I searched around for more information about gamma ray bursts, and I found some articles discussing the bursts and the possibility of danger to life on earth:

Fyron that is just cold man. Cold. I rated him 5 some time ago and stand by it. And Narf, there will be no hammer lending here! We use mallets.

Puke... you're someone that want to appologize the actions of your stupid leaders by saying:

" hey! we're not so bad if the Europeans did it a few centuries back."

Its the AGE OLD EXCUSE the Nazis used... "please don't blame me for killing all those jews... I was ordered to do it"

Or the murderer:"Don't blame me for killing them, It's in my NATURE, its in my blood... I couln't help it"

Way to go You really convinced me that the actions of your beloved county were justified with that. yeah right...

I mean come on watch something else besides CNN and FOX. Talk to other people, ask someone from Iraq what he/she thinks about Bush or someone from Europe for that matter or India or China or whatever.... don't take my word for it, take the worlds word.

If then you'll still think that the majority of the world approves pf what you are doing I'll take all I said back.

By your logic its ok that you killed off all those native americans because HEY... they had mass graves of their own. And its ok that you killed something like 50k of Iraqi soldiers in the two gulf wars because hey... their leaders were killing them anyway so lets kill a whole bunch more and we'll make it all better for them.

But since this board is dominated by people from the US I didn't even think for one minute you'll be able to see past the mistakes your country is making these days....

cheers

P.S.: Its too bad really you people could learn from the mistakes European countries made all those centuries ago when they tried to divide the world between themselves. But no... you have to have it the hard way. Ok fine by me We'll see how things stand in 200 years ... lol

*dogscoff uses his stellar manip components to trigger a black hole event in the middle of the thread. Those people actually reading the thread for the on-topic stuff are prepared for the burst of Gamma radiation and manage to shield themselves in time. Everyone else is too busy discussing politics to notice and gets fried instantly. Sorry guys.

One thing about this whole black hole sterilisation theory is that it assumes that alien life-forms are as (un)resistant to radiation as humans. There could be life forms out there that would are highly resistant to this stuff and would therefore survive.

Interesting how you read what you wanted to hear out of Puke's post, and not what he actually posted JurijD. Though, I suppose that was to be expected.
