The term “end of the world” always amuses me too
What it means is the end of humankind …
The planet is good for a fair few billion years yet !
Long enough even to evolve another far more intelligent and less destructive species in fact!
Like a dolphiroach or summat!
You could say the same now. Why are you here? In a world in which you are kept in debt or relatively poor (compared to the elite), in a world where you have to work continually to earn their fiscal currency in order to survive? What is the point of that? Yet people are still here! Go figure!
Nope I doubt that. People are in the main living in a dream world of diversions purposefully given them by the people who are engaged in preparations for massive unrest. Creation of FEMA camps everywhere, body tubs, incinerators, underground complexes, tunnel systems and so on.
There is nothing, at least for me, by way of “I told you so” attitude. I simply see the need to wake as many people as possible from the dream world and encourage them to be more prepared for any national or global disaster or disruption.
I don’t really understand why you say such things. In a disaster or period of sustained unrest people will need to group together and help each other out so having some skills will be extremely useful. Being useless, sitting their just taking instead of contributing would make me feel pretty low and inadequate.
Again just don’t understand the mentality here.
Survivalists simply understand that we need to learn to be able to do things for ourselves instead of being saps who are dependent on the State. Survivalists don’t believe the State will look after them so don’t want to be left out in the cold.
The naysayers and those who deride survivalists and preppers, will be the first to go reaching for others when TSHTF and when their food and water have run out in a few days. I really don’t understand why anyone would disparage those who are thinking ahead and making basic sensible precautions.
HI
Nope. not at all.
I was for many years a NCB specialist, so I know all the dangers.
I cannot understand the mentality of those who would unleash them on the world, so many innocents dead.
That is so, so, wrong.
I would not retaliate in kind, I can see no value at all in killing their kids because they have killed mine.
I would however like to live long enough to have a chance of killing those responsible for using those weapons.
A forlorn hope I know, but those who would need to know that they will personally pay the price.
My world ended when Pubs became Gastro Pubs, but I reinvented, now I love um.
Haha!
:-D. .there has been no mention of the Zombie apocalypse, which is quite big in the States, apparently the survivalists are prepping for it. Honest 
Ooh i think I’d quite like to be a zombie…
All that sleep and indestructability…it’s a win win situation surely!
I don’t think you would Rhian, look at the way they dress, it’s so 70’s and the makeup :shock: Goth or what?
Ahahahahahahahaha!
Outstanding, let me know where you are going to do all this, just do I can come along with my gun and take it off you 
Survival is about the fittest not necessarily the smartest. 
On the other hand you could set up a trendy Zombie Apocalypse, better dressed for a start, and they sit down at a table to eat their victims? Chav Zombies have terrible eating habits.
I’m not sure where zomiedom meets table etiquette…but if I’m in charge we’ll be wearing djs and lbd’s for sure!
I’ll be ok I’m a Walking Dead fan, all I need is a sword and a crossbow… Jobs a good un!
I think a lot of the young ones who play these survival/war games have an idea of what to expect, as these games take you into the unknown and have to be quick thinking of what action to take next…
I think i’ll just be a Zombie like summer 
You’ve got about a billion years before the habitable zone round our sun moves further out than our orbit as the sun gets hotter and the oceans evaporate.
Then in 5 billion years the sun will enter its red giant phase and will swallow our earth anyway.
So the end is nigh, just not very nigh. I am not going to worry about it. The dinosaurs were around for something like 160 million years so I am not that confident that humans will still be around in a billion years but they should see me out.
I think I would prefer the baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire as weapon of choice
I beg to differ.
A smart person with no arms can outwit a moron with a gun quite easily. You’d be dead within a day having stolen and eaten say a batch of cookies or cakes which unbeknownst to you were filled with rat poison, or having stolen and drunk what appeared to be untouched bottles of drinking water.
There are 100s of other ways in which you would be outwitted.
All those games are just a covert way to recruit young people into the armed forces and thus eventually into the enforcement wings of the coming one world government. They will be motivated by wanting to get out of a broken economy which gives them little hope for a decent job, and by the fantastic range of weaponry and vehicles that the military forces offer. It’s everything they’ve seen in games, but now for real ! All great fun . . . until the real bullets start to come their way.
I think I’ll join the ladies and take the Zombie option.
Zombies Don’t bake!
