Rooting for The Apocalypse

Not the one foretold in scripture, which, as a preterist, I will tell you is history, but the financial & geopolitical superstorm that is about to take us somewhere between Mad Max and prehistoric times, brought on by the part of society that believes they are entitled to Other People's Money. It's likely completely unavoidable now. The numbers are in and we just have to wait for it to all play out.

Though I don't have beans & rice and toilet paper saved, I'm kind of rooting for it to hit, and hit hard. I came to this conclusion last night while watching a TV show called You're Cut Off, a bad-girl reality show that tracks 9 pampered princesses accustomed to living off of daddy's or their husband's credit cards, spending lavishly and looking down on all the little people. Their benefactors have canceled their credit cards, hired them all a life coach to adjust their attitudes and teach them the evils of unnecessary excess. It shows signs of being a bit scripted, yet it was still reasonably entertaining watching these princesses fight both their situation and each other. Watching it, I was revolted by these pampered wenches. They considered any manual work beneath them and demeaned anyone below "their station" and tormented anyone for any slight, real or imagined.

For example, one particular wench who is fighting everyone always wears tiaras. She gave one to another chick because they seemed to hit it off. Later, she walked in the room as a bunch of the other girls were bad mouthing her, and she was upset that her new friend didn't speak up and defend her. So she says something like, "I don't think you deserve to wear my tiara today" and demanded it back.

It made me less apprehensive and made me see a silver lining in the coming crash, when green paper with pictures of dead presidents on it will be of no more worth than toilet paper or fire starter, and they look at their Louis Vitton bags wondering how they could ever have considered them worth anything, when they realize they're no better than anyone else, and that everybody is so concerned with surviving they can't even interest anyone else in supporting them in exchange for access to their vaginas. Pity there won't be TV cameras around at the time to catch it.

C'mon, reset button!

Amonger, when and if society crashes in this country, these are the people who will go first. Mainly because people who are serious to live and survive will get rid of them to make it easier for the rest of us.

Oh come on, it's the Monroe area.

I think that someone at another site summed up what would happen, he lives in the LA area. He said he would most likely run across a few movie stars in his ventures out of his bunker, greet them with the admiration that they expect and then shoot them after the euphoria wears off.

NOTHING is as bad as Detroit is. I heard that no human beings remain living in Detroit, is that true? :confused: Monroe is bad, that's why I don't live there. There are 8 houses where I live, 7 too many.

Well from Jackson to Monroe, that's the strip I'm talking about.

Detroit? who cares?

when things happen, they will declare war on Warren and Troy and try to take over Bloomfield.

I could start from scratch with my set of Foxfire books, and be ok - but I'd have to get a gun, cause I don't own one now.

I can tell you one thing about Detroit... it has fallen apart in less than 3 years. Wife and I have looked at houses, and used google street view to check out the neighborhoods. When we got there, the place was deteriorated much more than street view showed.

We've looked in Palmer Park/Sherwood Forest area. Must've been amazing 20 yrs ago.

Boston-Edison was relatively kept up just 3 years ago. I could imagine what it was like way back when. Now it's just a wasteland of boarded up houses that have had their plumbing stripped. Garbage all over the place. People with no hope, walking around like zombies.

These people CHOOSE to be in the position they are in. They keep voting the same type of garbage in, year in and year out. They vote for who promises to GIVE them more and more of other people's money. They are "gemmie goobers".

Detroit is the prime example of why what Obama and Co. want for the country will never work. Socialism breeds lazy It thrives on despair and encourages it. Socialism is a fiscally and morally bankrupt system. It is evil in action.

Not disagreeing with you. Yes, they made their beds to a point. Detroit just has nothing to offer, and hasn't for a long time. No wonder they're being left in the dust. I can't help but feel sorry for them, and others who have lost hope. The depression begets depression, and vice versa.
