be it civil war with the negroes and Mexicans , or a zombie apocalypse ??
The question is if the shit really did hit the fan, what would you do, and how would you survive ?
I would take my family to my brother's house. he's a survivalist, and he's got a fucking armory and dry goods that can feed us for a long time, and his house backs up to a lake, so we don't have to defend two fronts.

I'd use my head. Not worried about being able to out-think armed simps like 3.14, or zombies, which is about the same threat level.

Would he want you there? Maybe he has enough just to feed his family. You should have a good stock of your own stuff.
I live in an appartment far away from any family. I would have to join up with another group. I'm well armed have a lot of supplies.

I love apocalyptic films but good ones are hard to find.
Knowing (2009) Nicolas Cage film about the end of the world
Last Night (1998) a film about the last night of the world.
28 Days Later (2002) Not the end but a great zombie film
Night of the living Dead (1990) Not literally the end but a good zombie film
Those just popped into my head. Any recommendations?
-
Just set this up:

Bay, you know your brains are located in your anus. If there was a zombie attack, you would die in euphoria. Getting your salad tossed by a zombie. P.S. I recommend Dawn of the Dead.

I would put up a " Now Hiring " sign in my front yard and dress up as a job to keep the minorities away ...
Fail

Just get a sample job application and make about 500 copies of it. Be ready to hand them out to the thugs and they will scatter in every direction.
Simple, cheap, no blood, no go to jail.

Similar plan here. My father has a 300 acre farm on the water w/ 50,000 rounds stored. Should we start stocking up on the Trenbologna now?

Helicopter (someone that can fly it would help)
Desert island.

I would print the truce thread before going to the basement. I wouldn't want to die of boredom down there.

rape, rape, pillage, pillage, rape, rape, pillage , pillage. Will finally get to test out some of my grenades.

I think personally if there really was a Zombie apocalypse, it wouldn't be as profound as they make it in the movies. i mean why is it in every movie the power gets cut and there's no communications ? do zombies know how to take out power grids and cell towers that are largely automated and highly secured ?They are mindless drones that shuffle around aimlessly, and they accomplish this within days no less.

No but when law and order breaks out - the ghetto savages will plunder all the copper, lines, metals, etc.
It would be fun seeing a Braveheart like battle w the ghetto savages v the zombies and see who comes out ahead.

Check out the TV show "The Living Dead"...They just finished the second season but search the net and you should be able to dig up the first season episode 1 to get you started. Pretty cool show.

I'd rape a zombie. Terrorize them a bit, see if they like up 'em.

I know right just get a few of those huge snow plow trucks mount some .50 cals on them boom no more zombies.

Kurt Russell's escape from L.A. was pretty terrible in terms of quality, but entertaining none the less.

these things have backup generators, and also emergency broadcast systems...which are there in case of EMERGENCIES ;)
I'm just saying it seems that everything, even the military and highly secure systems that are designed to function in times of war, are wiped out by mindless things that have no purpose or thought..limited motor skills and cant even climb a ladder or open a locked door...but they can take out subsytems 200 feet underground that are highly secured and protected by armed personnel, and they do it instantly.
In the real world i don't think that happens
-
Most wouldn't die to the zombies....it'd be to all the diseases the corpses(dead and undead) give off like cholera. Most westerners would just die off from weakness since they couldn't go for more than a few days without getbig.com. City centers would be bombed by the military in an attempt to destroy as many zombies as possible.
The world's nuclear reactors would all meltdown since there'd be no one around to tend to them.
And, of course.....zombieism can of course be passed to animals. Not only would you have human zombies, disease, lack of food, and roving bandits, but zombie cows, sharks, pigs, and rats.
-
Zombies are pointless. If you hide long enough they die out when the food runs out.

"Walking dead" unless it's called something else outside the US. yup it's great and i've gotten caught up. largely the inspiration for this thread. I'm curious what you guys think it would really be like and what you would do.
As we all know Getbiggers would be the most resourceful of the bunch :D

maby the backup system run out maby :P
I don't think it would happend instantenously, the zombification. But the idea behind it could be about the avarage branwashed consumer zombies or that everything can be taken away from you instantly..
-
Surprised no one's yet mentioned holing up in The Winchester.
-
Have fun with those child support payments. But I guess having daydreams about being a hero in a zombie invasion make the responsibilities of manhood disappear. Takes more than steroids to be a real man.
That's two ;)

I'm sorry to pop that bubble over your head so you are hurdling back to ground but rule one when in a surviving situation ala shit hit the fan / end of civilisation is.
NEVER EVER take anybody in, never mind if the person is your brother or sister or the fairy fucking gomother you NEVER EVER take somebody in.

