Eh, joke all you want, but I'd rather get my pay and leave when my contract is up than be some idiot running in the desert getting shot at. :shrug:

I'm the opposite, I want to be in the desert getting shot at.

The music won't play once the power goes out, but at least you can avoid thinking about doing any work until you starve to death or die of dehydration. :tongue:

handcranker, that way you can be lazy and still get a workout

Legitimate question for the OP.

What will you be doing on December 21st?

And is it me, or do alot of preppers (the insane ones) actually want the world to end?

http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/photo/2535726_700b_v1.jpg is my view point on doomsday predictions.

Actually, I'm gonna go ahead and delete this. Not gonna meddle with politics.

I was actually talking about my grandmother with this last night, and we came to a consensus.

Preparing for minor disasters is all fine and dandy, but preparing for "the end" isn't worth it. AFTER "the end", life will be hell. It will be a difficult, depressing struggle every day until the day you die.

So why waste what you have now? Why, instead of enjoying what you have now (you won;t be able to later), prepare to not enjoy the later?

Honestly, I'd rather lie down and die in "the end" than suffer through it, call me a weak person, if you must, but it's not worth it to me at that point. :confused:

What does struggling to fight the end accomplish, anyways? If it happens, it happens. Shouldn't inevitabilities of this sort just be accepted? Fighting it accomplishes nothing but suffering.

I hope to be working and saving up for a mobile home that my grandmothers neighbor is selling, I'll toss a Airstream on the back and head off to Arizona.

Not really, no.

@colonel..

If we say, hypothetically that nothing will happen the 21st December, 2012, would you still do it?

Are you under the assumption that I believe something will happen? I just plan to move to Arizona to live there, if there something wrong with that? Am I not able to decide for myself were I live?

No offense intended by any means, but yeah, your answer to BoSStealthAgent came off as is what you intended was some sort of contingency plan or something, is something... cataclysmic were to occur on December 21st, 2012.

I don't believe something will happen on that exact date no.

Alright then.

Y2K all over again. Hahahaha.

one of my relatives made about 300% (or something like that, it was alot ok!) profit from buying stuff from people who were freaking out and getting rid of their technology during Y2K and then selling it back to them when they all realized they had made asses of themselves

After watching the new episode it seems to me... that I want a damn crovel. Toss it on the back of my pack and I think I'll have something good for a bunch of different things. Also 25% have made no preparations for any disasters.

I haven't. Relatively few natural disasters occur down here in NC. Though recently we did just get our first tornado (which came really close to us, destroyed a neighborhood about 10 miles away, but no one died) and our first biggish tremor, which originated in Virginia. It was only like a 5.

Depending on where you live, preparations are not necessary. There are only two possible disaster scenario's where I live. Either another North Sea flood, but than it'd have to be several times more severe than the one in '53, because we have become the World's Supreme Masters of Dike Building since then. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OosterscheldekeringThe second possible disaster scenario is a meltdown at the nuclear power plant here, but I consider that even less likely to happen, with no fault lines anywhere even close. I'm pretty much in the safest place in the world. :happy:

A book bag with some food, water and a change of clothes is good enough for me. Anything else is too much and will probably need an army to defend it.

I have a pack full of supplies, it doesn't need a army to defend it.
