I'm glad to see we're all getting along again. You know, you were both right until it got personal. Human history is stained with the blood of inequality and petty strife. And once religions start mixing it up, break out the hip waders. This board is about the one thing in all time that will either bring us together or completely tear us apart. I imagine the end will be the same: fewer of us more separated than ever. If some of us see this through to the end, let's agree to banish all this religious nonsense and just live. Any belief that segregates man from man is crap. Only mother nature reigns supreme. The whole human story represents only an afternoon in her eyes, let's try to get us to tommorow!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Liamj', 'N')ame the numbers & impacts of muslim immigration all you like, and all the certain incidents of muslim terrorism in the west. But i dare you to at the same time name the # of dead and maimed compared to when western nations colonise/globalise/occupy muslim countries.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I') like this forum as it seems to have a large percentage of people who seem capable of independent and critical thought. Something that seems in short supply on other forums I participate in.

Panic is still never a good thing, but I do think this commercial is funny.

[ChefBoyardee]

Just to add a bit of comic relief...

Here in Ontario's north we are paying $1.14/litre for regular unleaded gasoline. Considering that there's 3.78 litres for every 1 U.S. gallon, and keeping in mind the parity between the U.S. and Canadian currencies we are paying...

...$4.31/U.S. gallon

Americans - you still have it pretty good. You guys should be laughing. We on the other hand don't find it very funny. Ouch!

There is a "large group" of people that will get very ugly and dangerous as TSHTF. These peeps are in total denial and will NOT accept the fact that business CAN'T go on as always.

Drip by drip PO is permeating into the public consciousness like a meme. Over the weekend I heard Bob Brinker (moneytalk on AM radio) talk wistfully about what we could have done to wean ourselves off of oil, but we blew it and now we are "riding down Hubbert's curve". That really shocked me to hear this terminology casually on the radio out of the mouths of people who have no ulterior motive in sounding the alarm.

Still it would take a brass band the size of Jupiter just to get this giant to roll over.

The two funniest things about this thread are:

1. It was started three years ago and the sky hasn't fallen yet, and

2. Aaron's only response to the end of the world theme was "please use the URL button to shorten web addresses."

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Fiddlerdave', 'Y')OUR sky hasn't fallen yet, that is all you are saying, and it may stay relatively intact for you. But chances are good you will suffer some fallout, though, and then your whining will most certainly be monumental. Day to day risks rise substantially living in countries where large groups of the population have nothing to live for and nothing to lose, and the threats of jail or death have little impact on their choices. Count on substantial increases in the time and money and loss of freedom incurred in increased security requirements, at the least.

In the IRC channel, there were like 3 or 4 other people other than myself who had or regularly experience panic attacks. I was wondering if maybe there's some correlation between people susceptible to being a doomer and having panic attacks.

Or not.

[RonMN]

I've never had a panic attack & I'm a doomer.

A friend of mine has had several & you couldn't convince him of peak oil (or anything bad of any sort could ever happen) if it bit him in the ass.

[Stratovarius]

Apparently the causes are both psychological and chemical. But I wonder if the prevalence of either varies from person to person.
