Are you to blame?

Huffington Post

Why is everything running out at the same time? We did a series on Planet Green where we looked at why those basic things that we take for granted, like water, food and fuel are getting expensive and scarce, all at once.

Can you think of anything else we are running out of?




Corn



Oil



Soil



Nat Gas



Water



Electricity



Rice



Metal

Why is there some weirdo holding a machine gun in the rice fields?

[SpringCreekFarm]

I use all of those things either directly or indirectly so yes, I am to blame for my share.

so they have to work without questions, or else.

"why is everything running out at the same time?"

market efficiency ensures that will happen.

when rice prices increased, some farmers started to use armed protection against thieves

The human race is to blame. I like the description in "The Matrix" by Agent Smith. Humans are like a disease, a pestilence, like a virus. But the key thing was he said we were like a parasite. We just feed and feed until all the resources are gone, then spread to another area. Then repeat the same cycle.

indeed, and technology was basically made as our mostly fossil-fueled host due to our lazyness to work and our hedonistic, greedy, arrogant, ... whims. We're the parasites of our own industrial technology.

I blame the universe. We are only running out of all these basic commodities and natural resources because they are leaching into and beyond the outer atmosphere. Eventually we will have no plants, no soil, no energy, no water, and probably no people. All sucked into a vacuum. It is really a cruel joke.

This. In Thailand, the farmers have to sleep in their fields because theives will steal it right out of the patties. The armed guards aren't too much of a stretch of the imagination.

"I wouldn't want my child growing up in a world headed for total heat death and dissolution into a vacuum," said Kansas state senator Will Blanchard (R-Hutchinson). "No decent parent would want that."

Apparently, we're not in danger, yet, of running out of trash?

HAMBURG: Naples's garbage - the plastic Ferrarelle water bottles, the soggy copies of Internazionale magazine, the decomposing kitchen compost - has ended up here, waiting to be dumped into an incinerator on the outskirts of this tidy German city.

For months, mountains of rotting trash have piled up in the streets of southern Italy because the region has run out of places to put it. So for the time being - for 11 weeks actually - a 56-car train will arrive in Hamburg every day after a 44-hour journey, each bearing 700 tons of Neapolitan refuse.

"We are doing this because we were asked to provide emergency aid, but we will do it only for a few months, not years," said Martin Mineur, technical director of two of Hamburg's incinerators, as a steady stream of trucks carrying garbage from the train station roared by. "This is not a long-term solution. Italy will have to solve Italy's problem."

The OP forgot the 9th thing that we are also running out of and that is BEE'S...

[cowuvula]

The tenth thing is PATIENCE.

[WeLiveForHim]

Are you to blame?

The loss of our resources and the fall of our economy has already been foretold in the Bible. Everything is happening by the Book! Those who are saved should have no fear. Jesus said when these things start to happen, they are merely birthing pains of the end to come and to look up because our redemtion is near.

I pray that all put their hope and trust in the Lord. Accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and savior, repent, and be baptized. In Jesus unmatchless name I pray and ask it, Amen!

[Twilight]

Good point. I blame Jesus. The guy owes me ten quid anyway.

[MrBill]

Who let the Bible thumper in? I am also a Christian. I even took religious studies at a Lutheran college. Of the seven deadly sins Pride is considered the original sin. And the worst is the sin of religious pride. We are all subservient to God. God put us on this earth to make something of it and ourselves. Not to wait around for Armageddon like a bunch of sheep. Pray for us that work.



‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’

I suppose the evolution throughout history and human ingenuity are the causes of our position.
