What if this was the real thing, A real nuclear bomb.

We really, really wouldn't of done anything.

It keeps running through my mind, everybody was just looking up at it.

Pity, now they could shoot a real one off without a fear of it getting shot down.

See that line, they just crossed it, raised the bar. Told everyone in actions to go ((((( themselves

How many of these posts about the same incident are we going to have? Normally, I want the moderators to stay out of the business of posters, but good, lordy, I saw 4 posts listed on the front page about all this.

As an aside comment, I really dislike clicking on a post that is on the front page, only to find a moderator has closed it and recommended moving to another thread. If the thread is redundant, then just put it aside for cripes sake and list the other, earlier thread instead.

No lame excuses, please. I read them all and I am not impressed nor convinced.

and the rest of us hate it when you take up your own time posting a gripe that has no context in a thread




ON TOPIC:

N. Korea just neutered Japan, the US, and NATO. All those threads of "we will shoot it down" just got shot down. Way to go "Free World" you show N. Korea how big and sorta boss you can be when someone isn't pointing a gun in your face.
