How we treated Gays and Lesbians as second class citizens is the only 100% certain one imo
How we allowed people to over populate the planet is also a possibility.
Hopefully religion will have gone the way of the Dodo but I doubt it.
Or that many places gave homosexuals equal rights, who knows which way things will go, maybe the population would be so low it'd be considered wrong to have sex yet not try to have kids? That's the fun thing about the future, it hasn't happened yet. Maybe there will be one religion, possibly Jedi, everyone loves starwars right?
Or maybe they will just find a cure biggrin

Before the Jews, Christians and Muslims told us homosexuality was evil, I don't think it was particularly frowned upon anyway in some ancient cultures.

If homosexuality is a genetic thing and parents in the future have the option to remove or change the gene from the newly fertilised egg, then they probably will.

Hmm. I watched it with my kids recently - after some debate over the 'right' oredr to watch it in we settled on 4,5,6,1,2,3.

Even as the remastered version with CGI I thought it showing its age. The kids 12 & 14 pretty much said "Is that it? What's all the fuss about".

Depends where you live really that.
Lots of america, hunting animals and then eating them is perfectly normal behaviour.

Hunting land animals is by far the kindest way to get our food. No captivity, and a quick end.

Trawling is far crueler. And the wastage due to EU 'rules' is insane. We need to make fishing more like hunting, not less!

Not barbaric but I think we'll look back in amazement that there were ever such things in Britain as Government paid for faith schools.

In our authority the council has cut right back on school buses yet should your kids attend the local Catholic school they will happily pay for a taxi to take them there from anywhere around.

That's pretty much what I meant. In places there will still be sea fishing, but it will be a local community thing, not a widespread industry.

Even the most rural redneck still understands that more people eat farmed meat than go hunting for it
