I see an economic diasater coming...

[WilbyInebriated]

(WilbyInebriated indicates that gold can be eaten(Reply #915, this thread), but would he manage to consume an ounce of flour gold for several months?  Will his liver and kidneys survive?  I don't think so!  I really hope if he can afford that much specially manufactured gold; and that he depends on it for food, a gun and ammo for self protection, medicine, animal traps and other necessities when the economy falls apart.  The world can do without him when he poisons himself.)

hey big minok, don't go putting words into my mouth... i made no claims about livers or kidneys nor consuming just gold for months... obviously gold has little to no nutritional value, but that isn't what you said is it? you said and i quote, "you can't eat gold" which was and still is patently incorrect. maybe what you meant to say was 'you can't eat gold alone and live for long.'

as an aside, i can provide for myself if the economy falls apart. nature provides every medicine i could need, as well as shelter, materials for tools and sustenance. i'll survive, and thrive, long after your hoard of food is gone...

When gasoline got to $4.00 a gallon last time people changed their driving habits.You can make one gallon of vodka(ethanol) from 15 lbs of potatoes.So grow potatoes to make alcohol.Put alcohol in your cars to burn as fuel.One spud cut into four pieces will give you 6 to 8 spuds per plant.I guess I will be planting potatoes too!triffid

I know that, schmuck.  I sarcastically suggested that you do.

    Actually, I'm really and pointedly telling you:  We aren't communicating clearly unless you enjoy trying to be obnoxious---to me and others.

...obviously gold has little to no nutritional value, but that isn't what you said is it? you said and i quote, "you can't eat gold"...

More precisely, and sarcastically, please split hairs in implied meaning; you're an expert!  And, "No", I didn't mean exactly that gold was good and healthy to consume orally.  I had HAZMAT experience in the USAF, so I know what heavy metals can do to the body.  I just didn't point that out until now.
    YOU do understand THAT don't you?

... which was and still is patently incorrect. maybe what you meant to say was 'you can't eat gold alone and live for long.' ...

Okay, fine, that's what I meant.  I don't go out of my way to point out personality faults to others all the time unless someone like you gives me a reason, especially when they usually don't want free advice.  I don't need it from you.  Is that plain enough for you?  You understand that?

All right, then, as an aside, WILD game animals may be all but extinct in heavily populated areas, with the exception of trash animals like coyotes, blackbirds, starlings and pigeons.  Rabits can exist in Oklahoma, but cottontails need to be able to outrun a dog.  Fortunately for them, greyhounds aren't really common, unless they came from a racetrack as old rejects.  Some small, common animals like opossum, skunk, robins, etc. are edible, but I'll let YOU, Wilby..., catch one or shoot one and eat it.   Raw, with ketchup, if you like! 
"Yum-O!"

Stay away from starving gangs, unless you have a reliable gun and a lot of ammo.


    In not getting angry at you any more; Ill just make fun of you like you try and be a stupid prick to me and others, which is one strong personality trait of yours, IMO.  The dominant one, IMHO.

    Can anyone try and backlash(verb in this context) an insult against Wilby...? the same way he did to them? 
    I'm starting to have fun, even if I'm off topic and NOT! specifically addressing Wilby... in my original posts to others.  More than a few may think he's a smartass.

Opinions are welcome.  I'll continue on-topic when I have more time.

AFTERTHOUGHT:
    I realize I was on-topic about the animals.  Utilize them in the wild if you can catch them.  City rats are fairly polluted, though.

first, gold cannot be broken down by the stomach, you need aqua regia to dissolve gold... your hazmat experience in the usaf was obviously all for naught.
second, the rest of your response is nothing but gross hyperbole and ad hominem.
third, i don't live in a heavily populated area...
fourth, i didn't insult you as you are recommending to others to do to me... i simply corrected your error.

as an aside, i recall you bloviating the same mantra you just spewed about libya in regards to greece and other countries you previously mentioned. strange... the global economy didn't collapse back then.

...first, gold cannot be broken down by the stomach, you need aqua regia to dissolve gold...

Big deal.  I learned that in school.  I've known what gold can do to the body since I was a very young teenager.

I perceive you extend the amount of information I give for a given post and then insinuate I'm lacking in basic knowledge.  If I can obviously see this to my personal satisfaction, so can others. I hope, anyway.  I posit to others, for their consideration, that you exhibit a superiority complex.  AISI.

...your hazmat experience in the usaf was obviously all for naught. ...

It served me well in the USAF.  You imply you know more about what I did in the Air Force than I do?  You weren't there.  "Obviously", huh?  Sure.  Like you know all about it.

I gained most of my knowledge from reading texts.  I didn't work with gold in my Air Force job specialty.  Didn't need to. Something wrong with that?

...second, the rest of your response is nothing but gross hyperbole and ad hominem. ...

Okay, those words aren't normally part of my vocabularity, so I looked them on the 'Web.

Strong exaggeration and serious insults?  To you?  I'm being facetiousand sarcastic:  Please stay the same Wilby we know and love.  People know what you told them on other posts; they probably won't forget, either.  Your attitude towards some others on the boards has been similar to the way you write to me.  I've read some of the posts.  And you wonder why I'm berating you?

I 'm just trying to explain myself as to what I mean.  I'll leave it to the Members to decide for themselves as to what I say means anything to them.

Cherokee proverb:
"Give others what they give you."

...third, i don't live in a heavily populated area...

I still don't know where you live.  It doesn't matter.  No place is safe if it's populated and fairly often uncomfortable if it's not populated.

...fourth, i didn't insult you as you are recommending to others to do to me... i simply corrected your error. ...

There are small common animals that no one eats---yet.  Mice, for instance.  It may come to that in the future.

On topic:  Try and be creative in your diet if you're starving in the future.  Crickets and worms that have been washed may be delicious if you're dying without anything.

Oh, you did call me a "big minok".   I give up on the definition.  It might mean someone whose scatterbrained or confused.  That's all I could find on the 'Web. 

..."communicating badly and then acting smug when misunderstood is not cleverness" -randall munroe ...

My first thought was to apply that you.

...as an aside, i recall you bloviating the same mantra you just spewed about libya in regards to greece and other countries you previously mentioned. ...

I admit I'm seldom at a loss for words.  But I won't apologize for it, either.

strange... the global economy didn't collapse back then.

Out of time on this computer.  Look at the Soviet Empire, Third Reich, the Hun Empire.  They all fail sooner or later.  All of them.  This one will, too.   Don't believe me if you don't want to.  I said I don't care what you think.
