If it does happen, HOW exactly will it happen?

[Deleted54170User]

I'm waiting for everyone to take a deep sigh on 12:01 on the 22nd and have the world end just when they've lost interest....

 

"Sorry I'm late.... now DIE!!!!"

 

You First!

Well; I´m some times sloppy with my calendre, I´ll probably forget the day :happy:

:whistling: If a disaster actually happens on or near that day as bad as the movie 2012 makes it out, I probably wont be around to remember that day after it's over.:wacko:

 

So! :cool: I think I will have a nap and think about something else for a change. :wub:

it's obvious how we all die out.. it's staring at you and you don't even realize it... mesmerized by the question of what could happen..everyone flocks to forums and glue their eyes to the computer screen in hope for an answer!.. in hope for a present escape of an unescapable fate! and while waiting..everyone fails to realize the world has stopped without anyone to preserve it..with everyone on the internet waiting for the ultimate bypass of destruction..they indeed ironically..cause their own extinction..Blame karma..blame the clouds...blame Al Gore....but in the end..when everyone has starved themselves in front of their computer..waiting for their internet to come back on...the only person to blame will be yourself.

Another person heating up the Earth's Atmosphere, raising the temperature just a little more before we get reacquainted with the ice cooler sensation so the weather seems comfortably warm. Gradually raising the temperature until it reaches a boil is the best way to cook a lobster, use white wine instead of water, and they will pass away peacefully and quietly.

 

So! I am wondering? Who has convinced us Earthling's to give our own home planet the climate rise, over and over? IT's "Z" isn't it?! We already have been taken in by Rod Serlings, "To Serve Man", and "V" to harvest us all, and that only could leave us with, "Z". We are so, snoring away our lives, get it! Zzzzzz. I will wake up when the ground trembles and the airplanes flying overhead stop and run to the balloon and go, "Up, UP, and aWAY in my beautiful, my beautiful...BALLOOOOOOOOOON!"

Ha! We have to look at the past before we can predict the future, even in this situation. Remember Y2K? Remember the bug that would destroy all computers, and launch all nukes? Had quite a few people just sitting at their comps, kissing the forums goodbye, and doing things that would ban you in those forums. Since computers were going to fail anyways, no need to follow the rules! I remember a friend of mine made a joke 20mins before 2000... He told me he needed to get to his computer, and print out all of his porn before it was too late!

 

We know what happened there, nothing happened at all! That, or I'm in hell and don't know it...

 

Cheers to you Roe, and I hope your military training serves you well when the end comes! :laugh:

All of you Ivory Tower types can look down on ex-military and savage peckerwoods like me but IF things get bad WE will be the ones packing the gear and getting it done for ourselves and the people we love. And when you city-slicker-dudes come drag-assing up and want a handout you'll be bleeding out on the ground before the sound of our rifle reports reach you. That is, if you can make it out of the cities alive.

 

Before I get bashed for posting this, do any of you know how to hunt, boil water without a metal cooking pot, grow crops, sew, work leather, blacksmith or do anything else that doesn't require a power grid? Well I can do all of that. Do you know what native plants in your area are edible and which ones are toxic? Are you physically fit enough to walk behind a team of mules with a plow for 10 hours? Can you eat beans and rice every day with no seasonings, reguardless the taste? Do any of you have medication and survival food stockpiled to get you through at least two weeks? Do you know unarmed combat? Do any of you have a viable evacuation route that doesn't depend on highways? Do you even know the names of your neighbors?

 

Giggle and point all you want. And when you drop dead it will be a guy like me looting your corpse. And if I'm hungry enough I'll eat your ass.

 

I can out shoot and out ride most men I know. I have the fastest horse, the prettiest girl and the ugliest dog this side of Hell and I am in it to win it. Who amongst you can say the same?

 

EDIT: And I'm teaching myself to knap flint. How many of you know what that is without Googling it?

ROTFL....just add fletching and you'll be set. Plan on heading deep north myself with a 30-40 Kraig and a crossbow, have a cabin in the Laurentians. See you at the survivors reunion.

I live too far south to have a 'safe' place to retreat to. My neighbors and I have already discussed what we will do if a 1930's style depression hits and we're fairly ready. We'll just have to make a stand and go down swinging. We are Texans, after all. We've been bartering for years anyway, trading labor for home-canned preserves and so on so that won't be a big leap for us. My family has enough land to grow flint or dent corn for maybe six teams of mules. Fire wood will be a problem so we'll probably have to refine hog manure for the methane. I'm an old oil field hand so that's not a stretch for me. We have the river so we can irrigate or run a water wheel to grind corn or have power until the tech crap wears out. I've tinkered with Tesla Coils and they can be made from scrap, empty beer bottles and the solar panel off of a traffic sign from the interstate. My sister taught herself to make tallow candles from the feral hogs we shoot (feral hog = 400lb rat). I already know how to make caustic lye from wood ash so I guess soap will be her next project.

All of this might sound really dumb to kids today but it's how their great-grandparents lived and their decendants are around today to laugh about it so the stuff must have worked. A crisis to American kids today is their dealer not returning a phone call or the internet being down. And it will be old farts like us that keep things together IF we get the 'big one'.
