    2 People I know perpairing for the end of the WORLD! Why?

    Last week I talked to 2 people I know about preparation for an emergancy. They both told me they have been preparing for the end of the world coming in December 2012, how much they've spent and the amount of time and effort was almost unbelievable. Now don't get me wrong I do believe in being prepared for the things I could due something about, but what part of END OF THE WORLD don't somepeople understand? Does this view make me less of a survivalist?

    A friend is making a custom knife for me.

    I told him he must complete it before the end of the world (since I already paid for it).

    He would normally finish a knife much more quickly but this one is special.

    That is the extent of my 2012 end of the world preparation.

      It could be they see your atrocious spelling as the 3rd sign of the apocalypse.

      However, what they are probably shortening is "The End Of The World As We Know It" (TEOTWAKI) which doesn't mean they believe it is the END, but the end of certain things (gov't, creature comforts, civilization, pick your SHTF scenario).

        I do agree with TEOTWAKI, but one was talking of the planets aligning and the earth being pulled into a closer orbit to the sun. Now I live I Palm Springs area, this is a place you can tell the start of summer when you see the devil at the airport with his bags heading out of town.

            People should plan harder for it not being the end of the world and actually living life instead of worrying themselves and preparing beyond any rational likely concern.

              Where do they get such rubbish and why do they buy into it so easily?

              I'll never quite get it other then maybe some emotional need to need something to prepare for all the time? to feel less of a sheep perhaps? sense of satisfaction that they know the "truth"?

                  The only thing 2012 does to me is remind me to vote correctly.

                    Some people just need something to occupy there time with. Its like an old man being overly-concerned with his lawn.

                      This is very serious and everyone should be planning for the end of the world!!!

                      To help, I am selling a book on how to prepare for the end of the world. It is a "Must Have" as anyone preparing knows that this has never happened before and so they won't have a clue how to prepare. My book is the ONLY book that is written by someone who knows EXACTLY what to do to prepare.

                      And if you order today, I will pay the sales tax and shipping.

                      That is not all!!! For the first 50 callers, I will include a FREE copy of "What to do After the End of the World." This free book is yours to keep even if the world does not end.

                      Call Toll free now!! 1-800-Kiss-ur-butt-goodbye
                      That Toll free number again is: 1-800-Kiss-ur-butt-goodbye

                      Operators are standing by!

                        My brother is always saying stuff like this. Very annoying, and it scares my GF, not because she believes what he is saying but because she thinks he is NUTS. lol. He is not a gun, survival, or even camping enthusiast.

                        I hope he stays NUTS....

                            No problem! If that happens again, just ask "Peggy" to transfer you to a supervisor!
