This guy is a "survivalist".... |
|
I saw him at the post office, talking to the lady behind the counter. He said "I'm a survivalist, ya never know what's gonna happen, that's why I have a generator".
Well, the last time our power got turned off due to incompetence at the power company, we were talking to him, asking if he had a generator, and he said, "We've got three generators, but none of 'em work".....
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Boy is he well prepared!! :rofl:
He says he's working on a Ph.D. I wonder what in the hell in. He proceeded to tell my DH who has TWO degrees in math/engineering and physics that "Isaac Newton was WRONG". :wtf:
I'm sure he thinks Obama is gonna take his guns away from him. He is living in a former nursing home that was vacated. The local cops told me that they didn't pay their electric bill and were using cold water. They said they were gonna fix the place up as a "Christian youth home". Uh-huh. I think three people live there.
Aggghhhhhhh......

4. I like to keep extra food and water around. Not everyone who does that |
|
is a freeper paraniod. It is actually smart to be prepared for a disaster. Though I imagine your neighbor wasn't prepping for an earthquake?

yes being prepared is a good thing but this guy in particular was doing it in all the wrong ways, using broken generators and all. And goes to show how right wingers seldom do anything right.

6. I think he's a libertarian. |
|
That's what I would guess. I think they're some kind of weird fundy.

8. "Christian youth home" |
|
make sure that the police keep an eye on that place ... not that the kids might cause trouble ... that the kids might be in danger, if only for sexual assault ...

13. I think they're using it for a tax dodge. |
|
There are no kids staying there b/c they can't raise money to bring it up to the state inspection standards. And the community has objected. I have no idea what they do for money other than possibly odd jobs.
Oh, and this guy told my DH that he needed an "assistant for his experiments". Probably thinks he's another Tesla.

9. He's not even a survivalist... |

...or at least a really bad and sloppy one as makes no difference.
I read some of their materials back in their '80s heyday -- they were paranoid nutbars but you could still sift some good self-sufficiency ideas out of the cracked pot.
This guy's just all over the place, with no follow-through on anything.

11. if what you say is true then he's just a wannabe |
|
He fancies himself a survivalist because he's a squatter. He's just like Joe the Plumber. All talk, no skills.
