When You see the White Flash Duck and Cover...Nuclear Safety for Children

Feb 07, 2007 23:58

Seriously...no wonder my parent's generation were scared silly...and yet, good luck with the covering yourself with a newspaper. Yep, that'll help.

*L* One of our profs showed this to us...it made me laugh :) Worth a watch!

We feel so powerless to do anything about it - years and years of protests seem to have had little or no effect - that we've decided there's no point worrying about it.
If some idiot decides to start an all-out nuclear war, well, we'll just have to die a bit sooner than we'd planned.

Hmmm....yes, I think you're right. It's not like it's something the average person has any control of at all...either it'll come or it won't and there's no point in dwelling on something so beyond our control.

'Sometimes the bomb might explode without a warning!'

How many times did they think this was going to happen? *cries a little*

Yes...well. I do like the two classifications though: "With warning" and "without warning"

IT DOESN'T MATTER THAT EITHER WAY YOU ARE GOING TO DIE!!!

Uhm sorry.

Watch Cabin Fever That will give you a nice healthy fear of flesh-eating viruses. Fear of nukes is so 60s. Bioterror is where it's at! =)

I saw that in theatres! A little too typical horror for me though :)

whoa. That's really interesting.Funny/sad...

But I think that hidden bombs in our mail, auditoriums and airplanes might be the modern equivalent.

This is true! They're certainly more personal anyway.

Not really. We're just better informed as to the destructive power of nuclear weaponry. And we've seen more explosions.

Here's a scary thought. You know in the early 1900s the health-nut cause du jour was radioactive bottled water?

*L* That surprises me not at all.

I just hope not too many people died from it though :(
