Well, a landslide off a certain island off the coast of Afrika causing a tsunami would definitely royally fuck up anyone living on the eastern coast of the US. That, and Yellowstone blowing up.

The worst is happening right now: Censorship. Since Janet Jackson flopped her tit out at the Super Bowl, the twisted thought police fucks are steamrolling their agenda to make sure popular entertainment doesn't go beyond Sesame Street.

Last night, I heard Steve Miller's "Jet Airplane" on a classic rock station, and for the first time in over 25 years, I heard the word "shit" bleeped.

Are you serious? They bleeped the "funky shit goin' down in the city?"

Fucking assholes. And did you notice that Janet Jackson was blacklisted, told not to perform at the Grammies, etc. but Timberlake was still an A-list guest and performer at those same Grammies? Nice double-standard

Yup. I was driving down the freeway, headbanging with my cool 80's mullet, singing along...and nearly slammed on the brakes!

Mel Karmazan, BMoC at CBS/Infinity and fresh from his ass-rape over the whole Superbowl bit, has sent out memos that any radio personality or DJ that is FINED by the FCC (not found guilty, but FINED) that person will be fired, along with the program director and general manager.

Howard Stern this morning was of course, furious. He's testing new words for "penis" like "apparatus"

And about a week ago, be was bleeping in Philadelphia for saying "pee-hole" !!!

Yeah, and that was only if he "apologized". I can't believe we're in the 21st century. CBS has ordered a soon to be released TV movie about Charles Manson re-edited because of this crap.

A mutated Reston or Zaire strain of Ebola that could easily take down half of America, especially if it was an intentional release. It's all well and good to theorize about super-bugs, but hemorrhagic fevers like Ebola already exist are and probably the scariest fucking things known to man.

Someone getting elected President and decided to deliberately screw things up.

I mean, Bush is bad, but at least he's TRYING to do good.

Imagine the impact someone could do in that office if they wanted to do lots of damage to the US and/or the world.

I'd pick for worst thing that could happen to the US, a nuclear weapon being activated over a major US city. This is not so much because of the attack itself, though it would be terrible, but the response. I'm sure if one of our cities got nuked, the government is not going to bother with an investigation, or try not to hurt innocent civilians, and just start nuking every country that was even suspected of being against the US. This will be the most feared and reviled nation in all of history within 24 hours of an American city being nuked.

uhhhh.. you want to restate that? are you saying the US would be the most feared and reviled nation in history if it uses nukes to defend itself against a nuclear attack, or the attacking nation would be feared and reviled?

Wow, that little gem of sarcasm went right over your head.

I guess so. YEA! I finally got my quote feature to work correctly!

I don't think so; Ebola kills too quickly to cause that much damage.

1. Disease epedemic. Lives would be lost, and I could imagine every part of the economy except the surgical mask companies would be harmed from the panic.

2. Financial collapse on the level of the Great Depression or greater.

3. Nuclear bomb detonated in US city. There would be the lost lives and harm to many businesses. I could imagine the effect it would have on society and the economy would be similar to what 9/11 did, but far, far greater.

4. Extended blackout.

5. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez making another movie.

The incubation period is up to three weeks and the early symptoms are similar to flu. The standard Zaire strain couldn't propogate that quickly, but an airborne variant like Reston (known strains only effects Monkeys, but Ebola mutates into different strains quite easily) or an airborne variant of Zaire could easily spread and kill millions in that time.

Heh, I bet he wouldn't get a single bill through Congress. Sure, he could do a lot of stupid stuff, like say withdrawing all US military units from abroad, but there are worse things. Well, maybe not for South Korea, but for the US.

Thats absolute bullshit! Theres no reason to pull crap like this. So fucking what if most of the America got to see a little glimpse of her tit. Its not like we haven't seen them before. Thats why the internet and channels like Showtime and HBO are so popular. Hell, in the pilot episode of Stargate SG-1, you got to see a full frontal of Sha'Re (preserved on the DVD, but removed in the Scifi Channel ver.) Fucking asshole puritans.

I was not referring to the US government carefully investigating who or what nuked one of our cities, then responding in kind. I was referring to a US city being destroyed and later the same day, the US going absolutely apeshit, and wasting the capitals of every country known or suspected of being against us, even if they had nothing to do with the destruction of our city.
