I'm from Limerick, also If you're Irish and you're republican you would happily blow up England lol

Ah the Irish...

I believe your anger is misplaced. There are far more people in Ireland I'd blow up first!

Yes Dansonno? :P

Racism is BS, anyways, this conversation has taken a turn for the worse. My original point had nothing to do with race, I just felt that the dude was a sore loser and wanted to call him out for it publicly. And for the record:

- There were both Germans and Americans involved in the creation of the first atomic bomb, and probably other nationalities as well. It was the American government that had the vision to fund it, though, as opposed to Germany's obssession with the huge gun that was mounted on a train and solid fuel rockets.

- Contrary to popular belief, Eastern Europe existed, anthropologically speaking, well before Occidental America did. There were quite a few common bonds, although not binding enough to eliminate myriad instances of internal eastern european strife, that did separate the entire region from its neighbors to the west, such as the predominantly slavic language groups, the cyrillic alphabet, and shared resistance to the scourges of first Byzantium, and then the Ottomans, often with the tacit or overt assistance of the Russians. Sometimes the situation would reverse itself, as in the REAL war of 1812 (totally eclipsing the minor conflict of the same name that involved the US) in which Napoleon invaded Russia ostensibly to free the peoples of Poland from the Russian yoke.

The iron curtain was drawn over lines carved in ancient stone by the competing forces of the Ottomans and sometimes the Russians on one side, and the Germanic and Italianate/Papal powers on the other. Read about the siege of Vienna, and about the crusade against the Principality of Rus by the Livonian Order/Teutonic knights, both stories are fascinating IMO... It's amazing there's anything left of Eastern Europe besides scorched earth, so many wars have been fought there.

Sorry about the topic drift, but then again considering where it was going, maybe I'm not :)

ROFL U give me a Untraceable hand gun and untraceable bullets and Ima go to work on everyone in the world we dont like lol Just Hate England Its just a growing up thing

NUKE BOMBS RULE!

Yeah Kalash I seriously disagree with the whole "Damn those English, up the IRA" kinda attitude you and so many other Irish people have. It IS just pure rascism.

After seeing Dansonno's comment I'm done posting on this thread. Come on wtf?

And did you know that when a neuclear power plant melts down, it only releases radiation. No mushroom explosion. No huge cities evacuating. Those living right next to a neucler plant might want to move, though.

Oh and, Japan attacked the US primarily because the US was maneuvering against imperial Japan diplomatically and economically, by choking off the supply of oil from Indonesia and the Phillipines, vital to the continued momentum of the Japanese war machine in Korea and China. Most evidence points to it being an unintentional communications error that caused the Pearl Harbor attack to occur before official receipt of Japan's declaration of war. No, I don't in any way think that Imperial Japan's goals were admirable, but to say that they attacked us without some compelling strategic cause is patently false. If not for the fact that the world hadn't yet realized that air power would obsolete battleships, they well might have won with their opening gambit, but as it was it forced a strategic shift in American naval operations that proved to be the trump card in the Pacific game.

What? The Irish make great food. I have alot of Irish friends. I wasn't being racist.

The Cold War was the Worst War of All if it was ever fought it would have been world war 3 in saying that these days I dont see a nuke ever being used

There was only tension during the Cold War. No battles.

Hey, we're gonna run out of fossil fuels someday and we need an alternate power scource. I should have said Neuclear Energy rules! But that would have been nerdy.

Dev America has nearly instigated every war its ever been in give me one where it didnt instigate it or stuck its nose in another continents business *not saying thats bad)

Yeah, we're bombing Lybia...

There were many many battles during the cold war, they were just proxy battles, such as various revolutions in Central America and Africa where the USSR would support one side and the US the other, or those little spats known as the Korean and Vietnam wars. The stakes were too high for the US and Russia to go to war with each other directly, and it was the 3rd world that paid the price by and large.

Aslo eventually Uranium will run out as will plutonium

By then, we'll have hundreds of billions of solar panels built.
