Are doom & gloomers ever right in their numerous and freqent predictions of disaster?

I'm not simply talking about the garden variety doom & gloomers who are constantly predicting a massive economic collapse or continually warning about the evil plans of the New World Order. I also include the al-Qaeda fearmongers who are constantly predicting nuclear Jihad in America. I'm also talking about the global warming alarmists who predict that the east coast of the US will eventually be submerged in a major flood.

These groups of doom & gloomers have different agendas for sure but they're basically the same in their fearmongering and pessimissm. It's as if they want a disaster to happen so they can screech "I told you so!"

Fortunately, these prophets of disaster are as wrong in their predictions as they are negative and pessimistic.

I really wonder why America is full of these types of people.

I was thinking about this the other day. Unlike the rapture cults of the 20th century, doom-and-gloomers are at least smart enough never to pinpoint WHEN this terrible event will occur. If it happens in 3 days, or it happens in 50 years, the predictions are equally as accurate.

In the cases where they HAVE predicted a date, like supposed food riots in the late 1970s or whatever, they usually have a whole new disaster scenario cooked up by the time their first one fails to come through. Sure helps to sell books, I guess.

OTOH, the "brightsiders" of the world predicted a cakewalk in Iraq, an ever- expanding housing market, didn't reinforce the levies and thought we could get along with Hitler just fine.

How I wish I could go just ONE day in my life without having to see or hear the word HITLER.

Subtle persuasion to imprint it on the minds of the masses. Over and over and over every day every day.

Over and over and over every day every day.

It drives me nuts, I'm so tired of it.

At this point you'd think the only thing that happened during the 20th century was HITLER and his evil deeds.

Yesterday someone here brought up Mussolini, I realized I knew almost nothing about him so I read about him. It made me realize even more how most of what I know of WWII is HITLER.

Hitler is everywhere. There are many documentaries about him on the History Channel, or used to be when I still had a tv, in magazines there are always countless references to Hitler, there are nazi movies put out on a regular basis to further "remind" us, I'm just so tired of being beaten over the head with Hitler. We even have to pay for the construction in this country of holocaust museums, as if we are the guilty party, nevermind American soldiers lost their lives ridding Germany of Hitler.

And nevermind all the millions upon millions who died around the globe during the 20th century as a result of various atrocities. Just yesterday when I read about Mussolini for instance I found out he invaded Ethiopia and had ordinary citizens there killed in an effort to control the place. SO much went on that we never hear about, because we are only suppose to care about what HITLER did.

That was one hell of a campaign; the Italians bombed warriors with spears on horseback with both bombs and guns. The Italians wanted to expand their holdings (Somaliland) in the Horn of Africa.

The Ethiopians being one of the oldest Christian churches didn't seem to affect Italians consciences.

Just recently, however, the Italians returned a giant obelisk back to Ethiopia.

But not to worry, those civilized Britishers, in a campaign supported by the Great Winston, dropped poison gas and mustard gas on both Arabs and Kurds in 1923. Where do you think Saddam got the idea from? Not to mention the gas?

But, you have a mind where you are actually reading up about history. It's a shame but the American educational system thinks history is not essential, hence it's current incorporation into the hodgepodge referred to as social studies.

Last night I was thinking I'd like to find a few good history books, because there is so much that happened that I don't know about. For instance I had no idea about the Italian invasion of Ethiopia and the extent of the brutality of that operation where many men, women and children died horrific deaths.
