Yep, when it comes down to it I want to go home. I have always said that if we were attacked they would probably bomb Wichita, Ks., which is 2 hours west of me, and that I would drive as fast as I could toward Wichita. Why wait for the fallout to blow my way? I would prefer to spend up what was going to happen anyway.
...I really can't say what I will do till something happens, but do know that He is with me, and I know as you said that to die is gain. PRAISE THE LORD!!

Attacked by whom? MAYBE Wichita would have gottten hit if the US and the USSR had gone to town with their missiles during the Cold War, but that's not the reality of nuclear weapons anymore.
Actually, that's my nuclear disaster plan. Drive as fast as possible into Philadelphia in the hopes of being reduced to my base atoms quickly and efficiently.
No, what'll happen is, your cabin wil be carried off by a whrlwind, and it'll land on top of a witch in a brightly coloured land full of short people.
Okay genius, if a bomb hits, and you drive two hours to get the the fallout, you're bascially just going to get yourself a case of radiation sickness, which will lead to a slow, painful, degenerative death.
"Yep, when it comes down to it I want to go home."That's a good idea. Go home!
"I have always said that if we were attacked they would probably bomb Wichita, Ks.,"
Who are "they."
Wichita may be nice, but it hardly strikes me as a top strategic target.
"which is 2 hours west of me, and that I would drive as fast as I could toward Wichita. Why wait for the fallout to blow my way?"
Fallout won't blow you away. It may give you radition poisoning and cause you to linger painfully wishing for death, but it won't blow you away.
"I would prefer to spend up what was going to happen anyway."
Speed up, maybe?
Well, why wait for nuclear war when you could simply drink bleach and jump off a cliff?
"...I really can't say what I will do till something happens,"
So, you were just blowing wind in that last paragraph, internet tough-guy?
"but do know that He is with me,"
How do you know that for sure?
"and I know as you said that to die is gain. PRAISE THE LORD!!"
Well, if you KNOW that, what are you waiting for. Surely there is a train coming soon or some lye you could eat.
Yes, because on the list of all the important cities filled with landmarks, national monuments, and important government buildings, Wichita is number one. [/sarcasm]
They'd need to develop civilization first...
In the late'80 my father comforted me by saying that the important harbour Rotterdam was very near to our place of living and thus, in an nuclear war, we would die without much suffering. I find it very sad that this kind of 'doom thinking' (with a manic, nihilistic twist) survived without reason in fundies in the year 2007.
See, this is how Bush got so many votes from these people. They're paranoid the terrorists are going to strike there next even though East Coast cities like Washington or New York are much higher targerts due to their political and economic importance. Kansas exports corn. Ohhhh, big deal.
@Old Viking
Sioux City is also on the hit list.
Kansas made sense as a bombing target for the Soviets, because of the heavy concentration of missile silos there. It doesn't make quite as much sense for terrorists, though they'd probably succeed in freaking out Middle America, at least those left who aren't afraid of going to the mall or sending their kids to school
I can see the news footage now. "Dear lord! It's nothing but an empty wasteland, oh the humanity, I...What? It was a dud? Well then how do you explain the vast areas of...Oh, right! Kansas. I don't know what I was thinking."
Kansas has nuclear missile silos, but they're nowhere near Wichita. They're out in BFE, Kansas (which is pretty much the rest of the state, but you get the idea).
While I can't say I blame this person for wanting a fairly quick and painless death* verses a lingingering and painful one, I'm a little disturbed by the martyr mindset: dying is great !
Haha. Everytime I see this post I have a little giggle, I mean, Wichita ???? I can just see Osama and co. standing around, mulling over which US cities to blow up, considering what would have the biggest impact not just in America but around the world:
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
