If we were the only people left on earth, assuming that there isn't catastrophic damage to the earth or that we weren't being hunted down by zombies, aliens, etc., I suspect it would be surprisingly easy to survive. At first there would be an overabundance of virtually everything, such as medical supplies, food, fuel. And so most likely we could survive the first few years by living a nomadic lifestyle and moving from place to place scavenging for supplies. However, food eventually spoils, even boxed stuff, and so we would have to establish a farm of some sort and therefore eventually shift from a nomadic lifestyle to that of a farmer. An alternative to this is hunting and therefore a more tribe-like situation can be expected. At first we may have leaders to help organize and guide everyone, but as a norm is established in the day to day life I expect that we will become more democratic. I think the most important thing to remember is that usually disharmony amongst a group usually results from a lack of resources, limited space, etc. If everyone keeps a positive mental outlook and learns to efficiently use the abundant resources available to them I think that we would be able to survive pretty easily. And I know realize that I haven't answered a single one of your questions in the description box... Just going to slowly walk away...

Normally I average about 2 or 3 hours on my computer, however since I am home for the holidays without much to do I am spending about 5 or 6 hours a day gaming.

I was actually worried at first that he wouldn't play his role well, but he pulled it off quite nicely.

I get a lot of talk from friends and family that I am too happy go lucky and that I don't plan or take charge of my future enough. But the truth is that I prefer not to worry too much about something that is not within my immediate 3 to 6 month future. I also like that Tolkien quote because to me it means that I can sometimes play a passive passenger role in my life but still head in an intended direction.

I just signed up after reading that reddit post. However, I was just a lurker back on reddit and thought this might be a good chance to start fresh and contribute.

Recently added Django Unchained to my list of favorites. If you haven't seen it yet I would definitely recommend going to see it. Especially if you are a Tarantino fan.

Dublin, Ohio but I go to college in Cleveland.

I currently go to Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. The university has a relatively small sized campus and population, but I enjoy going there for these reasons. I am studying engineering and physics and average pretty much a 3.00 every semester. Only downside I can think of is that the tuition is pretty expensive, and so I am grading papers to allow myself some wiggle room in terms of spending cash.
