Very worrying - Middle east

[oxford_fan]

I'll tell you who I blame! That smarmy faced kid off of the frosties adverts.

He's dead if I ever see him :x

they're guna taste great!

that ad is jokes, i like his hand gestures at the end.

The fruit pastel advert with its attempt at urban cool (what ever the fuck that is anyway) really is the fucking lowest of the low.

its fucking killa kela doing it too, probably the best beatboxer in the world. i'm going to pelt him with fruit pastilles if i see him again.

Will nukes being used in the Middle East really have any effect here though?

[pauld]

Yes. Remember the (by comparison) small explosion at Chernobyl affected sheep farming in Wales and Cumbria, any reasonable size nuclear exchange in the Middle East could have serious consequences for the whole of Western Europe in terms of contamination, hideous diseases for the next several generations etc. Of course, that's assuming we don't get dragged into the conflict anyway - US/UK troops in the region are well within range of most mid-range missiles, and Iran has missiles which can hit a fair bit of Western Europe. So yeah, it could have a bit of an effect, which is why we all need to worry about this. And why "Huuh, huuh, let em nuke each other" is, sadly, not really an option

[Leggett]

yes. if nukes get involved, we're shagged pretty much. as pesimistic as it sounds, its the truth. if israel gets hit, the US will wade in, we will get dragged into it (whether we like it or not... we're a target whether or not we actually attack anyone, due to the US bases we house, the situation in iraq and our close 'friendship' with the yanks), and i'd imagine china/north korea will flex their nuclear muscles too. just saying 'fuck it, let em kill eachother' is so fucking ignorant.

With all this talk of nukes, evryone seems to have forgotten that the only country over there with them is israel.  Jordan and Eygpt simply won't get involved militarily, Syria would be petrefied of entering into a full scale war so will just use Hezbollah to fight a small scale one, and Iran could only ever send over a few token missiles before having Tehran bombed into rubble in a matter of minutes.  That's not to say that the world, and the middle east in particular, isn't fucked.  This will all start to die down when Israel feels they've killed enough innocent civilians to get there own back.

[McLovin]

I wasn't trying to be facetious, I genuinely don't know if nuclear missiles in the Middle East would physically effect us in the UK. Oh and i know nothing about Chernobyl either.

I've never really been inclined to protest against any wars, but if we do eventually end up siding with the US and Israel, I'll be most disappointed and angry.

I bet that Pete fella from Big brother's got a hand in it too.He's got a gob shites haircut, he wears stupid sudent hippy clothes and he's got the most boring tourettes in the world.I mean all those excellent swear words which can be put together in any manner of humorous ways and all he can manage is pulling tosspotty faces and shouting wankers.He gets followed around by a mental with a granny face, a chav, and some comedy breasted tart from Atomic mutton, and pretends he doesn't know what's goin' on.

 WANKER!

Don't get me started on that Richard fella...I got a lift off Sonic youth once so I've nothing against bummers but this guy should be arrested :x

We - the United Kingdon - effectively created the modern state of Israel anyway when we pulled out in 1947 because we couldn't stop the Jews and the Arabs fighting even back then...

I'm not sure I can see the link, spacey, though I think the world might be a better place with you in charge.

The situation started in the late 40's I thought with the systematic removal of palestinians from their homeland??

 The siituation developed in Biblical pre history.

Except, of course, there's really no evidence of a solely Jewish state/homeland even in biblical times. (trust me, I'm an archaeologist). All evidence points to the fact that the area at the eastern end of the mediterranean was always shared between Jewish people, Arabs and others.

You know...Pete and the kid from the frosties advert! The evil doers.

 I wouldn't worry about anything too much, I saw some clips on the news last night and there was a guy in the background wearing a vest and chewing on a cigar.If I've learnt anything from action movies then he's the guy who'll sort it all out

My dad is in the milk industry and some of the milk the cows were pumping out couldnt be sold cos of the levels of radiation, most was just below the threshold. my mum was pregnant at the time and had to water down milk powder so my sis would come out with 1 eye. (sounds like dave)
