Reference the Paul Davis "Debunker" thread below. Sorry, folks, I refuse to get into a p***ing contest with any troll or polly about Y2K. He (and they) are equivalent to a bystander watching Humpty Dumpty teetering on the edge of the wall:

Polly #1: (as Humpty teeters) "He won't fall, he won't fall;

Polly #2: (as he falls) "He's not falling, he's not falling..."

Polly #3: (as he splats) "He didn't fall, he didn't fall..."

Paully: (poking the mess with his foot): "We must determine if this was actually ever Humpty Dumpty in the first place."

Gang, don't waste your time with these people. We have too little time to tell too many people to get the h*** out of the way before Humpty Dumpty lands on them.

I have lost interest in almost all my favorite discussion boards. I am looking for answers to my doubts, and trying to find the 'experts' opinions. I feel that "something wicked this way comes" and it is coming right at me. I feel that I have done all I can do to get ready for y2k. And I know that it is not enough. Or is it too much? I read the pro and con on this board and each one taken by itself has a lot of true points. I keep thinking about the Jews, and how only a few believed the impossible and 'bugged out'. I had taken the middle ground because I am too comfortable to take the doom and gloom side and too wary to take the 'bump in the road' side. I have reached the conculsion that y2k will cause a great depression, loss of lives, and war. I want to be wrong and have a good laugh about all this next year, but in my heart, I know I will not be laughing.

Hey SP: Suckers are born every minute. How does that change the facts vis-a-vis Y2k? I don't recall ever seeing a post from you which refuted facts put forth in this forum. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Super Polly...

Tsk, tsk what language! I did hit a nerve, didn't I?!

-- Sandmann (Sandmann@alasbab.com), June 17, 1999.

I don't think you hit a nerve with super. That post didn't contain any bad language. Yours started with a pissing contest. But let me continue on the same vein. So Sandmann, you don't want to hear anything about the truth, you just want to keep on preparing. Go right ahead but beware, this blind-eye, deaf-ear, thinking on your part just reinforces a polly's view that the doomers have no reasoning, no logic.

Yes I am.

Hey, Supertroll, why don't you take a nice swim in all that sewage that was dumped during a Y2K test via a computer error? Then come back and tell us how Y2K is no biggee. You moron.

A quote by Winston Churchill on the issue: "The annoying thing about dealing with fools is, that upon occasion they are actually quite correct."

Wonder when the polly community wiff realize this about those the consider "foolish doomers"?

Carol,

Yes, you're right about all the conflicting opinions. However, this is a dedicated preparation site and the Polly crowd doesn't like that. Most importantly for you, keep your mind on the Jews in Nazi Germany analogy. That's what were talking about here. The true Yourdonites believe there is a holocaust coming at us, and the rest of the social system fights with us about that prediction. Sadly, while there were some Jews who saved themselves by making drastic life changes and decisions, most did not. I have no doubt that the early ones who said it looked like bad things were coming were mocked by the rest. Same as here. Don't let that cloud your vision.

I've been there, along with most other GIs here. It comes and goes. Just keep preparing to a degree that you're comfortable with. Remember, you can't be prepared for everything. Life is full of surprises and uncertainties. Even though I believe Y2K will probably be a major, major event...I try to keep it in perspective. We're all on this earth for a limited time and you do whatever it is you think you were sent here to do. Relax, enjoy the ride and see where it takes us.
