Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

That's pretty....urm.....WOW. That's crazy.

So....we need to have nearly 3 out of 4 people die for us to be self sufficient?

Shotgun, I get to be the 1 that survives!!!
WOO! I called it first. No way I'm dying haha.

It is simply because there are so many of us on this small island.

Just look at a map. 60M of us here. In the US 500M and we fit in one of the smaller states. Same with Canada and so on.

It just means we are reliant on trade and being fed by other areas. Not a big issue if society is OK. More if it isn't.

US pop us actually nearer 330 million, and the UK size is roughly the same as Kansas population 2.8 million people.
Kansas 83,000 square miles 2.4 million people
UK 92,000 square miles 62 million people

Now you see why I like Kansas so much.

I see why now. Because you've got a little dog and some red shoes? Or have I missed the point again?

well yes in essence! if some large event happened which stopped us getting in supplies from overseas- no oil maybe?- then we would only be able to produce enough food for 27% of the population, anybody old enough to remember rationing? because thats what would happen!

Your aving a larf....... B.P. in this day and age they'd be food warehouse thefts on a grand scale, never mind the small blackmarket during the war when people mainly still had manors and queued for they're food. Chavs dont get up till after 3 in the afternoon all the food would be gone from the shops leaving them only one option... pinch yours.
This is where entitement mentality comes in " I need to eat and YOU need to provide it for me"
If preppers are the 10%, 90 % of the population fall into this "give it me because I deserve it and you dont" group
" I want money and I'll steal your stuff to get it"
" i dont want to grow food so I'll wait till you've grown yours then steal it"
Then you have the similar thing the government did in the war "apropriating" food supplies for the war effort, only now it'd be for the needy chavs who cant manage. Thats where the grey prepper comes in and secret gardens as allotments would be stripped in days also without a thought to replanting.

Theres more white tailed deer than people in KS, not to mention a few million cows, billions of acres of wheat, room to move, small natural gas deposits, a huge salt mine.
