I think what he's saying is for you to not tell people to get "educated" when they don't believe in this conpsiracy theory garbage.

At least that isn't surprising of me :)
Well, my argument mostly is that there does not seem to be any more reason to think the world is going to end than there was in 1929. And I hope we can at least agree that what the the opening-post dude is saying is nothing completely certain.Quote:
Not every survivalist believes the moon will crash into the sea this summer. I am a "woods survivalist" myself, and don't believe in many of these theories.
I am not saying whether you are right or wrong, but that your argument is invalid.
By all means, being in the woods and such is awesome fun. But I doubt there will ever be a reason to start living there, even if the economy crashed completely. Actually, I don't think that even if we had an economical ressesion more extreme than 1929, which is pretty unlikely but not impossible at the moment, that mass-chaos would break out. I also doubt that 'by the middle of next year' there will be a civil war. (As Ranma claims there will be.) And since the American government can't even orchestrate a few simple tasks to help the Katrina victims, something that would have spared them alot of bad PR, I doubt the government has a plan ready to profit of the coming chaos, and start a forth reign or something.
So. Yeah sure something bad could happen. Probably nothing is going to happen soon however. Probably the current economical situation will not cause something extremely horrible however. Probably the way Ranma is describing is based on nothing and pretty far fetched and extremely unlikely to happen. Bull call me next year if I am wrong, if the phones still work during the 'civil war'. :)
Woo i had a test tommorow, so all the better! And coulden't this wait till FarCry 2 came out? I wanted to play it before the world ends =(. In all seriousness, i highley doubt this will happen, doomsday is preached every few years, so one day they WILL get it right, no time soon i imagine though. Go into the woods and be prepared, i am going to stay and risk my chances though. (I live in a more rural area of Florida, a nice area, but we aren't huge in population so if anything SHOULD happen i should be safe from the buses that the goverment sends)
HehQuote:

Indeed most of the claims made in such theories are as a rule very presumptuous and based upon emotions more than reason as is to be expected, but not all are so; that was really my only point, and I see we are in agreement there.
So ranma, what time is this supposed to happen, and if it dosent happen then what are the people who hid in the forest going to do with all those supplies?
Rumors and the NAU started over a year ago, so I'm sure any day now.
If anything goes wrong, it's a great opportunity for us to go live UNDER THE SEA!
Man, that is not what gonna happen(end of the world nonsense). Nothing that drastic is likely, but I could see a NAU happening. I mean the EU happened and a lot of people over there didn't want it.
dude seriously, you have me confused with someone
honestly, where I have made a single post where I think the government is planning to do horrendous things?
please stop responding back to what ever it is I say!! you are DELUSIONAL and are imagining IMAGINARY CONVERSATIONS
everything I have said has to do with the economy and the greed of corporations. the only thing the government has done, is NOT do something about it. which is no surprise the government has done nothing about because we have been under a republican administration and thats the republican thing, do nothing - no conspiracy - no plans of purposeful horrendous action - please stop responding back to my posts with lies
I don't think a complete collapse is going to happen (they will drain the Treasury before they resign to that fate), but it is interesting to go to the financial sections of foreign news websites and see the impact that this is having on markets and banks overseas.
They aren't reporting about this much if at all in the US media (probably so they do not create more panic among investors), but the losses and failures are not going to be confined to this week only. If other insurers start going under, though, and cannot be bailed out like AIG there is definitely going to be more panic in the markets everywhere.
As for the survivalist aspect of it all, pretty much the only thing I know how to do is start fires with a magnifying glass.
lol wut?
Sorry Neruo. But name calling does not Constitute an Argument.So if your going to argue with me, you better argue with facts and research to back up your opinions. eitherwise it is just will full ignorance. Those of Willfull ignorance would not have you believe that the earth is round. Yet we all know that it is. And yet there are still people who believe that the earth is flat. see: flat earth society.
As for laughing at me. Go Ahead. I've been picked on and laughed at my whole life. And you know what I keep coming back to piss people like you off. I will do it until I die.
I've been watching these events unfold for over a year, ever since the the housing bubble. When you control a nations money supply, And you lend it out on loan with interest to be paid this equals only one thing: more debt. What has been the governments solution to this economic crisis? To bail out corporations. and now they are giving billions of dollars to international Banks. This is called :Inflation. And what happens when the FED demands all those billions of dollars back? I don't need a degree in economics to understand this issue but i do know how to read.
Even over here in canada All i have to do is look at what is happening. Bill C-51. A big brother take on health products. The bill wants to make vitamins in the same category as illegal drugs. and then NAFTA and the SPP? they are all just isolated incidents right? The US government now listens in on your phone calls and reads your emails... just a coincidence right?
Ranma, read my post and please comply.
oh no now we must comply....oh this is going down hill pretty fast.
Do i have to comply with your order to move into a cuban ghetto (freedom towers?). You cannot force me. I have powerful weapons such as a harpoon gun (diver :-P), combat knife, 200 mw laser, and cuban coffee.
We will not go down without a fight!
"They say we must fight, to keep our freedom but god knows there's got to be a better way"
WAR
Good god yall
