It's not horsecrap. You're in denial.
It isn't exactly hard to see why a prepper, especially a hardcore prepping-as-lifestyle type, might see some upside in a disaster. It's just human nature to want that I told you so moment. Stir in some preppers' preoccupation with "mockers and doubters" and you have the perfect conditions for wanting it to happen -- on some level and despite the better judgement of their conscience. It's kind of like liberals wanting us to lose in Iraq. They'd deny it to the hilt but we all knew they wanted it.
Having lived through very hard times, I can guarantee you that I don't like having to do it. I can do it, and have, but you are full of crap that anyone wants it to happen.
It's like saying someone that has a lifestyle of buying house insurance is secretly hoping their house burns down. Horsecrap.

Think about this way and you will see that Yardstick has a point.
It’s just human nature to want that I told you so moment. Stir in some “mockers and doubters” preoccupation with preppers’ and what they believe and how the spend their own money have the perfect conditions for wanting them punished for not think and behaving like they think they should — on some level and despite the better judgement of their conscience they want this people punished for their ‘misdeeds’. It’s kind of like liberals wanting us to lose in Iraq. They’d deny it to the hilt but we all knew they wanted it. Sooner or later if these “mockers and doubters” happen to know any preppers they will be among the despite the better judgement of their conscience they will be among the first to report those preppers to the authorities for their misdeed and hoarding. Why it many even eat at them so much that they don’t even wait, but upon learn of these people they would (anonymously of course) despite they better judgement and ‘conservative’ values feel the need to report such miscreant to the authorities so as to make sure that their behavior is monitor and thus insure a better chance that they be punished for their behavior. Now does that make sense?
Yardstick you are trying to blow smoke up somewhere were the sun don’t shine.
I’ll tell you what I will put the body of my work for the past week helping, urging, advising, making recommendations, posting prep list and so own and the number of people I have help against all you anti-prepping post. I know for a fact I have helped a lot of people and I have the Freepmails of thanks to prove it.
My posting history is open for you to study. Now you show me were during the past week you helped anyone on FR to the same degree. You show me where your anti-prepping BS has helped anyone, has made anyone’s life easier or helped cause them less suffering. Are you up to my challenge?
That’s let me out of your condemnation of preppers as I don’t have any “human nature” (I control what I think) nor any preoccupation with mockers and doubters - you, see, everyone controls his/her life and I don’t give a crap what anyone else does - prep/don’t prep, live, die, I don’t care.
Your posts are still worth dirt.
