Debate House Prices
In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non MoneySaving matters are no longer permitted. This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

Does anyone else feel that if society breaks down to the point where we don't have any type of infrastructure and everyone goes feral it would just be easier to give up? I'm normally not a defeatist in life, but if every single thing went down to the point where life just became a disease-ridden free for all I'd probably just reluctantly kill myself. That would be preferable to shooting my fellow humans and eating their stale weetabix in a former underground car park.
I'd love it, it would be like playing fallout 3 all day every day. I'd just build myself a rock-it launcher and a railway rifle (there's a robert dyas just down the road where I can get all the parts) and go on the rampage.0 -

Too right.
They can take my Bollinger when they pry it out of my cold, dead, fingers.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
