I will emerge (having been cyrogenicaly frozen in a bunker with many, many, H-bombs) and become total ruler and dictator for life of the world.


Hmmm, a world ruled by pie. Sounds tasty.

Okay, some fun and not so fun predictions...

Technology will probably have solved the simi-energy crisis surrounding oil by 50 years out.

There will be no communist government within 50 years, but there will still be dictatorships and other forms of totalitarian states.

Europe will look like Israel in terms of ethnic tensions and violence. The riots in France a few months ago is a prelude.

Tiawan will still be independant from China.

Social Security will either be privitized or ended; it can't go on as is.

Canada will break up and some of the provinces will join the United States with deals similar to Puerto Rico.

The UN will either disband or be even more impotent than it is now. It will no longer be housed in New York regardless of what happens.

The EU will finally resemble a United States of Europe. Turkey will join, but that will be it. No further southward expansion.

Russia will lose the Chechans, but only after another war. China might sieze some Russian territory and the Russians will have to accept it because the only alternative is to swap nukes.

N. Korea will rejoin the South much like East Germany joined west. This may or may not happen without a major war. I give it 75\25 chances in favor of peaceful unification.

Brazil will be an emerging first world economy in S. America.

Computers will no longer use silicon chips.

football will be a big sport in the US, but I still won't care.

Global warming will still be the big threat that could hit at "any time"

There will not be any form of Star Trek franchise material on TV or in theaters except for reruns.

The number of newspapers will dwindle until only major papers are left. Newspaper medium is on the way out. People will continue to read less in any form.

A lot of that list sounds a little grim, but overall I think the world will be a happier place with increased standards of living for most people.

I've been to CostCo. I also have something called a Sam's Club that is like a CostCo too. But to hell with the U.S. and China, Walmart IS the super-power. :D

Sam's Club is owned by Walmart.

America will still be powerful, but not a super-power. Think France.

China will be the super-power.

Brazil will be much stronger, but not a super-power.

India will be muchs stronger, but not a super-power.

The EU will nearly be a country and it will rival China.

The Middle-East will shrivel up a blow away when all the oil is gone.

Still no nuclear war.

UN is gone or just as worthless as it already is.

Technology kick even more ass, but doesn't solve world peace. It helps solve world hunger, but people just get born. It helps fight disease, but we just find more ways to die.

Law and Order (the TV show) will still be going strong.

Everybody still knows coconut cream is the best pie.

CostCo is Sam's Club on steriods. Not only do they give the bulk supplies and prices, they have their own gas chain (which have the smartest pump idea ever, you can fill up from either side without problem), and a pizza chain. I'm sure they more than that too.

The EU and China will be the major superpowers. China's sphere of influence will include East and Southeast Asia, while India will remain in charge of South Asia. The EU will expand to Europe and a few countries outside.

America will have sorted a few of it's problems out, but it won't stop them from losing superpower status. They'll probably take a major economic hit by the mid-21st century from an oil crisis of some sort. Perhaps an international crisis destabilizes the Saudis and other countries willing to give us their oil, or maybe the stuff just runs out. By 2100, nuclear power will probably provide the lion's share, and followed by renewables. (This assumes that several extreme Greenpeace members don't bomb a nuclear reactor during this century in protest of the risk of meltdowns that nuclear power poses)

Some parts in Africa be well stabilized, such as the areas around South Africa and Nigeria (although political borders may be redrawn several times in the process). The rest will remain to be a total crap hole. Genocide will become a well-established institution of African culture. Each year, a country will be chosen at random to hold to Big Annual African Genocide.

The Middle East will fall to ruin as the oil market dies. The countries without major oil production industries will be alright. Turkey will be a member of the EU, and will be able to ride out the chaos, possibly becoming a leader of the region. Israel will also remain stable, assuming it wasn't destroyed previously by its neighbors.

Groups similar to the EU will form. North America will only form such a group after Mexico's economy has grown to fully industrialized levels. At this point, illegal immigration will likely have slowed to a near halt, although Lou Dobbs will continue to talk about Mexicans daily (despite dying in 2023).

North Korea's leader, Il Kim Fung, will be fucking crazy.

In 2056, everyone will realize that key lime pie is awesome.

