I think I'm fucked, but not as bad as most. Several decent things in my corner, a few against. I'm kind of fucked.

Yer average southeast Asian ricegrowing peasant, he's really fucked.

Yer average kid in subsaharan Africa with two AIDS-infected parents and a hut in the middle of the desert is way more fucked than I am.

The Bush twins are considerably less fucked than me. Even Dick Cheney's gay daughter is less fucked than me, and she's got name recognition.

in general, i think americans and those in the middle east are those that will suffer most.

i think that european countries may fare a lot better as we are in the EU and we have agreements to assist each nation state in times of emergencies etc. also, we are a lot more socialist than the US is - people actually care about what happens to their neighbours here and dont simply abandon them if they've no money.

in general, i think i'll have no money for a good while, but i've never really had money anyway - having been a student for many years doing law, and only just started full time work 18 months ago on a fairly low-ish wage as a trainee lawyer.

Fucked is a state of mind.
You wanna get fucked ,fine,its your asshole.
ME,I choose not.
Short of getting hit with a lightning bolt theres nothing going to stop me and my family from continuing life.
Even if it means going in debt to my neighbor the goat herder for a few goats for milk.Digging wells,getting mules,whatever.
If it takes being like the asian rice farmer then so be it.
I have been through hell and high water more than once in my life and this is just another challenge.
Bring it on.I do SPARTAN for breakfast.
But if it hit tomorow, Id probably be kinda fucked for a week or two.

Hmm, a topic where we can actually use the f-word without offending each other!:-)

As for me, I haven't been fucked in over five years, which I suppose makes me a born-again virgin. But I'm not the kind of guy to go for casual sex, and I still might find Mr. Wonderful one of these days. Might even get married unless the Jim Crow Amendment gets passed.

Between now and then, there's always the left hand that knoweth not what the right hand doeth, and vice-versa:-).

I don't feel fucked at all. First of all, in a soft-landing scenario I'll do well, as people in my field will be in good demand. At worst, I'll have to give up specializing in general relativity and switch to nuclear physics. 8)

Even in an end-of-industrial-age scenario I'll manage, considering what I will inherit from my parents: a big farm with nice tracts of land and HUGE tracts of forest. Best of all, my family has had a habit of never throwing anything away for generations: there's all the equipment there to resume farming with the centuries-old methods (along with a bunch of now-empty buildings to house farmhands and such, of course), if it comes to that. (It won't, though, as we have so much land per capita in this country that biofuels will easily replace oil for the essential needs. And global warming is only going to help...)

I'm somewhat fucked(i don't like the fact that winters here are very brutal)...but there is plenty of wood around. Transportation in anything other then a car will really fuck other people.

Fairly fucked, I think. I live in Southampton, UK, a densely populated area in a densely populated country - I have a feeling that land for agriculture is going to be in short supply, no real "spare" land where you could set up a smallholding, especially as all the other urbanites will also be looking for land.

Not looking forward to year-on-year price hikes for food, massive unemployment etc, and more than a little terrified at the idea of the water supply flaking out - perhaps it's time to head for Wales (lots of rainfall) or Ireland (ditto, and space too).

Or perhaps it's time to buy a very large bag of assorted hard drugs and go out in style. Still, at least the prospect of getting emphysema isn't quite so scary now <koff koff wheeze>.

Here's hoping your prospects look better, wherever you are.

But, there has to be a country with ICBM's that can reach my front door firstly, and secondly they have to get past the hopefully-soon-to-be missle defense systems, and thirdly they have to be brave enough to face assured destruction at our retalitory strike.

:lol: Sorry linlithgowoil, but I must laugh at this statement. :lol:
I'll put this down to your youth and perhaps a bit of naiveté.

Socialism does not make people more humane. :razz:

Just remember that the Soviet Union was really Socialist, as opposed to full Communist, under Stalin. How many millions of deaths did he cause? :roll:
