Armageddon/ Apocalypse......what's ya thoughts ?

No, unfortunately I think that the current generations have lost not only valuable skills, but also a more valuable resiliency. I hate to admit it, not just younger ones, but my age also (baby boomers). There is a tremendous amount of surplus wealth and expectations that I never saw growing up, and that's a bad thing. With occasional exceptions, we have 2 generations of spoiled brats, and it is definitely showing.
 
I only believe in localized situations such as an earthquake here on the West Coast.
Or maybe the possibility of a terrorist dirty bomb or similar type incident.

Planes didn't fall out of the air in Y2K and I have no reason to believe 2012 or the likes
 
Zombies are already here you only have to take a look out side an Apple store on release day....
 
Not zombies, just cult members....:)
Besides zombies are not real. Vampires in the other hand they do exist...!!!!
 
You cats worry too much.

If God decides to take a fiery poop on this dirtball, ain't jack you can do about it.

If WWIII breaks out and we have to fight nuclear mutant holocaust zombie cannibals, there's nothing you can do about it until the time comes.

If Randall Flagg and Captain Tripps decide to hold hands and skip across the globe, stocking up on Nyquil ain't gonna help.

Preparing for the end of time doesn't do you any good if you get killed in a car wreck on your way home today.

This I have learned from a friend of mine that survived Leukemia, only to find out recently that she now has Lymphoma:
Live everyday like it's your last, that way, if you do find yourself in front of the Pearly Gates with a winged version of Burl Ives asking you if you paid your dues; you can tell him the check is in the mail (thank you, Jack Burton).

When God decides to take you out of this world you're leaving it. Period. No questions asked, no second chances. Gone, baby, gone. So live without regret today and don't worry about tomorrow. People need to learn to be more like dogs sometimes.
 
KemSat, we're planners at heart and always will be, but there is a lot of truth to what you say. One of my favorite quotes is from Emily Dickinson.

Because I could not stop for Death, he kindly stopped for me. :D
 
Nothing wrong with planning or prepping. The error is in the mindset that you can plan and prep for every single possibility, or that because you have stores of items for 4 years, 10, years, or 40 years, you will automatically survive any occurence.
People get so caught up in prepping that they start to prep themselves to death. They worry so much that they forget to enjoy life while it's worth a damn to enjoy.
What I'm saying is: they let preparation rule them, instead of them ruling preparation.
 
^^^^^^^^
Not a whole lot we can do about that when it comes, except live our lives the best we can if/until it does.

I've seen a program of preppers that were preparing for 2012. Their entire lives were devoted towards preparation of the impending doom next year. Even their kids lives were dominated by this approach to life.

I wonder how they'll cope with real life once they figure out that they'll have to plan towards retirement and live responsibly and maintain social relationships, just like everyone else.
 
Almost all generations go through this psychologically. It's a mix of ego and a deep fear of death. i.e. How can the world go on when I'm dying.

With that said, I wouldn't begrudge the next generation from taking revenge for what the baby boomers have done to them financially.
