True. There were probably people that went through both World Wars who thought the world was coming to an end. If someone WERE to nuke us, so what? Japan got nuked. It wasn't the end. People are bombed every day. Still not the end.
It may be the end of America as we know it (please, no panicking), but still not the END.
Unless, we are all that matters.
nope,I don't think we're all that matters.and yes,I would pay attention,would it be the end yet? who knows.maybe not.but another world war,this one using nukes this time around,would not be pretty.most ppl don't even realize we did get a small amt of fallout just from chernobyl,here in the usa.not enough to hurt us,but a nuclear ww3 would not be pretty! perhaps not even a nuclear middle east war.i don't know how much fallout we'd see here,if any.guess it would depend on many factors.
i promise not to panic
sometimes i wonder what it WOULD be like now,had japan taken us over.would we have better technology? a better economy?? no unemployment?? a better way of life??yes, I realize there would not be a lot of things/freedoms we have now,i just can't help but wonder if our overall quality of life would have been better.(no stone throwing,pls.just wondering!!!)I'm glad they didn't take us over,still,it makes me wonder if they had,would we have been any better off thanw e are now?

I won't throw stones at you. I just don't care enough about much of anything to do so.
Anyway, interesting you say such things. My son is obsessed with Japan for some reason. Probably because of, as you pointed out, their advanced technology.
And, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, ahead of time, for not panicking.

reminds me of what Marty said to Doc in the movie Back to the Future..
"But Doc...all the best stuff is made in Japan!!"

the sky is falling!! sry,temporary moment of panic there
Yes! I pay attention...have eyes and ears that are far reaching......thus, in spirit, am vigilant always! In physical terms...I am cognizant that nothing we do can alter the course of what God has written as HIS DIVINE WILL!

Be aware that the Japanese hierarchy had total distain for Americans and Westerners in general. In fact, in a historical document on their treatment of downed and captured WW-II American flyboys in the Pacific theatre, it turns out that Japanese island commanders butchered and ate Americans as sashimi.
This fact was not released until all these young mens' mothers had passed away precisely because of the utter horror and shock this fact would have brought to those poor women.
The hysterically instilled bushido attitude of the warring Japanese Empire thugs would have placed us all in utter subservience. The Japanese attitude at the time was amply demonstrated in the Rape of Nanking, China and other atrocities against even their fellow Asians. Not to mention the infamous Burmese Death March they subjected captured British troops to after those brave fellows capitulated at Shanghai. Despite it's gross inaccuracies, check out the movie "Bridge Over The River Kwai"
It's called PAY ATTENTION for a reason......if it's not for you, it's not for you! That's all. I don't drink tea and then turn around and complain about how much I hate it. Nobody forced me to drink it, right? RIGHT!
For the interested...."At stake: a free, open, and affordable Internet, threatened by powerful phone and cable giants wanting to privatize and control it, have unregulated pricing power, and decide what's published at what speed or blocked".
If this is not a cause for concern to you, then just move along, that's all. If it is, I urge you to pay attention to it's development. It is a critical step to where we are TODAY, along this ever increasing fast track to world globalization.
