Derrick,
You've got me ROFLOL on that one! Good job!
YK Hurls More Nonsense:
: I am not talking about them directly destroying the world, they don't have that sort of firepower. I am talking about Western civilization coming unraveled becuase of the shock wave that would reverberate around the globe.
The only relevant shock wave is the one that needs to be administered to your head by nurse Rached. STAT!
: You know, the financial system that's presently tottering on the edge of collapse?...
No, I don't. Was that the one that according to you was going to collapse in 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001, too?
: the political system that holds things together....sort of?
There's no "sort of" about it. There's no world-wide anarchy, so things are actually BEING held together.
: You don't honestly think that the world would go on in a business-as-usual fashion if millions of people are instantly obliterated on the Indian Sub-continent do you?
No, I don't. And I don't honestly think that the world would go on in a business-as-usual fashion if a lot of other things happened, too. SO WHAT? The world has had thousands and thousands of times where business-as-usual was interrupted by stuff. The world is still here, You Know, or haven't you noticed that?
: A few months back a couple of planes slammed into the WTC and the Pentagon and it nearly brought the nation to it's knees.
What do you mean by bringing this nation I live in "to it's knees?"
: That was really nothing compared to nukes---the ultimate terror weapon.
The ultimate terror weapon is FEAR, YK. And crackpots with enough people to believe them. Crackpots. Don't forget the crackpots, YK.
