Why the Sociological/Psychological need for doomsday or apocalyptic thinking?

History is littered by unfulfilled predictions of the end of days from both religous (Revelations) and secular (Thomas Malthus) sources. Anyone can give me a good short explanation of this, with references if possible. (Not for homework, but for an ongoing debate with some friends)

Best second gun? Shotgun or .22 lr?

I’ve been thinking of putting together a ‘survivalist’ kit lately. Not paranoid, but why not?

Along with learning some essentials (reading a book), keeping some supplies in the house, I was thinking about guns.

I DO have my 9mm for home protection, but I was thinking of getting either a shotgun or .22 lr to stow away just in case.

So my question is to people that know more than myself.

If you were to choose between the two, what would you have besides the home protection hand gun?

A shotgun or a .22?

In particular, I was looking at either a Remington 870 or the Ruger 1022. I’m DEF on a budget.

Opinions?
I realize it’s both are the correct answer.

I was thinking if you had ONE to stick in the back of the closet, more for a survivalist scenario than an urban one. I have the CZ75 for home protection.

I was just looking to putting together a good emergency kit.

How can I freeze-dry or otherwise preserve my own food?

I’m taking some people with a very fixed diet to another country for two weeks. We need to be able to take our own food with us. How can we do this? I was thinking of finding a vacuum pump and some liquid nitrogen to set up my own freeze-drying system. Any suggestions?

High School SHSAT Questions?

So, I only have one more day of school left of 7th grade and since im going to high school soon… im thinking of going to Brooklyn Tech. I have confidence in myself that i can pass the test. I know that Stuy is better but definitely harder… Should I try that one out too?

I hadn’t told anyone about me really wanting to go to Brooklyn Tech. Just couple of my friends? My school is having a test prep for specialized high school test thing this summer.. To help you prepare for the test but i can’t go since im going to be going on a vacation this summer… D: !! I know.. totally sucks. I hadnt went to any prep courses for the test and i dont even think i could?
Schedule too tight right now.

Im certainly checking out the Barrons book in the library for it? Im a huge disaster right now.. Im nevous and i want to pass the test for Brooklyn Tech but have no idea how to get in, what preparations should i make?

Thanks :]

.. Also, if i start school in september, when do you usually take the test?
