What barve new world will our children enter in the year 2000? 31 new of

It would still be a world of commercials and talk shows. Four years (more like three) is a short time, after all. I'd actually like to see the world our grand-grandchildren enter (remember, I am just 26 years young...), because that would be interesting. We have too many cars and refridgerators, after all. The number of people isn't such a big problem. Or wouldn't be, if we learned humility. Humility to be pleased with what we have, not with what we can gain. But let's keep on discussing!

The Year 2000. The Sydney Olympics! But that year is really the end of this century! 2001 is the beginning of the next millenium. I would like to see a more cooperative and cohesive world. However with all the outright greed of transnational companies, and petty squabbles between ancient neighbours, the world still has a fair way to go before we all start to work better together. Resources, especially non-renewable ones are being diminished, so really as consumers we need to start pressuring our companies and governments into adopting renewable resources and constant energies for the future. Afterall what state are we going to leave the world in?

a female vice-president for the US?

~terry Sat, May 16, 1998 (09:25) #4

Elizabeth Dole/George Bush vs. Al Gore/Hillary Clinton It's possible! Even somewhat likely. Think about it.

~autumn Mon, May 18, 1998 (02:44) #5

More cable channels.

~KitchenManager Wed, May 20, 1998 (05:58) #6

nah. Cable's gonna go to phone/internet service... more satellite channels!!!

~riette Tue, Jun 23, 1998 (21:26) #7

ugh, I hope not!! Have you noticed how some nights one sits there, flicking away across 93 channels - and not a thing that one can watch!! Now, that's what I call a pointless exercise! But I'm not the best judge. I hope the year 2000 plus will bring with it nappies that self-destruct.

~KitchenManager Wed, Jun 24, 1998 (05:09) #8

define nappies please...

~riette Wed, Jun 24, 1998 (06:18) #9

Baby nappies, and perhaps sanitary nappies as well (was that the one you were wondering about?), but not tampons - if they were to self-destruct at the wrong instant, then 'flower in bloom' would be a pretty approprate way to describe the female under-insides. Wer, what the hell's happening to all the other conferences - seems we're the only two left, at rather irregular intervals. Are all the others on holiday, do you think? Damn, wish I were too. Instead I'm bed with a throat- and kidney infection, not to mention the broken arm - what a way to spend summer. Are you working through summer as well? Think I'll take a break towards the end of September once I have this exhibition out of the way. Ugh, it's a long way off . . .

~KitchenManager Wed, Jun 24, 1998 (23:06) #10

don't know, hon, we go through periods of inactivity like this... and, yes, I work all the time...it'll pick up again, and it's nice seeing you branch out to more conferences, I might add...

~riette Wed, Jun 24, 1998 (23:32) #11

Thanks, muffin. No holiday in sight for you yet either?

~KitchenManager Thu, Jun 25, 1998 (02:34) #12

first two that come to mind are unemployment and/or death... *sigh*

~riette Thu, Jun 25, 1998 (21:08) #13

Oh no. You serious? It shouldn't be like that, you know.

~KitchenManager Thu, Jun 25, 1998 (22:20) #14

yep, I know...

~riette Fri, Jun 26, 1998 (06:54) #15

So go on holiday!!!!! Do as the Jews do on a Sabbath.

~KitchenManager Fri, Jun 26, 1998 (15:39) #16

be hypocrites?

~riette Sat, Jun 27, 1998 (12:03) #17

No, go home and fu�k your wife . . . that's what they do.

~KitchenManager Wed, Jul 1, 1998 (07:07) #18

my wife?

~riette Wed, Jul 1, 1998 (10:00) #19

$hit, have I made a blunder? I assumed having kids meant you were married. I am truly sorry, I shouldn't just assume things like that. Forgive me.

~KitchenManager Wed, Jul 1, 1998 (18:47) #20

no, I was aking if the Jews were with my wife on the Sabbaths... that is one of the things you said... (see, I'm still learning 'bout dem porcupines...)

~stacey Wed, Jul 1, 1998 (18:47) #21

*laugh*

~riette Thu, Jul 2, 1998 (10:32) #22

Oh $hit!!! I didn't realize - no wonder some people think I suffer from split personality! Heck, maybe I do! Because when we're friends, Chris calls me Skat, when we fight, it's Ri�tte, and in bed he calls me by my second name. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That exhibition had better happen now, so I can have money to go to a shrink! Luckily I still have that good excuse in the back of my head: 'Oh, I'm following the Kitchen Man!'

~autumn Sat, Jul 4, 1998 (03:21) #23

(nappies are diapers) I wouldn't mind seeing a diaper that changes itself in the next millenium (though I haven;t changed one in 2 years)

~riette Sat, Jul 4, 1998 (05:58) #24

Right now I'm so fed up with nappies (especially with all the cherries we've been eating) that I hope it takes a bit longer - I'd LUV to see these two change their little tikes' cherry nappies!

~KitchenManager Sat, Jul 4, 1998 (06:09) #25

ah, parental revenge... grandchildren!

~riette Sat, Jul 4, 1998 (13:59) #26

Absolutely!!! Do you also contemplate it?

~KitchenManager Sat, Jul 4, 1998 (17:45) #27

nope...way too worried about my daughter following in mommy's footsteps...

~riette Sat, Jul 4, 1998 (18:02) #28

I'm also rather worried about my daughters following in mummy's footsteps. I'll kill them if they do! ($hit, that's just what Mum used to say!)

~sociolingo Mon, Sep 4, 2000 (11:23) #29

Well, here we are in year 2000.... What happened to our thoughts???

~terry Mon, Apr 30, 2001 (05:18) #30

And now it's 2001.

~sociolingo Fri, May 18, 2001 (11:29) #31
