Welcome.

Talking with the non-PO donkey shit eaters is mostly a waste of time.

Hey thump, we aren't all doomers, but Bambi doesn't show up much.

Welcome.

You should have taken the blue pill, it's easier.

Been here four years now, it's my home of sorts, but the whole PO thing unfolding in front of my eyes is depressing, overwhelming, and frightening at times.

Keep yourself busy doing other things too, aside from coming here.

The last bit is my best advice.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'S')o what you are saying Thumper is that people are starting to understand and accept PO. That should be considered somewhat disturbing as the flock may bolt or the herd stampede when their sorry predicament becomes apparent. $120 barrel/$4.00 gasoline is only a prelude to terminal stagflation--endless prices increases as the economy and employment stagnate and decrease. The bad news is you'll have less money and the worse news is they'll be less to buy

[Thumper]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('BigTex', 'I')'m waiting for a master skeptic.

Isn't FreddyH sort of a voodoo chart reader? His methodology is an averaging approach, right? It might even be that an approach like that will be wrong in every case, since there is no reason to believe that the mean or median of all projections has any special significance.

Welcome, I've been a guest here for almost two years and joined recently myself. I am skeptical of everything as well, but I find myself in the doomer camp also. Glad to have you and no matter which way you go its always good to have open minds here trying to help put the puzzle together.

It was really painful for me when I found out I was living a lie. Peak oil was a rough discovery for me as was gaining total awareness of how the financial system works and how it's corrupted and influenced practically everything in the past 100 years. Along with some life troubles I eventually had a major nervous breakdown from which I'm still recovering.

Anyway, one big thing you'll learn as most all of us do you have to be careful who you talk to about this stuff. We're all reliant on people in life and discussing this stuff will drive most away. Some people wont accept they've been living a lie and aren't compelled to get to the truth. If somebody doesn't want to hear it and they're not the objective truth seeking type it's best not to discuss the topic at all.

As a side note you'll also find some odd types here that have accepted PO but don't see the other huge lies we've all been sold. Then again, they can bring some good perspectives to the table.

Anyhow, I've come to the conclusion we're all here to learn major lessons and be seriously tested, for the most part we're here to learn how not to become a victim.

[Thumper]

Thanks mmasters. It's really strange so far because I feel like many of you are a mirror image of myself.

[Moped]

I'm new around here too, its scary how resigned some of the posters here are to PO occuring, I'm not completely convinced yet and I won't be until I see OPEC production decline, that IMO will be confirmation of PO, until then I'm a skeptic.

[Aaron]

Welcome Thumper,

Glad you're here.

Sorry about why.

[Thumper]

Thanks Aaron for providing the site and the time and effort of keeping it running.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Thumper', ' ')Are there good peer reviewed papers and well documented statistics? or are we all just pissing in the wind with no clear "data"?

Point me to the right forum if you would.

[BigTex]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Thumper', 'T')his is exactly why I decided I had to join. I feel like I am holding so much on my shoulders and needed some relief. I can tell you that I honestly wish I had come here first before discussing the issue with friends and family. Not that I have come off as crazy, but because I feel like I should have kept it to myself, and let them live on happily.

What's the ethical solution? To inform or to let them sleep happily in the dark?
