what does our future hold?

rabbit, pigeon, hare, goose, wild duck,(all varieties) are all foods i eat at the moment not because i have to, but because i like to
all are currently free and cost only the price of a cartridge or pellet
add all this to home grown veg and maybe a yeast culture in the kitchen cupboard and you could be looking at the future of many house holds

I wonder what would happen if someone discovered intelligent life somewhere in the nearby universe? Do you think the petty little squabbles over borders/resources/sovereignty etc would still be relevant? Who knows? 
And if you look at them in the light of the world being well overdue a planet-killing disaster (meteors, swing in magnetic poles etc) then again, is it really worth the hassle?
Anyone fancy a shag? :giggle:

The sun will slowly expand into a red giant, pushing the Earth farther out into space, but not far enough.
Our home planet will be snagged by the sun's outer atmosphere, gradually plunging to its doom inside the fiery stellar furnace.

i think this is a little more apt
Given the terrible events unfolding in Japan today and the 30ft Tsunami wave that might wipe out whole territories in the Pacific, the future is not bright....
We live well to the west of the Massif Central in France - a volcanic region which has not been active for hundreds of years. We were only thinking today what would happen to France if these dormant volcanic regions became active once more :scared:
Doesn't bear thinking about and I really feel for the peoples of the Pacific rim.
Puts the little skirmishes in Libya into context eh?

The last 10 years has seen huge global shifts of economic power and wealth and most economists expect similar changes in the future.
I think it is more important than ever to try and predict trends and plan accordingly. We can all make small changes to minimize the impact.
The British state is not too good at adapting to changes quickly. Our school language departments for eaxample are still focusing on teaching teaching French when graduate recruitment is already heading toward China.
In a changing world, past performance is less useful for decision making.
Oil and other commodity prices look set to rise significantly, oil probably at least doubling (at today's prices) over the next 20 years. I struggle to see British domestic property providing the sort of investment returns that have made the baby-boomer generation so wealthy. It is worrying that Baby boomers are encouraging their children to buy UK property when the future UK property market is in a completely different place to the 'property owning democracy' of the 1980s
The Uk is stll suffering negative GDP growth yet some emerging market economies are enjoying 8 to 10% growth and this opposite moverment looks set to continue as the UK lurches toward stagflation and interest rate rises.

The British state is not too good at adapting to changes quickly. For example, send your teenage kids to Chinese classes. When they leave university that is where they will be working, and not in a Parisian Patisserie.
Do your own research on investments using hard numbers and not emotion and tradition.
Oil and other commodity prices are likely to rise significantly, oil probably at least doubling (at today's prices) over the next 20 years. British domestic property will probably not see similar price movements. The reason for this pretty simple, there is negative GDP growth in this country but 8 to 10% growth in Asia.
I'm not sure china is going to be a force for long... poorly produced goods are fast earning china a reputation for shoddy workmanship
I'm quite confident that this will end the oil problem just as soon as they work out how to extract it

Not sure this is strictly true. There is no property crisis in this country, what we have is a financial crisis brought about by a knee jerk reaction to the previous "wrong doings." There is a housing shortage in this country and the lack of new build starts will result in a critical shortage within five years. If banks were to abandon their current lending criteria and focus more on debt to income ratio as opposed to LTV then the property market would get moving again. Anyone obsessed with the idea that rising property prices just makes those who can afforsd it wealthy then that wealth could be controlled by a change in CGT rules. A recovering property market will kick start the country's revival simply because of the amount of allied services to the construction industry.

I think you should look to Japan then.
The first cars they sold in the UK developed rust before they even got to their first are now one of the worlds leading car makers.
Dont think everything China sell`s is of poor quality.
The west is very keen to exploit the cheap labour and manufacturing cost they offer.
Another 10yrs may well see CHINA as the worlds dominant power, both in terms of wealth and manufacturing.
