To put it blunt?

No anyone who does is an idiot.

No. Because I already live in a relative state of survival. If society kicked the bucket and fell apart, things up here would be that much worse. No gas, extreme distance between people that only vehicles would cover well, no electricity means no heat, 2-4 months of crop weather which may be bad, yielding shit crops for the year, and 8 months of winter, on average, -25 degrees, with the windchill, enough to freeze exposed skin in under five minutes, and no animal population.

The death counter up here would climb high, and as much as I hate to admit it, I wouldn't be prepared for it, not in the current state I live in.

I'd like to see society change and evolve, not crumble. Maybe get a little rough around the edges to wake people up first, but not total collapse.

Considering how much of the Soviet nuclear arsenal is on the black market, I don't know how something hasn't happened in the U.S. yet. I almost wish it would.

If it happens then oh well. I have guns and ammo so I can defend myself and have the ability to get food when I need it

No because I'm not an idiot.

Wishing for that is like wishing for the deaths of thousands of people.

>like

No, that's exactly what it is.

OT: No, because I don't get a kick out of death and destruction. On top of that we may be on the verge of a real space age.

I just had to fight my way through upper middle class people at Costco. We need a new fracking plague, stat.

Zombies are my favorite scenario, followed by robots.

What about Zombie Robot Space Pirate Samurai?

Nah.

Nope, I'm not anti-social like some of you lol

...what?

I bet a million bucks that the people who want an apocalypse would die right away too.

For some odd reason I doubt that they have the skills necessary to survive.

Good thing I was a Boyscout for 7 years.

Oh my god nevermind! We got a boy scout in the house!

Gee Wiz nevermind you'll definitely survive.

Of course not.
And besides, I'm liking college atm so...

No. I have tons of family and that would be bad. The moment that happens I would have to chose who can survive and what people could be let go. Then worry about my nephews and niece. My friends, you dumb bastards, what Im going to do to survive, and who I would have to shoot in the ass to survive.

Actually, the more I think about it, the more I think the majority of us would be dead if things shut down. Lemme put things in perspective. Most people nowadays are dependant on the internet. They don't know what to do without it. With no power, this is cut off.

Any of you people that live in a city would be fracked immidiately because of your location. Cities function, and appear well on the surface so long as they function. But without people, New York's subway system would be flooded in only three days. Fires would break out from failing equipment, and nothing would be done to stop them, resulting in huge uncontrolled blazes. Most cities carry a stock of reserve food to last only three, to four days at maximum. They don't just pull shit out of thin air. They rely on supply and demand to keep the illusion of safety and comfort.

And the people. People would turn on each other so quick, that it would be a blood bath. Things would fall apart fast, and in all likelyhood, whoever was left standing would travel. To another city, another state, somewhere to find more food and keep going.

And up here, I'd be no better either. Our town would be out of food in a day. With no electricity, we'd have only a few hours of daylight to go buy, and no internet, leaving us disconnected. No heat for the winter. Nothing. So that would mean, right there, I'd have to turn to wood heat, whatever flashlights and candles we had, and find wood for fire.

Trees and forests are far apart up here because people turned this province into farmland. Any forests left would be set upon by people in a snap. You know how many cords of wood it takes to heat the average house during a winter here? 12 cords.

1 cord of wood, consisting of split logs, is roughly five feet high and six feet across. That's a lot of fracking wood. And I'd have to cut that with an axe since a chainsaw would go dead in only a day of use. And cutting wood up here with an axe in the summer? That's a no no. Wood is too wet up here to split with an axe in the summer. But you can't leave it uncut for the winter. Never leave it uncut for the winter.
Gas would be gone in a couple of days at most, meaning going on foot would be suicide. Any firewood would have to come from the area close by. Any food would have to come from hunted things in the area.

And this isn't even counting the fact that people would turn on each other. You'd have to fight to keep anything. In fact, if things fell apart, I'd probably be fracked faster than you guys due to the tightrope that supports everything up here.

Sometimes I wish a disease would start out in a third world country and kill people slowly. Then I fantasize about it spreading to the rest of the world.