It appears to be worth a look; I'll Netflix it when it becomes available. Thanks. It can't be any worse than 2012. :-[

What makes you think he's letting you in? Feeding you means less for him and his, and he's probably been warning you for years?

Hey, I love those type of movies too.
Have you ever seen 'The Night of the Comet'? It's from the 80s.
I've often wondered why these types of movies appeal to me. I think it might have to do with the simplicity of survival, as opposed to all the seemingly worthless and annoying decisions that must be made in current life. I also think it would be really cool to just go around taking whatever you wanted.
I've been watching 'The Walking Dead' lately and love it. Same concept.

seriously, this^^^. I'm kind of the survivalist in my friend group and every random acquaintance i know is like "hurrrr im coing to your house during the apocalypse" and i just smile and think to myself "hurrrr good luck i won't be there". but in that situation i would probably try to join up with my parents, they live in another town but we are both fairly well armed and supplied.
is the 2012 shit is true though and the earth's rotation gets destabilized we will probably all die immediately.

Just added Night of the Comet to my Watch Instantly queue though it looks campy so I am dubious.
I think these kinds of movies appeal to me (and others) because directly or indirectly they prompt us to imagine a world where we think about what is important. Muscles, money, faith, fame, family, food, property, guns, etc... in a real crisis (such as the end of the earth!) all the things that we usually cling to, or ostensibly value, fall away. Characters in the films (and audiences) are prompted to think about what really matters to us. If we could strip away all the layers of life, what would we find at its core? Who are we... at our core? What do we value... at our core? We may think we know the answers to these questions . . . I don't think we do.
None of us do. :-\

Max Brooks has a great book World War Z out that details the various methods people used to (try) to survive when the Zombie outbreak occurred.
From man made forts to living on a nuclear powered submarine and island, etc... very interesting read. Because all the scenarios that you could think of have been laid out and how each one failed.

The season 2 finale had over 9 million viewers. This show could go on for years.
-
If it ends - more like when it ends.
Will it be worth living on - I don't know... maybe it revives our archaic senses and depression/anxiety will be a thing of the past.
Next year I'll buy my own gun, mom allowed it, and I'm pretty poised to improve my accuracy.
On a more positive note...
if there's martial law and should I catch you fondling a white Iphony it's all guns blazing.

No problem, bro. I'm sure I can still enjoy it.

It's the colloquial you don't understand. He writes with a sensibility you wouldnt get unless you were American or at least know Texans personally.

Have to wait until noon to start the war....with no work, and no responsibilities, they're conditioned to sleep late you know. ;D

painfully as well.... ;D ;D ;D

The key is to only protect yourself. Be the last man standing. We are all sinners. So it doesn't matter. There's no need to defend anyone but yourself if the end comes and the shit hits the fan. You didn't come into the world with anyone, and your not going to leave it with anyone. Your bloodline is not a possession...If were taking your own kids/babies, then you do what you can to bring them along as long as possible. But in no way shape or form should you put their life ahead of yours. If you have the abilitly to outlive them, then you do it. The strong always survives. ;)

It's funny that there's nothing in life that says anything is going to get any better for humans. It's probably going to continually get worse. Who says that won't happen? what do you do when everything shuts down and you can't go to the grocery store to buy food or water? Lets just imagine water stops flowing from the taps. Then what are you going to do?

Civilization's infrastructure is pretty well entrenched. I reckon the next notable mass death will be a quick pandemic, like the plague or spanish flu were. (AIDS is too slow to count as a proper pandemic, although it will take its toll. Something really nasty will come along, probably originating in China.) Otherwise, a few of the long anticipated mushroom clouds will finally arrive as the resource panic feeds the war machine, but none of this would lead to blood in the still existing streets. Economic collapse will lead to some panic but it would basically be a hiccup in the grand scheme.
Although Carlin was right that we're circling the drain as a species, people will form their little clans as they've always done, divide labor, etc. "Every man for himself" doesn't seem to be in our nature, or at least it hasn't been successful enough for history to have taken note of that strategy.

I would seek out other get biggers, maybe we can build a survival camp, we can start over,
With any luck booty and will grant will survive so we can have some form of entertainment!

It would be the best thing that could happen to this God forsaken place. Some needs to hitthe reset button. This shit sucks...So much evil, and sadness. There is good of course but resetting would be ideal...

