Make your predictions on life in a post-apocalyptic world
We're on the brink of destruction, folks:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=102&topic_id=87377

So let's hear it, what are your predictions for a post-apocalyptic world.
Will the mutants rule the world?

Are bows and arrows to become the fashionable thing for the homeowner to protect his slag heap?

How will radioactive water taste?

1. My goal will be to locate and capture all of the pre-bombing beer
No need to worry about radioactive water.

3. I think you may have struck on the new currency
American Dollars will be worthless in the PAW, therefore commodoties such as pre-PAW beer will be the new gold.

BTW, gold may be useless as well...

2. I'll start by Eating My Dogs one at a time,
(since I won't be able to feed them) and drinking water from the hot water tank, next the cats since they hunt for them selfs. Last I will eat my chickens and ducks, and drink from the hot tub. By then we should have a new President.

7. Don't eat your dogs!
In a post-apocalyptic world, dogs can be a huge asset. Use them for hunting (if they are big), or barking at those who approach and killing vermin (if they are small).

Even a little chao-chao dog will have lots of work to do killing all the mutant, radioactive rats (at least the smaller ones -- the bigger ones might require explosives).

23. Errrr...
you have chickens and ducks, but don't think you can feed your dogs?
I have a suggestion. Let the chickens, ducks and dogs mingle together for a little while, and you won't have to worry about feeding your dogs.
:think:

4. After the Appocalypse
A Christian fundamentalist fascist will be appointed Attorney General.

US Citizens will be locked up indefinately without charge, access to legal counsel or even a trial.

We will invade a country that poses no threat to us, just show them furrners what time it is.

oh wait....

6. The standards of many men will then be much like a modern day Freeper
seeking a bride...

"Hey, y'all! I'm lookin' fer a gal with all her teeth, and good skin. No lesions."

11. It's already been simulated by the good folks at Interplay/Black Isle
Get thee to thine software store, and acquireth the Fallout 1 & 2 boxed set. All will be revealed therein.

12. I'll be perfecting
techniques for luring freepers out of their well stocked bunkers, picking them off and taking their beer.


Probably try baiting them with bacon first, then making NASCAR noises.
If those don't work, whip out the inflatable jesus.
Gets'em every time.

13. I know that you meant this for fun
But I have a serious answer anyway.
I happen to believe in the prophecies and so I believe that it will happen just as predicted. But few really know just what is predicted because they have hardly read the bible at all and even fewer understand.
But it goes like this. There is a major confrontation in the Middle East that affects the whole world. And just before the world destroys itself with the bomb Jesus returns to earth and is seen in the heavens by every one on the earth.
Then Jesus sends his elect (144,000 of them) throughout the world to set up a new kingdom that will last 1000 years and we beat our spears into pruning hooks and our swords into plowshares. There is a 1000 years of peace on the earth.
After the 1000 years of peace, evil is said to be released for a short season and then New Jerusalem, which is described as a cube 5000 miles square, descends out of the heavens and takes up all of the people on the earth just before the earth is swallowed by the expanding and dying sun.
Sounds like science fiction yes?

18. Of course! We'll all be Greens, then
Perhaps Ralph Nader is a cockroach in disguise, helping his master race ascend to dominance?

22. I'm amzed peopel by into the Borg stories
I really am. It's like taking the flood myth literally when there is not enough water existing on the earth to cover it. That doesn't even take into account the space necessary to handle two specimens of each species on the planet!

Come on, folks, do the math and work the science!
