Lets just come to the conclusion that people in power will do anything they can to maintain it and increase it, and those that want power will do anything to get it. Yes people have been killed, they are being killed, and will continue to be killed because people want more and more power! Why do you...

Will the good ever prevail? Of everything that I have read and seen in my life I cannot help to think that good will never prevail against evil, for the simple reason that the good lack the one skill that is needed to obtain power and keep it?ruthlessness! It seems to be the ultimate Catch-22. A tru...

Am I on the right path? That is the question that has been bugging me for the last six years, as I see my friends and family living the lives of kings while I am living, or should I say surviving on my wages. I cannot help thinking that I am missing out because I have not got into a whole lot of deb...

Hello, Totally_Baffled Try not to get to down, with all the doom talk. I know it has been hard trying to talk to anyone about peak oil. Just look at it this way, society is going to change whether we like it or not, just take heart in the fact that change is good for you. Peak oil maybe a great bles...

Skeptik, go and do something contructive, here is a website where you can do something practical:

You never know you might not be so scared of change when you realise just how easy it is to survive away from your computer.

And remember "Fortes fortuna adiuvat"

Skeptik, you sound like you are scared of change? What?s to be scared of, the effect of peak oil could be the making of human civilization, it might be the best thing that could ever happen to us, or it might be the worst we just don?t know. All I know is that it is going to happen whether we like i...

I am with Mike on this one, why the hell do you want to keep this system going? Don't you see what we are doing to this planet. The human race is not going to turn away from fossil fuels, for the simple reason it costs too much money. The only way the planet can be saved is if peak oil hits us hard ...

Just say for one minute that abiotic oil is made deep within the earth wouldn't it be useless as a fuel for the reasons below: 1. As the abiotic oil would have had to survive the extreme pressures deep within the earths mantle on its way up to the surface, wouldn't the fact that it didn't burn then ...

Malcolm Wickes is doing what is expected of him. His most important role is deception, and it is working because the general public will take him at face value being that he is a figure of authority, and after all he is telling a half truth! This is all the public needs to know at this point. The de...

If you could only save five books for future generations what would they be? My choice would be: 1. Nineteen Eighty Four by George Orwell. 2. Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. 3. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. 4. The Iliad by Homer. 5. The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli. PS - Does anyone know what is the b...

To those of you that want this subject to be banned I have just a few things to say to you "Stop reading this thread" if you don't like the subject matter don't read it. You may think the subject of 911 should be reserved for the nut house but a lot of people don't judging by the amount of...

Those of you who think that if you are looking forward to the coming collapse are masochists, then you are fooling yourselves. The real masochists are those that want to keep this capitalistic system alive. It is you that wants to keep on raping this world for all it worth, just so you can keep your...

How will history judge us, will they look upon us as the destroyers of worlds, or will they regard our generation as the saviours of our world. How many of us will survive into old age, to tell the tales of the ?Great Decline?. Will there even be anybody left to carry on what we have started? maybe ...

The course that I went on was the 'essentials' which was mainly for beginners and only lasted for the weekend. The other courses Tess were for one week and would incorporate hiking and survival above the tree line. You should go it was so much fun! There were 17 people on the course, 10 males and 7 ...

Well I am finally back, and yes I did survive! Sorry I have not got back to you sooner but I have also been in the process of moving so I have not had access to the internet for the last month. The course was brilliant and I had a great time and learned a whole host of skills. The weekend started of...
