12bhi 0 #2 February 7, 2003 So once it become red it will already be to late... I wish everybody could just get there shit together and focus on living life instead of destroying it.If you think about it,at this rate how much longer can we last?You know I hate being a pessimist because I've got two kids,and I would like to think things will get better for them,but it just seems like the peoples in control cant see past there own selfish lives and look after the welfare of the future generations...Its almost like we as a whole adopted the philosophy,that anything beyond our life span is useless and void of our concern,and so we all horde the moment for some sense of false sequrity, only to leave our future empty handed..It may sound like I'm just ranting,but I see our earth,and life to be the only thing we have....And if we cant uphold that we'll be nothing more than an eradicated parasite.............Pass the peace>>>>>>> Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

12bhi 0 #7 February 7, 2003 Yeah,I agree....Ten years would be much more accurate compared to a life span...That just makes it that more pathetic.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mouth 0 #9 February 7, 2003 The scary part for me is what can I do to protect my children? If someone does hit the Big Red Button is there anything we can do? I remember fallout shelters all around when I was a child, but I haven't seen one in years, nor am I convinced these so-called shelter would really protect anyone. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

billvon 3,118 #11 February 7, 2003 > If someone does hit the Big Red Button is there anything we can do? The best defense if something like that does happen is sheer distance. The further away you are, the less likely you are to be injured. That's a problem, of course, if you live and work in LA (for example.) I think you're right in that fallout shelters are not that great in terms of protection. But like anything else, the best defense is prevention. What can our government do? Start working on policies to _prevent_ terrorist groups and terrorism rather than trying to play catch-up once it's here. We've sponsored quite a bit of terrorism ourselves; we should stop that. What can we do as people? Use less oil is a big one. If we didn't rely on the middle east for our oil, we'd be a lot less likely to fight wars there (or just sponsor governments, have strategic alliances etc) and thus less likely to be the target of the rage of millions. This means spending more money and/or getting a car that's not exactly what you want, but by doing that you can help reduce our dependence on Iraqi oil.

happythoughts 0 #21 February 7, 2003 QuoteI think you're right in that fallout shelters are not that great in terms of protection. I talked to a person who built one in the back yard. The main problem with them is that they aren't much good unless you know when to use them. Since we are going to get less than a 30 minute warning before impact, they aren't much good. Remember the old public service announcements "If this was an actual emergency..." You have to be listening to a tv or radio in order to get the message, right? And be near your fallout shelter. So, they don't help when you are asleep, at work, away from home, etc. In other words, the chances of hearing the warning and being at home are small. If you do survive, you have the worse problem of being alive afterwards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SickMonkey 0 #22 February 7, 2003 A nuclear event is not a viable option for the United States. What would the shareholders of the dozens of multinational corporations have to say? Their stocks and other holdings would plummet. There would definitely be a smaller customer base to go around as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
