Let the world burn. 

[Kosh]

You just now realized this?

[IPAndrews]

Today I've been surprised by quite how intent they are on the whole destruction of mankind thing, I have to admit.

[WeatherOp]

The US likes to melt things, nukes, global warming, you name it, it's all good.

Today I've been surprised by quite how intent they are on the whole destruction of mankind thing, I have to admit.

So what brought about this revelation?

[TrashMan]

Global warming is coused by USA secret microwawe weapon experiments!

At a wild guess, the climate talks in Bali going straight into the toilet?

[karajorma]

First we build a great big wall around North America.....





Actually there's no more to it than that. As long as we don't put a roof on it we can still get Battlestar Galactica out on satellite.

[TrashMan]

I say put a roof too....pollution travels. We need to hermeticly seal them.

The space is a good enough roof.

After all, if you put water in a glass and the glass in a bigger cup of water, the waters don't mix if the edge of the glass stays above the surface. Same effect here.

[IPAndrews]

So if the US by it's actions is resulting in the deaths of civilians in countries around the world, at what point does it become an act of war by the US against those countries?

No, no, no, we get what we need to watch BSG out of there first then we seal everything.

The moment a US citizen dies in those other countries cause they are the bad guys.

Well, lets look at the positives, or one it should keep hurricanes out, and that would help with the melting ice caps, as it would keep us dry, then when everyone else drowns we simply conquer all the land. 

Also instead of north America, can we just make it the US? That will keep those illegals out.

[Flipside]

It's a trade off between growth and survival. Most countries can only afford to only commit to one path, we can either grow, or we can simply survive. Unfortunately, we are all on the same planet, which means we're dividing the cake up way too small, we're thinking countries when we should be thinking species when it comes these decisions.

Canada is being just as bad as you. So no.

And since you get them too you'll have plenty of ice to drown yourselves with too.

What do you mean? Kill all the back/yellow/red/white/whatever?

Kill off all the animals?

Ever heard of the concept of "managable development?"

[Flipside]

You miss the point, black, white, red, green, blue, purple, it's all as irrelevant as China, USA, UK, North Korea and Italy. What Italy does effects the UK, what the UK does affects Italy, etc what white does affects the black, what black does affects the green etc, it's the most obvious and simple truth in the world and yet we still haven't figured it out.

We aren't countries, we aren't races, we are a species on a planet, and, at this point in time, there's no exit.

[Inquisitor]

How is this thread any different from the others, out of curiousity?

[Flipside]

It isn't, this race is going to finger-point itself into extinction

[Inquisitor]

Well, I guess we'll have to do our part and watch the people who understand it argue with the people who do not.
