terrorists won't be using nukes. if you're worried that terrorist will obtain a "suitcase nuke", you're an absolute moron.

Well, in all fairness to the AP, most people in the U.S. would be happy to give them a few pointers on where best to plant a nuke in California.

Californians produce less waste, have more recycle programs, use less power, and so forth per person than ANY other state in the nation.

And we have the Governator.

You haters can kiss my ass.

Kudos.

And we have the Governator.

For this I send my condolences.

UMm, anywhere.

Snow Monkey: Californians produce less waste, have more recycle programs, use less power, and so forth per person than ANY other state in the nation.

Thats why we want you to blow up. bragging asshat.

Like the terrorists (and google) didn't already know how to get this information. (pops)

I find it amusing when people thing that someone is going to nuke their town. On 9/11 I was in a tiny ass town in western NC and someone was crying because she was concerned her town was going to get nuked. There are like 300 million peeps in the US and your target is going to be a freaking down of 537?

If the AP DID hate America, how would they have reported that story differently?

/scary to think about.

openfry

Well, they were considering NYC ports for their report, but they realized that nuking New York would be nothing but an act of spring cleaning.

I do believe this falls squarely under the category of "not-news".

Please let them nuke Fairfield. Its the slums for the Bay Area, not even Oakland is as bad as that place. Or LA for that matter, because there probably already immune to radiation and the citys girth would just absorb the blast anyway.

24 gave this away already. Blame Kiefer. Why fault the AP?

And what's with concealing Breitbart behind a "Some Guy" submission?

Sorry for trying to set a GOOD example for "you" guys. It's not bragging when it's true, and we (ALL of us) can do better if we really tried.

You know how annoying it is to see someone post some BS about how wasteful, lazy, worthless, snobbish, etc Californias are every time it comes up on Fark?

I've got news for you, NY isnt the center of the universe, your farm in Podunk, Idaho isnt under imminent threat of (foreign) Terrorist attack.

So, asshat: Kiss. My. Ass.

...lol. I think you got fairfield mixed up w/ Vallejo.

*not reading the article yet until i put in one guess*

the santa fe dam

I think I'm gonna remove my front door... So long as the media never does a story about it (and why would they?) no one will ever think to rob my house.

In fact, I think I'm gonna stop using condoms too... I mean, as long as it's not printed in the Jew York Times, my semen will never realize it could hook up with an egg.

I work the the media and I hate these kind of stories. It shows the industry wide lack of common sense when it comes to "should we or should we not show/print this story?"

And I nearly forgot, Gene Hackman gave away a far more deadly plan involving nukes and California in Superman.

Don't talk to me about Gene Hackman.

Yeah.. wouldnt a bomb in New York be worse? I think it would kill a few million immedialely, and just possibly cause more than 10x the cost of the trade center damage. Or Washinton DC. thats where the national govt resides you know. but I guess these are the west coast terrorists, theyre having a feud with the east coast terrorists

i love california, its the place my family chose to come to when we immigrated, theres lots of land, beauty, large climate range, great wealth, and great institutions

i love the fact that there is more people in LA than in most states, but that it might be a target for terrorism, not so much

still i'm more than happy to live here, albiet just a little bit outside the effect radius

Skinink:

Please, we're talking Jack Bauer. NOTHING is impossible!

He's died for his country what, twice now?



"We've found the nuke!"

shiat. i had a conversation with a friend just yesterday and he thought ports were more of a target than the dam.

you could destroy the entire san joaquin watershed with a dam nuke. it would be like wiping out the entire midwest from an agricultural standpoint (not an exaggeration). and what you lose in civilian casualties on the front end you get back on the back end tenfold in riots when major cities don't have drinking water.

Dibs on Arizona Bay

If they nuked the Port of New Orleans how would anyone tell?

Snargi - I work the the media and I hate these kind of stories. It shows the industry wide lack of common sense when it comes to "should we or should we not show/print this story?"

Thank you for an interesting contribution from an insider's perspective... but that wastebasket isn't going to empty itself, Skippy.

Back to work.

How about Berkeley? At least it would help get rid of some of those liberals...

/just a thought

OriginalGamer:

Pzactly.

"How about Berkeley?"

Nah, Not unless it could be one of those, Neutron bombs, or something.

I'll refer you to my profile.

Yes, California sucks and is likely to be nuked at any second. All of you should stay far far away from it.

/please?

Fark It - Wow, just,... wow.

Are you suggesting that a lightning rod peddler is predicting bad weather? :)

ZenGuru How about Berkeley? At least it would help get rid of some of those liberals...

I take it your handle is supposed to be hillariously ironic then ?

Ok good.. I'm in hollywood.. I'm safe.. and My ex lives in long beach so.. seems like a win-win to me..



/not bitter
//Ok mabey a little..
///But I'm ok with it the bitterness is good..
////Wait Alex's bar is in Long Beach.. and I like that place.. hmmm..

1) terrorist gets nuke
2) terrorist regularly reads AP stories
3) terrorist doesn't know a good place to detonate a nuke

If 1) and 2) are true, I don't think 3) is true.

iamrobot

you could destroy the entire san joaquin watershed with a dam nuke

If you want to do that, why bother targeting someplace full of people? It would be MUCH easier to bomb Hoover or Glen Canyon and wreck not only the San Joaquin watershed, but also the feeder system for Vegas.

This is only a "big bad scary" idea if you're too dumb to figure out even worse case scenarios.

If they nuked the Port of New Orleans how would anyone tell?

After 9/11, a friend of mine from L.A. was (sarcastically) lamenting that they should have struck LAX, because it's the only way to get it remodeled.

I submit that you are a Montanian faking being in California's Central Valley to be one of the 'cool kids'. =D

Now that would be irony, or maybe just a conicidence. Berkeley being destroyed by the very weapon it helped invent.

At my friends house, one of his windows had a broken lock. Anyone could just lift it up and climb in. Nobody did though, because nobody knew except me and him. If I was a journalost, I'd have published the address and which window it was. Nobody thinks you're smart because you know how to hurt yourself. You don't hear Muslims using the press to warning Al Qaeda that such and such mountain isn't a good enough hiding place for Bin Laden.

and noit takes the thread IQ down a few points...

noit "You don't hear Muslims using the press to warning Al Qaeda that such and such mountain isn't a good enough hiding place for Bin Laden."


Exactly.

At the VERY LEAST ... we shouldn't be making their jobs easier. The 'opposition research' done to the terrorists benefit by reporters is astounding. So maybe a nuke does not go off there, you'd think that some stories might not get reported on, because someone would think to themselves if this is good to further publicize or not.

According to the statistics I have just pulled out of my ass more terrorists read FARK than the AP. So is the submitter guilty of helping the terrorists?

Pretty much every single James Bond movie gives away a spectacular terrorist plot.

Abagadro: A large number of them are engineers and physicians.

And lacking the skills required to build an atomic bomb. Nevermind all the required materials. It takes a bit more than some uranium or plutonium to make an atomic bomb.

Anyone who thinks this story gives anyone any informtaion not previously available and easily available at that, needs serious help.