In about 50 years :

USA : Will be split up in independent countries or will live on as a confed.
EU : Will be completely unified except for a few nations (probably the Netherlands and Belgium, which might get reunified and Switzerland). Also will contain small parts of Northern Africa and Central Asia.
China : Will emerge as a super power, at least around 2030. Becomes more liberal in economy in order to grow to the level of superpower.
Russia : Splits up into the autonomous oblasts and the rest of Russia. The new state will either be a new Sovjet Union or an ochlocracy ruled by the mob.
Islamic world : Unifies into a single nation, becomes another superpower.
Africa : Will be dominated by the African Union. Uses the reserves it has to resolve poverty. Becomes a federation, much like the USA.
India & Sri Lanka : India will lose the Dravidion states, and Sri Lanka will be split in Sri Lanka and Tamil Eelam, which joins the Dravidian states. India will be a superpower, allied to the European union. Will also lose cast society.


As for language :

Dominating language in China : Mandarin Chinese. All of the population will speak this.
America : Still good ol' english.
EU : Being under pressure of America and China, both Chinese and English will be spoken. Numerous of creoles will flourish in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
Africa : English. Variety of English will be influenced by African languages, much as what happened to Dutch before developing into Afrikaans.
India : Will abandon English, in favor of Hindi and Mandarin Chinese.

Changes to languages upcoming :

English : Will loose case system completely and becomes a completely isolating language. Will include LOTS of Chinese loanwords. Will be split up into three main
dialects :

  • U.S. English
  • European English
  • African English

That's what I think what will happen, I hope I'll live on to see whether it really happens - before I'll die of cancer (really - it's in the family)

Hm, Brazil and India; forgot to mention those two.

India- Will become a major power, but not a superpower due to conflicts with China.

Brazil- Major power in the Americas, maybe by 2200 a superpower.

I suppose I should also do....

Africa- Same ol' craphole, save a few nations; namely South Africa and Egypt. I mean, they faired off FAR better under colonial rule; maybe they should have some outside rule again, gradually declining until they can all function independently. But it'll never happen.
Deep unspeakable suffering may well be called a baptism, a regeneration, the initiation into a new state.

North Korea will nuke Japan and then immediately surrender to South Korea before anyone can retaliate.

Five bucks says the U.S. is crushed under the weight of its own debt (which savvy countries will use to manipulate it).

North Korea- regime will eventually collapse as governments that fucked up can't survive for long

China- World superpower with massive influence in the Muslim world, some parts of South America and Africa (hopefully will become democratic- the future if the world depends on it)

USA- Don't think it will fragment will either ruin itself fighting a cold war against China or will give up becoming world policeman due to the massive cost, maybe a North American Union will form

Europe- Will slowly and painfully become closer and will remember why it loves America as the Chinese threat looms or if a couple of pretentious (probably french) treachous cunts gain power the EU may even help China into overtaking the USA

Africa- Africa will be the only place on Earth to be going backwards

South America- Will be torn between supporters of America and China, Brazil will eventually become very powerful

Middle East- As fucked up as today but Iran will probably become democratic and Iraq will probably be a dictatorship, authoritan democracy or Islamic republic.

India- Also very powerful may be playied off against China or become very close allies with them

Russia- Actually I was wrong above Russia will be going backwards as well either someone will sort the country out and it can join the EU for a bright future or one of the skinhead thugs that roam the streets will sieze power and create a facsit state

The only way to beat China in a Cold War would to form a strong alliance between the EU, USA and India, Brazil or Russia

For inside the US:
Next 20-50 years:
Racial stereotypes will continue to exist and there will be two will be in two seperate groups of races. Whites and Asians will make up one group while Blacks and Mexicans will make up the other group. The whites and asians will have control over the middle and upper class while the blacks and mexicans are usually stuck in the lower class.

Next 40-70 years:
The seperation between the upper and lower class will reach its breaking point and the system will either collapse or have to go under reconstruction to produce a more social captitalistic government. This down period will help in the downfall of America from it's superpower status. While this is happening, The Blacks and Mexicans start to move forward and join the ranks with the Whites and Asians.

Next 60-100 years:
The class system will either enclose or start to spread out again but it will start to move. Racial sterotypes will start to disappear because everyone is starting to get an equal chance with status.

Well, I think that the USA, China, and possibly Brazil, India, Russia, and the EU will be the superpowers of the new world. The UN will be gone, replaced with coopration between the superpowers. (Besides, it is useless anyway :) )

World goverment? Maybe.

Middle East will lose it's value once it runs out of oil, I am sure of that.

I doubt the US will break apart unless it is invaded and split up Germany style.

The Middle-East won't consolidate until Muhammed comes back. ie. NEVER.

Does anybody think that when the US shrinks down that it could join the EU?

Africa will still be a hell hole.
