Where can we watch the rest of the show?

[plasterdbastard]

After 3 billion years of evolutionary life on our planet, our pinnacle is defined by our extraordinary ability to destroy not only one another, but the very systems that comprise the oasis that is planet Earth.

Men of integrity are often misled by men of persuasion.

Protect your integrity.

i certainly sleep well knowing mad bastards like this are prepared to blow us all to fuck, making the world safe through absolute terror!! its like watching a big dumb kid who has found a grenade and is playing with it like a toy in the playground.you wonder if we are gonna last another century.

@curryjunkie Take heart my friend! Were you alive during the cold war? It truly was scary, all the time. Every news broadcast gave us another reason to think the Reds were inches away from frying us, and that our response would be an immediate launch of everything we had - mutually assured destruction was our only option. Nowadays I think our primary nuclear threat is terrorists, and they might eventually get a bomb or two, but 99% of the world will still wake up the next day if they use it.

QED A Guide to Armageddon in 1982 was the original wasn't it?

LMAO @ the end. What if the indicator of a psychological breakdown was the armed guy shooting the other armed guy that's supposed to shoot the guy that's having a psychological breakdown? Shit.

[dcs002]

@orf32 If one of the two is shot, the weapons couldn't be fired. The crazy guy couldn't launch.

I think the handguns were more of a threat to force the other guy to turn his key and press his button if he seemed scared or hesitant when the orders came. (I think one drill showed that only half of the crews actually launched when ordered to do so, though the crews didn't know it was a drill - they thought it was the real thing.) Either way, that's pretty hardcore.

@orf32

and when they both dies thei heads fall on the launch button?? shit

[orf32]

Damn that woman was fast with that coffee!

[LastPlum]

[orf32]

Build a bunker in your living room? It looked like a cushion castle. I use to build those all the time. I know why my parents use to yell at me for it now, they came in the room and got scared and thought it was WW3!

I've always wondered about who these people were. I'm sure their families and loved ones are way more prepared than they would have you know. They have back up escape plans along with the elites. Average citizen defenseless. Yachts, underground cities, emergency shelters in remote areas free from radioactive fallout, otherwise nuclear weapons would not exist at all. The wealthy and privileged classes will escape the dangers.

[nitro855]

if one of them went crazy theyd shot first hahahhahaha

[MrMudkipKing]

If the terrorist want to spread terror, then aren't the conspiracy nuts below this page like them?
