As I heard Paul’s story, it became obvious to me that while we often have a laser focus on preparing to survive the impending collapse, his community had gone farther and made preparations for survival after the collapse. In other words: yes, he had to have practical necessities and skills to make it through whatever came his way – but what then? After the world as he knew it ended, was his community prepared to help create a new one?

“Bad times come, and bad times go. Some survive, and some do not. That’s the way it is.”

Amen

You have the last word, I insist. Go ahead.

“My only point was that we are of strong stuff, and our ancestors have succesfully faced awesome changes and hardships.”

Since breathing and deficating are automatic bodily functions, many are living today who should not have survived. They cannot accept any credit for surviving. I do not believe I am responsible for them.

Thanks so much. Chivalry is not yet dead.LOL

They cannot accept any credit for surviving. I do not believe I am responsible for them.

******************************************************
No one said you were responsible for them, and no one said that all surviving traits were desirable. C’est la vie, you never can tell.

Oh, lighten up. Think of it this way: you can use me as an example to your kids lol!

[Silentgypsy]

“Whineging”? Have mercy—apparently, English is a second language for him. (I assume it’s a him but, online, one never really knows.

[Silentgypsy]

How direct! It’s easier to just post ad hominems the way I do lol!

[Silentgypsy]

“Defecating.” Spell-check much?

[greeneyes]

Do a web search. It’s a real word.LOL

It's true! But for the dreadfulness of Woman, the world would be a perfect place. Certainly a lot of Muslims believe this, and by making women and girls fifth-rate humans in their societies, look what paradises they have created...

[Silentgypsy]

I bet those muslim women can't remember when they've had so much fun--the stonings, the amputations....

I have just resolved to shut up. I'm not cheering up anyone at all. :(

[Silentgypsy]

Oops--I omitted the honor killings. Whee! And they're such a bunch of complainers.

OK, I'll try harder to shut up.

[Silentgypsy]

I know it is. When posters work so hard at trying to impress rather than trying to communicate, it raises a flag. It’s easier to learn when they just toss out facts, but that’s just me.

[greeneyes]

I was thinking in might be in the Genes. A distant relation to Henry VIII perhaps? LOL

[SisterK]

LOL Women were stronger then because they washed clothes by beating them on rocks by the creek. Just doing laundry was very physical.

[Ditter]

Thanks for posting, I thought it was the name of an Indian tribe. :)

A thousand pardons Charile Brown.

[Rannug]

lol The little red line told me I had misspelled “deficating”, as it just did, and I said the heck with it. Nope, I never use spell-check.
