Yes minor in comparison to a small warhead

 

[SHAMPAIN]

I swear, one of the best and most disturbing films about nukes is "Threads"... It's about the Russians dropping Nukes on the UK, you can find it free online it's from the 80s...

War Games (a kids film) shows how MAD works perfectly. Wanna play Tic Tac Toe?

The whole nuclear thing plays a part in the Drake equation when used for the existence of extra terrestrial life... We don't know the answer to "L" which means longevity of civilisations i.e after a species becomes to a certain advanced state it tends to destroy itself like with nuclear explosions etc and that could also be the answer as to why we haven't officially heard or been visited by any aliens... We'll never know the answer to that until we're able to reach distant planets or until we destroy ourselves and by then it won't be worth knowing lol

 

[The Scoundrel]

The Earth is being destroyed anyway. I don't think we need a calamitous event. Maybe the real test is how far we can go with Tech before using the natural rescources of the world completely. It's a race between being self sufficient and ruining the planet.

 

[SHAMPAIN]

If humans want to survive forever then we'll need to be able to move planets then solar systems then galaxies because our earth and sun won't last forever... It's still way too early for us to be needing to think about moving, you're right we need to be thinking about the planet and being waaay more efficient with her resources... At this point in time we're like a plague to our planet and we're the new kids on the block as far as life goes...

 

[The Scoundrel]

Couldn't agree more. Vote Green

 

[SHAMPAIN]

haha I would 100% if they didn't have lefty mandates thrown in...

 

[The Scoundrel]

It's either that or a slow decline mate. They're the only ones with policies that allow for a future.

I'm pretty sure there'll be no war

Russia is putting troops there only to keep the fear flowing and to send gas prices up

After all, they profit a lot with it. Just observe how things are "calm" in the middle east. Not many bombings, Iran is quiet, Iraq has not much going on. The war in Yemen is being forgotten. Palestine is quiet too, same with Israel

They are doing this to make some money with high crude prices

They want the population gone, but they don't want major wars that cost a lot of money and destroy the environment,

They want people dying of disease, famine and localized civil wars. And more important, they want to make sure that the number of births is shadowed by the number of deaths.

When population numbers start dwindling they'll applaud and say that humanity is on the right path

You're a Green, @The Scoundrel ? So am I. AND we're in the same time zone. We have more in common than you want to admit, bastardo.

 

[SHAMPAIN]

Like I said, the green party would be a no brainer for me if they didn't swing left, I'd prefer if they were much more neutral but the world isn't a perfect place... Perhaps I will vote for them though as we've got no real right party in the UK... The cons and labour are two peas in the same pod and the SNP can go fuck themselves completely!

 

[LotusBud]

At least the Greens care about working people. Why are you righties so opposed to that?

 

[SHAMPAIN]

How are we opposed to working people? If we had our way everyone born in our country would have employment CHOICES and those positions certainly wouldn't be filled withh foreigners unless they have desirable skills...

I’m tired of politics.

 

[RANCIDMILKO ™ ®©]

Politics are important and necessary, Flea. The problem are the POLITICIANS.

 

[The Scoundrel]

Screw politics. Save the planet first then argue all you want.

 

[SHAMPAIN]

I'm sick of politics too, it was never a thing here before... I don't consider my love for Uncle Addie to be political though =D

 

[The Countess]

It’s boring asf

 

[The Scoundrel]

The US election killed SG

 

[The Countess]

Know what I want? Peace in my life. Every time I think I’ve finally found some, one of my fucking kids does some shit

 

[Biggie Smiles]

they're worse when they grow up than when they're babies

 

[The Countess]

Right? It’s the older ones that drive me up the wall

 

[The Countess]

Just when one gets his shit together, the other decides to become a party animal

 

[The Scoundrel]

You've got shit kids. Mine are great

 

[The Countess]

Your mom

 

[The Scoundrel]

Still dead

 

[The Countess]

Are yours even out the house?

 

[The Scoundrel]

2 youngest ones still at home but one works full time and the other's at college. I'm lucky. They're easy

 

[The Countess]

Maybe it’s an American thing
