do i sound like i am worried? its hard to scare educated thinking people with fairy tales of hell and damnation by a nasty boogy man under the bed. you should be prepared though just in case. if you have any pets send me $1000 per pet and promise i will take care of them after you are raptured http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/10_08/b4167070046047.htm?campaign_id=rss_topStories Caring for Pets Left Behind by the Rapture For a fee, this service will place your dog or cat in the home of a caring atheist on Judgment Day Many people in the U.S.âperhaps 20 million to 40 millionâbelieve there will be a Second Coming in their lifetimes, followed by the Rapture . In this event, they say, the righteous will be spirited away to a better place while the godless remain on Earth. But what will become of all the pets?
the reason I came to hate religion and religious people is because they make a mockery of God, the average person is too pathetic to be even given the idea that there might be a God, let alone to be asked to believe in God What? is God something to argue over? Why should someone who believes in God and has any understanding of him whatsoever ask a bunch of pathetic animals to believe in him too? let alone to argue with them over God's existence? wtf?! I not only say 'my ass, jessie and joe don't believe in God', I also support their disbelief too, I encourage them to give up on any notion of God
even better, replace the words 'stray cats' with 'osama and his gang' edit: I'm adding this note because I thought some of you might read osama as obama, no it's osama, I would never think of such things let alone say such things about the president of this country
if the economy and society collapses, all the crazies will come out and if u are male, watch out, it will be like prison, picking up that bar of soap while bathing, your ass will literally be in serious danger of a good poking
You ask them to believe in them so that they can be saved from eternal damnation. No matter what anyone has done in this life, I do not want them to be damned for eternity without any hope. If you were driving a car at 80 mph and the bridge was out, wouldnt you want people who knew the bridge was out to hold up some signs saying "bridge out"?
Trying to fit a book into a single post makes for some ambiguities and generalizations. That said, I'll try to answer your questions. In Argentina, the currency was devalued, and for some period of time, of questionable value. PMs were trading for food, but nobody had much, so small gold rings, and links from gold chains were the common currency. In Iceland, all three banks closed, and nobody had any currency or credit. I suspect some shops did accept gold, some others accepted Kronur, some others still may have accepted dollars or Euros. After Katrina, I didn't see much in the way of any trade going on, there simply wasn't enough of the necessities to go around. Similar conditions applied during the King riots in LA. It's a complex subject, but some "general rules" seem to be: 1. Venturing forth to any location where trade might take place can expose one to unacceptible risk. Stockpiles of basic necessities allow you to ride out the storm in and around your home, and familiar neighborhood. 2. Disasters seem to be dynamic and evolutionary in nature, changing over time. What worked yesterday may not work tomorrow. What works tomorrow may not work next week. 3. Transactions require both a willing buyer and willing seller. The accepted medium of exchange must be common to both. I can see situations where the seller who has what you need refuses what you opffer to trade, and converse situations where the seller who accepts your trading stock does not have what you need for survival. 4. Information can be supplanted by rumors when times are tight, and confidence is generally on the low ebb. If many are hungry, I can see a higher percentage hoarding food, instead of trading surplus food or water, for uncertain "wealth", redeemable at unknown points in the future, for example. 5. Don't forget opportunity during any meltdown. Desperate, uncertain, ill informed people will trade capital assets for pennies on the dollar when their survival is threatened. If the liberals' objective is wealth redistribution, then your objective is to retain asset value overall. If your PMs and currency are tied up in food, water, and survival transactions, you won't have the liquid assets necessary to take advantage of trading opportunities that may arise. In my opinion, it all goes back to diversification. The better you cover your basic needs before any crisis, the better you'll be able to deploy stockpiled assets in the day to day dynamic aftermath of any dislocation.
