Dec 12/Mayan Lunacy

Don't be so sure. It will be constructed for multiple purposes and the primary one being a tornado shelter and storage area for food etc, stuff you need to survive. Secondarily, a hidden, rural refuge when the filth from the cities and suburbs start pillaging the countryside for food during some kind of collapse, name your disaster. 3rd, a fallout shelter. Even if I'm not on a target map the winds put me in very bad fallout area. And last, to rebut your supposition, by the time the starving masses reach me they'll have thinned out dramatically and the country boys with the assault rifles, 4 wheel drives and shotguns (me) will have had plenty of time to prepare.

By the time they get out to us, they're cannibals (would have to be) and may as well have "Shoot me" signs on.

Cannibals vs. Nibiru? I have to go with Nibiru.

Wikipedia:
The idea of the Nibiru encounter originated with Nancy Lieder, a Wisconsin woman who claims that as a girl she was contacted by gray extraterrestrials called Zetas, who implanted a communications device in her brain. In 1995, she founded the website ZetaTalk to disseminate her ideas.

I bet what Zetas implanted is invisible to our technology. Wanna bet?

She founded the website to make money off of the hysterical masses, or she is right and I am going to die. I'm betting on the former.

Her (latest) book costs $17.95 and she "offers" a CD for $4.50 and a booklet for $7.50 to help us imbeciles prepare.

Her theory is tame compared to some. Some of the theories are so laughable one thinks they MUST be jokes. But they are not. And they come with a price tag, too.

Everybody dies. I will or will not 21 Dec 2012 if I make it that long.

Haha, good to know there'll be mental-cases with guns in the boonies who will shoot you on sight because they assume you're a cannibal!

Economics 101:-Demand drives supply.

When one learns that and accepts it one has learned more than I did in 4 economic classes in college (I want a refund).

So it no longers stuns me that people demand information that costs them on a theory that even true scholars claim they do not understand.

It would stun me if they didn't.

It seems the wilder the theory, the sexier it is; the cooler it it; thus the more marketable it is.

Tragically, I am as dumb as dirt and thus cannot “cash in” on this issue.

Life goes on... Until Dec, at least...

My point was that all the preparation in the world didn't help him in the end.

That's because he was fucked in the head.

I promise, that once I start this grand project that I'll give you people a tour.

I've been buying containers for storing water and I have enough dehydrated/freeze dried foods for 6 months. I also have a small seed bank. I don't think the end of the Mayan calender will amount to anything though.

The Mayan Calendar is just a metaphor for the sense of dread that we all feel. The world is falling apart so it makes sense to some people but for some really retarded reasons.

I agree one hundred percent.

Have you been in a disaster zone? Food gone. Big Screen tvs gone (in the ghetto). Power gone (heat and swamp ass making people frustrated and mean). People are going to just shoot you because you're moving. He's in zero-sum mode (a scavenger lifestyle, if you will). If he don't take you out, you're getting the last TwinkieTM in town. And he likes TwinkiesTM.

How many (if any) of you have made preparations for the so-call predictions in the Mayan Mesoamerican Long Count calendar? I think the date for X (name your theory) to happen is 21 December 2012.

We have not and think it is lunacy. I think it is a great way to sell books, and it has sold a slew of them. It's also made a lot of people money in other ways.

Yes. I could be wrong since I often am. I was wondering if anyone had made preparations and what they had done.

Anyone have any ideas or want to answer? Input? Thoughts? Ideas? Please chip in if you do.

I'll check on this thread in a few days. I predict no one has made preparations of any substance.

The only preparations I am making are for self-fulfilling prophecies of nut jobs hellbent on war and rapture added to the possibility of economic doom and the chaos and martial law that will follow in it's wake. None of which is end of the world style shit, but when the trucks stop running, the stores get raided and the fat masses get hungry then they'll become even worse than zombies as gangs of them pillage the countryside looking for plunder. I'd really hate to be in a suburb of Detroit or Chicago when that day comes but I'll be sitting in my spider hole laughing my ass off.

And last but most certainly not least, the end all be all: The beginnings of a bomb shelter.

I've been in a disaster zone - after Hurricane Andrew hit Miami.
Granted, I imagine end of the world disaster will be harsher, but even in those moments there are people who retain enough of their wits not to shoot someone just because they are moving. Of course some people won't... You might want to reflect on whether, far from the urban centers, there really is actually any excuse for shooting someone before you know the first thing about them (apart from being a mental-case, that is).

Worst disaster I ever saw was Hurricane David and then Joplin last year.

That is the best you have? We may disagree on issues yet I have always (until that pathetic list) considered you a smart man. Now, I must reevaluate...

That is a pathetic way to stop the Earth from suddenly changing it's rotation.

What about stopping the Nibiru cataclysm ("Planet X" is on its way!)

Nor will it help you when the poles shift (geomagnetic reversal).

Worse, you've made no provisions for the solar flares that will burn you to a crisp.

The "Great Rift" (to absurd to explain)? The Supermassive Black Hole that is coming?

The red supergiant star Betelgeuse will undergo a supernova at some point in the future to the 2012 phenomenon. You've made no provision for that, huh?

Well, you've not really made preparations at all.

Nor have I. Doomed you are and so am I.

MY BET, OPEN TO ANYONE: I would bet $10,000 to anyone that they are wrong and I am right (I say nothing will end on 21 December that will ruin humanity, the prophets of doom say otherwise, so they should take my bet and my money).

I repeat: Anyone willing to bet me $10,000 that nothing happens needs to PM me or have a True Believer friend get in touch with me. Any with a True Believer friend that wants to make an easy $10,000? Get them in touch with me and we'll find a trustee that will hold the money, safely, until after nothing happens. I'm serious.

I've issued that challenge to a True Believer I met. He said, "It's not that simple."

Sure seemed simple to me.

My preparations? None. Nada. Zilch. Nought. Diddly. Naught.

My planned preparations? Ditto the above.

You can reevaluate my ass if it makes you feel better Texas. I do what I can. In any catastrophe the hordes will come looking to pillage but if they come to rural Arkansas then only thing they'll eat is bullets. I'm in the early stages of a below ground shelter. WHAT THE FUCK MORE CAN I DO? It has nothing to do with the god damned Mayan calendar. You're picking fights with people because you think being prepared is stupid which is odd to say the least.