I love apocalyptic films but good ones are hard to find.
Knowing (2009) Nicolas Cage film about the end of the world
Last Night (1998) a film about the last night of the world.
28 Days Later (2002) Not the end but a great zombie film
Night of the living Dead (1990) Not literally the end but a good zombie film
Those just popped into my head. Any recommendations?
Terminator, Mad Max, Planet of the Apes and Matrix series *cough* :)
"Miracle Mile" is cheesy and cheap but not altogether terrible. "The Book of Eli" is good, even if I can't help but to view it as Fallout 3: The Movie :)
Then you have your weather/comet/asteroid impact movies like "Armageddon," a.k.a. The Movie with the Most Countdowns in Modern Cinema a.k.a. the Movie with the Dumbest Premise Ever (shatter an asteroid the size of Texas with a couple of centrally buried nukes? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA), "Deep Impact," "2012" and ... what's the one with all of the ice and Dennis Quaid? Eh, I forget and I'm too fucking lazy to Google it. "Day After Tomorrow," I think.
There's also "I Am Legend," "12 Monkeys," "The Road" (which I've not seen), Kevin Costner's "Waterworld" and "Dirtworld" "The Postman," "Solar Babies," that awful movie with the dude who replaced James Caan in the TV adaptation of "Alien Nation" (Robot Jox, I think? It is a real piece of shit) ... the list is endless.
A better question is, what are plausible or semi-realistic apocalypse movies? "Deep Impact" probably comes closest. Like I said, "Armageddon" was not only one countdown after another, it was just fucking stupid. If an asteroid as wide as Texas was going to hit Earth, unless we had a Star Destroyer handy, we'd be pretty much fucked barring all but THE earliest detection (like in Jovian space). The movie made it out like Bruce Willis and company could drill a couple of holes into the rock, drop a nuke or two down them and BAM!, that'd be that. Drilling down into the rock would dramatically increase a nuke's efficacy, but scientists have already figured out that it'd take a 1 megaton detonation in the very middle of a kilometer-wide asteroid to violently shatter it (depending on the rock's composition). A 10 km-wide rock would require 1,000 megatons of centrally-buried nukes to blow into small pieces.
For reference's sake, the world's entire nuclear arsenal is on the order of a few gigatons, perhaps 10 gigatons (10,000 megatons). Most of those devices are HUGE. Getting all of them into orbit and plucking them down a hole would be probably the greatest achievement of mankind ...
But even THEN, it'd fall woefully short. Texas is over 1,200 kilometers wide. We'd lack the yield to shatter the thing into pieces by over a million to ten million times :(
The best thing to do would be to perform precise surface detonations on such a large object to try and alter its course. Nail something in a sweet spot at just the right time and it might zoom straight past Earth (or, preferably, hit another body so it won't ever circle back around and threaten us again).

I would just be peaceful and not worry about a whole lot of things. probably try to assist somebody that needed it
-
it's not an end per se...lets just say things will have to be balanced cause there are way too many people on earth who dont exist to contribute but only to destroy, who are only able to sin as a daily lifestyle. At some point, it's cyclical, there will be a need for a big cleaning, cause not everyone deserves to be alive, ressources are scarce. Atheists call it natural selection, others call it God's will.

And I call it

WTF! Hi Rainman!

It's funny that there's nothing in life that says anything is going to get any better for humans. It's probably going to continually get worse. Who says that won't happen? what do you do when everything shuts down and you can't go to the grocery store to buy food or water? Lets just imagine water stops flowing from the taps. Then what are you going to do?
It will be the wild wild west. But like someone said, people will clan up fast...
-
I'm not going to prepare for it all. If something catastrophic happens, I'll just kill a 'survivalist' and take all his shit.
HTH.

HTH.
oddly enough there are people that are assuming that will be be possible

If the end of the world happens...who says that survivalists will survive...You're going to "wait out" Armageddon?

so if some dirty mexicans cross the border and the piglet is puked on american soil, he's an american, u dumb piece of fck
Actually yes. Under U.S. Law, children born (with few exceptions for the children of diplomats and the like) in the United States are automatically granted citizenship. That's a big reason why a lot of pregnant women from Mexico come into the country. Ever heard of the term "anchor baby"?

"I wish God would just destroy the earth." - Butterbean's mom
I know of others who think the same
I'm thinking more along the lines of what people will do when the government uses the power of eminent domain they hold
How are folks going to react if uniforms come knocking on the front door and say .. you have to leave this home you've paid for .. we want it now
