It's true that it's better to have a firearm for self-defense than not. It's not true you do self-defense by pointing your firearm at someone, though. Life is not some Hollywood movie. I think self-defense in real life is done by surprising 'em with a sneak attack (if at all possible), and in...

Loudly chambering his shotgun was not the only possible method to make that burglar go away, though. Any indication the family is awoke and calling police would suffice. As for the lady with 38 special in her purse, 357 in glove compartment and 45 in console - sure bold of her to not be affraid...

I never said it was wrong. To me, "wrong" and "illogical" are very different things.

I'm not really all that good, this is 100% true. But some other guys? They just don't know what they're saying at all. Sometimes. P.S. "Can't make everyone happy", in the above context, means exactly "contradiction" - don't you think?

No contradiction. "Usually" can be used as a substitute for "generally". So, i read him as saying "every epidemic turns out to be pretty pathetic, generally", i.e. like "pretty pathetic, more or less", "pretty pathetic to put it simple", etc. Whether he meant this meaning of the word or not is...

You sound like you're much older than 3 years old, R.Graves. If so, it means, the following happened in your lifetime alright. In a nutshell, ebola melts most people from within to death, after few weeks of incubation, and back then they had no effective vaccine, too. I wouldn't call it...

1st, it's "general discussion" part of a gaming forum. If i'll fancy to post about bat's excrements, for example, you sure bet i will. Eat me. ;) 2nd, i know some guys in here are from US. Expected death toll of over 50k people in US means there is more than 0.01% chance someone in this forum...

Well, depends on which city it is! New York? Sure, whole place would jump into their big SUVs and drive to the other cost without a single stop, i bet! Moscow? They'll just say "ah, another accident probably". The dam place has over 35 nuclear reactors within city limits, after all. :D :D

You can do better - please do. However, so far i only see me trying to do it, while you bless us with your mighty life-saving sarcasm and spiteness. I'm sure it'll save times more lives than my previous post here. Thus, i admit defeat. You, good sir, just won all the internets. ;)

Define "long time", please? Nagasaki, as far as i remember, was never completely abandoned despite being hit point-blank with a nuke, back in 1945. Most modern nuke designs are times cleaner than those used in 1945, too - in terms of fallout. Tactical nukes can also be several times less...

Seems like every last continental state of US is having it. No doubt it spreads from US all over the world through all the air lines. Currently available flu shot in UK is only 20% effective against the virus (H3N2), they say. Alabama state already declared emergency about it. Expected death...

Anyone who's capable enough to obtain couple "dead" tactical warheads is also apriori capable enough to disassemble them and then build his own "live" warhead using fission matherial from those "dead" warheads. Not personally, of course, - we talk people with enough influence to afford...

8/10. P.S. Gonzalez, in this topic we rate previously posted piece of music before posting next, on 0 to 10 scale. Like, in this case i gave 8/10 to the piece you posted, before posting next one. It helps to see how different people like or don't like music you like, and vice versa.

7/10. Not bad.

Logistics - yes. Also important long-term, though, is education. You gotta afford to send people for several years to train as narrow professionals to maintain same levels of efficiency we are running at nowadays - that requires more than just "regional" higher education systems, i suspect...

Strongly disagree about your saying "it all depends" on remaining resources and infrastructure. There's a kid's rhyme in my country which explains it quite well: Bobby found a neutron bomb Then he brought it to school Teachers were laughing a long time: School is intact, but there are no...

Yeah. I imagine it'd be very funny if some office clerk mishandles his personal pocket nuke at some point, and as a result, whole Manhattan - and much of the surrounding area - would be levelled off. Would be such an irony. Ultimate result of "Manhattan project", eh.

The group of people known under that name in Fallout games. Here's what mr. House thinks of them, by the way. P.S. This forum is much about Fallout games, didn't you know? I think you should have noticed that by now... Probably... I hope? =) Appended: Pardon my confusion, then. I already...

Most interesting opinion. How, exactly, guns "make sure" noone tries to take one's life? I am pretty sure - as far as my opinion goes, - that it's not so. Here's one concrete example of what i mean - the person who had a gun tried to use it, but was killed by officers; however, as it reported...

2/10. For the occasion of getting his 7th Grammy award, here's Randy Newman's "Putin" song (which won said award) in live version i much prefer to the official version of the song. Way to go, Randy. Way to go.
