America this week, what the hell?

[wallytoo]

The fact of the matter is, the Republican party isn't as educated as the Democrats, and Trumps supporters are even further below that average.

interesting take. how does that jibe with actual events, such as the baltimore, ferguson, and milwaukee riots. those were perpetrated generally by black americans, correct? does rioting and destoying property and businesses within one's own community seem like a highly intelligent response or behavior? or is that more likely to be something done by those with poor education, limited intellect, and zero accountability?

The most interesting part about that is that EVEN with all the black support, the education level is still well above the Republican party. So what's that tell you?

Now, I'm no supporter of BLM, or any of the nonsense that's gone on in Baltimore or Milwaukee, or any of the other places. BUT, I'm also completely aware that we have major issues with policing that need to be addressed.

I don't expect a cop to hold back when someone's coming at them with a gun, but I DAMN SURE expect them to hold back when someone who's unarmed is running away from them.

HOW is not in question. the question is WHAT.
what would happen?

how that could happen is a different question.

What would happen is that without management you'd destroy our natural resources in a matter of a couple of decades. Haiti is a pretty good example.

We don't have enough land to naturally support the population level we're at right now. Ever steam and river would be over fished, and wild game would be gone.

Pretty soon we'd resort to killing each other just to stay alive.

Sounds like a good plan to depopulate the planet.

Yeah, it's a great plan until you're one of the ones who's killed.

Fire up the grill!

i`m not worried one bit about myself. I`m prepared. :ak472:

Yeah, you guys are scared to death about someone on the internet finding out where you live, and you think you're going to survive the apocalypse!?! ound:ound:ound:

thanks for finally answering.

we are currently living on food being produced using a very small portion of land. are you saying once the entire area is open, that somehow we would have less food available?

I know, focusing on the long shot apocalypse helps distract you from more pressing concerns.

Bill collectors, eviction, rehab, suspended license, foreclosure, unemployment, etc.

Keep saying that... and dig yourself a bunker under your house so you could survive. Just like those fallout shelters popular in 60th...
because now people know where you keep your guns and how easy it is to take them from you.
Stupid bravado is just that, has nothing to do with survivability.

None of those are even REMOTE concerns for me, but thanks for giving us a little insight into your personal finances.

A small portion of land, with a HUGE amount of technology.

In your imagined world, who's going to build the tractors? Pesticides? Solar panels?

You're talking about a massive reversion to hunter/gatherer status, and with 300 million people that won't work.

 

[ToyoDriver]

No one cares what I have to say.

Maybe not yet, but never say never.

that you evaded answering the specific questions posed. no big deal, though.

Same people who does it today- Chinese. We will sell them out real estate and Hollywood movies.

Sure US have miles and miles of land. But how much of that is really usable without destroying the land itself? As big of a land mass US have, much of it is not very useful for self sustaining. How much fruit/vegetable and sea food do we import?

We have deserts as far as the eye can see, but can you grow anything on it? If you raise cattle, where will you get the crap they eat?

Fine, you want to be hunter gatherer. F*** farmers! Lets be like China and Japan and over harvest the land and sea. Now a lot of indigenous animals once abundant are very scarce. I'm not making this up. I have family in China and I went there. Things have changed much in the countryside.
