I know....why not have a world wide JONESTOWN.......everyone can commit suicide, and then the wildlife, and mammals, and deep sea dwellers can slowly recoup their lives back. Mankind, you're a disgusting, murdering, greedy, filthy, lieing bunch of cockroaches.

[TheGreasepit]

History clearly shows all Empires will fall. Sorry U.S.A., you've been that Empire, now it's clear, you will fall, and the next Empire will prevail.

[CJurasin]

@TheGreasepit And exactly WHO is that "next empire" anyway??

They can tell that crap to our Navy, Marines and Air Force sometime!! Like it or not........we're STILL NUMBER 1.

[btigtime2]

We were also a tougher people who knew how to hunt and fish and garden and cook. We knew what to do with produce and raw products, now we are feed like pigs and have no idea how to do anything for ourselves

[SCL0PS]

Yeah FIAT is a cocksuck, for sure.

[AddinLbs]

Two words...BARTER SYSTEM..."you can fish but need shoes...well I make excellent quality shoes and boots and would love to fry me up some salmon dinner tonight so what do ya say buddy? Two fish...two shoes?" clean the slate of overpriced luxuries and see how more important and valuable honest services and hardwork become again...

[Heathencrusher7]

Lets not hope for the best, hope for its downfall..and fuck the World Bankers

[ilyuxo]

@Heathencrusher7 I don't believe in best anymore.

I hope more people wake up and prepare.

[1x93cm]

@ilyuxo the less people wake up the more will likely die from unpreparedness leaving fewer problems for the survivors- as if will be tough to "educate" people when you're in post collapse and there will not be enough resources for everybody to survive

@Heathencrusher7

Are you nuts? Let's hope for the worst? What a cynical, nutcase you are. What do you think will happen? You think things are bad now?

[clarkewi]

Too many Americans are fat, lazy, ugly, perverted, ignorant scumbags now. At one time people didn't take drugs. There was no such thing as "gay rights". Feminists were in the kitchen minding a brood of 5 kids. People went to church. People obeyed the 10 Commandments. People read the Bible. There was no TV or trashy tabloids. People knew how to build things, grow things. People respected their elders, teachers, police and government. There was less violence. Neighborhoods were cleaner. Etc. Etc.

[havoctrend]

@clarkewi Read "Jeramiah" God takes away all of the blessings in detail.

[CJurasin]

@clarkewi Ya, but there are WAY more of us than there are you to compare with.....and alot of us are still lean, mean and HUNGRY!!

[clarkewi]

@CJurasin Are you trying to justify those scumbags? You don't even know where I am idiot. I'll tell you this, I am thousands of miles away from America on an island with lots of clean water, food, good land, space and not too many people. You're stuck in the middle of a concrete jungle like LA, Detroit or some other hell hole. Look around you at all the big fat slobs slothing about picking their noses and their assholes - these are who you'll be eating, not me. So enjoy your pork and beans.

[CJurasin]

@clarkewi No.....but if you REREAD your original post you are labeling ALL Americans the same. That's as idiotic as the "concrete jungle" you said I live in!! I DON'T live in the city.....I'm out in the country in OREGON where the water is clean and the land is GREEN I have my own well, green house and we are groing our own garden.

Now..........WANNA TRY AGAIN "KNOW IT ALL"!!!

[Karmiangod]

It will be worse because we were on the gold standard in the 1930s and now we're in 2010, we're printing money and yes, garbage jobs; military.

[ghostofchat77]

Let's hope for the  best and expect the worst.

[Raycheetah]

Another important difference is that people in the 1930s not only still retained many skills necessary to independent living and survival, but the means by which they lived were much less centralized. If food distribution was for some reason interrupted, most would still have the means to produce food, unlike today. And most people in those days were raised to a higher moral and ethical standard. Nowadays, people are more selfish, and more capable of violence against others. ='[.]'=

[ilyuxo]

@Raycheetah Oh yes, that's a good one. Now people think they are entitled to everything, and don't see it any other way.

[awftukl]

@ilyuxo THEY ARE IN FOR A RUDE AWAKENING AND ME AND MY AK WILL GIVE IT TO THEM

[djkissbird]

@Raycheetah You are right...but however I live on a farm and have a pond to fish in,animals to butcher,A huge garden, and a couple of fruit trees...

[Raycheetah]

@djkissbird  Never go hungry or thirsty. Ah... Luxury! =^[.]^=

[rjthomas23]

Nice comparison
