    Netanyahu launches "Real face of Iran" Twitter campaign against Khamenei

    Yeah, I know that politics is forbidden on this topic, but this is so fucked up on so many levels that I just had to post it. It scares me that people like this live on the face of earth. Not just people that threaten to whole nations, but also people that beat up other people on the street, because, well, they can. Burt even more, it saddens me. Netanyahu should be at home with his wife and grandchildren and enjoy life, not call for more blood.

    Israel, and Iran have been enemies since before either of us where born, and this is the thing that pisses you off? Come on, you're trying to hard.

    Hm, seems like you didn't get me. I bet that people were saying after Chernobyl that this will never happen again because we learned something. And then it happened, in Japan, in one of the most advanced countries in the world. And it's way way WAY worse than Chernobyl. We don't learn and we tend to repeat mistakes.

    Different mistakes. Chernobyl (and 3mile island for that matter), where operating mistakes. Fukushima, was mostly a construction mistake. Design was underrated for the earthquake threat in the area, and the seawall was to low.

    Yeah exactly. So we've learned from the operating mistakes, now we've learned from design and construction mistakes.

    Seems like we're ready to roll it out big time now.

    (for the record, I am completely 100% for nuclear power)

    There'll always be something no one sees coming.

  6. Well I think it is worth the risk. We're destroying the planet at a faster rate than ever, and if I'm being honest, it actually wouldn't worry me if humans became extinct. We're the worst thing that has ever happened to the planet and the pollution and degradation of the environment we've caused so far actually makes me sick. So nuclear power is a big step in the right direction. And if we all die in the process, well, so be it. The world will be better for it.

    In other words:
    -only way to completely avoid a car accident = not taking the car.
    -only wat yo completely avoid a nuclear accident = not using nuclear energy.

    Pretty simple.

    I was half expecting Moya Brennan from Clannad to mystically rise from a lake to be my guest on Needle Time. But she came by taxi.

    hehehe

    Wow., Really deep cut for non-U2 trained ears... Nice to stumble across it I guess. One of my favs from October

    Saw that movie already. Ending sucked.
  12. I like my nuclear power. Much prefer it do doing what Germany has done shutting them down and relying on Russian gas. Don't want Putin cutting power here.
