For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

1 Thessalonians 5:3

10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may HAVE LIFE, and HAVE IT TO THE FULL.~JESUS~ written in John 10:10

I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior. Isaiah 43:11

Do I hear a stirring of the bees or do some of them yet hear TRUTH? Seek Jesus while there's time

The nukes are BRITISH not English. And we'd be happy to keep the nukes south of the border if you could keep all your fellow scots bigots north of it.

We have enough racists so we dont need to import the C grade stuff....

I look forward to the day when Scotland can tell England to get its nuclear weapons out of the clyde. keep em in the fucking Thames if you want them, English bastards

The UN report was a consensus report corrupted by with representatives by nuclear lobbyists, and nuclear groups. It means nothing. The Ukranian government themselves have said 2.5 million people have had negative health affects. Not just greenpeace.

I ask you to be more cynical of the nuclear industry and their lobby groups. They try the pitiful claim 56 people died, and in the next breath say another 4000 died as if they do not count. How can you fall for such inconsistent liars.

[tanmaniac]

1) I said that 56 people died in the accident and 4000 died of radiation-related cancer. Two different things.

I quote from United Nuclear - "28 people died... from radiation or thermal burns, 19 have subsequently died, and there have been around nine deaths from thyroid cancer... total 56 fatalities as of 2004.

# An authoritative UN report in 2000 concluded that there is no scientific evidence of any significant radiation-related health effects to most people exposed. " Greenpeace overcounted

[zzxzqwq]

No you have lied to. Greenpeace have reported over a quarter of a million have died as a result of Chernobyl. How can you trust the nuclear lobby on these issues when they have a financial interest in reporting low figures. Has the banks issue not taught you that companies lie to make profits. You cannot claim only 56 people died and then say 4000 people died too in the next breath. This is ludicrous. Who are you fooling?
