Generation Doom User ID: 20816248 United States 11/12/2012 01:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Scored a 29, 2-4 weeks. The score didn't take into account a bug out bag though, which I could live out of on the move. I could probably stretch that to 2-3 months.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27596072 That is doing nothing more than gathering data. It isn't paranoia if they're really out to get you.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23558931 You are correct, doomsday paranoia has become a major trend in the US (how surprising in a country where the gov uses fear as a mean of mass control). Just pick one doomsday scenario and prepare accordingly :) What is yours? CME? 2012 rapture? Chinese take-over? Financial collapse? Supervolcano? Earthquake? Aliens? Asteroid? Bird flu? Everything at the same time? Don't worry people, there's enough doomsday scenario for everyone :) The irony of it all is those preppers will propably die of a salmonella infection, by chocking to death on a chicken sandwich or during a gun-handling accident... |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 27605310 Belgium 11/12/2012 02:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | All these preppers think they will have to survive by themselves locked in their houses because they are too paranoid to have any faith in society. The truth is, human have to live in society, and if anything happens, preppers locked in their bunker refusing to join a community will be seen as dangerous sociopaths. They won't last long if they don't join a community... Check out history and look what humans need to do to survive. Spending your life alone in a bunker eating canned food? Shooting at strangers begging for help? Promising :) |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 27605310 Belgium 11/12/2012 02:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Preppers are the selfish products of a selfish society. I have no problems with people trying to be self-sustainable. But preppers have this crazy twist that make them believe the whole world will come after them so they have to lock, hide, and defend themselves. It's called paranoia. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23558931 Fear and stress kill. My choice is already made :) I'll see what the future holds for us. All I need to survive is my brain and my social skills. I can find my food just by wandering in the forest gathering edible plants. With one book I can survive whatever happens. Fear is one of the most sterile and irrational mindset. It's only helpful to produce adrenalin to run faster. Modern people are so afraid to leave their cosy houses and electronics behind it's almost pathetic. |
