@Binky40SW: Wow! Just read a few of your 'informed' comments and I'm amazed people like you still exist in this enlightened age, I have a few questions...

1: How is it possible you can be a man in your thirties and still as ignorant as pigshit?

2: Do you have an unhealthy obsession with firearms? (I'm guessing I already know the answer to this one...right 'Cleatus'?)

3: Do you have an even more unhealthy obsession with your sister?

4: Do you possess: A) A Mullet. B) A Pick-up. C) Both

@Binky40SW: By the way, next time your cleaning your shotgun (I've no doubt an inadequate like you owns several of them) make sure it's loaded and the barrel's in your mouth. You'll be doing the gene pool a favour and I seriously doubt you'll be missed ;-)

When you watch this film, it's extremely disturbing to think about how much food is discarded by the grocery stores because it has a blemish of some sort...and how much more is wasted after it's purchased (whether privately or commercially). We take so much for granted...

Because, thanks to a mis-interpretation of the US Constitution, the "Right to bear arms" includes a nuclear missile in your back yard.

When it was drafted - "right to bear arms" meant a sword and a one-shot-at-a-time musket.

But put it out of context in modern times, and it means Uzis and AK47s and Hand Grenades and Bazookas and Rocket Launchers and - yes - Nuclear Missiles.

Basically, the short-sighted US constitution gave any old half-wit the right to end the world.

Moral of the story? At the very least own a fucking swiss army knife so you can at least open a fucking can of soup with some dignity.

Amazing how stuff like this brings out the wilfully ignorant rednecks.

@Steve10578 Doubtful, given the near total collapse of agriculture following a nuclear war.

3:30 - I bet various VIP's (i.e. PM's/Royalty/MPs/Presidents) would be tucking into a 3 course meal in their underground bunkers.

I imagine the rats and insects would take care of all the dead. We'd become the blood-meal for the next generation of biology, in the shape of a rat-dropping. Quite a fitting end I shouldn't wonder.

@gaywhitecockcum why are you racisit?

This can still happen because our leaders support US. What we get in return? Nothing. We should resign all cooperation with US.
