    What do you predict will happen in the year 2010. At the end of 2010 we can see just how accurate you were. I will go out on the limb and make a few predictions for the year:

    - Dow up by 27%
    - Democrats sweep the 2010 congressional elections
    - Healtcare Reform in the US passes congress and is signed into law
    - Gold prices touch $830 per ounce
    - Osama Bin Ladin is captured or killed by American forces
    - The US takes signficant military action in conjunction with Yemeni military forces against terrorists

    Some celebrities will die.
    Some new ones will appear.
    SciForums will have at least one large argumentative thread about one or more members.
    There will be incredibly stupid posts made, and, probably, fewer really smart thought-provoking ones.
    Teddies will be thrown out of the cot over things said, implied in, or inferred from, posts.
    I will have a birthday (I predict that most SciForums members will).
    And no-one will tell Codanblad how just silly he looks in brightly coloured spandex.

    Though i would no doubt appreciate the sensitivity, i am already aware i look stupid in spandex. god did not have my chicken legs, man boobs or crutch in mind when he created the elasticy glory of spandex.

    REPLY: Yes, this is the year the U.S. economy turns around for the better and some serious world problems at least start to be resolved. It is already happening. We have a good President and things are changing for the MUCH BETTER. ...TRAVELER

    The US and UK will close their grip on Iran. People will get used to Obama being the same as Bush on Foreign policy.
    Australia will probably see a greater amount of Labour (left) consolidation.

    In 2010, one or more genetic disorders will have an increased chance of recovery.

    The economy will get worse.

    Mischa Barton and/or Lindsay Lohan will die (nothing personal against them; just a prediction).

    The government will pass its socialist healthcare legislation and then the politicians who supported it will pretend to be shocked and outraged at how much it will end up costing us.

    Anderson Silva (a UFC fighter) will lose.

    In UK, General Election in May results in hung (no overall majority) Parliament. Political paralysis scares foreign exchange markets. £ notes so reduced in value as only worth wiping arses on; however use for this purpose results in metallic threads from notes clogging up sewage treatment works. Collapse of sanitation results in outbreaks of typhoid, cholera, etc wiping out most of population. Survivors flee to all points of compass spreading disease around the world.

    2010 celebrated by future historians for end to global overpopulation crisis.

    Happy New Year!

    Israel will bomb uranium enrichment sites in Iran. Iran will threaten justifiable retaliation. The USA will threaten to turn Iran into a smoking crater if it retaliates. The UN will protest and draw up a complaint against Israel, which the USA will veto. Israel will laugh.

    USA unemployment will reach 12%. In Australia it will reach 7%.

    More small banks and other financial institutions will fold, and be bought up by the bigger banks, as happened in 2009, concentrating economic power into fewer and fewer hands. More large USA companies will shut down.

    Large areas of ocean will be full of large numbers of dead fish, and people will wonder why.

    Heavy storms and floods will rock Europe. Perhaps heavier than before.

    Obama will be accused of having an affair.

    A space shuttle will explode or crash.

    Our government loves to throw out some happy-making PR now and then. Unfortunately, the destructive trends in our society which caused the problem are still there.

    I think that's wishful thinking at this point. I predict a slight shift to the favor of the Republicans, but only in the House, and not by much.

    To be honest, I don't think there will be anything "slight" about what happens in the 2010 elections. I think that either the Democrats will completely finish off the Republicans or the Republicans will come back and decimate the Democrats.

    The world will end 2 years earlier than expected. This will piss of a few people who believe in the Mayan's predicting power. The rest of the world will be just slightly annoyed...
