No. I'm not insecure or set off. I'm making fun.
This is a thread; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2250063/posts about two waitresses getting into a fight. Many FReepers are making fun of them and the situation but I don't think you would accuse the FReepers of “being insecure” or “being set off”.
This is a thread; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2248370/posts about plastic surgery gone wrong. Many FReepers are making fun of them and the situation but I don't think you would accuse the FReepers of “being insecure” or “being set off”.
The difference is that you are mocking something as fundamental as being prepared for emergencies, that is pretty unusual, you were also insulting us, not the guy in the article or “two waitresses in a fight” and your tone made you sound threatened.
I don’t know what kind of a man you are, maybe you are comfortable around guy topics, guns, knives,compasses, and being prepared, you should tell us more about what troubles you about having an emergency evacuation bag ready so that we know what you are troubled by or what makes you want to insult the people on this thread.
I was looking for something I saw a while back about reasons to prepare for emergencies, natural, manmade, etc. The guy that wrote the article gave dozens of reasons. Of course I can’t find it now.
I live out in the sticks and it’s just a way life. I didn’t have a computer at Y2K but if it did happen I was ready. I don’t think being prepared makes me a conspiracy nut or a lunatic. However, it does seem to me that the way things are going, the shtf is much more likely now than Y2K.
I found this that explains what I’m trying to say:
Survivalism does not necessarily concentrate on global catastrophe or the collapse of civilization. The profile of a “true” survivalist is someone who is concerned with planning for and avoiding the pitfalls and dangers of daily life and short-term emergencies and disasters of a local and temporary nature. In fact, since the frequency and likelihood of personal and local emergencies are more common, these situations are of primary concern.
