Many Dutch prepare for 2012 apocalypse www.upi.com/Odd_News/2008/06/23/Many_Dutch_prepare_for_2012_apocalypse/UPI-40461214263554/ Published: June 23, 2008 at 7:25 PM AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, June 23 (UPI) -- Thousands of people in the Netherlands say they expect the world to end in 2012, and many say they are taking precautions to prepare for the apocalypse. The Dutch-language de Volkskrant newspaper said it spoke to thousands of believers in the impending end of civilization, and while theories on the supposed catastrophe varied, most tied the 2012 date to the end of the Mayan calendar, Radio Netherlands reported Monday. De Volkskrant said many of those interviewed are stocking up on emergency supplies, including life rafts and other equipment. Some who spoke to the newspaper were optimistic about the end of civilization. "You know, maybe it's really not that bad that the Netherlands will be destroyed," Petra Faile said. "I don't like it here anymore. Take immigration, for example. They keep letting people in. And then we have to build more houses, which makes the Netherlands even heavier. The country will sink even lower, which will make the flooding worse." |
 ETA: On a more serious note, where am I going to get aged gouda once the Netherlands sink? |
Is she a dip or what?! HH |

Ok forgive me for being a SHTF Survialist noob, but lets just say for the sake of poops and grins, the world does end in 2012. How the royal fuck do you "prepare" for the end of the world? What is the value of large amounts of stored ammo, food etc. if the earth goes mega-Glock and explodes into a billion tiny pebbles? |
whats the best round for tiny pebbles? I say 9mm but others have told me .45 has more pebble-stopping power. |
But the world wouldn't end in January of 2012. Better change your pickup line...

Could he mean the weight of "immigration"......

When I was a little kid my family visited a wooden shoe maker in the netherlands. I don't remember the the factory or the shop, but I DO remember some locals convincing a japanese tourist that his newly-purchased wooden shoes would allow him to walk on water in the nearby canal.

I had somebody say they feel the world will end in 2012 because of the Mayan Calendar they did not like my reply..... Her: "The world is going to end in 2012 the mayan calendar ends then!" Me: "Or even more realistic, they intended to get out their chisels and make a new calendar then!!"  Hey my current paper caledar ends Dec. 31, 2008, does this mean the woprld will end? |
This could be worse than Y2K.
