    They are having huge problems right now in China with rice. Read a nice long article about it yesterday.

    If the crisis-bomb drops, I hope hippiehillbilly and his fam will let me come work on his self-sustainable farm :] It would be a pleasure.

    I think that it would have been more possible, if you didn't include the first five words of your post and if you had asked at least 6 months ago.

    But , then again, I don't know him at all, so you never know.

    Marie Antoinette never said that. :D

    It was based on political propoganda written by Rousseau.

    Seems that some people really want society to collapse just to be able to say I told you so.

    Shit has always been fucked up, people have been thinking the world was going to end for centuries

    I agree in many cases, only I think the right to be able to say I told you so is the last reason many hope for a collapse. Im not saying that nobody is that simple or selfish, just that many are hoping for a change, however devastating or violent it may be. I mean will be.

    People can keep on worrying about the price of beans in China all they want. I'm resourceful. I've rarely ever had to go hungry and I plan to keep it that way. I can hunt and I can gather. I may not have any elk and bear around but you better believe the neighbors dog will come into my yard at the wrong time one of these days.

    Am I kidding? Sort of. It'd be drastic before I'd eat the neighbors dog, but I WOULD kill and eat the neighbors dog if it was needed. He's lean and well taken care of. Can't say that about the damn mutts running around. :H

    Its pretty stupid to invest in anything right now, all it takes is one rumor and the whole shebang collapses.

    If i want wheat ill move to saskatchewan.

    Really? Because these stories will make almost everybody who CAN go out and stock up ACTUALLY GO OUT AND stock up. Then when the shit is over those who got burnt the worst will go out and stock up, like dummies, to make sure they don't get burnt again.

    I know where I'm putting my tax money. . .



    Edit: That was shit talk. I'm not buying stocks I'm buying products.

    what a way to stimulate the economy create a scare that gets u to buy 10 years of supplies in a single day

    it alsio creatres a shortage that justifies the scare making more ppl buy 10 years supply in a single day further stimulating the economy further creatting a problem
    ofcourse it can only go so far..

    think wqhat theyre doing.. tellin u buy more then u need ..because theres not enough...that will only further screw things up and yea typical american mentality..

    if theres not enough then reduce your need for it
    while increasing the supply..
    dont act counter productive and buy up all u can drastiucly imp[acting the already low supply

    if iuts too expensive to buy rice dont buy rice buy fruit or beans instead
