Read this Wired article.

Quite an interesting system, made in response to Reagan’s plans for a Star Wars defence shield, the Soviet Union set up an automatic nuke-launching system, which could control all of it’s nuclear silos and destroy the world (ie. strategically aim to hit most of the land on Earth such that most people would die and a nuclear winter would follow) in the event that nuclear explosions were detected and communication with the Soviet military command has been lost.

The interesting thing is, the system is designed to launch regardless of who initiates the first attack – be it USA or SU. The system was designed not only as a deterrent to the Americans, but also to any Soviet leader who could be contemplating starting a nuclear war.

Now there’s some pretty epic self control!

Probably the best CollegeHumor video I’ve seen ever.

This shit is legal in America? Lol fail

I cannot overstate the stupidity of those Americans whom oppose public healthcare. Perhaps they should go and live in a 3rd world country – they would feel right at home there, as every single developed country has public healthcare…except of course USA – if you want to consider it a developed country. Hell even several developing countries have public healthcare…words simply cannot express how stupid these Americans are, letting corporations and corrupt politicians screw them over and make them believe public healthcare is actually a bad thing.

Also, lol

These people should probably be rounded up and stuck in hard labour camps, as they aren’t intelligent enough to vote.
