If you were one of the richest people on Earth???????????

[DalesCarpentry]

If you were one of the richest people on Earth would you buy a a thousand acres in the middle of no where? Then build an underground shelter that could support you and your family for 20 to 25 years with no outside help at all? If I was lucky enough to be able to afford such a thing my answer would be yes. It would be well stocked with weapons food and anything else I could think of that would make the rest of my and family's life comfortable till things cleared. Tell me about your little piece of the Earth that you and your family will try to survive if things come to the worst. Dale

[CannonKrazy]

Absolutely. And while I was at it I would buy as many one way tickets as I could afford on a cruise to some place else for all the folks that don't like guns, hunting, family values and also these fare fetched religions. Heck might as well give our newly elected officials a ticket too.

1. If you were one of the richest people on Earth would you buy a a thousand acres in the middle of no where?

No Sir, I would not.

2. Then build an underground shelter that could support you and your family for 20 to 25 years with no outside help at all?

No Sir, I would not.

I'd buy out Remington and give the entire company and all stock to Swampman.  

[DalesCarpentry]

I have to say I got a good laugh out of that. I am a huge Remington fan so you would also have to send me and my family some of their firearms and stock also. Dale

[weasel]

I'd just buy a ranch and ranch til it was all gone, probably take 4-5 yrs. But I am one of the richest people  on earth, have a good, stable job, healthy parents, and a beautiful, loving wife who takes my shoes off and rubs my feet every night.

You got it Dale. Any Remingtons you want first, then I'll turn it all over to Swampy.

You must still be a young one. Yea my wife will still rub my feet every now an again. Dale

i'd buy g.b.o. and bar you from making such ridiculous posts.   but then again, between you and jamaldog87, there is some good entertainment to be had for those who can stomach it.

With that much money why stop at a measly 1000 acres? Having a well stocked placed would be nice but having the means to produce more is better. I think a larger piece of property would be best. A place where family and friends could live and work together for their survival and be able to produce enough extra to help others.
I'm with weasel on this one, I am rich I have a good job it more than pays the bills I don't own for anything and I have plenty of land. Most of all I have a lot of loving family and friends. With the help of God we will make it through any hard times just fine.

[Foggy]

I'am the richest man in the world. I have a women that loves me dearly and I her. I got a roof over my head,  warmth,  food to eat. I Love Jesus He loves me.. and if God is with you who can be against you.

[powderman]

myronman. If ya don't like a thread, scroll past it. I figured you'd be chasing pirates by now. Nothing wrong with Dales question. POWDERMAN.

Myronman what is your real problem with me? This is the second or third time you have made pokes at me. I have no real problem with you so what is your deal. At least I don't live in a fantasy land and want to go hunt pirates. Come on now let it out what is your problem with me? Dale

[DalesCarpentry]

I see after I made my last post you hung on for about 5 minutes on this thread. I was really waiting to hear what you have against me. Looks like you run away. You are now the only person I will probably put on ignore. I thought about it last time but like you have said I like to hear all sides of a story. No more though. As far as I am concerned you do not exist. Bye loser. Dale

[myronman3]

yeah, i ran away.       the truth be told i was working on a computer that had been sitting in my garage for about 4 years, that had stopped working.  i was using some tricks i learned in a+ to try to get it working again, which i did; but it still runs pretty slow.

fair enough. 
 

Myronman what is your real problem with me? This is the second or third time you have made pokes at me. I have no real problem with you so what is your deal.

ridiculous posts.   yup, i posted about pirate hunting.   although partial pipe dream, it was inspired by current events and i thought it would evoke some interesting ideas and conversation.  and i think that is the only post of it's nature i have ever made, someone correct me if i am wrong.  you have gone sideways in the past, and i fully expect it to happen again.  and although it isnt your fault directly, i deal with way too many people of your mindset. they are  habitually are their own worst enemy and can not see it, and continually make the same mistakes over, and over, and over again.  so when i read your posts it reminds me of all the incompetent people that i unfortunately had to deal with day in and day out.   and even though i am just another member, sometimes goofy posts irritate me.  i wish there was a way to set gbo to ignore posts such as "if you could only have one...."; just seeing the titles of those posts makes me want to puke anymore.   powderman is right, a guy should just scroll by, but sometimes the title looks like it might have some meat to it,  but turns out to be tofu instead.  

