Ding! Ding! Ding!
“What will you do when toilet paper becomes scarce?”
and the answer is..............what precisely?
#51 Why aren’t you laughing at us preppers?
bfl
“#2 Why has Germany announced that it will be moving gold from New York and Paris to its own vaults back home?
Ding! Ding! Ding! “
I wonder if Germany’s gold is still actually there, or if there is a piece of paper with “IOU” laying on the floor where the gold used to be.
#52 Why did U.S. government agencies rush to buy BILLIONS OF ROUNDS OF AMMO just prior to the election just prior to Sandy Hook just prior to HUGE PUBLIC DEMAND FOR AMMO just prior to 0bama’s anti-2nd Amendment kiddie parade just prior to the beginning of 0bama’s second term?

I have watched a number of the “Prepper” series on Natl. Geo.
While I commend their efforts, I find some a bit foolish when they prep for a very limited number of possible events, when the disaster may require rapid flight or a totally different form of prepping.
The best form of prepping is to be ready for rapid flight.
I have already fled the USSA, haha.
I'm shocked it took 7 posts.
One should learn how to discern whether a plant's leaves are poison oak (among other things).
” - - - Is it good for such incredible power to be concentrated in the hands of so few people? - - - “
Duh, only 3 people are needed to spend Amerika into bankruptcy: Hussein O., Sobber-of-the-House Boehner, and Do-Nothing Reid.
#53 Can you say six times fast: “Preposterous Prepper Perps”?
Instead of concentrating on a bunch of pointed statistical questions... I think it would be more effective to ask how long it takes for all of the grociery stores to run out of food after any kind of disaster. And how long does it take for all of the gas stations to run out of fuel? If the authorities are overwhelmed how long does it takes before thugs start victimizing everyone else?
If you haven’t got and fuel and food stored you will be hungry, cold and probably stranded. If you haven’t got firearms to protect yourself and your family you will either be relying on family and friends who do, or you will be at the mercy of thugs who are always ready to take advantage of the helpless.
When I was growing up all the boys took wood shop, metal shop, and auto shop. The girls took home economics and learned to cook and sew. We had a gun club and a shooting team. None of those courses are even offered where my brother’s kids are going to school. They are all learning to use computers and modern technology. I don’t know if there is a school in the country with a shooting team these days.
I grew up on acreage with farm animals and we had a big garden. Every summer I baled hay and worked in the fields. I learned how to use and fix a tractor. I didn’t appreciate this part of my “education” much then, but I wonder if this knowledge might still come in handy one day.
I don’t know the answers to many of the questions that started this thread, but I am sure that we are headed for trouble. Most teenagers now don’t know how to change a tire... when I was a young man I could rebuild an engine. A lot of our population is going to get a sink or swim kind of education when everything does go to hell... It is going to be very ugly.
The questions I have are: Do Americans still have the can-do kind of spirit that our forefathers had? Can we still figure out how to accomplish what we need to during a crisis? Or are we a nation of people who mostly have no clue how to survive in a bad situation? How many could live through a “Grapes of Wrath” type of situation? Not many I fear.
#52: Did you see what J-Lo was wearing on Idol last night?
Because THAT is more important to the sheep than the first 51 questions....
“Why are “black-clad federal SWAT teams” raiding farms and ranches all over the United States? “
This is the first reference I’ve seen to this. I know this isn’t your list, but have you seen it before? Know of a source?
Because liberals are Satan-worshipping communist fags, that’s why.
