Re: No one I know IRL is talking about this stuff.
Everywhere I go people are talking about how crazy things are. I live in the South, in a very rural area.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37833666


I agree I live in a rural area and strangely everytime we go down to the city people seem like oblivious Zombies. People in the country are typically more private, less concerned with celeb gossip, not much for material items and are far more in tune with Nature..God shows his face in Nature and so it seems as if people in the country are also more spiritual. I could never live in a city people are only in it for themselves and they have no sense of community..their hearts are colder..Anyone living in the city who knows what's going on should get out while they can..or at least save, purchase land outside the city and have an escape plan.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11251816


Yes, this is it. I avoid the cities so I honestly don't know what some of you are talking about. Down here, most people have this nervous feeling like the other shoe is going to drop. We know what is going on. You guys should leave your sheep-infested areas, I feel bad for you.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37833666


Believe me I know I live in Northern California..a place most call the State Of Jefferson because we want no part in the ways of the Bay area and So. Cal. We are about a hundred miles up in the mountains to the nearest city and anyone who knows anything about California knows the crap we have to put up with..most of the people who settled here came by wagon from the South during the gold rush and ofcourse a swarm during the dust bowl..we keep to our roots (;

The idea that Government could willfully execute or be complicit in the execution of its own citizens is incomprehensible to most in the USA.

Re: No one I know IRL is talking about this stuff.
Remember the scene in the movie, Brazil, where the terrorist is caught in the restaurant and everyone continues on eating without so much as looking at the police arrest?

We make a point of not discussing such business in town, but compartmentalize. If you can't focus and refocus your attention meaningfully, you need meds, cause life will shake you up.

If you can't do it, better start meditating and doing metal exercises with discipline, cause the world is pretty crazy and about to get much more demanding. Compartmentalizing is likely to be the make-or-break skill for mental calm, stability, and above all, no need for anti-depressants and their ilk to sleep at night.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37833666


If I bring the subject up I get the response. of how crazy it is but this is getting to be a very big deal and it almost seems a mass psychosis of not being able to see it.

Explosions. Poisons being sent by mail. Lock downs, evacuations. I mean shit, in just a couple days.

Everyone is acting like its been a status quo past few days.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31914951


I think a lot of people feel overwhelmed and their only response is to further bury their heads in the sand.

Basically, "If I do not look at it, maybe it will not be real". On the other hand, if they do look & do actually think, it becomes real & they are not equipped on hardly any level to deal with the consequences of what may be happening.

Re: No one I know IRL is talking about this stuff.
I don't know...just because people aren't talking about it doesn't mean they aren't thinking about it. We've seen so many tragedies in the past 10-12 years that people keep their feelings to themselves I think. I know the last time I worked in an office setting the whole workplace was talking about the NewTown thing right after it happened.

I think it depends on where you live and what type of workplace it is.

Re: No one I know IRL is talking about this stuff.
I can honestly say that in the past 6 months or so, I have noticed people are beginning to wake up. This even includes people who I thought were dumber than dirt and would never have a clue. Also, several like-minded people have come into my life randomly recently, which has been refreshing. We have yet to openly discuss these things, but you can tell by their reposting of articles on facebook that we think along the same lines. I plan to openly approach some of them in the near future.

Re: No one I know IRL is talking about this stuff.
The whole world is completely desensitized... we see it on TV, in the movies, on the news.... cannibals, rapists, murderers, thieves, terrorists...

We are not surprised to see anything anymore...

The only way it truly affects people now is if it happens directly to them...

I blame technology and mass media... not for the crimes, those have existed for hundreds of years... I blame them on the desensitization of people...

You see explosions and people getting killed everyday on TV Shows and in Movies...

Think back to the Challenger explosion.... 7 Astronauts were killed... the whole country was in shock, crying.... everyone talked about it.... everyone knew their were 7 Astronauts, there was a teacher on it, etc. Fast forward to Columbia in 2003... I bet you stop your average American on the street they wouldn't even know that it blew up... definitely no one knows how many Astronauts were killed...

The scary part for me is what will it be like 20 years from now... Seems like it can't get much lower than now; I know I am wrong though...

Re: No one I know IRL is talking about this stuff.
No one is talking about it in my world either. Only thing said about it was at church last night. The group leader said a prayer and mentioned what had happened and how we need to remember the people affected by this. Other than that its business as usual. Makes me wonder if 9/11 happen now days would it affect people the same way it did in 2001. Are we all so self absorbed and preoccupied that we wouldn't care that much? Granted this is not nearly the scale of 911 but still...

No one cares. As long as it doesn't interrupt their lives they do not care. Such is the way of this world.
 Quoting: Wade


I think that is a good thing; see, when their lives are finally interrupted, they are going to be pissed! Honestly, people just want to be left alone so they can do their own thing. When that changes, waves are made.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24028110


^^^That^^^^

Sometimes, I honestly envy their blissful ignorance(or denial).

I will not envy them when the tipping point is reached and they are frozen in place, unable to cope or act in any way to protect themselves or their families.

I will take the stress I feel ATM due to having woke up over finding myself helplessly herded to slaughter when the fragile reality is shattered.

Re: No one I know IRL is talking about this stuff.
I think that most of the uneasiness, that I see anyway, is the sense that people know the economy is living on borowwed (literally) time. Yes, the DJ is near record highs, NASDAQ is also coming right along but if anything seems untethered to reality it is THAT.

Just about everyone I know is struggling economically in some way and yet. . . .

It would not shock me at all if one day I woke up (PDT) and heard the market dropped 500 pts before the computers interrupted trading, markets close for 3 days and people sell after market - - I would be surprised if that didn't happen in the next year.
