It's okay all the preppers will have supplies for the next apocalypse, which I am sure will be within a year. I hope all the retard annihilate themselves. Really how stupid do you have to be to believe all this noise about the end of the world that comes around every few years.

I dunno why you're laughing at "preppers"....in the end, he has supplies that he will use anyways...Hate to tell you this but "prepping" is called "living" everywhere else in the world. Its only in the "live for the moment" North american society that having food for a few months is seen as "whacko"
stop stressin, we'll just print more money to get out of any future trouble.

Yuuup...
"Hello? Mastercard? Yea, listen, i maxed out my limit....can you raise it please? Thanks....oh BTW, i'll call you in 6 months so we can raise it again....cool? thhhaaaankss...."
Stocking months of food makes sense in a subsistence economy, which is not "everywhere else in the world". And because we don't operate a subsistence economy, it makes no sense here unless you're watch too many YouTube videos like BLUE KAWI.
ALWAYS..........humanity dun goofed and is evil.......humans must pay, please, please, .....pretty please bring on the apocalypse
The apocalypse as predicted by nearly every religion is not the end of the world. It is the end of the world as we know it.
Look up the Greek origins of the word 'apocalypse'.
Well if u have some time read up on a bit of astronomy. We are constantly bombarded by space fragments. Sometimes we come close to large meteors. If my history is correct, we've been struck by massive astroids before, cue dinosaurs. Its all about #s, keep playing the numbers & u're bound to hit it. Do i live in constant fear? No, but i like to think "what if?"
They say the sun will burn out in a few billion years so to answer the question "will the world end?" Yes, it sure will. Its a matter of when

I was just disagreeing with the notion that hoarding was some kind of social imperative.
But even if you look at it from the perspective of surving a global catastrophe, the merits of "prepping" is equal to the real risk of the catastrophy actually happening. Since the risk is so close to nil, I think preppers are a joke.
Obviously the Mayan end of days thing is ridiculous. The asteroid strike isn't all that much better. How many hundreds of millions of years ago did we get hit, and will our fate be the same as the dinosaurs if an asteroid hits again? Global economic crisis? Maybe. Climate devastation? Perhaps. Global pandemic? Sure, could be. But none of the preppers are responding to the actual threat level IMO. They are living out their fantasy of self-reliance in a future apocalyptic world. It's a cultural thing, which is why I would expect the vast majortiy of preppers come from the You Ess Aye, and they are probably all card carrying members of the NRA. They're not in touch with reality. At some level, they are HOPING that the apocalypse will come in their lifetimes.

Seriously? tell that to people affected by hurricane sandy/katrina or the thousands of other natural disasters around the world and throughout history. Better to have it and not need it then the other way around.
p.s. 8 min to go, i think we're gunna make it

Surely you are not comparing a hurricane to a paranoid delusion about the end of the world.

So, you're only a prepper if you are preparing for the end of the world? I guess the preppers that are preparing for the end of the world wont touch their supplies if a snow storm takes out the power and disturbs the food supply network? LOL
The reason you see preppers coming from USA is because you are exposed to US media, hence why thats all you hear about. The other reason is that in the first world country such as USA the average person is so far removed from self sufficiency. Think of the prepper movement as a push back to that. How can you think that having certain generic preps that encompass all natural disaster preparations among other things as something we need to ridicule?
Yes.
Preppers go far beyond the stocking of 3-7 days worth of food supplies, candles, battery-operated radios, blah blah blah. They build shelters, sometimes bomb-proof, stockpile guns, probably gold too, gasoline. They are preparing for Mad Max times. They are planning (and even hoping) for the End of Times, as per the topic of this thread. That's why they are deserving of ridicule.
Hey, the rapture is a complex event that requires a lot of coordination and precise elements to come together in just the right way at the right time. Of course it's gonna be overdue and over budget, just ask this engineer;
