Why don't you take a nice long look at what you've observed. Your submission was ridiculous, and so was your attitude towards everyone who called out your idiocy.
You should really re-examine your life. I mean, it's bad enough that you're concerned about what other people circle jerk on, and then you circle jerk your responses to them. . . even when they throw nonsensical stuff at you.
Really? You're going to try and claim my entire life is pathetic because I, and many others it seems, think you're literally acting out as a retard would.
It doesn't take much time at all to respond to your bullshit. I don't mind taking a minute out of my life to call you out on your idiocy.
I do recommend you re-examine your own life, buddy. I'm done though, your spectacular display of retardation and ignorance/arrogance is becoming just sad now.
Who is mad? I am merely assembling information about reddit to post on other forums. Since my PMs are blowing up about the subject, it would seem other people have discovered the same thing. If you don't care to participate in my study, then move on.
Op I'd like to point out that cobalt bombs and ending all life sounds far fetched. Perhaps your ideas into this manner yields you being downvoted. Honestly it's insane.
Based on what? It is not my theory, I only brought it here for discussion. Yet no one cares to discuss it. What WOULD happen if DPRK does have a cobalt warhead and it is launched over Japan and then shot down? Do you have a source that says it won't rain cobalt -60 on the island? Instead of just saying it sounds implausible, why not show me some research which says it is?
I would sure as fuck like to know since our own intelligence community had admitted that DPRK does have a missile that will reach the US.
You prove it. You claim they would do such a thing, prove it.
You claim that a cobalt missile would kill all life, prove it. You can't just go willy dilly claiming things without proof. That's not how anything works unless you want to be called an idiot. So back your claims with scientific data, or go back to your basement with your aluminum hat.
I didn't make any such claim. I posted a video where someone else claims that. But since you're too lazy to look this up, let me do it for you. I am assuming you'll accept Princeton.edu as a reliable source.
A cobalt bomb is a theoretical type of "salted bomb": a nuclear weapon intended to contaminate an area by radioactive material, with relatively little blast.
Originally proposed by physicist Leó Szilárd, who suggested that it would be capable of destroying all life on Earth, the weapon's tamper would be of ordinary cobalt metal, which the explosion then would transmute to the radioactive isotope cobalt-60 (60Co), which would produce deadly nuclear fallout.
While the sheer size and cost of such a weapon makes it unlikely to be built, it is technically possible because there is no maximum size limit for a thermonuclear bomb.
That's wikipedia, technically speaking. It still does not back your claim as theoretical does not make practical or tried. It is again claimed by one man to kill all life. But where does he back this up at? Hell cobalts half life is 5.27 years. There's other metals with way more than that that output more gamma, beta, and alpha than it does. Is life dead because of those? No.
There is nothing to discuss. It's made up bullshit without even a single shred of evidence that it's anything other than something someone pulled out of their ass. It would be just as worthwhile to discuss what would happen if North Korea managed to wrest control of Godzilla away from Japan.
North Korea's world-ending cobalt bomb is a pink unicorn. It's fine if you want to believe it's out there, but don't be surprised when no one wants to talk about proper pink unicorn catching techniques with you.
Who is talking a about world ending? I am asking about a small warhead and cobalt 60 fired over say Japan a d then shot down. What part of this scenario is impossible? DPRK has the missile, they have the ability to weaponize cobalt, so what exactly is implausible about this?
"North Korea has made a cobalt bomb using their reactors to make Cobalt-60. If you have enough cobalt (which is in abundance) and you hit it with a nuke or a bunker buster, it will end life on the planet."

Now that we have established that it is POSSIBLE, would you care to address why you feel that DPRK could not have a small warhead?

You keep saying that, but you keep coming back. If you think I'm a "arrogant retard", what does it say about you to be sooooo obsessed with what I do?

It's based on you to prove it. Scientifically its based on one guys ramblings over a radio braodcast, which isn't science.
-1 Thinks_Like_A_Man 2013-04-14
So the scenario of one of their missiles being fitted with a small cobalt 60 warhead is impossible? Why?

I never said it was practical or tried. Strawman much?
It originated from the book, Nuclear Biological And Chemical Warfare By K. Bhushan, G. Katyal and was subsequently published in wikipedia.
SOURCE
Since I have provided my source, I am sure you have one showing that cobalt is not deadly, you know, since you are stating it is impossible.

Ahem: "North Korea may have a cobalt bomb capable of causing extinction of life on the planet"
"North Korea has made a cobalt bomb using their reactors to make Cobalt-60. If you have enough cobalt (which is in abundance) and you hit it with a nuke or a bunker buster, it will end life on the planet."
Looks like the "who" is YOU.

Downvoted within seconds of posting. So apparently, it's the words in the thread.
Let's try again without referring to North Korea and see what happens.