 

At least I don't live in a fantasy land and want to go hunt pirates.

oh really?  then what is this thread about? 

[magooch]

No.

[BBF]

Tongue in cheek weasel. Did you import your wife from some other country??

Re: Being rich. Hmmm maybe Switzerland or the Cayman Islands. Somewhere the rich folks stash their money. I am too old to farm or live in a bunker.

Re Pirates: This is another politically correct situation that I can't understand.
You find them, good grief they got satellites that can read you car plates, you blow them out of the water with either surface or aircraft.

Send a bunch of SEALS into the anchorage where they hold the ships.

[mirage1988]

If I was one of the richest people on earth I'd buy the White House,
           -oh shoot, that's already been done.
I guess my second choice would have to be pirate hunting then-lol

[Spanky]

I'd probably buy a new pickup truck.
Maybe fix up the hunting camp a little bit too.
Stock up on reloading supplies some.

Nothing fancy.

Oh and I'd take care of my parents.
They would never want for anything again.



Spanky

[PartsMan]

I would give it all to Obama so he could redistribute it wisely.



No really I'd buy a huge ranch also. If you wanted to see me you would have to come there.
The first thing I would do though is offer all four of my parents (to long of a story for today) a large sum to retire.
 

[ms]

I would buy the state of Minnesota kick out all the people. 

[gypsyman]

Buy Budweiser back and give it to the employee's. Buy up Ford and GM,(never cared for Chyrsler,let them go under), pay all the WORKING employees, $20/hr and medical,no stock options,(let them learn how to invest their own money).And fire all upper managment and union officials, no severance pay,bonus's, not a damn thing, and let them go find real jobs.For me, new 25' Baha fishing cruiser for walleye fishing Lake Erie. Not a 1000 acre's, but several hundred in S.E. Ohio deer country. In fact, if one of those Mega Million lottery tickets I have in my wallet hits, a couple of my wish's will happen. The way I look at it, if a no name, inexperienced senator from Ill. can become president, I have a chance of hitting the big one.(177 million tomorrow night I believe)Won't hold my breath, but keep my fingers crossed. gypsyman

Yep, still young @ 49, and no BBF, she's not imported, but she's not normal either, she buys me Swaro binocs, 4 wheelers, guns, etc., and manages money, (got me out of debt) and makes more money than me. Really, really weird. I'm thinking about cloning her, are you guys in?

[Heather]

I would get as far away from the U.S. and all civilization as I possibly could.  I would stock up on supplies in many of the same ways Noah did. Two or more animals of each species that I found necessary to survival.  I would get close to a fresh water supply.  I would buy as many seeds as necessary to grow my own crops.  I would let Matt handle all the guns and ammo purchasing.  He probably knows more about what other stuff we would need to take on our survival adventure.  He has it in his mind that he can produce clean running water and electricity without relying on power and water companies, so he would make sure that was taken care of.  My family and I would live off the land in peace as the world crumbled around us.  I guess we might want to take a few extra girls with us considering have a lot of sons.  Who knows if SHTF really bad we might have to repopulate the earth...LOL.  Who knows Matt might get lucky since I'm not able to have anymore kids. 

Heather

[jimster]

To answer the original post...yes.  Of course my dear wife would not want to...but keep in mind I'm the richest man in the world, so I would buy her whatever she wanted, and she could fly in on a bush plane visit me all the time!  And if SHTF...she would have a place to go! 

Actually, the way things are going...she just might take me up on it, she is not too happy about what she sees either.

[clodbuster]

Dale  you need to think bigger.  If you bought a 1000 acre piece of land that was circular, the farthest you could get away from from your property line is 1100 yards.  Some one could easily pick you off with a 50 cal  Barrett rifle from outside your land.  think about it.

Weasel, you just made my day........Thanks, Mike
