2012 - Are you Prepared?

[Mark]

There was a lot of discussion among my friends over the weekend about 2012 and the end of the world and what might happen and what individually we are planning or not planning on doing.

The Myans, Hopi, Nostradams, the Bible, the Koran and a few others have all predicted that the world will end. But none were clear on how. After reading and watching a few shows it doesn't seem like there is going to be a mass planetary explosion that is going to have us blown up and out into space. Instead it seems like more of a natural phenomenom like solar flare destroying our modern electrical gadgets like our computers in our cars, planes, trains, gps, cell phones, laptops, etc... Not to mention our electrical grid. Or a huge earth like Japan had except worse, or hurricane, etc... All of this on a world wide scale.

With that said, it seems clear to me that all of mankind is not going to be extinct overnight. Many of us will survive. But what will that survival entail? Maybe nothing with what we are used to today.

So how prepared are you to survive for your life and your family's? Do you have enough food? water? batteries? Do you have survival skills? Can you hunt and fish? Do you know how to filter water?

What, if anything are you doing to prepare? And do you think the world is going to end? And if so, how?

[Robb]

Will there be internet? If so, I will survive! (At least for 3 days without water or 7 without food).

I'm not planning on making any preparations other than emergency supplies I already have on hand for other natural emergencies.

[longnecker]

We have emergency supplies packed in more for weather extremes more than the end of the world.
There was a big thing about what would happen to all of our computerized systems at the turn of the century. Many groups have predicted the end of the world on dates which have come and gone. I do hope for a world were my son can happily raise a family.
At my age I am ready to see what (if anything) is on the other side.

I have a pool filled with some special Kool-Aide if anyone feels thirsty.

[max1]

I'm good either way.

I have supplies, and if the worst happens then it was a good ride.

@Green Lantern, "The Myans, Hopi, Nostradams, the Bible, the Koran and a few others have all predicted that the world will end." Imagine that the Hopi or Nostradamus might have known about the pent-up rage and resentment of the Tea Party way back then if President Obama and VP Biden win re-election in 2012! lol We already have seen Tea Party rage unleashed after Affordable Healthcare was passed.

[Panama Girl]

Pffff. Of course the world isn't going to end, I still have outstanding credit card debt.

[Josef]

So does that mean the Rapture will be this year then? Or is this one of those things where everyone is gonna die regardless of how good they are?

Whatever happens, happens. Not too worried about it.

[Roogle]

The only thing that is going to happen is that earth moves to the house of aquarius on dec 21st.

Oh and Venus blocks the sun for a while on June 6th.

[daveindelaware]

After watching the movie 2012 recently, I know I either have to steal a plane or hitch a ride on one of the arks.

Last time I checked, I think the Bible stated that NO PERSON will know the date of the Rapture/End of the world.

Personally, I believe nothing will happen. But if it does, there's not a thing anyone can do about it.

[motherof3]

I think it's just all BS. How many times in one century do we have to go through this kind of crap? Wasn't everything supposed to crash in 2000? Y2K anyone? And how many times has the rapture been eminent in the last few years? Besides if the world is going to end there is absolutely nothing any of us can do about it. And if it does happen and anyone is still alive I'm just going to convince Max to adopt me!!! j/k Or we can always go to my parents, they have generators and a well.

[Bellicose]

Can I just ask something? For those people that are stocking up on things and what not. IF the world does not end, then you stored all of that for nothing. IF the world does end, and a majority of the world dies, and only a few hundred thousand are left for the rest of the Earth's tiny existence. What is that water going to do for you, because eventually the Earth will be gone completely. You may as well die with the rest of us, rather then stick around until the last day. Because it ain't gonna matter, you dead yo!

Not me, fuck that. I aint going out without a fight, and water, ammo, food all will mean a certain amount of power for those who hold it. I dont think the world is going to end in 2012, and if it does it will be from some catastrophic event not global warming. I think what is more probable is a terrorist attack of the biological nature, if I can get my family far enough away from that I want them to have food and water and I want to be able to protect that.

Problem is Max if it is biological, the food and water you have, is only going to last so long. Then what? You just hope that you can find more?

I'm not ashamed to say it, but I will do whatever I have to to make sure we survive, and if that means taking it from someone else.....I will.

Nothing to be ashamed about, when ti comes to providing for your family, anything goes. I for one will be enjoying every last minute I have left on this planet we call home, until the very last second. Hibbity Dibbity Style!

[Curly]

If I stocked up on all the essentials, I wouldn't tell any of you fuckers. If I did, I'd be forced to shoot you when you come for my shit. IMO, it's not what happens that's the worst part, it's the aftermath and the evil that people are capable of.... trying to survive.
