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.

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
