Geez, what's with all those rotten dictators.......Korea has released a statement stating any sanctions against the state will be seen as a declaration of war............

AOL released the following statement-

South Korea's military was reportedly preparing for nuclear conflict as rival North Korea warned that an international push for tighter sanctions over its atomic weapons test would be an act of war.

A North Korean official based in Beijing said: "Sanctions are nonsense. If full-scale sanctions take place, we will regard it as a declaration of war.

Geez...........Nuclear war??????? ..........didn't they learn anything from Hiroshima next door!...............

Keep world peace in your prayers until this whole sorry mess has been resolved.......and if you speak to your angels ask them to pull some strings..............war is appalling......but nuclear war is unthinkable ........people need to wise up!!!........

with me.
There is no need for war.

The only use I can see for
Nuclear weapons is
if there was a big asteroid or something heading for
earth to preserve the earth.

There really is no other reason.

We are only destroying each other.
Which is really, really absurd.

We have such a beautiful planet why wreck it?.

[fluffy]

It would totally destroy the planet.............geez,losing so many lives, so much beauty, so much potential..........shit, the testing is bad enough

I seem to say this every week now.....the world's gone mad!

[fluffy]

it's gotta be hot air.........no-one would be THAT stupid surely???......

Now I just heard something on the radio....a seismologist saying that the tremors recorded from North Korea suggest the explosion was not big enough to be a nuclear/atomic one!
Do you think they are bluffing? We all know how propaganda is a powerful force. Especially in restricted societies like North Korea. Hmm....

[fluffy]

who knows?? the seismologist might be on the Bush payroll, told to play it down to stop mass hysteria it's crazy in this day and age.....countries should be trying to save lives, not working out how to anniilate them......

fluffy

[Niobe]

Now you are a true cynic...."the seismologist might be on the Bush payroll"!!!

From what I recall.....I doubt he was genuine enough. But then again....

[Niobe]

I quote:

"UNITED NATIONS, OCTOBER 10: The test done by North Korea appears to have been a nuclear detonation but was fairly small by traditional standards and possibly a failure or a partial success."

That's actually suggesting a nuclear explosion......but not a very successful one....

[fluffy]

bugger.......so it was a nuclear detonation..oh joy, just what we need, a lunatic with the bomb..i'd best start stocking up on tinned food and practising my 'duck and hide' manouver......lol..

fluffy

[Niobe]

Panic not. A test of that level of success does warrant a global threat, I say.

Hey, has anyone here ever seen that film 'Blast From The Past'??? Let's all go bury ourselves in a bunker whatever happens.....

[fluffy]

nope........but i've seen 'the day after' and 'threads'...
gotta keep smiling folks.......

fluffy

[Niobe]

Well, I don't think you can compare the traumatic 'Threads'......with the humourous comedy 'Blast From The Past'. Though there is a central theme.

You see, what you have to bear in mind......it's very easy to depress yourself with the state of the world these days. But, if we worry ourselves too much over every bad bit of press we'd drive ourselves to an early grave.

North Korea are bonkers, but you can't lose sleep over it.

I'm not being flippant; I'm just a 'glass half full' kinda gal!

[fluffy]

..it's ok Niobe, i'm actually with you on that one, i confess i was hamming it up a bit ..ultimately i'd like to think i have faith in basic human values......there's too much to be grateful for...

I'll have mine between two slices of bread with a dashing of mustard please!
