Even if there is a miniscule chance of survival, it's better than just accepting defeat. I love that outlook on life. You sir have inspired me | ||

How do you imagine would the world and especially people's behaviour change if we really knew there's gonna be for example unavoidable collision with a huge asteroid (just an example, could be anything else, so don't nitpick please) a year from now (+-week)? Would everyone just quit their job and there would be nothing but chaos? Would people try to live their everyday's life till the end? if you know any books/movies about this topic, please post it here, I'd gladly read/watch it  Oryx & Crake by Margaret Atwood. It's a great post-apocalyptic book that gives us an insight to what technology can do to the human race (no skynet type stuff). It's a great read. If you liked that one, then also read Year of the Flood by her as well. Year of the Flood is basically Oryx and Crake, but told through other characters that lived in the poorer side of societty. I found both of these books just awesome. I can't recommend them enough. As for the question at hand. I would definitely stop working and just have fun with family, friends and everyone I knew. This is assuming that I can't do shit about whats happening. If an asteroid is about to hit the earth, then there isn't much that I can do about it. | ||

I definitely wouldn't be sitting around doing nothing though, as I think most people wouldn't go numb but crazy. | ||

I bet you anything that most people would think about a lot of stuff before having the idea of raping someone when they know that they are about to die. Maybe I'm over optimistic. | ||

Some will band together and form militias but the families and people who are so used to the current system will have little chance to survive. You will need guns and lots of them. For me, what would I do? I'd get some friends and family and wait until the shit hit the fan. Wait until society comes unglued. We'd then strip our cars down and mod them out for combat. I'd require everyone in our group to wear football shoulder pads and carry guns or mini crossbows that attach to your wrist. We would then cruise the highways looking for gas while terrorizing anyone we see. I would be the leader and my clan would call me "Lord Humungus"....I would also wear a steel hockey mask too. I would become a road warrior similar in looks to Mel Gibson and along with my dog would be a mercenary that would help the groups that were plagued by these road bandits who were out to steal gas; perhaps, people would call me a noble road warrior. Later in life, I would go fight in these things called thunder domes and find cute little Australian kids lost in the desert who would mistake me for a pilot. | ||

After that I would probably be too weak to make it to the countryside for food, so I would starve to death. I would probably reconsider the second part when it came to it. | ||

DON'T WANNA CLOSE MY EYES + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/lmmB5.png) Well, since life is now for sure finite for everyone with a distinct ending point, any instance where people could benefit from breaking cooperation will happen instantly, if people are rational. Personally, I would drink, dance, and play SC2. | ||
