Michigan schools cancel classes due to potential threats and end of world rumors

all it takes is a handful of ass holes across the nation who believe its all gonna end... and a person who thinks its all gonna end... would believe they have nothing to lose...

they could do anything... and in their mind not have to fear repercussions on the 22nd...

When in reality on the 22nd its all gonna be here and the evil shit they did will be very real.

Then again it could be the calmest most peaceful day ever...

but i'm staying home... not cos I fear the mayan doom... but psychotic fanatic doom


Stay Frosty everyone!

Yep, we are all shut down around here.
This is uncommon. We are accustomed to heavy snow.
Usually the decision is not made til early morning and usually ice-related, not snow.

We have 3 inches on the ground since 9PM,
and they have already canceled tomorrow's classes
and some schools already canceled Friday's classes.

Either we've turned into a bunch of pussies or
we are in for a real good snowstorm.

Des Moines Public schools closing too...

It's a crazy world we're living in--too many lunatics. One thing that drives me nuts lately, is driving. The people around here show no more common courtesy on the road--they're vicious!

The way I see it, I get the feeling the govenment knows something is going to happen and everything they have been doing was to prepare us for the event without causing a panic. The key is to not cause a panic.

I've lived through a lot of these 'end dates' / 'rapture dates', etc. I'm sure you have too, so I'll wager we have a "high doom tolerance" - lol.

I remember having to drive in to work on 12/31/99 to make sure I could fix any overlooked Y2K date bugs. We all were secretly drinking bourbon and basically had an unofficial office party. Even some of the upper management showed up and got down with us. Ah, those were the days...

Anyway, the Mayans? Cool dudes for sure. And very smart. But I think the 21st is hype.

You have a point though. It's the lunatics out there that scare me. Same reason I don't ride a motorcycle. I trust myself, but not the other drivers ;-)

Yea, try driving an 18 wheeler for a living locally ! I have to drive Denver to Ft. Collins everyday. Stupid rude dis courteous twits all over ! Its a wonder i have any hair left at all.

You loons crack me up! No, seriously, I love you guys. Hell, I post here too so what can I say?



I'll chat with you guys on the 22nd. And I promise, I WILL NOT say "I told you so."

I remember my father who doesnt believe in any sorta... well anything... he's extremely old old old fashioned...

Well he decided he was gonna prep for Y2K

shocked me! But his way of prepping was smoking/curing out 2 hogs
World didn't end... but damn we ate the best bacon I ever
had lol

for sure good times!!




The mayans they were some pretty smart dudes! I salute em :)

who said the world was ending on the 21st?

:gjg:

For Y2K, my husband collected gas cans. I still have about 15 5-gallon cans in the back shed.

Ashes, ashes, we all fall down....

"This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper."

Have people, parents, American society, all gone insane. Schools in Michigan shutting-down because of CT shooting and Mayan doom? Father's standing guard outside of schools? We truly have become a nation of pampered, cowed, television-possessed twits.

My daughter will be taking the subway to her high school Thursday and Friday. My other daughter will be walking to her Middle School on Thursday. My 10 year old son will be riding the school bus to his elementary school Thursday and Friday. And we live in the freakin' Bronx (which, despite all the stupid sensationalized tripe that's put-put about it, is a fine place to live).

Good God! When I think of how far removed we've become from the people who went through the Depression in this country (and survived begging for daily shape work, the dust bowl, bread lines), or rationing and war during World II only 70-80 years ago it's astounding. How did the people of this country become such self-obessed, small-minded, whiny, little piss-ant cowards.

Such a shame. Talk about painting a bullseye on our quivering, self-centered, concave chests. Truly tragic.

LMAO!!!

Yeah, I had about 25 gallons of Kerosene ready. I was a prepper back then (not so much now - no money). Anyway, the wife was pretty pissed when she came across them in the garage a couple of years ago (she normally avoids the garage as it's my power-tool empire). I had to take them for disposal, and was surprised I didn't get too many weird looks. I guess they see odd things coming in.

My biggest pet peeve is people who do not use their turn signals!

or the ones that do use it but 10 feet from where they are gonna turn

I call bullshit.

The Conspiracy Theorist in me says the teachers and staff simply wanted a longer Christmas break. I mean, really, who honestly believes this 21st horseshit?
