North Korea Missile Fails After 35 Seconds

Im shaking in my boots...

but seriously, is this country honestly scared about this ****? We have much more serious things to be worried about, like the oil crisis or global warming.

I agree with GM.

They're just testing.

If they cant test their weapons, why does any other country have any more right than they do?

Either all nations are allowed to test, or none are.

Simple as that.

Yes, they are communist. Yes, they have missles. Woo hoo.

Way to promote equality in saying they cant test, while your own country does.

I agree. Hey, let's let the Germans test things too. And better yet, they don't have to go public, it can be private tests!!! **** sanctions and restrictions. Let's have a free-for-all test-fest. If your country wants to test some nukes, **** getting permission, just test them! wooohooooooo.

And who said anything about a nuke?

As far as I know North Korea tested missles, not nuclear bombs.

You're comparing apples to hockey sticks here.

I like golden delicious ones, thank you much.

The one Taepodong-2 missile that failed 35 seconds after launch could carry a nuclear payload.

And lets for a minute totally forget about North Korea testing these missiles. They have one of the worst human rights track records in the world. North Korea has confirmed slave labor camps with at least 150,000 inmates. Women inside the camps are forced to have abortions if they become pregnant. There are reports that chemical weapons have been used on those in the labor camps. Of course this is all hard to confirm because North Korea is a completely closed society. Citizens are only allowed to travel from city to city if they have a special pass. Famine has killed around three million people in North Korea in the past ten years because the KWP concentrates all of their government funds on weapons and not on feeding their starving people.

For one thing they're insane and don't value free societies. Also they don't follow any of the proper testing procedures such as notifying watercraft and planes to stay out of the testing zone.

MrCoffee · 07-05-2006, 01:20 PM

You can't JUST TEST when you test:
1.Without telling anyone
2.Without Permission
They fired two misile that could have been aimed at Japan or States, basically they are giving the message "Yeah were testing out misiles so we can blow the **** out of one of you...we just dont wanna tell you who *winks at US* to be honest I am glad I live in Canada...

What oil crisis? Global warming?

There is no oil crisis. Rich influential people are benefiting off of you having to pay tons of money for gas. Anyone that tells you an alternative source of fuel is not an option is bullsh!tting you and is most likely a politician, or the head of some major company. Crisis implicates that we are going to run out, and be screwed. We won't. They will milk you as long as they can, until you're possibly paying 5 or 6 dollars a gallon. Then, when we are on the brink of riots or running out, they will make the shift. It's not that the industry is afraid of making a shift, it's that the people running the industry like money.

And global warming is environmentalist propaganda crap.

Having to go to war with the world's 4th largest land army = bad times.

That's quite an interesting economic theory that I have a hard time perscribing to.

The products that commpanys put forth are dependent on what people will buy and what they will pay for it. While almost everyone is currently complaining about gas prices (including myself) most people are still willing to pay the "high" price (compared to Europe gas is still extremely cheap here). The day when the people are unwilling to pay for gas will be the day that innovation takes place. It's not the other way around.

KillerGremlin · 07-04-2006, 11:01 PM

I agree, and I guess I didn't make it clear, so my bad, but I never said people were complaing now. I did say when people are rioting they will make the shift. The companies could make the shift now, they just choose not to. While I dislike throwing 45 dollars away every week, it's not the bane of my existance. It's just lame knowing that there's a solution around the corner and no one is going to tap it. Hence, no crisis.

Substitutes for gas are already in development mainly for environmental purposes, not so much for the money. But i agree, once the gas price gets too high people will see the economic opportunity and jump at it
