I can just imagine the silence in those pictures. Just open land and ruins, and you can't go near them or you can get a nasty dose of radiation.

The whole part about Magic Wood made me want to see a picture of the forest glowing red with gamma radiation, and how noone can go there, even now because it's deadly even though it looks fine now is really Forbidden Land! sounding.

Ye dare not go into thee Magic Woods, it is cursed and will take yer life!

Plus you can't go into the graveyard in the GhostTown....is she sure that it's because they buried radioactive carbon in there? Maybe carbon in the form of radiated firefighters and plant workers buried. Or maybe the corpses are radiated gamma zombies who will wake up to eat your brains if you get too close.

Wouldn't it be messed up if people were doing this intentionally? Wouldn't that be against the "rules"? You may find this just as informative as the Chernobyl piece;

WARNING VERY STRONG & DISTURBING CONTENT

Poisoning the People

Disturbing indeed.
Pity they didn't include the pictures of the Kurds getting gassed by the Iraq government after the 1st gulf war. Or those pics of the victims of numerous torture chambers & rape rooms that were part of the Baghdad inner power circle.
Oh wait, they didn't have access to them did they?. My bad.

We (the US) gave them those chemicals. That was sort of our fault. We gave them to Iraq to help fight Iran. Give a kid a lighter. . .he'll burn something. We provided Saddam with all the chemicals he could ever need. OMG he used them?!?! Well, uh we didn't think he would use them on his own people. We just thought he would use them on Iran.

Yeah, they weren't the nicest folks on the planet. I'm definitely not going to debate whether someone "deserves" this or not. I don't see how any child deserves to be killed or poisoned. But that's war and that's just the way it goes. Loss of civilian life is expected and tolerated. "Rules of War" have always made me chuckle. Where is the Ref? The UN? Laugh. The US recently told them all to take a flying leap.

"He threw a rock and killed that guy. So, I picked up a boulder and dropped it on his family." Yes, American justice. Gotta love it. Our government believes that no matter what. . .the end truly justifies the means no matter the cost. It just get's me that everyone is so against using biological weapons and blah blah. But here we are (the US) doing just that. If radiation isn't a biological weapon. . .I don't know what is.

It's against international law for us to do this. It's against the law to knowingly infect people like that. That's why I found it interesting. It's poisoning entire races of people with radiation knowingly. "Because they did it first." Some people actually think there has never been a nuclear war. In fact there have been several in terms of mass quantities of nuclear waste loaded into missles. I think most believe if there wasn't a million pound ICBM launched, it wasn't a nuclear war. Dangerous to think that way IMHO.

It must be Shock and Awe and totally visible or it's not a real war. Uh huh.

In the end, screw the people. Look what we are doing to the planet! Without it, all this war and fighting is pointless and futile. As if it isn't already in many cases.

Wow that's sad. And there is not much we can do about it either.

although i dont know how much depleted uranium really effects this or if these statistics are even true, this guys flash animations are really, what could be the word, provoking. maybe i could have used a better word but eh.

i dont know if i like the idea of depleted uranium being used over there but the depleted in the title has to mean something.

if azrael was around im sure he could answer that.

anyone check out the host site to that flash?


[sarcasm] looks like a reliable source to me [/sarcasm]


heres some info from a REAL source, the Federation of American Scientists:

http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/docs/b04151999_bt170-99.htm

specifically this part: The report states that there are no peer reviewed published reports of detectable increases of cancer or other negative health effects from radiation exposure to inhaled or ingested natural uranium at levels far exceeding those likely in the Gulf. This is mainly because the body is very effective at eliminating ingested and inhaled uranium and because the low radioactivity of natural or depleted uranium means that the mass of uranium needed for significant internal exposure is virtually impossible to obtain. Large variations in exposure to radioactivity from natural uranium in the normal environment have not been associated with negative health effects.

Exposure to uranium at high doses can cause kidney problems. However, no increase in kidney disease has been observed in relatively large occupational populations chronically exposed to natural uranium at concentrations above normal ambient levels.
