[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Official "predictions for 2005" thread... (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 12/29/2004 2:58:05 PM EDT

IIRC there was a thread like this last year.

My predictions didn't come true then, at least not on a big scale.

For '05?

World: Some world leaders will try to suck up to GWB. At least one big natural disaster (on par with the Florida hurricanes of 04). North Korea will get louder and louder.

US: Press will continue Dubya-bashing. GWB will unveil some radical new programs.

Added bonus: Some kind of great technological wonder will be discovered.

At least 1 states will pass a state level "assault weapon" ban.

US troops will still be in Iraq on Jan 31, 2005.

We will not capture Osama Bin Laden.

Foreign terrorist will attack the continental US after sneaking across the US/Mexico border.

Sarge will quit his day job and focus 100% on making doll productions.

Another 9/11 but not nearly as bad.

Rem700PSS buys a membership.

Easter, Christmas, ST. Pat's Day, and all holiday colors are banned from schools.

Schools ban pens, pencils, notebooks, and text books because of their potential hazards.

Moore gains another 50lbs and makes a film about fat slobs in America.

And finally, something major will happen at AR15.com...not sure what it is, but something major will happen.

I also predict that this tread will get eaten by the 6 month buffer and we will never get to see if the predictions come true...thus making this statment worthless.

I predict that I will finally hit the point where I have to decide between selling off a few extra guns or buying another safe. I can also predict that most likely, I won't be buying a safe in the coming year.

ETA - The good news is that the only thing that would force such a decision is an influx of cool new guns.

Iran's Nuclear Reactor gits hit by Israelis.

Earthquakes throughout Asia.

War continues in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Saudi Arabia teethering into revolution. Only an iron hand (repressive) can save them.

CA bans more guns (OK, that's predictable).

I will buy some cool new guns. Also a bunch of other crap.

Talk radio, cable news, and weblogs will get more viewers. Network news will get less viewers.

About a 25% chance of another rathergate-type scandal - liberal reporters caught red-handed trying to boost the Democrats through fraud

PLCA will be signed into law

Repeal of DC gun ban will at least come up for a vote

Another state will get Shall-Issue CCW

No gun bans will make it out of either house of congress

California will ban some more guns (sorry guys, that one's gonna take a while to clean up)

Something will happen with SS

The economy will grow at a record rate, but Liberals will still call it a terrible economy

On these fronts:

Geographical - Portland OR will be destroyed when Mt. Hood erupts.

Financial - A hitherto unknown 12 year old will hack into the computers of Wall Street stock companies and wreck the U.S. economy.

Political - Hitlary will divorce Bill and marry Michael Moore. While waiting for the pitter patter of little whale's feet around the house they will forge an alliance between the far left and the extreme far left factions, thus decimating the democraptic party. MM will make a new movie about the joys of home life.

3 terrorist attacks using chemical weapons. Two will fail for the most part. One will have moderate casualties.

Suicide bombers will start in the US.

Iraq will seem to degenerate into anarchy except for the Kurdish north and we will be looking at our exit strategy.

The US economy and that of the world will continue current, albeit gradual, growth trends.

Kim Jong-Il will have an attempt on his life.

Don Rumsfeld will "resign".

Michael Moore will still be a POS but I predict he will survive the year, sadly. Not too many more though.

Illegal immigration will be a worsening problem but I don't see any shoot outs on the border. Yet.

More earthquakes coming.

Bad year for tornadoes in the US.

Personally I hope that 05 is a very good, prosperous year for all.

Upon further thought, I think that as the Iraq elections draw nearer we're going to see more and more terrorist activity. I wouldn't be surprised if our terror Alert Level got raised a notch or two- and that the terrorists attempt some funny business here in the US.

My secondary concern after the war in Iraq and Terrorism is North Korea.

I officially predict that Sarge will come up with a new group of films featuring the antics of the God Squad, made up of the more vocal Christians on the site. Old Painless will be one of the members, and perhaps I will even play a small role.

It will be utterly sacreligious, but funny as the dickens.

[#33]

another terrorist attack on American soil but this time it is carried out by Tango's that came across the border as OTMs and supported by RoP® members here in the US

MM will have cardiac surgery

Hitlery will start to portray ~~its~~herself as a moderate

CA will have another dumb gun ban

another bad year for hurricanes(sorry Florida & I'm not talking football) and NY to get their q 75 year Cat 5 hurricane

another bad year for tornados across KS, OK, & TX

Mount Rainer, St. Helens, or Hood to have a major eruption/sesmic event

CA to have >7.0 richter earthquake

SARS to escape China and makes it to Africa, ~200 million dead in 6 months

US economy continues to improve but the left continues to pronounce it a recession

6.8 SPC factory ammunition will finally appear

US forces still in Iraq for next Christmas and Left trying to drum up VietNam style war protests to promote their Marxist agenda

sanity found on DUh, then promptly banned

Lone Star Guns to reopen in spite of its distractors best efforts(it's a Texas thing)

wganz to get >2 AR15s in spite of best efforts to spend money on training & trigger time instead

North Korea will start being a little bastard causing us to go take care of it. During that time Iran is going to invade Iraq because of the decreased American troop levels and the lack of a working Iraqi Army.

Colt_SBR's "Official predictions for 2005"

I’ll win the Florida Lotto.

Buy a nice motorhome and tow my motorcycle behind it. Have a Hottie BOTD drive while I take photos.

Tour the United States of America.

I’ll buy anything I want, anytime I want.

I get a wireless laptop computer and log onto AR15.com and post photos of my tour. Also post photos of my BOTD driver.

Below is a teaser photo of my tour of the U.S. of A..
I wake up and find myself in a mental institution dressed in a straight jacket.

Nice dream. Now back to work.

im thinking someone may set off an explosive or similar in a terror attack It will be something thats based as more of a liquid or gel form, possible brought in as a drink or medical type of liquid.

Foreing Ecoterrorist will strike in the continental US after sneaking across the Canadien border. Detroying SUV's, spiking trees, and burning new developments.
