Boy Scout motto is "Be prepared."

They should prob. lay off the pot, amirit?

Do you struggle with taking this literally when they're not meant that way?

edit - I don't mean that as an insult or anything it's a serious question. A lot of my posts you seem to take too literally. Might be a UK thing.

hahaha

You realise that stockpiling supplies and learning how to filter water is as paranoid as keeping a gun "just in case", right? If I said I wanted a gun for protection, would you say I should stop smoking weed?

I'd tell you to make sure you've hidden your weed well because owning a gun will most likely get the police involved.

Americans are over paranoid creatures, their short terms history facilitates that. If you want to buy loads of water, own a gun etc I'm all for that being ok. I'm not trying to stop you just point out you shouldn't worry yourself too much about these things because they're unrealistic in the short term.
