What are you all complaining about ????

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

Time out. Time out. What seems to be the problem here ? All us long time readers/posters know what the deal is. The problem has not, is not going to get fixed in time. The pollys, for what ever reason, don't want to get it, can't get it, don't get it. WE GET IT. Let's go on with our preps, share with those who are willing to listen, offer help when asked, and ignore those who just want to look for the pie in the sky by and by. I don't answer pollys, I don't read pollys, I do care about them though. I hope they will get it, but I don't loose any sleep over them. We are all big boys and girls here. You want to be stupid, be stupid. Preparing is prudent. Not preparing is stupid. Let's get on with our preps and our lives. I personally don't want to waste my time arguing with people who don't want to help themselves.

I agree...I would like to see the great minds on this forum spend more time debating topics of usefulness instead of jerking each other around on ridiculous issues half the time also. *It's JUNE*

I second the motion.

I agree, but just let me help out also by keeping polly/trolls off limits. It doesn't hurt having them around (actually they help some) as long as they don't divert people from helping themselves.

Take care

Yep, I agree too. I made the decision to not even bother with the posts that are only intended to divert attention away from what really matters.

As a Suburb dweller (about 3 miles to 7-11...), I'm concerned about the "human element". Having Pollys here helps give a more balanced view of peoples perception of the problem, which will affect how people REACT to the problem.

i very seldom read the polly view, I think of it as Polly Poop.

It seems you just can't get away from the idiotic childish desire to label people can you? It's always us against them, Doomers vs. Pollys........

I know life is more understandable if you stick everything into a category: you can then get by without understanding the real complexities of life but you remain a child in your thinking.

Most people here are making some form of prudent preparations.....they just disagree as to the severity of the problem and degree of preparation needed. Just because I will not be living in my buried school bus in rural New Mexico armed to the teeth does not make me a Polly.........

Frankly I'm tired of all this shit about DGI's.......they do get it......they just understand the facts differently.......It seems like it gives simplistic people a fix when they can smugly claim to know it all and label others derogatively.....

Perhaps it's time that the maturity level increased......you're just as 'religious' in your beliefs as most people in 'religion' are, and we all know what trouble that has caused all of the people of the earth.
