Do we ban knives now? :scratch:

[seraphim79]

that is just aweful and another example of how lost the youth of today are, and not just here in the USA but around the world. Honestly how bad does it have to get before people will start to react. And I am not talking about baning knives, I'm talking about people really teaching the youth about Christ and living as examples to others. I think there is so much contradiction in the world that young people are living in an essentially Schizo society. Of course their gonna lose it, when most people around them say one thing and then do another!

Japan is such a unique society to begin with. They are so unforgiving in their culture which causes severe depression and such emotionally.

But as for how bad things will get, they will get much worse before its all over. The bible tells us that people will not turn to God any longer as we get closer to the end times. There will be no great revival. It will be just as the it was in Noah's time. There was only one family God saw favor with on the entire planet. Just one. Everyone else perished.

I agree with you both.I dont know how many take it as well as they do.

If fuel prices hit 6-8 bucks a gallon here you will see troubled times as this country hasn`t seen for a long time. :nod:

[CTZonEdit]

Big big problems if that happens to gas prices. And no one is doing thing one about it. Unlike European countries with established mass transits, the USA is decades if not centuries behind.

Why do we not have a high speed coast to coast/border to border rail system yet?
Why is our airline system a complete joke compared to Eastern countries?

We need to be able to drive affordably to survive here. Our entire economy depends on it.

Get ready because there`s hard time a coming :nod:
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. ;)

Yes God said it would be just like it was in the days of Noah. And gas in Germany and other places are already $9-$11 a gallon. Whats was that, I think Venezuela, was 12 cents a gallon?

So many are thinking they are doing enough to seek Jesus and that is the plain old believing and thats it. But they don't know Him and so in the end have never seeked him. So many are being deceived into this . How can someone expect to be quizzed on math and know math without ever opening the book and learning? How can they expect to pass? They wouldn't even be able to add one and one together. Why do they get so offended when you tell them to read the bible themselves, same with RCC for example?

agreed.

and CTZ is right, we in the US the way we are set up just wont take that price.

so many drive crazy miles back and forth to work daily.

we are going to collapse no getting around it.

Simply re-strucure driving habits...

You can only restructure so far.

Truckers are going out of business here and in Europe. They are having protests and even some rioting over it in Europe.

I understand you cannot give up on life. But please, no platitudes of just drive less.

[kay-gee]

Truckers I understand. I mean just learn to kill 2 or 3 or 4 birds with the same stone. There has been a lot of pointless driving on the part of the general public, you gotta admit. It is a case of become gas conscious. That's all!

all the best...

The point driving has been gone for a long time now. It is nailing commutes to work and such. People are having to quite low paying jobs because gas cost is making it pointless.

I came from the Mid West and when you live on farms in the country a drive to shop can be 30 miles. Tractors run of gas or diesel and diesel is more expensive than gas.

A bit more complicated than I believe you are seeing.

[kay-gee]

Lets suppose the town is 30 miles away and (I can reate, believe me), and you need groceries fine, but dont go back in the afternoon for the hardware or to get the mail. Sounds silly but I know people who have operated that way. Time to get a grip. Would you not agree.

Not many anymore, KG. Most have consolidated.

But get home and break an equipment part, you are going to drive back.

Really, people have already massively backed off. They are also backing off on food quality they buy and a lot of other things.

[a.baker]

I kid you not I quit my job about a week ago because after I subtracted the gas, I was only bringing home $50 for a week at 30 hrs. a week worth of work. Seemed pointless to me.

So many foreclosures and people looking for jobs and nothing being offered or rare if anything is. I just drove yesterday 60 miles there and 60 miles back and sat in the car waiting for my husband to get out of work for 3 1/2 hours with my daughter to put in an application to a job that might offer me something in my town that will only be $8 an hour and only 10 hours a week. But I am so desperate to have something in my town, just a chance that I spent a lot of time and gas money trying. I jumped at any opportunity. Thats where the phrase desperate times call for desperate measures comes into play. A little more easy than what I see in store for the future of the next 5 years if things keep heading in the same direction.

Not kidding but big stores are starting to have empty shelves and smaller areas of sections.
