I gotta be honest, three of those questions are maybe ill-informed, but hardly a sign of stupidity.

When dealing with the general public, ill-informed and stupidity seem to blend into the same thing.

Seemed like much ado about nothing. Basically, a bunch of 14-year old caliber mischief done in an effort to terrorize.

And...not to be overly cynical...but I wouldn't be terribly surprised if has several "copy cats" over the next 5 years...and then starts to get more popular with each passing year.   Starting out as absolutely nothing, but then growing every year as people try to "outdo" the year before.   Almost imperceivable at first...just maybe growing by one or two extra related crimes each time...

Fuck that noise. I hope it materializes, but only the scum that are actually participating are the ones killing each other and everyone else is bolted down inside. Let mother nature and good 'ole Darwinism do their jobs and allow the pests take each other out. Shit like this really makes my blood start to boil...with a newborn in the house now, my two sisters being here quite regularly...I truly feel sorry for anyone that tries to break into my home. Chances are I'LL be the one going to prison...I'd resurrect the use of the gallows pole, hang that cancerous plebeian in the front yard and make a statue out of his corpse with a sign "To Purgers/Cumbuckets/Cuntsatchels: Tread lightly." *BEATS CHEST AND GRABS BALLS, SPITS IN YOUR FACE AND FARTS IN YOUR GENERAL DIRECTION, FORNICATES WITH A LARGE-BREASTED WOMAN AND THEN MAKES HER PAY FOR DINNER...P.S. DINNER WAS MY PENIS. THE BILL WAS $15".

Granted, there's no way anything like this would happen around my area. Everyone around here is too numbed up on prescription meds and/or passed out drunk to do anything that requires any kind of physical effort or coordination.  :lol But it still makes my skin crawl that humanity is so god damn fucking stupid that they'd actually even ATTEMPT to make this happen. Purge? I'll purge the purgers and then purge my butt soup all over you purging purgerous purgers. SAY PURGER AGAIN.

Even so, I gotta say, just reading that kind of put me in feral mode. I abhor that kind of nonchalance in the face of something potentially disastrous ...some dumbfuck says/does one thing and then it turns into a god damn atom bomb. Like that one mofo who shot first.  :millahhhh

Ed: I wonder, does anyone know if the high school twit that started this was an 'adult'? It says high school so he's at least of age where unless you are an absolute invalid, there's no way you can post something like that, something basically instigating it and then say 'Oh man, I TOATS didn't expect that. Like, WHOA!". Oh and props to that news article making it sound like it was a bad thing that they 'failed'. "FAILED"? Really?  :lol I mean, I suppose if they're supporters of the idea, then it's a good article. But it was pretty horrifically written for just a news article. DAT CHOICE OF WORDS.

Might be time to adjust your movie collection and stop watching "prepper" movies, jammin :lol

Not sure how you imagine the authorities to stand idly by when there's preannounced looting going on.

Oh, I don't think they sit on their butt eating donuts.   But I do think that *if* it were to become popular, there wouldn't be enough law enforcement to handle all the calls.

I mean, stupid things *do* get popular.   Recently, there has been a group of kids (and then...there were the copy cats to follow) that walk into a group of black people, insult them, and get the crap beat out of them.   Only to turn around and do the exact same thing.   All while a friend films it.    Now, are they just trying to get video of a group of black guys beating a white kid?   I have no idea.   Maybe it's some stupid initiation rite, or other form of hazing.   I'm just saying that stupid things do get popular.   No matter how dumb.

No kidding... I'm of the same thought that while police would certainly bust their ass to control it, if this ever truly did become some kind of mass hysteria and people actually joined en masse... I don't think there's all that much they could do. Shit...at least around where I am, I'd expect about a few of the force to join in on the acts.

You guys are aware that there's other resources the United States can draw on, right? If push comes to shove, the President can declare a state of emergency, can enact a curfew and deploy the Armed Forces inside this country.

Quite aware of all that... I was talking about local/state police. I don't think even if this ever did happen that it'd get THAT bad. If there were so many people participating that something of that caliber had to happen... fuck this country and I'm out even when it is quelled.  :lol

@TioJorge: I was assuming from jammin's post that that's what he meant. That it would spiral out of control on a national scale.
Frankly, those ideas are a preppers' pipe dreams. With the combined police force, plus 2.1 million soldiers readily available, that show would be over before it began. Fuck, not even the combined force of seven states could successfully secede. And that was in times where the average man's firearm was reasonably similar to the army's. These days you would be spotted by a drone and taken out by a sniper in no time.

Ah, I didn't read it that way...reread it and yeah it does sound like that. Well yeah, in that case I agree, there's no way that we don't have enough force in the entire country. That's about as radical as the people that say we'll eventually 'rise up' against out government. We'd be crushed; so would they (the hypothetical purgers).

But I was more thinking along the lines of a few concentrated instances around the country, I do believe that there are that many blind, ignorant people in this country. In which case it'd probably be local/state handling it for a while, and I think that's the point when something would break and the whole thing would be shut down. For a while though I could imagine shit getting crazy wherever it's occurring. It's still pretty far fetched but the sad thing is that it's becoming less and less far fetched as time goes on.

Ya...you're putting this on a much bigger scale than I was.   I was simply thinking of the poor police force in some podunk town in Kentucky.   (of which there are thousands of such "podunk" towns around the country where bored teenagers could get together to do something really REALLY stupid)

But on that scale ... I'm not even sure it would be worth mentioning. Sooner or later the resources drawn on would escalate to state-level, and then to national level. Somewhere along those lines it would be over.

So the creators of Adventure Time confirmed that Marceline and Princess Bubblegum used to date and have something going, and that they were going to include that in the show until Cartoon Network made them back off that, but it's always  been obvious that Marceline and PB have something going, as the creators just push the line with it anyways, and people are now screaming "FAN SERVICE FOR ALL THE LESBIANS WHO PROBABLY WATCH THIS SHOW AND TAINT THE CHARACTERS WITH GROSS RELATIONSHIPS AND GAY PROPAGANDA, CHILDREN WILL GET CONFUSED IF THEY KNOW SAME SEX RELATIONSHIPS EXIST."
People are literally this stupid, jesus fucking christ.

IMO, restrictions on cartoons help their charm. Look at Ren & Stimpy vs Ren & Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon.

(If you are not familiar with the latter do NOT watch it).

Most things art are better when having restrictions. Everybody can be crude, but trying to pass it as a kids show forces you to be subtle.

Restriction is fine to a point, but restricting a same sex relationship in a show is stupid just because some people really don't want their kids to know that exists. Like 4 real.
