ABBA is the greatest band of all time, full stop. The fact I ate led paint chips as a kid is mute.

The word you are looking for is "moot". We could only hope you would go mute.

I am not understanding why humans can't get a grip on reality. You can hug guns, and hate the existence of government all you want. You can fight and gain power short term, sure, but tell that to the dinosaurs and meteors who don't give one flying fig about your temporary anger.

I don't hate gun owners because guns exist. I hate bad logic. Don't lecture anyone about "cooperation" if your only argument is "more guns".

I can see why a story about the loan of a generator to an elderly woman would trigger yet another 37 anti-gun rant.

I wish I couldn’t, but there we are.

Not to mention that it’s ‘lead’, not ‘led’.

Ever wonder why kids eat lead paint chips?

There is a real reason.....

Probably the most likely apocalypse on the horizon will be global warming induced collapse of society. Guns aren't much help against a poisoned ecosystem and frequent natural disasters.

Am I getting ready to bug out during this apocalypse, or am I hunkering down?

If we don’t, it won’t matter how much junk a person hoarded under the excuse of “prepping”.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Rule of thumb - stay where you are - until they burn the place down around you - then run like hell and keep running.

There is a lot to be said for home field advantage...
