Before it gets out of hand.... Please remember the Forum mirepoix; keep the discussion civil/polite, stay on topic, and address the argument vs attack the arguer (ie. rule 0, rule 11, rule 12).

Well they did threaten to nuke Austin.

How far is this from Austin?

But again, why Austin? Wouldn't a larger city in Texas be a better target for the DPRK?

A theory: With three extremely enjoyable basketball teams in the other major Texas cities (the dominating San Antonio Spurs, the young, upstart Houston Rockets, and the older but still scrappy Dallas Mavericks), Un would just hate to spoil the sure-to-be-exciting Western Conference postseason.

Because at this moment, that's as good a guess as any.

Cab driver told me that the government lies to people, that he thought it was a nuke from North Korea, and that they should get geiger counters in there to measure the radiation.

Quite sure this is EXACTLY what happened.

Hey, what was the original title of this thead? I'm pretty sure that there wasn't a thread on this topic when I started my thread.

Ha! The J... Z... uh, someone must've changed it.

If the Jews are everywhere, then how come they weren't in the buildings on 9/11?

Conspiracy!

Conspiracy!

And the Hospital that the Boston Bombing suspect died in is Beth Israel Hospital. Connect the dots, Sheeple......

Hey! No fair using culinary references! Some of us find frozen orange juice a challenge...

Did'nt take long for the Jews to get blamed, I see.....

Of all the devlopments of the last couple of years, the growth in Anti Semitism is in many ways the scariest.

I'm not sure it's grown so much as the internet has allowed a lot more anti-semites to crawl out from under their rocks. Youtube and news site comment areas give them enough anonymity to say what they can't get away with saying in the real world.

 

[CORed]

Nitpick correction: the explosion wasn't in Waco, but in a small town close to Waco.

Yes, the explosion was in West, Texas, which is in east Texas.

 

[CORed]

Oh FFS isn't anything ever actually real to these people anymore?

I'm really curious as to what possible purpose the conspiratards think they would have for faking an industrial accident like this. Power grab by OSHA?

Well sure, what else would North Korea nuke besides a fertilizer plant in Texas.

That or EPA is out to find reasons for more regulation to destroy the precious "entrepreneurs".

Fertiliser dust particles reaching flashpoint?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_explosion

I imagine the explosion would be even worse if the dust was something inherently combustible, rather that something like flour dust which only becomes combustible as a dust.

I am fully expecting the conspiracy kooks who cater to the Tea Party to use that line.

 

[NightStar76]

I've been to Austin. A properly explosive nuclear weapon, with all the people evacuated, could do the place a world of good. Unfortunately, North Korean weapons are probably of the sort that give people radiation sickness and leave buildings standing.

 

[IMST]

Well sure, what else would North Korea nuke besides a fertilizer plant in Texas.

Given their expected accuracy, I'd say it was a rather good attempt to hit NYC.

Not a CT - but it has potential to get merged into one.Because this woman does live in the town:

When it blew I was on the computer and it almost knocked me out of my chair..and I'm such an idiot..my first thought was "well, that little ******* North Korean does have a bomb."
