Wondering what event was going to kick off WWIII?

Damn you, I was just going to post this. I give it a week before Russia brings out the dirty bombs.

The end is near.

 

Yeah, not good at all.

 

The DOW is up 2% though right now so investors don't seem to care too much. I'm guessing WWIII is a bit of a stretch. If something isn't done immediately this could get uglier though for sure.

Edit, also invading breakaway republics is nothing new for Motha Russia.

 

Yeah, not WWIII material there.

Now if Iran suddenly attacked Isreal.................oh ****.

 

Come on Brian, are you serious? This is not going to start WW3, ain't going to happen. There's been issues over there for awhile now and yes the UN may step in, but it's certainly not going escalate enough to create more than regional drama

 

My Lithuanian teammate concurs with my assessment. He's happy that Russia is at least occupied for a year or so prolonging an invasion of Lithuania lolz.

 

that's is speculation at best...and with one hell of a reach....you're fishing.

:eek4:I'm mucho more worried about IRAN, KOREA, and let's not forget those damn Canadians!!!!

 

YES THE CANADIANS EH

 

Attacked by slapshots ftl.

 

Or these characters

 

It's okay, the LHC is gonna be turned on Sept 10th, so we don't have to worry about this for very much longer

 

post those shenanigans you found. inspire fear and insanity!

 

Yes, a black hole is going to swallow all of Europe.

 

...and Mexico. Many millennia ago they secretly decided to invade the United States and slowly take over. It's a 500 year plan that's well in the works....and we like it!:biggrin:

 

All of this sounds like kids in a playground trying to beat each other up.
See? Nobody ever grows up, we just get older.

 

agreed..I'm definitely getting older...and quickly

 

Can someone explain this for me?

 

I posted something about it over on t3hw00t.

It's pretty freakin crazy and cannot be explained what they are attempting to do, because I don't think they even know.


For real, check it out
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider

I don't remember what the chances of it malfunctioning and ending life on earth, but when put into perspective, the odds were shocking.

 

India vs Pakistan

 

LHC = Latest and greatest particle accelerator. I don't see what everyone is so concerned about...

 

@#$%^&^%$#$%^%$#$%

I was 32 at the time:biggrin:

 

lmao they know exactly what they are trying to do.

The LHC is a huge particle accellerator that will be used for physics research.

 

lol

That article that was posted about it : http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/06/30/doomsdaycollider.ap/index.html

made me think that the scientists that created the collider were getting in over their head.

".... some critics fear the Large Hadron Collider could exceed physicists' wildest conjectures: Will it spawn a black hole that could swallow Earth?"

It made me chuckle

 

How does a collider create mass? Isn't mass required (lots of it) for a black hole?

 

they are concerned about what will happen when the protons collide

 

No, it's caused by density.

If you take a small object and squish it down to something along the lines of the Planck constant, you may end up with a tiny black hole. The only thing is that the event horizon will be absolutely tiny as well.

That's what may happen with the LHC -- it may produce enough energy to crush the colliding particles down to a size small enough to create a tiny black hole. Fortunately (well at least they hope!), thanks to Hawking radiation, the black hole that could happen would hopefully evaporate within a new nanoseconds.

lol.

 

You forgot the important part -- they are concerned about what will happen when the protons collide at the energy levels generated by the collider.

Scientists have been smashing protons for years. :biggrin:

 

The thing about WWII, is that we knew we were going to be bombed. And we sat there, waited, and allowed it to happen. We WANTED to go to war. We just needed to be provoked in order to gain the support of the American people. Sounds like 9/11 and Iraq :ugh:

..money, money, money, money...

But yeah...this will probably settle down pretty quick. I can't see the US getting involved unless we were "provoked" again. :roll:

 

The US has been warring for profit since WWI....nothing new there. Our gas companies sold fuel with a special patent to the nazis in WWII so they could conduct bombing runs in England lolz(thank you Standard Oil - see the OT Zeitgeist thread).

 

Not the civilians. Just our trustworthy leaders. No pain, no gain, right? "Operation Northwoods" anyone?

 

I was just showing a similar example of the US wanting to go to war, and the crap it pulls to get there. I know when the Vietnam war was, thanks.

We backed Japan into a corner. What were they supposed to do? We did it on purpose.

Make your own conclusions.

 

There's evidence on both sides. I've read a bunch of different texts on it. That's why I said make your own conclusions. I just don't trust anyone, and I believe that people are inherently evil. With that being said...anything is possible. Question everything.

 

1962-72/75 = Vietnam war. 23 years later than WWII. Got it confused with ONW and Cuba at the same time...My bad. Mistype. :-/

That's why conspiracy theories rock. Cleans everything up for the under-informed

...and to quote my Information Studies teacher, "Just because it's government information, doesn't mean it's credible."

 

I would say your information studies teacher is a smart person. To many people take government reports and quote them like they are gospel. Since when after say, 1900 has the government gotten anything right or atleast not botched the majority of something?
