Dumbest Protest Signs

Watch this shit end up on the "cover" of Inspire....

Way to go there, wingnut, you heinous, toxic piece of inhuman shite.

Well according to that map we now have to built the more expensive oil rigs compared to land based wells to get at the petroleum.

That is assuming there is still petroleum in that crater. If not, congratulations you want a future where we used perfectly good uranium to destroy perfectly good oil just because you maker of this dream map are a hateful hateful person.

Also you might have doom all life on the planet because of all the dust kicked up into the atmosphere.

I'd say pretty much all life on Earth would be completely fucked. The Chicxulub crater left by the meteor that killed the dinosaurs is only about 110 miles across. Anything that could make a crater of this size would make it look like a pop gun going off.

Wingnut's "dream map" of the Middle East:

So....why are we nuking the entire middle east for?

Ironbite-other then "BROWN PEOPLE LIVE THERE!"

Prolly because they're all Muzzie terrorists in the wingnut mindset or something.

The thing that gets me is the people who fantasize about this type of shit never stop to think about the foreign civilians who are in the Middle East for any number of legitimate reasons. For an attack like this to work, it would have to come as a surprise, which means the government couldn't warn people in advance. That would mean a whole bunch foreign non-combatants (Americans included) would die.

The wingnuts go apeshit because some Americans got killed by terrorists, but they want to turn around and kill thousands of Americans who would happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Or the fact that upon detecting the incoming missiles, Israel would fire its own nuclear arsenal at the US.

No, it's okay, look at the picture. Israel is magically unharmed, since bombs obviously just stop at the border of the explosion and do no excess damage.

Does humanity even have a bomb that can make a crater that big?  I know the tsar bomb is enormous, but would even that be large enough and have enough force to make a crater that big?

I think we have enough nuclear power to wipeout most animal life

A crater that big would have been caused by an explosion that wiped out all human life on Earth. I mean if it was done with a nuke then the radiation would have been spread all over the planet, causing additional damage and even with a conventional bomb the smoke and debris would have blotted out the sun causing another ice-age. In fact the explosion might have thrown some debris out of the orbit considering how huge that crater is.

Then there is the possibility that it would have been caused by a meteorite, which would be more believable, but it would still have wiped out most of the life on Earth if it caused a crater that huge. I mean the meteorite that took out most of the dinosaurs was MUCH smaller.

No, no nuke is powerful enough to make this. The only way humanity could achieve this to go catch a large asteroid (a really large one, maybe even a dwarf planet) and throw it. An impact event that big would sterilise the Earth and strip the oceans and atmosphere at the very least. We're about halfway to Alderaan with this.

I am always bothered when some work of fiction has a planet-killer weapon that actually blows up the planet, because usually* it is overkill. Really, all it takes to wipe out most of the life on the planet would be to destroy the surface and the atmosphere, why bother using up energy to destroy the WHOLE planet?

*Apart from those situations where the thing you want to kill is either REALLY deep underneath the surface or the thing you need to destroy actually is the planet! (Living planet, planet constructs etc.)

I think I have reached my limit with the conspiratadic shit I get from this woman I know. 

When I was in school back in the 90s, the Bible was available for checkout at the school library along with many other religious texts.
Students were free to check them out, bring their own Bibles and even have Bible study groups on school property. The ONLY thing that's prohibited is the staff cannot lead or encourage students or show preference to any one specific religion. I doubt things have changed much since then.

Our freshman year, first semester english class was the bible as in literature.  We even had a test over various creation texts, Christian, Navajo, Hindu, and this was in 1994.

Yeah, go ahead and give our wingnuts, the ELD & BNP, and you average Anders Breivik more ammunition to attack Muslims.

2005-2006 we had prayer circles during lunch. We went to the doors away from everyone during lunch. This was when I was still figuring out my religion and had been invited so I figured why not.
