Oh I know people are buying shit like crazy that's the funny part. I mean self-preservation? 85% (My estimate) of the US couldn't live on its own.
YAY im a retard!! well thats real P/C . why is it ok for youguys to complain about the decisions you made. i complain about higher taxes because it takes more money out of my business leaving less money for payroll. Yes that means smaller payckecks for the good hard working persons employed by me. I need a secratery. but cant aford one now, so one less job out there. when my taxes go up it may be 2 less jobs. If you bought a house you couldnt afford well thats just too damn bad, but you bought it not me. im paying for mine. and yes i am also stocking up on ammo! LOTS OF ITbecause we nare sick of supporting all the wellfare illigal immigrants, and all the people who think they are entitled to all the govt handouts they can get. We have done this for years now they want more! I DONT THINK SO!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you planning to go out and massacre visible minorities or something? I think this is a warning sign... Anyways, why didn't you respond to my original question?
My futue was forged by me! No minoritys are going to die. if you read one of my last posts you would see i am hispanic. YOU READ TOO MUCH INTO IT. but i have to go to work now so feel free to tear into me more ill be back tomorrow to respond to you
I hear ya man. I understood everything you said and I agree. You'll only get an argument here about the evils of capitalism. Someone is bound to come on here and tell you how you'd be better off letting the federal bureaucracy take your business. After all, your neighbor bought too much house and illigals need free health care too. People know that you can't get a job from a guy living off a welfare check. The more people on welfare the less jobs there are to get. The revolution is coming.
Let me repost the question, since you clearly do not know how to navigate the forum. I said: "Your opportunity was forged by those before you - no? We all rely on a number of funadmental variables which we have no control over to either succeed or fail. Determination and discipline is only one part of the equation. " I am looking for you to adress how you are SOLELY responsible for your success, your opportunity, and the variables of your upbringing and how you directly control socio-economic conditions.
Boy i just dont know how to ansure that. did you read my post outlining how i got here? No im not a genius, as you can tell i cant type or spell for shit. I worked for it, nothing was ever given to me. I turned a $6.50 hr job into a successfull company with 2 full time emploees and one part time. more to come soon i hope. Did the guy who gave me the job forge my opportunity? Well I guess I owe him. But hes old and retired now. hes well off he dosent need anything from me. who do you feel forged my opportunity before me?
Wait, are you making fun of people for being prepared for the 85% that can't live on their own? When people get desperate they resort to crime, or turn into flesh eating zombies. I think everyone should have at least 2 weeks food & water supply. If you wait until TSHTF you will have a tough time battling for scant resources in high demand. Walmarts will turn into battlezones.
Your completely missing his points. nobody is questioning your work ethic, but you didn't get where you are all because you wanted to.
haha your just being a dick for the sake of being a dick. I might be in that 85% I don't know I haven't had the pleasure of trying to survive without any help. When I said any help I meant gun manufacturers, food producers, other supplies we wouldn't have hundreds of years after all hell broke loose (Assuming we didn't fix it). I'm talking about 15% of the population would be able to survive purley on natural things not man made.
Ok so what got me here? and why is he riping me for it? no i dont get his point, I feel like he wants me to say "I couldnt have done it without the help of ?????" Well i didnt have help. Yes the oppurtunity it there for everyone but those of us who go get it are suddenly the bad guys. I enjoy the lifestyle i have built for my family and im proud of it. every one here can go get it but if you choose not to why is that my fault. I guess i am a dumdass because i dint get it, but im gona keep doing what im doing.
Best believe I am one of the 15% getting prepared... I've order mad seeds (not weed seeds you potheads ) for growing a nice victory garden and I am taking a break from college for the summer. I already know how to Gut, Skin, and Tan deer hides but I am using this summer 2 learn more necessities from the older generation if it's not to late. I'm already talked to my Gramps and he is gonna pass the art of smoking meat, Canning Vegetables, and If I have enough time I'll go to work in his Woodshop. People will probably call me a redneck for this, but it never hurts to be prepared. I only wish I didn't buy that flatscreen but an AR-15 instead.
I understand both of you. Hes trying to say that without other factors you wouldn't be where you are. It is important to be self-motivated and get yourself out there which is what your saying you did, but you have to realize that's not the only factor which is his point. You're both correct. There are factors that change the ability to get out there and try your best, but its important to always do your best. However for example; some people have a traumatic experience and it disables them mentally without showing it physically. The human brain is incredible.
I might not be as prepared but I'm fairly capable of providing for myself without help. I think your best idea I saw in that post was seeds. Growing your own crop would be an incredably good way to survive without any help from others. ANY meaning none at all no guns no pre-cut wood, nothing, which is what it would eventually come down to.
Maybe, I just find it odd you would have a laughing orgasm over someone preparing for doomsday scenario, especially when we are closer than ever to that possibility. As soon as the commercial real estate bubble collapses, which it hasn't yet, we are going to be in for some dark times. Gun owners will have a leg up against burglary, and If you live near a densely populated urban area I would be cautious. We will never live to see a day where firearms are obsolete. You clearly haven't seen enough apocalypse movies.
