I think the healthy people will be able to cope with a depression provided they return to multi-generational family units and have an ability to become more self-sustaining. The unhealthy however will see a return to an age equivalent to pre modern era. The scary thing is, I don’t really see how the country will rebound as we are being surpassed and possibly made irrelevant by so many up and coming countries.

Half of you dont have a clue about what may happen in the future and even less of you know what to do.I dont pride myself as someone who thinks that Im smarter than averyone because when the ballon goes up I just hope Im on the right side rather they be criminal or good because my only purpose would be to survive so if you have food and water I would take it if you were armed I would still take it so you see know one could possibly prepare for that kind of chaos

I’m in the health care field (since 1980) and I see major trouble ahead. There’s still time but our system can support all of the free rides that people seem to think they are entitled to.

That video was a marketing stunt by a filmmaker. Check it out:

17,000 of forced government propaganda schooling is what has got us to this point.

Every one is entitled to their opinion. The one thing that I will acknowledge that I did wrong in the response was that I did not state that every one is not like what is portrayed in the article. There are contless acts of altruism conducted all the time. People are capable of both good and bad.

Judging from your response, I must have struck pretty close to home for you to reply the way you did. However, regardless of how you feel, I feel like I spoke the truth, and no it is not because I believe myself to be superior than any one else.

In your response you say, “I can see that you have NO faith in any of your fellow humans.” I have much faith in people. As stated above, people are capable of all kinds of good and bad things. I am simply responding to the thesis of this article based on opions that I have gained through experiences.

P.S. From what I have seen from your response, I would not let you in my life boat, nor would I want to be welcomed in one with you either.

You are so wrong it’s FUNNY! From your entire rant, I can see that you have NO faith in any of your fellow humans, implying of course that you are somehow better than they are. In one small article you have managed to put down anyone and everyone across the generations. Very pathetic attempt to climb the social food chain on the backs of others. Personally, I would NEVER want to be in a lifeboat with you.

I just finished reading this article and I agree with it one-hunded percent. It is truly scary at how petulent our society has become in the last couple of generations. I am 21-years-old(yes, the nintendo generation) and I truely see that unless the majority of people find a way to change themselves for the better, we are heading for turbulent times. As the article says, people lose control under stressfull conditions and they take it out on others and I have seen it countless times.A Truely scary article!

Let us analyze what exactly is the root cause. First, the last couple of generations, people between the agaes of 1 and 50-years-old, have had it so easy due to the abundance that our society has generated in the last fifty years has turned them into sel-absorbed and serving, mean, egotistical maniacs that will do anything, including force against others, to gain what they want. Secondly, our police forces have been formatted to generate money for the prison-industrial-complex, they let crimes slide or go on(unless you are not a criminal). This has created a sense of invulnerability among the citizens, one which causes people to scoff at the law and ultimately believe that they can do what they want and get away with it.

As stated above about the last couple of generations, amny people on here might be affended at the ages that I pointed out, so what. I worked in Krogers for nearly a year and watched grown men and women(customers of various ages) get mad and throw tantrum over little nit-picking stuff(their kids were more level headed than they were). It did not help that most of my co-workers, who were middle aged, were very self-serving even though they worked hard.

However, my generation, the millenials or generation Y, will probably prove to be the pinnacle of all that is stated in the article.
