Is this the standard of all the forums on this site? Even if you don't agree with the posters thoughts, does it really need such ridicule? I only have to think back to the flooding and the fact that water was off and people were trying to take advantage by damaging the bowsers (perhaps those people are on This forum). There are many GOOd reasons to have a 'well supplied stock room' and also have things incase of emergency. We get power cuts every so often here because the power is fed from over head cables that are old. We keep lanterns and stoves in as they can last for up to a day. My mum is disabled and lives alone. They have power cuts often and she is in an all electric house so she has a gas table top stove and keeps a good stock of food in. It is unlikely that we will have the total callapse of society, but I think that we will have pockets of civil unrest, and/or more failiure of the infrastructure. So I WILL prepare and no I don't have a nuclear bunker or any such thing. But I can also discuss things sensibly. Agree or disagree fine but don't mock!

You appear to be taking sensible precautions others are preparing for the end of the world, spot the difference

Where did I say I was preparing for the end of the world?

Thank you I would agree, But my point is that even if I don't agree with the poster,I don't ridicule them. Yes some posts have been done with smilies, but some arn't. It is also very easy for the 'tongue in cheek' posts to 'over take the serious post.

Very possibly.

FWIW thats how my life feels like the ridiculous and twists of fate have taken over the serious.

Maybe how I'm preparing for the economic collapse is by humour?

So confess! Which are you? Stalin or Goebbels? :rolleyes:

Noam Chomsky "If you believe in freedom of speech, you believe in freedom of speech for views you don't like. Goebbels was in favor of freedom of speech for views he liked. So was Stalin. If you're in favor of freedom of speech, that means you're in favor of freedom of speech precisely for views you despise."

I am looking forward to the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse riding out!

Once the looting starts, reckon I'll stock-up then. Especially crumpets to toast, as everything we held dear is consigned to the flames. Maybe liberate some baking potatoes to cook in the ashes of the Enlightenment.
