Nuclear Disaster & Americas potential downfall

[TexTitan01]

Mod Edit: Added the correct choice to the poll

 

So, I just watched the series premiere of Jericho. And it really got me thinking. If world relations took a turn for the worse, and decided to unload their nuclear arsenal on us, what would really happen in the event of a nuclear attack? Better yet, what would you do? Because if you really think about it, no one would know what to instinctivly do, and there would be widespread chaos throughout the nation. Riots, panic, just pure undeniable chaos.

 

 

This really could probably be considered the downfall of the next great empire in history. First the Roman Empire collapsed in 200A.D, then the Spanish Empire got done away with in 1588 after the defeat of their navy, the English Empire kind of fell apart in the 1920-30s because of the World Wars, now, potentially, the American Empire (IMO thats really what we have going), could be eliminated in a series of nuclear attacks by terrorist groups; and then kids 100-200 years in the future, would read about the happenings that caused our downfall in their history books.

 

Now I know, Empire is kind of a strong word to use, but think about it: we are the most powerful nation the world has ever seen, we have military outposts in most of the world, we have "conquered" most other nations in the world, and American Influence is everywhere. IMHO, we may not say it now, but if you ask someone in the next couple centuries, they'll talk about the American Empire rather than just USA.

 

Wow, I went from Nuclear attack, to the downfall of America. Man what a ramble,

Immediately leave the country and go to another one. Perhaps Switzerland? Having said that, none of the choices on the poll seem to fit that, so no vote in it for me.

[Ed]

Duck and Cover!

[tacoking]

For now I say FIGHT!

 

 

Although if that time actually comes I may be freakin' out too much to do anything.

[ParkTrips]

Better yet, what would you do?

Create a thread about it.

I would think it was freakin awesome that somebody stood up to us and I think it'd be worth it. I'm slightly radical because I would look at it in the long term and realize that it would show other countries that they CAN have a say, and maybe America's head would get deflated a little.

 

I hope they coincidentally hit where all of our weapons are, too. That way we can's just vaporize their entire country.

"That kid who wants college credit for the TPR trips"

LMAO

 

EDIT: How could you fight a nuclear disaster???

[Wes]

Bang a ton of hot bitches. Is there really anything else?

 

Why isn't that an option in the poll?

 

EDIT: It's there now.

[Shockwave]

^I say add it. You've got the power Wes!

well think about it, do you realy think it would be easy to have internet access in the event of a nuclear blast? probably all power would go out, and fallout would cause you to flee to the nearest shelter (or strip club, if you wanna do what wes would). Of course, maybe Joe is one of the few who's already been exposed to radiation, because I cant think of any other people who have quad-boobs

[Homer]

Bang a ton of hot bitches, again, procreate the species and make some new genetically f***ed up children that glow.

[ParkTrips]

Bang a ton of hot bitches. Is there really anything else?

ha! I was going to say something to the effect of "I bet 2/3 of this board would say 'lose my virginity' if it was an option", so at least you got something like that.

 

// votes to bang hot bitches

[Calvin]

Move to Europe and mourn the loss of Holiday World, Knoebels, and El Toro.

ummmm....I have quad boobs!

 

but really, I would move out of the country until the fallout reached Europe or something. Then I would slowly die from the fallout.

[BiCoastal Kid]

I would wait for the next generation of children and make a documentary entitled "Fall Out Boys" OBVIOUSLY.

[BelizeIt]

It's called the Bible folks!

 

If this catastrophe occurs, rather than "banging your bitches", you better start repenting your sins! Otherwise, you'll risk joining those like Wes (whose soul is beyond redemption) down below in the Eternal Hell Fire! (Revelation 14:11; 19:3; 20:10)

[Wes]

^ You're just mad cause you won't be getting any.

[BelizeIt]

^Wes, that was a fast response! I'm beginning to believe that you spend more time patrolling these boards then Robb or Elissa.

 

No doubt in the future if the bombs do go off, the sinners will yell "Hail to Pimp-Daddy Wes and his Trollop of Bitches!"

[Wes]

^ To a certain extent, that's probably true. I am an assistant here, so I try to actively read what's going when I'm on my computer. But hey, at least I'm not obsessed with the reproductive output of Robb and Elissa.

[BelizeIt]

^I've always thought that as a TPR ASSistant that you were Brutally efficient about following and enforcing TPR doctrine. (which is what any well run site needs)

 

Whether someone is a 1st time poster or on their 500th post, you seem to treat them the same. I would be willing to bet that among you cohorts, that you've locked the most threads. (How many times has a "What's your favorite........?", thread been posted!)

[verticalzero]

1st Choice: Drive to Pembrokeshire National Park in Wales, buy lots of my fav food at Tesco, sit on a beach watching the Sun and light disappear

 

2nd Choice : I would flydrive to Cedar Point, ride MF or Magnum when the mushroom clouds appeared, there is no better way to die than having the ride of your life.

 

3rd choice : Drive to Walibi World in Holland a ride "Goliath"

 

Let's hope it does not ever happen in our time, what a waste of life and all those lovely wood n steel coasters never to be ridden again.

[Sasquatch]

I know this sounds stoopid but i would get as close to the blast(s) as possible so i wouldnt suffer, i would be just a shadow making a funny face

[FlyingScooter]

Duck and Cover!

 

Atomic Cafe was great movie!

 

That's right Johnny, just duck and cover!

[Guest]

I would do nothing knowing it would be the end of the world

[FlippyTrick09]

Bang a lot of hot Bitches is what I chose....

 

But I, being quite religous, would pray and ask for forgiveness, bang the bitches, go pray and ask forgiveness again, and then go FIGHT! I hope this never happens. What you did say about the downfall of empires is quite true... But if America goes down, it aint going down without a fight!
