I'm so sick of the "real world"

[bommel]

Wow. If you didn't say you were German, I never would have known. Your grammer is spot on.

And yeah, your post sums up my pov perfectly. I knew all this pre Avatar, but watching Avatar hit a nerve.

Irayo ma tsmukan.
Yeah, it's somehow ironical that the commercially most successful movie does this.

[Eywayä lì'u]

yeah, considering it's certainly not carbon neutral

I'm sick of the corruption that I see everyday...  People these days do not know how to slow down and look at the big picture... They are too busy being spoon fed by their TVs, media, and Bosses.    I just take it day, by day. Wondering how I will fair when the SHTF, or when anarchy sets in.       Well, I tell you what, I'm going to the tribe when that happens. Where PEOPLE CARE FOR ONE ANOTHER! 

[bommel]

Like I said, we'll see what future brings. The idea of escaping all this insanity is quite tempting.

[Kyle Kepone]

@txur: Anarchy just means organization lacking government, it doesn't mean chaos... but I definitely see your point and agree.

[Na’ringHufwe]

I never would have thought that a movie such as Avatar, would have such an impact at how I view life, and others around me.
I work for a living, I've been to college, and there is nothing special in life going to work, coming home, sleeping, and starting over.

Many of you suffer from this same problem as I do. Be it work, or school.
I have for several years, before the movies release, been a woodsman.
I trained in the use of bows, trained in scouting and like they said in Avatar "Reading the forest."

These things are very real, and can change you. It's what has kept me sane for the past decade.
I care not for politics, government and modern things.

Its not illegal to carry a bow and arrows with you, in or out of the city limits.
So there is no reason why you cant start training.
It would also be benificial to learn to make your own bow and arrows from the forest around you.

When the world ends, and it will someday, those who live in cities will parish.
Most people now days dont know how to hunt for survival.

And when the world comes crashing down, I will seek all the Na'vi close to me.
Then.....the tribe would be truly real.

I could not have said this better myself. Though I've no experience in hunting (but archery/shooting) or surviving in the forest ^^

just hope society fizzles out rather than goes out with a bang...

[Kyle Kepone]

cough **zombie apocalypse** cough

[Dreamlight]

Braaaaains!

[bommel]

cough **zombie apocalypse** cough

I'm prepared. A 12g down in my cellar, lots of ammunition.

Nah, not yet. Actually close combat must be sufficient o0

[guest2859]

Zombies eat brains. Zombies have to have brains to move. So zombies have brains.

It goes around, then they go into autogenicide.

[Kyle Kepone]

Stop ruining the dream!

[bommel]

Yeah, zombie apocalypse isn't a realistic scenario at all. It's from movies as the dreams of better worlds are.

[Na’ringHufwe]

What most dont realize, is that the Na'vi way can be pursued in our time.
Everything in the movie can be done here on Earth.
Although our forests normally arent as large.

Your dream, whatever it may be, can come true.
Although it wont be exactly the same here, as it is in the movie (sucks to be us).

Rather than loath our "real world" love it instead.
You can choose to ignore the people with poluted minds and dreams.
We will be here on Earth for some time, might as well make the best of what we have.
Adopt the Na'vi way into your life style, others will follow.

Wise words, ma tsmukan.
Perhaps I'm really a bit to pessimistic

[Txur Niftxavang]

Well, if Zombies attack. I'm prepared.
My handgun- M1911A1.45Auto
My Bow- Compound
My Rifle- Marlin 925N .22Mag     
I'm sufficient in CQC, with any knife/handgun, or hand to hand.
I prefer a knife tho.   K-Bar

Well, here in Germany there is a huge bureaucratic process involved in getting a gun. You can't go to some shop you need a licence and a huge safe, must pass some psychologic tests if your younger than 25, ... So, I've got a crowbar down my basement. What worked in Half-Life can't be wrong in real life

[Niwantaw]

I have a plastic flamethrower and a plastic tank!

I'm safe from the zombies...
