:/

Well to be fair, I never experienced that, since while that whole fiasco was happening, I was rocking an HTC Incredible :D

You know what's up-to-date? My iPhone #stratificationlol

:D BALLS IN YOUR COURT

Don't you listen to cell phone companies? Bandwidth costs a TON OF money!!!
Hi, I'm a human. It's nice to meet you! We have this ability to think about more than one thing at a time. Well, not exactly concurrently, but we rotate through them at an alarming rate. Hope you fit in just fine on this planet! :D
Damnit Jesus.

Now I cannot unsee. Never opening calendar again.

Yeah, Apple products are totally unfunctional
Like, that's funny, because I recently met maybe 50 air marshals, and THEY ALL LOOKED LIKE THIS. ALL OF THEM. EVEN THE MEN.
Well, think what you want man. Yeah, the US used scientists from everywhere in the entire world to make the bomb. But then we developed it, and gave our allies the tech. Then everyone else started stealing. Check out how the CIA leaked "fake" nuclear weapon plans to China spies in America which they were able to fix because...they were actual nuclear weapon plans with fudged numbers. Or how Russia just straight up lifted plans and schematics from all over the country. Or Pakastan and India...hmm, how did they get it? Check it out.

North Korea is not developing the bomb anytime soon. Sleep soundly at night. Plus, even if they did develop the bomb, there is no way they could ever threaten anyone but Japan with is. Northern Japan.

What, are they gonna strap it onto one of their IL-12s?! LOL. Or fire up one of their 8 MiG-29s after haphazardly attempting to strap on a nuclear bomb that they won't develop onto one of the...centerlines? LEAVING IT WITH NO BAGS?! Not going to happen.

More also, do you see what's happening to Iran (an actual country with an actual world presence and lots of money) as their fervently attempting to build one of these things?

Guess what. The USA is the only country in the history of this planet to invent the nuclear bomb. Every single other country has either stolen the technology or we gave them the means to reverse engineer the technology. Seriously.

edit: a nuclear bomb and a nuclear reactor are vastly different things. Also, on the topic of reactors, you know how many countries in the world are currently able to produce reactor cores?

I'm not a lawyer, you might be. Are we required to follow Geneva standards verses people who don't recognize it? Serious question.
Yeah, I'll agree that the law is not justice. Justice comes from somewhere inside of us. The law is written by us as a collective unit, so it's very imperfect, or at least as how I'd view "justice".

What I can't stand is the "outside looking in" mentality so many of these incidents evoke. Like, I can't say what happened there, I wasn't there. I've been places though, and most people just don't have a fucking clue.

No, that's fucking treason. You're wrong. End of story. Releasing classified documents to the general public is basically sending our enemies a cardboard box of material that we (the US) do not want them to have. Treason.
yeah. What you've said. The TL;DR version of the past 70 years of atomic physics is that making a nuclear bomb is one of the most difficult things anyone can ever do, and making one that is effective enough to actually explode in the way everything thinks of nukes exploding in is more or less miraculous.

Not going to happen.

It's because Americans are so fucking ethnocentric it blinds our ability to think. Like in almost every single realm of life.

"OH MY GOODNESS, LOOK AT THOSE POOR BLACK PEOPLE. THEY CAN'T EVEN AFFORD CLOTHES"

meanwhile, we accumulate tens of thousands of dollars of debt, buying fucking clothing. what.

"OH MY GOODNESS, THEY ONLY MAKE 75 CENTS AND HOUR WORKING IN THAT FACTORY MAKING OUR SHOES"

which is like, 300% more they'd make working anywhere else. which is a lot better than starving to death. or selling all of your daughters into prostitution.

ugghhhhhhhh

yeah. I do what I want with me phone, cool? You don't like it? Don't service it! Making it illegal? Fucking nazi-loving bastards, I hate you all. FOD.
The fact that this is even a discussion that we can have is just...man it just fucking depresses me. I wonder how long until we start "licensing" all sorts of things - appliances, clothing, vehicles, etc. It's going to be a fuck fest. I kind of wish we could just freeze everyone for a year or so and rewrite most of our laws.
well there's always ol' coaty!

Also, trust 17 year olds with making choices that affect our nation very directly through voting? FUCK NO!

trust them with making decisions about creating lives? Hell yeah!

America!
