    Bullshit strawman. The EDL are not racist. Islam is a religion not a race. You've accused me of racism. PROVE RACISM DAMN IT, or shut the hell up.

    The EDL include people of every colour, black white whatever, and one of the top organisers is an Sikh of Indian origin.

    You get some boneheads showing up at every EDL demo but those are hangers on and not the majority, furthermore the press love to show them as if they were representative of the EDL.

    Watch this by the way:

    WTF does that prove?

    So they burned a Nazi flag while anonymous. Big whoop.

    I'm not convinced. :bailey:

    Okay, I'll get in on this one.
    If you set off a Nuke a mile down, wouldn't the resultant shock wave cause a tidal wave effect ? Using a nuke is a BAD idea, as oil leaks have been spotted up to 20 miles away from the damaged pipe. All the nuke would do is wreak more destruction as well as open up more fractures in the area.
    In the meantime, the oil has reached the Gulf Stream where it will be carried around the world in about 18 months.

    I'd set a second one off in NOLA just to be sure.

    No.

    A small nuke will not cause a tidal wave.

    Also people think the bomb would be exploded on the surface of the floor. It doesn't work like that. You have to drill a shaft near the well shaft. You place the bomb in the hole (several hundred to a thousand feet down) and explode it. The fireball below ground pushes the ground around it which squeezes the well line shut. The radiation is below ground so there is none of that above ground and there is no tidal wave. You use a small nuke, sub-kiloton to 1-2 kilotons to do it (Hiroshima was 13 kilotons).

    Second the pipe could not have caused leaks up to 20 miles away. Not sure where you've heard that.

    Third oil is leaking naturally into the Gulf of Mexico. At slow rates but it's there. They've known about that for years. That's probably what accounts for the leaks 20 miles away.

    One of the TKers (and occasional poster here), Tyralak, has been acquainted with MF going back to the mid 90s.
