$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Armageddon', 'I') guess since things haven’t happened, they can’t happen.
Please don't be as ignorant as Lucky.
Are you seriously implying that you have never heard of the Great Depression? If not, learn some history. There are very few new and unique things that happen in the human world, including for example, people lacking much formal education not being familiar with basic history.
Your predilection for doom yesterday, doom today, doom tomorrow, buy silver immediately screams out who you are to anyone familiar with your posting history. You are, like many within the peak oil world ( and undoubtedly other doomer forums), a believer. First you believe...then you find evidence for your belief and marry it. Lucky has the same predilection, as did, and still do, many peak oilers.Psychology-wise it isn't uncommon, look at the billions on this planet who are firm believers in their particular religion. You are a firm believer in yours is all. This mental trick isn't even abnormal, just based on religious belief alone there are far more of them than the rational, logical and scientifcally based type folks. And amusingly, folks can exist in born categories....Einstein springs to mind.
So there is hope for you yet. Not with being Einstein of course, but even you can learn some basic history as to how these horrific economic events have happened in the past (apparently you not even knowing about the Great Depression you need this part) and then thinking about similarities between then and now, weighing all the pertinent factors and putting your best argument on the table.
The quality of the conclusion stands or falls based on the argument when dealing with these relative concepts. Not here on the internet in la-la land, but in the real world.
This entire forum was designed around a belief, and as we can see, the acoyltes have left the building. Not uncommon among those who believe wrong.
