prediction thread

After having absolutely stunning success with Predictions for 2012, we must get in gear for our predictions for 2013. I shall start with these: 1. A major security problem will plague a prominent company, affecting millions of customers. 2. North Korea will be found to have a surprising...

We've all seen the looming catastrophe on InTrade, and the hecklers are growing ever bolder. It's no secret that Romney is losing it. But I was going to wait until after the first debate to make the call, until today's events. First, there was Ann Romney's pleading for Republicans to stop...

It's far enough out from the election that predictions are a combination of sage wisdom and lucky guess. There are plenty of places with interactive electoral maps; this is the site I used: 270 to Win For bragging rights, you can place your predictions here. Winner is the person whose...

Based on the facts we have this point (which I realize is incomplete), if you had to make a decision, how would you find? There's a lot of speculation here; some wild, some potentially valid. What we do know: - GZ calls 911 to report a "suspicious person" walking the streets of his...

Okay, let's all summon up our psychic powers (the professionals say we ALL have them, and they wouldn't lie, would they?) and let's offer up some predictions for 2010. Please try to focus your powers to the coming year, not to the coming decade. My prediction, in Nostra-dumb-ass form, is of a...

50 billion dollars is the equivilent of 3 years worth of common city crimes committed in America. But I bet he receives a lighter sentence than one might get robbing a 7 11 store. You can kill someone 3 ways physically emotionally, and financially, but only one has a penalty resulting in death.

This is the annual beat the psychics at their own game thread. What will happen in 2009? My preliminary predictions - Someone will take attempt to harm the new President of the USA and fail. - Someone else will actually kill a head of state. - Unemployment will go up a lot around the world. -...

The US is going to be leaving Iraq eventually, as intended. This will happen--the question, will it happen sooner or later. I hereby predict that: 1). If the US leaves relatively soon, the useful idiots on this forum (you know who you are) will be ranting about how the US is "running away from...
