brown bears got Bill up the road last Winter and it's only going to get worse when the polar bears move in ahead of the glaciers."

In twenty years, people will look back and say, "the United States, now there was a nice country; too bad it doesn't exist any more. Too bad they committed national political suicide back in 2008."
Except they'll either be saying it in Mandarin (something like this - hopefully google translate didn't mangle it too badly):美国，现在有一个很好的国家，只可惜它不存在了。太糟糕了，他们承诺的国家政治自杀早在2008年
měi guó， xiàn zài yǒu yī gè hěn hǎo de guó jiā， zhǐ kě xí tā bù cún zài le。tài zāo gāo le， tā men chéng nuò de guó jiā zhèng zhì zì shā zǎo zài2008nián
Or in Hindi (again with google translate):संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका, अब वहाँ एक अच्छा देश था, बहुत बुरा यह किसी भी अधिक मौजूद नहीं है. बहुत बुरा वे राष्ट्रीय राजनीतिक आत्महत्या कर ली 2008 में वापस
sanyukta rājya amērikā, aba vahām̐ ēka acchā dēśa thā, bahuta burā yaha kisī bhī adhika maujūda nahīṁ hai. bahuta burā vē rāṣṭrīya rājanītika ātmahatyā kara lī 2008 mēṁ vāpasa
or, if we're really lucky, in hindi-tinged English (use your own best Asian-indian accent here).
