SLAM THAT CLAM |

So, maybe they're improving their overall chance of survival, while screwing up any chance of using whatever bunker they're showing off. Just playing devil's advocate. I personally think most preppers get it wrong. |

It makes the general population much more aware that this element of society lives among them. |

You are paranoid, but committed to survival. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24700919 Why then would you go on a nationally syndicated TV show and allow them to use your face, your family's faces, your real names, and even say what city you live in, exposing you to the unnecessary risk of being targeted by everyone in your immediate area when TSHFT? Answer : no real prepper would. So that means that these people that are being featured on that TV show are actors playing parts written for them by the networks. To what end? And they are all geared into a specific doom. No real prepper preps for a specific doom. Anything can happen and we know that. |

THey are in it because they feel special prepping, and the great news is that since the doom will never come they can feel morally superior and above everyone else by talking about it. |

RASJ01021970 User ID: 15080343 United States 11/26/2012 01:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just for thought, Is it possible that this show was created and put on air by those that we are all overly concerend about. Is it plausible that they have done this with the knowledge that most people want there 15 min of fame and would contact the show wanting to be a part, thus giving them a complete list of who, what, and where these people and places are. Now, if the SHTF, does happen they have a list of those that are a potential problematic source without having to hunt them down. Once again, just a thought. Last Edited by RASJ01021970 on 11/26/2012 01:28 AM As always, look beyond what the eye can see. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 21836117 Canada 11/26/2012 01:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I saw the crew interviewed on a talk show about what they though about the show themselves. They all started out thinking it was going to be a joke and later as they met with alot of people. Some whom changed their minds over the course of the interviews before the shows were even produced they became believers. At the end of the show they asked them what the one thing was that they believed would happen. The answer was a Solar Flare. Chew on that. What do you even know about anything. Did you even see that interview...? Obviously not. |

It tells you how to live, what to eat, what clothes to wear, what cars to drive, how to act in social situations...everything you need to know! Better go splurge on that Black Friday HD Widescreen!!!!!!!! The real doomsday preppers or survivalists would never take a risk exposing themselves on TV. |

"no real prepper would" WRONG. First of all, what makes you think these people are showing all of their hideouts? Second of all, these people are, like most people, looking for their 15 minutes of fame. If they can become "prepper Gods of TV" then that will weigh more to them than an apocalypse for which they've been preparing for decades. LOL. |
