joblot "Does anyone actually argue with those PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER.? I never agree with thier comments, but I don't exactly stand and argue the preparedness case.
Whether I'm scared of been ridiculed, or not having clarified my own reasons Im not sure. I do get the impression though, that your average Joe either isn't interested or couldn't care less.
im not worried about being ridiculed, let them laugh while i ride out the emergency better off.
my personal choice and advice to everyone here especially those who live in very nosey cities like NY is : remember to keep a low profile while preparing.
if a friend or family brings it up and seems to be genuinely interested in preparing then take them under your wing and help them learn.
but like religion or politics i wouldnt bring preparedness up in any conversation.
at best they laugh at you or brush it off and not take you seriously.
unfortunately the PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER. may now view you as suspicious and dangerous "one of those hoarding survival or gun nuts" they read about.
at the very worst they will know you have what they need in case of emergency and seek to take it from you.
just my 2 cents of course.
