Thread: The Coming Storm

!!!!!!!!!

Your premise for the thread cannot be separated from politics. I am sad to see such a thread on this forum, it will cause strife and resentment and not lead to better understanding. These threads remind me of two elementary school kids pushing each other and saying "yeah, no you, oh yeah" just posturing trying to save face, and look cool.

The subject of this thread doesn't require any political posturing. If you can't respond to it with out that baggage it just means you are looking for a platform and in that case you are not welcome on this thread.

It's just an opinion as to what might be coming. No names, no political parties, no talk of issues. Just a look into your crystal ball.

I will not hesitate to close this thing if there are any violators.

To be honest, I personally felt pretty threatened in the UK during the first lockdown, we saw mass panic buying stores with empty shelves and people have definitely changed for the worst, firearms and guns in the UK are pretty hard to own without a very good reason, I have always owned and kept up my Firearm certificate going just in case the day came where I needed to protect my family, I keep a few thousand rounds just in case.

I'm sure the usual suspects will be by though

I'm opinionated, so I'll refrain from comment, other than to say this: Talk to your children.
They are the future.

Mine (aged 19-28) are pretty squared away. They value education, they have a pretty good
work ethic, they care for each other, and they are reasonably well informed.

We certainly don't always agree with each other, but we do share a concern for the health of
our environment, for the value of human life, and they do have a pretty solid commitment to
fairness as a political ideal.

We sometimes get tangled up with our different takes on current events, but I respect that, on the whole,
their hearts are in the right place. So, since they represent the future, I look to them for a vision.

As I recall my own youthful idealism, hopes, and attitudes...and compare them to our present circumstances...
it's abundantly clear that things don't always work out the way we envisioned. But we're still here, we still care,
and we still hope for the best.

Where are we headed ???? Hmmm, frankly I never expected to be where we are today. The technology revolution has had far more consequences than most people expected.
Future? .... your guess is as good as mine.

Nobody changes anybodies mind. That is certain. The media sucks! They can look at a 50 acre plot of beautiful green grass. And focus on the one dandelion. Zoom in and WOW! That lawn is full of weeds! Look at it! People perception of things is more than the actual result. Fear sells. Lot of clickbait out there. I was born in '65. We never had "snowpocalypse" we had snow storms. We never had polar vortex, they said it was cold. Everything is sensationalized, Back in the day you got your news at 5 or 6 oclock and it was a half hour. Today its 24/7/365.

I see the future, and it don’t involve me once I’m dead, so let get all apocalyptic, I only wish I can be there when the terminator comes around, then I can ask him where he got the cool sunglasses

Well, I was born in 48 and we didn't even have a TV then. By the time I was 3 or so and we had one and the news was 15 minutes. Folks got their news from newspapers. T.V was a fad to a lot of people and many didn't think it would be around long. Most watched the news to see the pretty weathergirl at the end.

Like with anything they invent someone always finds a way to muck it up and find some evil use for it.
