What would you do in the event of a nuclear war?

Lets say in this hypothetical situation where Russia, China, or some middle eastern country has sent a nuke heading for your country. Would you rather be in the direct path of the nuke, or would you run and hide in your bomb shelter and hoped that you lived?

I personally, would rather be in the direct path. Assuming that once an ICBM has been launched, countries would send nukes back in retaliation, starting some mass nuclear war. And think, ok, so mabey you do survive in your little bomb shelter, but you may be the only person in 150 miles. Have you really achieved something great? Are you really better than everyone else? considering everyone else is dead. Sure, there might be a few other people that survive, but what good would it be to try and farm on toxic land that has been poisoned and will be poisoned for hundreds of years. Its just my opinion though...

i wonder if other countries would really retaliate with nuclear attack, with possibly the exception of the U.K which would probably retaliate in defense of the U.S.

If it was only one nuke, i would hide in the shelter. If it was a barrage of nukes, say russian ICBMs and they were deploying their entire arsenal, i'd still attempt to survive.

Thats what i'm hard wired to do, and thats what I will do. In the face of perseverance, i will attempt not to fail in propagating the human race to continue on. Though, this would indeed be considerably hard without an Eve. ;)

go to school (univ cal berkeley) and get in the basement of etchevary hall with the rest of the nuclear engineering department. there used to be a nuclear reactor housed there and its the safest place to be by far

I'd find a bomb shelter. One, I have no desire to die right now. Two, there would be plenty of other people there with the same idea. The only one within a 150 mile radius? I find that hard to believe. There would be plenty of people there. As for what to do afterwards? Mankind has always found a way, and I would be hard pressed to think they couldn't after something like this. Yeah, you'd have to move and all, but it wouldn't be impossible to survive afterwards. If the Japaneese can do it...Hell, there's always Canada!

Put a bullseye on my ass and evaporate with a big smile on my face knowing that the State of Florida, and all of its residents, are no longer.

Ooooooooh, oooooooh, I know!!
They taught us this in grade school.

Take all the sharp objects out of your pockets, get under your desk, put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye.

Hell, to some of us, that might constitute an improvement. ;)

Thats true...except russian woman don't follow the bell curve...its all down hill after 35 for sure.

Asian women on the other hand are reputed to have eternal beauty and do follow a more bell curve like result in appearance - age. I dunno though, a seventy year old 4'8&quot; grandmother can be quite frightening.

And mostly caucasians with the exception of russia :)D) seem to follow the standard bell curve to some degree as well.

My utterly pointless .02 opinion on this issue.

Nope, I tend to agree with most of your statements. Asian women definately are ageless IMO. Russian women tho, DAMN! ;)

Russians are Asians, not Caucasians.

Let The Looting Begin!

Cyberian, I thought that a pretty large percentage of Russia is still considered to be Europe. It cuts off at one of those mountain ranges (the Urals perhaps?)

Cyberian,

the origins of russians ethnicity is debatable at best.
Many Moscovites have Blue eyes which is distinctively a scandinavian trait, caucasian.
Also, blonde hair is not uncommon at all. These are caucasian characteristics. Closer towards vladivostok and that area, you have more asian characteristics naturally thanks to mongol invasion of greater russia and years of racial inter-breeding.

*edit* Not to mention those people from afghanistan, kazakhstan, tajikstahn etc etc which add a huge amount of different ingredients into the pot.

I would remove my glasses, remove all sharp objects from my pockets, drop to a stooping position, place my head between my legs and kiss my a$$ goodbye. Sorry it's an old joke.
