Ok. Where is the "homo skinheads will have flourished in 2008" part?

Sorry, I don't do that because I don't have sex with family or relatives like where you're from.

Creepy thing is - the majority of that article is TRUE and has happened. Granted, some stuff is still off or far fetched, but pretty damn accurate.

not in details but a lot of it is quite accurate... ie navigation system with traffic.. auto-distance cruise control.. if we can play dvd and get reception in car we can sure as hell download newspaper...tv phone = smartphone. during a lazy part of my life i ate with plastic and paperware and threw everything away yes they are cheap

etc etc etc

pretty good predictions and of course 20h and 21st century was quite a big step change in technology and advancement

could be we as accurate in predicting 40 years ahead?
