I've said it once, and I'll say it again... Doomers suck.

We fly through space on an unstable rock with a core of molten iron, on a planet many billions of years old, covering billions and billions of miles of space in our lifetimes. Every once in a while we have earthquakes, natural and unnatural catastrophes.

And every once in a while the computers don't work 100% and you little kids bitch and moan and create BB's to whine about your problems with other "like minded individuals".

And while you pathetic dommbrooders EXPECT life always to be peaches and cream, something realistic happens in our lives and you look to find someone to BLAME.

Oh lordy, "they" aren't working hard enough to make my life easier. "They" don't respond fast enough when there is a hurricane. Oh dear me, "they" might not be able to fix everything on time and I might have to face life realistically for once. "They" didn't build my car strong enough. "They" didn't make buidlings strong enough to withstand earthquakes good enough. "They" didn't make the computers quite easy enough for me to work on.

While you sit around moaning and complaining, taking down notes, and trying to build a conspiracy case against everyone who isn't you, the rest of the world is moving forward and making amazing advancements every day. You know, actually being productive!!.

Life is what you make it, and apparently, life you for you doombrooding zombies is always going to be half empty, instead of half full. Always partly cloudy skies, instead of partly sunny. Always THE Y2K PROBLEM, instead of all the great technology that does work.

Y2K Experts Poll Exposes Incompletion and Complacency CIO Magazine, ISACA, & Dr. Ed Yardeni's Y2K Center Poll NEW YORK, Sept. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- The results from the second Y2K Experts Poll conducted by IDG's CIO magazine, ISACA and Dr. Ed Yardeni's Y2K Center exposes corporate ill-preparedness, complacency and misplaced vendor trust. Eighty-one percent of large, global companies polled are not Y2K ready at this time. In addition, 43% now predict project completion dates will move from the third to the fourth quarter of 1999, a significant increase of 27% since the first poll in June. In spite of the fact that 81% admit their organizations are not ready for the date rollover today, when asked about their overall assessment of Y2K compared to three months ago, 91% were still optimistic.

According to Ed Yardeni, noted economic forecaster and Y2K expert, ``I am puzzled that information technology professionals are so optimistic about the impact of Y2K on their organizations. Many of them are not ready yet. They are clearly expecting a victorious outcome, which may be raising complacency levels so high that people will not prepare for any possible malfunctions and failures.''

Hey dommersucker:

Why don't you take your own advice and get a life? Is your inferiority complex so large that you have to surf the net to find other people to put down? Weren't you the nazi that wants people who store extra food to be put in jail? Seems like there was a thread about you a month or two ago about how you think people who store extra food are terrorists. Are you such a simplistic twit that you think that everyone who stores a little food is a bomb-planting terrorist?

What dark agenda are you following, doomersuck, or should I say...Herr Hitler?

Hey, doomers@suck...

I'm have a rotten day too. I can't stand *anyone* at this particular moment (including myself). But do you see me amusing myself by beating up on thinking people?

If everything in the world today is so damn great, why don't you go outside and do a dance-of-freaking-joy?

Because it's not. And you know it.

-- mar (derigueur2@aol.com), October 01, 1999.

Actually, I just went out and got a new haircut... and a new suit. I feel great, even though out entire world might get snuffed out by an intersteller meteor any day. You see, I love life even with all it's (y2k) imperfections, and I know I'll survive becuase I got the tools and I got the talent. Maybe I'll think up a dance-of-joy too. I'm not back posting here again, just wanted to check in quick and piss off you fear-mongerers because obviously it's easy and fun, and it's totally politically incorrect. So nah-nah-nah btttthhhhhhh!

That is all.

Doomers Suck,

You make the observation that a lot of people on one hand feel that gov't does too much and that we depend too much on gov't services, yet on the other hand scream that the gov't doesn't do enough, when a crisis hits. Yes, I see what you are talking about. Just as there are few aetheists in foxholes, there seems to be few Libertarians in the middle of a hurricane or earthquake.

But what does that have to do with bad computer code? You're picking at peripheral OT topics and presenting that as if it destroys the central idea of sloppily/hastily written code leading to some real disasters.

This is an example of #17, by the way, of the 25 Rules of Disinformation, in case anyone is keeping track.

Your writings are abosolute idiocy, DS. You write [we] might have to face life realistically for once. But, isn't preparing to take care of oneself (food, water, 1st aid, firearems) precisely the kind of self-reliance you are implicitly advocating ? You need a logic fix.

Hey Doomers suck,

I was once a doomer myself. I got over it. I have been following this forum for two years. A few months ago I woke up to the fact that shit happens and life goes on.

Every time someone disagrees with this bunch, they scream DELETE. They have even posted my ISP server. [snicker] I called some guy's wife a moron. It's OK if they use every cuss word in the book but as soon as a non-doomer does they cry foul. Whimper, Whine, WAAAAA!!!

hey doormers@suck

a glass is never half empty nor is ever half full. that glass is twice as big as it needs to be! spare me your platitudes.

if you have done any preps for y2k you are a hippocrite (sp?)

you spend time on these boards --- so why do you have time for this if you have such "a wonderful life" seems to me you're just one of those people who always has to be right. i've found that "people who insist they're right" are usually wrong. (you may look in a mirror, now)

and getting some kind of sick kick out of building yourself up, while tearing the "doomers" down, is really not something a "healthy, happy, well adjusted" person (with a new suit and haircut!) would do...now is it???

Hey sickofthis:

If you are what your name implies, then leave. Nobody is asking you to stay. I haven't seen you post one single thing that matters. Are you capable of contributing anything to this forum? Or are you such an embittered, negative, friendless person that you have nothing better to do than to 'get your jollies' by coming to a forum you hate and putting other people down?
