Combining all of our collective wisdom, drawing upon all the GMNA's, let's try to predict which SHTF scenario we could expect to see in the future.
Large solar flares blows away the atmosphere.
The End.

You really know how to tell a story
It has the beginning, middle, and end all in one sentence.
I fully expect this thread to have the LHC some where in it though. Don't forget it!

Large Hadron Collider?
And where's the middle? I only see a beginning and end.
And where's the middle?
How long is a piece of string?

#1 followed by #4 followed by zombie bear invasion (thank GOD we've already sorted out what caliber to use)

Film at Eleven!
I'm going with Riots & Civil Unrest.
But hell, seems to already be happening...
So if we are rally doing the Crazy SHTF Predictions:
"Zombie bears invade Large Hadron Collider and create small black hole near Jupiter - film at 11."
Later news: Zombie bears abandon Earth in spaceships through Jupiterian black hole.. leave note saying: "Later, meatbags!"

Hard choice between unrest and depression. I think unrest is more likely though.

I could not choose just one on the poll. Everyone of those are very real threats that could happen anytime maybe even today right now this very second. Even a mistake on the Nuke radar could have us sending nukes over to russia thinking we are under attack and in reality we are not, it has almost happened twice now. And with the Human race LONG LONG LONG over due for a massive plague something is going to break i can promise you that, it is only a matter of time now. Sad thing is you probably wont even know about it until its too late. the media wont report it in fear of causing mass panic. so just be ready for anything.

Dude you can't pick them all. You can only have one!
I pick depression. Ever since that pharmacy got ripped off last week, there has been a real lack of SSRI's on the market.
I picked depression on the poll, that's what's coming first.

I vote that the machines will take over and nuke the planet and the fall out will cause a nuclear zombie apocalypse. (glow in the dark zombies are fun to shoot at night)

All of the above.
An attack of some sort will lead to economic collapse and a depressed economy. That will lead to civil unrest. All of this will conspire to cause widespred disease and plague.

Just for those who were curious like me. Tom Joad from Wiki:
The novel narrates the story of Tom Joad and his family as they travel from Oklahoma (http://www.co-ar15.com/wiki/Oklahoma) to California (http://www.co-ar15.com/wiki/California) in the midst of the Great Depression (http://www.co-ar15.com/wiki/Great_Depression). The book begins as Tom Joad returns from prison to his family's farm. His family is forced to leave the farm as a result of the economic turmoil. Tom breaks his parole (http://www.co-ar15.com/wiki/Parole) and chooses to help his family. All through the novel Tom defends a humanistic (http://www.co-ar15.com/wiki/Humanistic) point of view, breaking civil law or choosing to stand against broader economic mechanisms to follow more humane and universal principles of morality and justice. Tom Joad is a symbol of resistance of the economically weak people against the impersonal system which crushes them.
Tom Joad farewell speech to his mother:
"...I'll be all around in the dark. I'll be ever'-where - wherever you can look. Wherever there's a fight so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there. I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad - I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry an' they know supper's ready. An' when the people are eatin' the stuff they raise, and livin' in the houses they build - I'll be there, too."
Dolphins: [singing] So long, and thanks for all the fish / So sad that it should come to this / We tried to warn you all, but, oh, dear / You may not share out intellect / Which might explain your disrespect / For all the natural wonders that grow around you / So long, so long, and thanks for all the fish! The world's about to be destroyed / There's no point getting all annoyed / Lie back and let the planet dissolve around you / Despite those nets of tuna fleets / We thought that most of you were sweet / Especially tiny tots and your pregnant women / So long, so long, so long, so long, so long! So long, so long, so long, so long, so long! So long, so long, and thanks for all the fish!/ If I had just one last wish / I would like a tasty fish!/ If we could just change one thing / We would all have learnt to sing!/ Come one and all / Man and mammal / Side by side / In life's great gene pool!/ So long, so long, so long, so long, so long / So long, so long, so long, so long / So long, so long and thanks for all the fish!

earthquake, civil unrest. We're due for one here on the front range I figure... but it won't happen until the Light Rail is finished, then all the cool new light rail bridges will fall down. so around 2012 when its complete.? :)
then we'll have to spend billions and billions to fix everything we just paid billions for... :)

There seems to be a logical possibility that there will be an order to the events mentioned.
Great Depression followed by Riots and Civil unrest, then our enemies will find us at our weakest, prompting Nuclear Strike, then comes the disease and famine.
Would another country want to take over a country that is in a depression and full of riots and civil unrest? I suppose they would, just to get us out of the way.

I'm thinking Great Depression version 2.0.
That is what will precipitate WWIII.
Well, either world war or a zombie invasion. Not sure how it will go down.

I had this discussion with a couple of buddies the other day, we all kind of came to the agreement that anyone who wanted our resources, wouldn't nuke us, but in order to avoid battling the civilian population, it wouldn't be out of the question.

What's not to like? But, doesn't this guy have just one song that he just keeps re-titling and singing over and over?

No idea. Just tried to think of something that no one could possibly defend against or prepare for. Like marriage.
after watching 2012 last night I would have to say that solar flares heating the core of the earth and the continents moving aren't exactly out of the question.
everyone says they want California to fall off into the ocean...it may happen then.
obviously al gore believes global warming is real. I don't myself but if it is true and it happens rapidly, guess we are SOL.
natural disasters are more along the top of my list before a nuclear war.
next would be a political disaster that ends in riots etc. etc.
my hope is for zombies.
