stop now bendix and pick on someone your own size.

it's like watching a baby hedgehog trying to cross the M1.

It's just weird how this website attracts so many people who have fixated on the ridiculous conspiracy views on 2-3 American nutters and can't see how it's all such nonsense.

And then - get this - they call those who aren't enlightened by Alex Jones 'blinkered'. Oh the irony.

What on earth makes their lives so empty that they need to cling to this nonsense?

it is quite revealing that someone who thinks that a meltdown would cause the melted core to burn its way to the centre of the earth is also a silver freak.

The UK is near as dam it the other side of the world to Japan. Would it come out exploding anywhere near us?

I know its not good to joke about something so serious.

It just highlights how unstable and dangerous nuclear power is, you cant just turn it off.

Do you take some perverse pride in coming across as a fool? Putting aside the utter ridiculousness of the idea, the antipodes of Japan is just off the coast of Brazil.

I can't believe I'm even dignifying your nonsense with a post . . .

i get a thrill from minority ideas pitted against the general consensus. the smaller the minority the greater the dopamine response my end. only if it's a good idea however. poshbird is just being blinded by really really bad science. and life is too short.

Agreed. No science at all.

It's almost wishful thinking - it's very interesting, from a psychological point of view how these people latch onto an idea promulgated by nutters like Jones, and then everything he says is the gospel, so much so that their entire worldview, investment strategy and lifestyle is consumed by it.

First smeagold, now poshbird.

Oh, for a return to Socratic education.

Nice new signature by the way.

You would have thought a clever bloke like Einstein might have treated us to a comma or two.
