Electromagnetic Pulse: North Korea’s Latest Threat

[johnh]

Some idiot was on the radio the other day saying the Monarchy only costs each person around 87p a year, I texted in and said why don't we all get reimbursed that 87p and give 87p to the NHS instead.

Amen to that thought, brother



... not that I believe in god, either

Rigger, have you ever thought? If there is a God, people will be able to point a finger at you in the after-life and take the piss something cronic. If there isn't a God, then no one will ever know.

John, you know me better than most on here - do you honestly think I'd care if anyone took the piss in the afterlife ??
They and I have been doing it for fifty years already, so the rest of eternity would feel empty without it .. if there is a god, of course

There may, of course, be an afterlife devoid of a god. A passing through into another realm that prepares us for something else further down the line. Or it could just be bollocks and we will just be worm food. Either way I won't be stressing about it.

I bloody hope there is something else, I mean, all these righteous good deeds I have been doing for nothing. No chance! I've spoke to God on more than one occasion, and he said son, there's no need for you to die on the cross again. Good things come to those who wait.

Anyway, sod the EMP threat.
At this rate there'll be war in the Pacific one way or another and it's not looking good, is it ?

Excellent piece on the whole thing here (very long read, btw) : https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/ar ... th/528717/

I often think of life as a game, you build destructive toys and eventually they will fall into the wrong hands.

There is always a bright side. This electromagnetic pulse thing might sort out my atrial fibrilation.

wel, to tell you the truth I feel pretty uneasy at all this: you've got one total madman and one half madman trying to do world business ...

Half ???

They're both the full fruit and nut if you ask me ..

And John, you might be our only hope ! Get suited up

[johnh]

Yes, I agree with Rigger. Don't know how you can refer to Kim Jong-un as only half mad.
