Originally posted by robbie carrobieYes that is what the quote says, but that is not what Galveston claimed, he claimed the 'world will die in a generation' when quite clearly the articles make no such claim.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieWell your understanding of English is not particularly good if you cant tell the difference between what galveston wrote and what Proper Knob found in one of his sources.
