Your faith amuses me. Humankind is ultimately self-destructive. Give them an excuse to end it all, and they will.

Nah, don't think so.

If it isn't human nature to pointlessly kill each other in response to some percieved danger, why do we have terrorism in the first place? Why is this thread here? Humanity's purpose is to fsck around and beat itself to death. Give it the opportunity, and it'll throw the knockout punch.

QFT. No electricity, no heat, no transportation, no piped water even, just for starters. I would imagine more casualties from lack of oil than from the nuke strike.

because most base line electricity isn't coal or nuclear generated...

wait...

Over 90% of transportation in the United States relies on oil.

The increase in food production has allowed world population to grow dramatically over the last 50 years. Pesticides rely upon oil as a critical ingredient, and fertilisers require both oil and natural gas. Farm machinery also requires oil. Arguing that in today's world every joule one eats, requires 5-15 joules to produce and deliver, some have speculated that a decreasing supply of oil will cause modern industrial agriculture to collapse, leading to a drastic decline in food production, food shortages and possibly even mass starvation.

Even a benign scenario with a slow rate of depletion and a smooth transition to alternative energy sources may well cause great economic hardship such as a recession or depression due to higher energy prices. There is a close correlation in the timing of oil price spikes and economic downturns. Inflation has also been linked to oil price spikes.

At the same time, the world's largest oil reserves are held by Saudi Arabia, followed by those of Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Iran and Russia.

Well so much for bombing the middle east. Next theory guys, this is getting quite old.

When did I say anything about it being a good idea? I said that it's human nature. Good ideas and humans RARELY mix.

As stated earlier, nukes are sooooo 60 years ago. Yes dangerous. Yes powerful. Yes sloppy. If there is a major terrorist attack that actually threatens the soveriegnty of the US, the world will see what has happened here since the Manhattan Project. Face it, hosers-

nukes -> modern warfare
:
abacus -> modern computing

and 99% of the world just got their first Casio.

Must be pretty wacky if you actually believe we're getting nuked tonight.

Nuking is not human nature. As the poster before me mentioned (quite insightfully), precision military strikes will allow us to hit the targets we need to, while maintaining the territory enough to be occupied by our forces. Iran should be a nice addition to our growing cachet of oil reserves.

I'm being sarcastic. I'm not one to buy into tinfoil hat conspiracies.

Who let you out of P&N? Can't you see we're trying to feed hysteria here? God damn you armchair politicians ARE totally f'ing clueless. Nathan and I can't rise to power without mass hysteria, and what an excuse this is. You'll be the first ones we execute.

Uhh... yeah.

Everyone duck and cover, it will protect you from the Al Qaeda nukes. Oh and also, duct tape your windows to keep the radioactive fallout from entering your home.

As far as I can tell from the tracert - in the DC area. If this thread isn't vaporized, the machine will be knocked offline by EMP.

... WTF. And where's my GDMF helicopter? Don't tell me your Canadians aren't complying.

 

1-minute until the 60-year anniversary of Hiroshima. If I die here in NYC, nice know everyone!

 

[EyeMNathan]

Everyone is still alive. Tinfoil hats off now please. And original poster please kill yourself.

That sucked. I was sitting outside on a lawn chair, facing Washington DC, eating a baked potato, waiting for the end. And it didn't come. Bastards.
