What would you do if you were President of the United States and had to make this choice?

Scientists have discovered a meteor that is headed towards the earth. They have calculated that it will strike France in 2 days, at approximately 2:30 A.M. The meteor is large enough to completely wipe France from the face of the earth forever.

France and the United Nations have requested that the United States send all available ships and aircraft to help evacuate the country. Among the ships and planes you could be sending are many that are being used to fight the war on terror overseas.

As the President, you must decide: Do you...

A) Stay up late on the night of the impact to watch the coverage live?

B) Tape it and watch it in the morning?

I would bring it to the U.N. Security council for "proof of this weapon of mass destruction".

Then if the resolution looked like it was going to pass.......

not a problem, put the un in charge of deciding if there is a real threat.
i'm sure they will decide that nothing needs to be done and there is no threat.
france won't have a problem abiding by that decision, will they?

Being tired and not in a laughing mood. I'd send all the ships and planes, and watch it on TV. But wait, why can't the Frenchies to go to Germany or Italy or France or something, why the US help?

Congratulations Java, you are the only person in this thread that I have any respect for. I find this whole thread, even the joke about it, amazingly disgusting. To attack someone/defend yourself in the line of duty, but to say we should let innocents die because the country didn't want to attack Iraq...that puts you somewhere between a snail and the white stuff that forms at the corners of your mouth when you get really thirsty.

Don't get me wrong, I like K9Trooper and often respect his opinions, but I'm going to voice my opinions too, even if they conflict with his.

And it only took you a month to grow enough backbone to say it.

Good for you!

Do you really think I would ever let innocents die, considering I care enough about law and order, and innocents to serve for 6 years in the Navy?

I was speaking sarchastically .....aw nevermind. You didn't get it the first time, you won't the second. Maybee you and Duke could get together for dinner or something, and pretend you have a grip on geopolitical events.

you say that but if someone jokes about killing someone else you'd flip out, fire them and/or throw them in jail. at schools in america you can get expelled just for saying "I will beat you down" to one of your friends if the wrong person overhears it. But you're right, it's ok because it's the French.

and that is another thing wrong with america today!
too many people getting offended by stupid things!

mascots throughout the country are being changed because they have an american indian theme. school team names being changed because they are named after some group in history which was renowned for being fierce(vikings, titans etc)
boyscout troops named after famous men being renamed because that famous man fought for the south in the civil war.
a navy jet outside a school in california not being welcome because it is improper

there are many stories like this going on throughout usa and uk which are really making me sick! too many people being offended for every little thing.
when i was a kid, there were "custer's last stand" jokes. people died there too, didn't make the joke less funny.

people in this country need to stop feeding the politically correct trolls and lighten up before we end up with a country of mindless morons too afraid to say or write anything because someone's feelings may get hurt.

It's true. The world is becoming more and more "politically correct", but by doing this, the world also contridicts their own laws. The Freedom of Speech and expression take a wierd little twist when something is said that people don't like. I find it kind of funny how people are able to sue for slander, when it could simply be someone else's opinion, which is within the law.

Then we have those people who flinch when the word "nigger" is said. It's even more so strange how it's the white people that seem to take more offense to it whenever the word is spoken. At least, thats what I've noticed from my own personal experiance. Of course, this is just an example, but people are gradually getting more and more tard-warriorish and soon we'll end exactly as you say: "Afraid to say or write anything".

You failed to actually read it yourself. :rolleyes: I would have expected someone who was going to try to correct the thread to be correct himself.

It says "The meteor is large enough to completely wipe France from the face of the earth forever." The meteor was just big enough to destroy an area the size of France.

The largest a meteor can be is 330 feet, anything larger then this is considered an Asteroid. So even the largest meteor couldn't wipe out the world. Something this size would create around the area of 100 megatons, and beable to wipe out an area the size of a large city/small state (Most of France would be gone...).

I'm against political correctness. I personally find the word "caucasian" offense and utterly retarded. My point is I'm sick of idiots like you starting shit up with countries because you dont believe in their political points. A country doesn't want to go to war...then tough shit. Ever since the moment they said no to the war, you idiots have done nothing but ridicule them. If you want, I can compile a list of threads that you guys have started against the French.

I thanks the stars every night that our president isn't as dumb as you. Even if he thinks as you think...at least he's not retarded enough to try start shit with them. If anything needs to be destroyed, I'd say it's your house while you're asleep inside.
