I will believe the Saudis don't see any upcoming problems with Ghawar when they cancel one of their projects due to low oil prices. If they continue to be full steam ahead with increasing their capacity then I think they are aware that Ghawar may not be as robust in 5 years time as they would like us to believe.

What are the aspects of modern life today that you won't miss post-peak?

(if there's been a thread on this already, my apologies, please merge, feel free to move to Open Discussion if you see fit)

I, for one, will not miss lawnmowers & leafblowers.

SUV's and large personal trucks. I am delighted beyond words that the market for those monstrosities has fallen apart. Smile

I'll be happier when they're all gone. Yes, I won't miss them at all.

Narz, try doing a search for your EXACT thread title.

I warn you though, Pops won't like it... Very Happy

Another vote for leaf blowers.

To see a grown man with an engine strapped to his back blowing dust around a parking lot, whilst spewing out a cloud of exhaust and annoying the hell out of anyone in earshot is a pathetic sight, and testament to what a depraved lot we've become.

We have a lot of that in Los Angeles. We also have a lot of people who 'water' their pavement to get all the diesel soot off of it (since it never rains here). What a waste of resources.

The people have little autonomy over their reality-negating mythology. It is not their fault, but that of their unhealthy culture.

Yeah, you're right, people don't create culture. We get it gift wrapped from the Anunaki, who bought it at the mall!

Tiger Woods

Hopefully, by some miracle of justice, the Neocons will be executed, the USGS will be completely discredited, and Bush will be back in his formerly successful life as a drunk.

And, have to say it, SUVs and McMansions.

People in denial of reality.
On the contrary MQ I expect people to be in denial until the bitter end. Even after half the population dies off from over-shoot I fully expect idiots to come onto this forum (assuming it's still around) blaming environmentalists, speculators, OPEC, or whoever will be a popular target for a witch hunt.
//
There was a former infamous poster on this forum, "LoneSnark", who's argument rested on this "theory" that there are copious amounts of oil / resources available but it's not being developed for whatever reason, politics, inefficiency, etc... He even argued that oil would drop down to $10 and we'd have enough for at least 100 years if only these resources can be exploited.

I fully expect people to make the same asinine arguments all the way until humanity collapses back to the dark ages. Rolling Eyes

I won't miss
1. Multiculturalism!
2. Obese Wal Mart shoppers
3. Rap and most of the other depraved music
4. Modern art-and modern architecture
5. Million dollar sports players and singers. "Tiger Woods a billionaire to play a past time game??" Lybron James throws a ball into a hoop and makes 1,000 X more money then a brain surgeon??
6. Welfare people, and people who are too lazy to work! ie people who use the system. "in the 1700s if a women had a baby and couldn't support it..the child was sold as an indentured servant....The state didn't pay the women a free apt, money, food stamp ect...
7. Fundamentalism-Christianity- I hope this crap dies off with the die off! And their million dollar evangelist with them!
8. Stupid TV- crap like- Ellen Degenerate Show- American Idol-Opera Wiphey's-ect...
9. Liberal people- people who love diversity! I prey to god these people get a taste of their own medicine..."For example in the UK they took in 100,000 gypsies in the past 2 years...I hope they spread out to all liberal areas of the UK and when the people are poor and destitute they can know just why people in Eastern Europe never wanted these people..
10. Supporting and Assisting the 3rd world....ie 1st world nations helping to increase the population of these people...where if left to mother nature their would have never been to these levels..
