City people..........................what can you do.
@BB
You actually have done a first by implying I’d be a part of a collective. Not one soul who knows me would ever describe me as being that way, and for what it’s worth, I don’t joke about murdering people either.
Just think about this for a second: If a man you don’t know posted on an internet forum that during a disaster he was going to kill people in his neighborhood, and you had family in that same neighborhood, how would you feel then?
IMO there is still a community out there. I am not foolish to think that a lot has been lost over the last couple of decades but if we decide to give up on the idea of helping your brother out, then if and when something happens we have truly lost our humanity. There are many of my " neighbors " that I may not go out to dinner with them but if they had a need I would do my best to fill it. If we do not exercise what our forefathers taught us then all will be lost, then we will become like some that have posted" will do whatever needed to survive including murder and pillaging" . If we are to change this country we must go back to the roots that this great country was founded on and change thinking. Start small if its taken decades to fall it will take decades to stand back up.
I don't think your out of the mainstream, as far as this section in concerned, I just think that you have began too strong. What I'm trying to offer is advice... I've reread the initial post that brought most of this on, and I believe you are reading too much into his comments. I don't disagree with most of what you say, especially in your last post. I doubt that many, including Lurker, do. Again, what I'm saying is tap the brakes a bit if you want to be taken seriously here. We have seen many different persons on OSA who are way too antagonistic right from the start. No one takes well to that, whether in real life or a forum.
I will say this: if you have read much of the section then you know that some here are serious, some are not, some like to be light hearted and have meaningful contributions, and some like to troll. When persons new to the board are very antoginistic, their seriousness is suspect. Again, if you are as serious as you seem to be, ease in to this and get to know folks. It will be taken a lot better and you will be accepted much more readily..
