OT: Galactic sterilisation

[Fyron]

Wow... I see statements of making fun of the military itself have (as probably should have been expected) been grossly twisted into making fun of specific people that died. So sad that you guys had to read what you wanted to read, not what was said. Making fun of the military does not constitute making fun of the soldiers that died in ANY way, shape, or form. "The military" IS an abstract entity, divorced from the soldiers in it. Mocking the military itself is ENTIRELY different than mocking the men and women themselves of the armed forces.

whoops, got that Last post in before reading the wind-down. ignore me, as usual.

so, if we wanted a burst of radiation to sterilize the planet, am i correct that we could only expect to zap one hemisphere of it? it wouldnt be all that hard to repopulate and keep the species going if we had a whole half the world to work with. Maybe JurijD would get lucky, and only the americas would be wiped out. Admittedly, that wouold not bode well for our nothern and southern neighbors, but acceptable losses, and all that.

yes we would lose a few hockey teams.

But we would win the cup every year.

But I would not be able to travel to small american towns all over...

But the cup would be back here.

Then I guess Canadians would be considered bad. But I would rather see a donut shop all over the world than the golden arches

And no more of that ice tea problem.

Cause ice tea would be what it is ice tea... no strange brew tea and let it get cold to drink...

I think mostly i would miss the small brew pubs and micro brewerys.

And the fact I never saw California.

Oh and no SEV...


AT That is a good ship set.

Huh? What do you call iced tea?

Well I did think about that. (already had plans on creating a black hole somewhere near us) Couldn't get the damn Tesla matter-energy transformer to work properly.
But the real problem is that these bursts Last for several decades and hehe the Earth tends to rotate every now and then (I read 24h somewhere... I don't know where Oleg, should you want my refrences again)

But seriously... this issue I raised that was directed against the US is the same as with that military thing you were talking about. And as Fyron pointed out: The US and its citizens are two different things. I got nothing against you poeple, I even got several american friends... heck my english teacher was American and we let her live.

I mean you people can't help it if you got leaders that have **** for brains.... I mean you tried to elect a better president (Gore got something like 63% of total cross US votes) but the courts didn't agree with you.. so lets hope you get democracy going again before the next election. Or at least deal with this silly electoral system before it bites you in the *** again.

Forget about each individual state and just simply add up all the votes cross country. Isn't that the most fair and democratic way? And besides everyone else is doing it

Everyone else is doing at lot of things we aren't, buddy. Our way is better. ^_^

Anyway, your figure is a little off. The difference between 47% and 63% is pretty big, but remember that was just an estimate. They never did finish counting the votes in Florida. A U.S. Presidential candidate does not need the majority to win, he just has to have more votes than the other guys. It's kind of like running from a bear in that way.

Let the party resume.
