    Also, how do you quantify a threat? Number of people killed, effected, wounded, or future impact?



    I'd say terrorism is pretty low on the list, yet it gets the most funding. Pretty lopsided.


    In anycase, all of these advanced weapons the military is buying does nothing for stateless groups they are fighting: you can't declare war on an idea, only war declared by one state on another.

    It's good to see that you're still the same ol' BigDyl...making the wrong choices and reaching the wrong conclusions.
    So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
    of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
    about another group that actually does something
    to improve their lives.

    I vote other for technology. Human beings impulses override their rational thinking far too often for us to successfully manage the tremendous power we have created.

    We are too smart for our own good. Technology in general with no one particular technology being more dangerous than another will be our downfall.

    Ignorance. All the technology and religion in the world is harmless in the hands of a rational, intelligent, empathetic human being.

    In terms of technological demise, "Grey Goo" gets my vote.

    Though i take your point, in terms of HUMANITY ignorance needs power to have any sort of effect on that scale.

    But i guess it only takes one ignorant person to start something, and all the other ignorant people hear about it and agree, and before you know it they DO have power.

    An ignorant person is harmless, ignorant people are dangerous.

    Even those killings done in the name of religion were usually just the desire for more of some item of wealth masked with a religious purpose.

    I was thinking more along the lines of the crusades, and radical islam, and bush doing things because god instructed him to.

    God is used as an excuse to commit crimes (sins).

    However, it's all just a facade for another purpose. What might that be?

    Correct. And they're would be less grabs for power and wealth if there were less people. Additionally, the more the population rises, the more fighting there will be for power and wealth.

    My point stands, religion isn't the biggest threat to the world.

    I suppose there's no wrong answer, but there sure as hell can be a stupid one.
