Stophovr6 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Oh it was? How many deaths did it cause in Europe from this? Do you have a link that can back this up? The effects of the accident See main article: The effects of the Chernobyl Accident [/url] Soviet medal awarded to liquidators. The plume of radioactive debris was equal to 400 hiroshima bombs. The workers involved in the recovery and cleanup after the accident received high doses of radiation. According to Soviet estimates, between 300,000 and 600,000 people were involved in the cleanup of the 30 km evacuation zone around the reactor, but many of them entered the zone two years after the accident. [3] Some children in the contaminated areas were exposed to high radiation doses of up to 50 grays (Gy) because of an intake of radioactive iodine-131, a relatively short-lived isotope with a half-life of 8 days, from contaminated milk produced locally. Several studies have found that the incidence of thyroid cancer among children in Belyorussia, Ukraine and Russia has risen sharply. So far, no increase in leukemia is discernible, but this is expected to be evident in the next few years along with a greater, though not statistically discernible, incidence of other cancers. There has been no substantiated increase attributable to Chernobyl in congenital abnormalities, adverse pregnancy outcomes or any other radiation-induced disease in the general population, either in the contaminated areas or further afield.

Prosperity Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Nah, I think we should stick to countries that have publicly announced that they want to completely destroy America and/or Israel. Why did you include Israel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 That's why liberalism is called a "mental disease". Your post is a prime example of someone that would rather cower in a corner than protect yourself. Did you get bullied in school?Aren't you the one that wanted to go into Walmart with a gun because the guy at the door was saying "Happy holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas". I just wanted to check on that before commenting further on your opinions concerning "mental disease". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where does this say that the radioactive fallout killed people in Europe, as you intimated in your earlier post? Did you also notice the article said the Chernobyl debris was equal to 400 Hiroshima bombs? We could cripple and stop North Korea's nuclear program with much less. I'd figure one of our lowest grade nuclear bombs would do the job. Everyone would win - no more Kim Jong Nutjob and we would ultimately save many North Korean and American lives by avoiding a conventional war.

SkinInsite Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Oh it was? How many deaths did it cause in Europe from this? Do you have a link that can back this up? Here's a nice picture of the plume. A couple of bombs may not cause as big a fallout, there's still is a health concern. Who knows how many children are affect. In Soviet bloc countries they don't generally like to give out bad news. You think they won't be worried in Japan, where they despise nuclear weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I was walking away he walked over and said he would get a couple autographs for me if I gave him my address....about a week later I got a ball in the mail with 20-30 sigs on it.

Thiebear Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 We don't have a way to shoot down an InterContinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM). That is Kim Jong and Iran's ultimate goal - to launch a nuclear missile from within their country that could reach the U.S. Remember, it was you liberals that shot down Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative. Actually we can shoot ICBM's out of the sky.. And again your Pre-emptive nuke strategy is lacking in foresight.. IF we as a Nation pre-emptively killed entire Nations like Iran (who can an may overthrow their own government) and North Korea (which will get taken down due to it being a disease upon itself).. AND know we are not really at any risk that conventional means couldnt fix.. The planet would sanction us and we would become Europe as the Euro replaced the dollar in every country in the would.. We would then have the 20+% Unemployment and be forced to go Healthcare etc.. It would ruin us.... Not everything is by Nuking 1st as you keep stating and Yes I listen to Michael Savage and Rush and Glenn Beck etc... If you really thought it through you would see that we shot our trust in Iraq so we have no pre-emptive power right now... We may in a year or two when more facts come out and if Iraq goes the way it should... but till then.. chill baby... its all good, NK couldnt reach us if they were 100yds from shore with the ass on fire...
