Title: Ever wonder about preparations for situations WROL?
Post by: timsatx on September 11, 2011, 07:46:21 PM: WROL, Without Rule Of Law. Something that would happen in times of emergency and catastrophe. What if it was a situation like when the world had the Spanish Flu Pandemic in 1918 where between 50-100 million people died and that was the days before mass transportation? If you used the lower number of 50 million then that was still 3% of the population.

If you want to have a reason that shows you should stock up on water, food guns and ammo then go check out the flick Contagion. If that doesn't make you think then nothing will.

So, you like the movie?

Post by: timsatx on September 12, 2011, 07:04:21 AM: Yeah, I like it. Now mind you I am a blood and guts action sci-fi type person. I love those movies and don't often watch different types. I virtually never go to comedies, I wait to catch them on video. I opted to go check this one out over Warrior. If you want to see action then this isn't the movie for you. It is more of story of process. I know that there will be many folks that don't like it but it was #1 at the theaters this weekend.

I almost never go to the theater anymore. I didn't spend all that dough on my A/V stuff to go see a movie somewhere else.

I'm with you on the blood and guts sci-fi movie type.

Post by: timsatx on September 12, 2011, 10:27:08 AM: I hear you on the A/V stuff. I only have a very small one and a room not even close to being right for it. Even if I did though, for me there is nothing like going to the movies and watching it on that huge screen. Plus my wife would never let me play it as loud as I would like ;-)
