Paranoid or realistic thinking?

I do not watch them on TV. I believe that anything can happen at any time. Some of the things they are predicting we would not survive. I actually believe the financial crisis will be what happens, with possible food and cash shortages. I have food on hand, I have stuff on hand in case of a tornado. No big deal.

I have never seen any of those shows. Don't care to. I think in some cases,the doomsays people are just wacko! I am so not all people who prepare for doomesday are like that,I am sure. I don't think alot of the things people are worring about will happen. If they do not for a very long time! I just think these people would be better off worring about the present and not the end of the world!

I would hate to be in their family. What a negative force to be around! I mean there is a difference in being prepared for a hurricane and being prepared for the next world war.

hi celticeagle. i've watched some episodes of the show and i must say that i'm impressed with the preparation that these families have done. honestly, at this point, i've only watched the show for entertainment purposes and nothing more. i think the show preys on all this 'end of the world' talk. i would understand a considerable amount of preparation about certain scenarios that might be deemed as catastrophic but i personally wouldn't go to the same lengths that these families have done. cheers and happy mylotting!!!

i havent seen those shows but you must be watching them. when and on what channel? or are you just talking about shows in general? i think this sandy catastrophy and our economy is causeing a lot of folks to worry and take note for being prepared. especially since some actually believe its the end here on earth

Yes, I have seen one of this shows...I think they are just paranoid of doing it...I even think that they are over reacting to the doomsday which the Mayans have predicted...I even saw that people in the show already wear gas mask and are already stocking foods for their survival kit! wow.

Emergencies of that nature could very well happen, according to NASA and other sources. I think it makes more sense to be prepared and not have anything happen than to not be prepared and have something happen. That "something" could be solar in nature. The sun controls much of what we experience here on earth, so that solar flares or CMEs could fry our electric grids instantaneously. The sun makes great differences in the weather, changing the temperatures of the ocean and land masses and the position of the jet stream. Finances... we can see that happening if we just open our eyes. Then entire world is in financial trouble. Government takeover (ours or someone else's) is always a potential problem in any situation. Add up all the odds, then think about the consequences of ignoring them. There are many, many prophecies and predictions of enormous life changing events in our near future. Why ignore those who try to warn us? And IF "it" should happen, which neighbor are you going to go to for help? He just may decide his food, water, etc., are not available to you. Just some thoughts.

Everything is possible and they're trying to prepare for all of it. Some of it would be difficult, but they're even thinking about blasting huge asteroids so they won't hit here, either change the course of their direction or make them into small fragments that we can take much better. Some say the world will end at the end of the Mayan Calender. The Mayans were interupted during their creating the calendar. Fight people who are taking you over or work on a calendar? Which would you do. Duh.
