Iin, that i'm a wuss who looks forward collapse of civilization?

As many of you probably know, we're headed into an economic meltdown which is compounded by an event known as "Peak Oil" (the point at which it becomes increasingly difficult to get enough oil to fuel our infrastructure. Google "Olduvai Theory" to get a better idea of what I'm saying here.) These events will likely lead to food/water shortages, social chaos and the end of centralized government authority in the United States by the 2020's. We're dependent on oil, and we haven't developed nuclear power as a replacement (like we should have done 30 years ago.) Technological civilization is probably f***ed. But to me that's good, in a way. Why, you ask?
I'm a wuss... I'm not a good unarmed fighter. I've got short arms and I've always tended to get worse than I give in fights. I'm an EXCELLENT rifleman and pistol shot though.
Sometimes I let people push me around, because I can't stand the sick feeling I'd get in my guts for months afterward should I lose a fight. I also hate taking s**t from bullies though... it makes me sick in the gut also. If I were to pull a weapon and make them pay with their lives, I'd escape having to pay for the situation with months of gut-sickness AND I'd rid the world of a bully... but in today's liberal-infested society I'd go to prison (my worst nightmare. I'd be unarmed and defenseless amongst aggressive, predatory degenerates. And I'd have a hard time even committing suicide; short-drop hanging and sharpened spoons in the jugular sound like a rough way to go. Also, you're always being watched.)
Now, if society collapses... no more police. No more judges. No more prisons. People might maim or kill you, but they won't put you in jail (my biggest fear... if that happened I'd have to fist-fight 24/7 and if I lost even ONE fight, I'd get homosexually gang-raped.)
But you know, I'm NOT afraid to die! I'm an atheist, so what's to be afraid of? I only fear HUMILIATION.
If society collapses, I can just up and KILL any son-of-a-bitch who tries to amuse himself by f***ing with me! (No prison time to worry about! And if his friends/family come after me, WTF? I'm not afraid of death and I can shoot just as well as anybody; I've had professional training AND I'm better than most people I know, in fact.)
Anybody else here, who can relate???

    I think a lot of people think this way, but most don't really express it out loud (except the obvious crazies).

    LOL wow. I don't look forward to it, it will be like going back to the old west where any asshole with a gun makes the law. To hear you're looking forward to it so you can shoot people is pretty worrisome. I hope if it happens, you get taken out at the beginning.

    I agree completely. I even made this account to tell you how much I agree. From what you've been saying it sounds like all your life you've hated people and when society falls you'll finally get your chance to let out all the anger. Watch "High School of the Dead",its an anime but there's a fat kid in it who sounds ALOT like you. And you know what, I think you'll really like it. WATCH IT!

    Hmmm, no. I cannot relate. When society collapses, I will not spend my time trying to kill people. I have more important work to do.

      Of course, we'll be on our way back to the Stone Age (with no woolly mammoths to hunt BTW!) if Peak Oil turns out to be as bad as many experts say it will be. Humanity will be f***ed with a capital "F." So who cares about "doing important things" (other than keeping your belly full and the cold wind out... or protecting your dignity against assclowns?)

        Well no, of course there won't be wolly mammoths, that's just silly. When I say "important" I mean simple things like chop wood, carry water. Who cares? I do, and I am not alone. When society collapses from lack of oil, how will you weather the transition? What are you doing to wean yourself from the addiction? If you fear that all hell will break loose then yes, that is exactly what you will experience. Don't let fear control you for people will take advantage of this weakness.

      That's a matter of opinion. I don't consider terminating bullies/thugs to be "murder" (especially if groups of them are trying to take away your food supplies or looting, as is likely after energy shortages and blackouts start hitting really hard.)

    i Agree, everyone will try to loot and steal from one another once food and clean water become scarce. Then just like in modern society (on a smaller degree) the strong will prey on the weak to get the sustenance they need to carry on. The only difference being that people will have guns giving them a better chance of fending off invaders. Personally im 6'3" and have never lost a fight. I welcome the collapse of society for the simple fact that i want to test my grit and survivability against the rest of humanity. I wont rape, or steal, or kill unnecessarily, but if some MF kicks down my door to steal my food and rape my girl, ill turn his face into a pile of bloody pulp. Then again, im admittedly a sick F**k

    jk. actually i know what you mean. I myself have very strong legs and can kick really hard but like you, my arms are short. So Im hoping that a disease strikes human kind that makes everyone's arms shrivel up and fall off so that i could kick the doodoo out of everyone who messes with me.

    So basically you're saying you want to see civilization as we know it collapse because why? you have short arms and are not good in a fistfight so you'd rather shoot people? No offense, but i'd really love to slap the crap out of you for a little bit.

      @pooItoy:
      You got short arms too? Maybe I'd end up slapping you silly. Anyway, the way I see it is like this: either there's an afterlife or there isn't. If there's an afterlife, I'm going to Hell because I can't bring myself to believe in Jesus, check my brain at a church door, ect.
      If society collapses, morality won't matter anymore (we'll be a failed species after all) AND I'm probably a deader sooner or later; so, I'd better make sure I leave this world with some blood on my hands (at least I'd have actually done something to EARN the torture I'd be facing for eternity. If I'm going to suffer, it's going to be for a REASON, damn it! Does that make sense to you?)

        no seriously now, it doesn't make sense. Jesus is nice. He wouldn't send anyone to hell just because they don't believe in him.

        don't kill people. Heaven and hell exists in THIS life, not the afterlife. Don't create hell on earth.

    What the fuck are you talking about?

    Even if society did collapse people would, by instinct, gather together again. That's how it all got started.

      Society might "gather together again" but it wouldn't be for hundreds of years. Look at the fall of Rome and the Middle Ages afterward... then consider how we're going to fall about 100x as far and crash about 100x as hard.
      The people who make it, will be the well-armed ones!
