![]() The real world has many, many real problems, and I think one of the biggest problems is the apocalyptic mindset. If it's all going to end, then we don't have to solve any problems, do we? I grew up in a family that specialized in emotional abuse. It was a rule of fear, by a coward that couldn't face his own shortcomings, and the fact that his own choices led everyone around him to ruin. I survived. The biggest thing I've learned in life is that, no matter what color, creed, sexuality, or nationality we are, there are only 2 kinds of people: You can build up the ones around you, or you can tear them down. I'm doing my best in my life to build others up. But I'm starting to wonder here - threads about "Sovereign citizens". Threads about "prepping". Now, the push in this thread that the End is Nigh. It's just sad. There are some great people here, fine minds, creative writers. It's sad to see the doom-'n-gloom. ![]() |

I agree completely. For example, ISIS' endgame is provoking its own version of prophesied Armageddon, and we've all seen the heinous things that it's done trying to bring that about. The apocalyptic mindset is nihilistic and pessimistic and leads to fear bordering on paranoia.

Boys, I have to carry Pepper Spray to check the mail. My life and virtue are regularly threatened on teh Interwebs, the GOP candidates go to rallies in a town 45 minutes away to hear a preacher say that folks like me should be slaughtered without trial as "an affront to Gawd", and my GF's parents belong to a church that says we aren't even human.
You want to worry about existential threats? Be my guest. Perhaps Straight white men *should* spend more time being afraid, but I truly don't wish that. |

We've wandered a LOOOOOONG way off of the topic of current events in its proper scale.
I think we all need to take a deep collective breath and calm down. Uncle Ted |

I would like to know which GOP candidates were at such a sermon and when. I would like to know which church states that you are not human. I would like to know why you posted that Straight white men should be afraid. And I would like to know if your post is or is not a doom and gloom as you stated you did not like them.
