You say it is my fault I do not have land and own it outright before shit hits the fan, and I say you're an idiot.

After you've taken this land by force, exactly why would Bob, two parcel's and a half mile away, not simply choose to snipe you from his porch some evening. He knew Joe, and probably had handshake agreements with him over peaches or grazing or swapping catfish for corn. You take Joe's farm, all your new neighbors are 1) gonna be real upset. 2) greed factor, you've got no rightful claim to that farm, so they got no reason not to just snipe you some evening and give Joe's farm to their son.

You've chosen a very unlikely course towards long term survival.

Nice Mad Max thread, but I've got some delusion to bust...


I'm from Holland. here the problem is recognized. 80 trajects/paths to divert our way of life away from oil have been identified.

Sorry pal, last time I looked Holland had plenty of roads, airports and oil dependant infrastructure. You're "80 paths" are only leading you to denile.

All you need is one good idea and the passion not to stop unless you have made it happen. There was a student in the UK who sold 1,000,000 pixels on his website for 1$ each. Great idea, very original. Ask your brain. One great idea is not much to ask for.

Still living the dream I see. If making "a million bucks" was easy everyone would be millionaires. If you think it is that easy why haven't you had a great idea?

[PolestaR]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Lighthouse', 'A')ll you came up with is the idea of becoming a plundering, murdering arson, a thief, a parasite living of the work of other people. You must be very proud of yourself.

I think any community that has intelligence will merely treat you as you are. There is no point doing things to people which they think is wrong 24 hours a day. Like for instance I could just kill you and your 3 sons, move into your house and the community might be fine with it as long as I don't "wrong" them.

A hard crash would be much better for the environment and most creatures, and would quickly reduce the human population to a more ecologically sound and sustainable number. Of course, it would also necessarily be an absolutely staggering global disaster for those living at the time, and all those born within the initial readjustment period.

Although a soft landing would be more comfortable and provide an interim period, particularly for first worlders to acclimate to the much harsher world that is probably down the road, we would doubtless seriously compound the destruction of our environment by desperate uses of coal, further degradation of arable land and over-fishing/pollution of waters, etc. Similarly to how we have cheated future generations by overusing and abusing resources, a soft landing with the ensuing scrabble of last minute consumption would further cheat future generations while mainly benefitting ourselves.

(Of course, one respected expert believes that because of global warming most humans will be dead by 2100 anyway, so it may all be a moot point)

If we did have a choice, I would opt for the hard crash because it is much better for the environment both short and long term, and seriously trims the population to a more sustainable number - a culling which would happen sooner or later anyway, via pandemics and other natural causes. I'm not blind to the hardship and suffering that a hard crash would create, but believe that it would be by far the most beneficial for nature and humanity in the long run.

for the record it was me who condoned eating dead people. if mine are hungry id do it. however that would be a complete failure on my part and a damning condemnation of my intellect that I or mine should be in such a situation. ill stand by that one. I dont claim to be violent. I actually favor a situation where I can use my skills:

1)backwoods medicine
2)very skilled herbalist (wild plant ID for medicinal and edible)
3)wilderness survival instructer
4)organic bio-intensive gardening
5)crack shot at the range (feel the shot on those 250 yd .22lr shots)
6)mad ninja skills and lots of war gear
7)sorcery and shamanism

This would be much better if I was not killing and eating people who may or may not shoot back. or storming properties. however I am incredibly violence capable. if it hits hard the wife and i (we are 25) will hit the brush and live away from everyone using my woods ninja skills. thats when it could get violent. the best outcome is to find someone with land and a good head on their shoulders and pony up with them for an exchange of services. I am actively developing such relationships in my community right now. not waiting to be a warlord as others here are.

Grow up, kid. You've been playing too many video games. If TS really does HTF, somebody who behaves like you claim you're going to will be eliminated in extremely short order. Any group that qualifies as a "community" will have zero tolerance for that sort of thing.

I have read that 2% of the population are psychopaths.

Reading some of the recent posts here I now believe that.

I can only assume that at least one person here is :
- a male teenager
and/or
- a true psychopath
and/or
- an attention seeker

I am SOOO glad that I am no longer an adolescent ...

As the originator of this thread, I am also sad that it has been hijacked by one or more weak minded imbeciles who have too much time on their hands.

The Intermet is a very powerful tool - but it is also a magnet for verbiage spouting morons hiding behind anonymity.
