North America After the Collapse
Again, I wasn't complaining about the cross posting. Just commenting (again
because I'm bored and looking to ramble) to the comment about the curiousity of survivalist not wanting to respond to the actual topic - I said that is because it is being posted in rooms that are not survivalist....

Many of us in rec.gardens and probably every room EXCEPT for survivalism are not all that in to planning for the end of civilization. We are having way too much fun in our gardens and doing what we do. Now if you want a hot debate that will cross all rooms and have everyone ticked off even at themselves bring up.... NO... I learned my lesson... I'm NOT going to go there.... Sighhhh, it passed. All is good. DKat Sorry, I just made another post on this thread and didn't remove any of the other groups. Actually, as far as a can tell, Alan is the only one of the regular posters *convinced* that the end of civilization is coming soon. Everyone else, I believe, just uses TEOTWAWKI scenarios for mental excercises. Sue - not deleting your group because this is addressed to you "Alan Connor" wrote in message hlink.net...

Footballs & baseballs have already been covered by this thread & even by professional throwers found quite wanting. And, should you be able to throw a hand grenade 100 yards or better, it would explode before landing, pretty well obviating the reason for throwing one in the first place. It's simply not a feasible feat. Any rock you might throw (by hand, but I most seriously doubt it) 100 yards would not be an effective weapon. Someone around here needs to look up "figure of speech". *I* certainly didn't even imply that anyone would try to throw a rock for an 1/8 of a mile as a weapon. No, but now you've implied that there are 800 yards to a mile. Seems like folks here, on a group *allegedly* focussed on survivalism, prefer to avoid talking about the probable collapse of their civilization. Pretty funny. But understandable. They think that they only way people can have a decent life is to live as they do now, or how their ancestors lived. Which is bizarre, considering that by any rational standards, the quality- of-life in America just plain stinks. And their fool ancestors wiped out people who had a significantly superior culture. What they need to face is the fact that ALL totalitarian regimes control the people by controlling the history books. The Soviets also called their country "The Greatest Country on Earth" and had libraries full of books that "proved" this "fact". America isnt even anywhere near the top, even by its own standards. 37th in health care, 14th in longevity. See trendsresearch.com And even the lifestyle of the Europeans is based upon exploiting the lands and lives of people in the "3rd World", and those folks are purely fed up it. Industrial-Capitalism is simple too destructive of the land and non-member populations to continue for long. AC |
