If you could destroy any city in the world, which one would it be?

I'd destroy Las Vegas. Sin isn't my thing, so Sin City is a natural target for me.

Dude, if I could only leave one city standing it would be vegas.

Sin is so my thing.

Shanxi City...it's destroying itself with the sheer amount of goo it's putting into its environment, so why not just finish the job early?

If I was after sin, I'd destroy Tokyo. The city itself isn't particularly seedy, but there are a lot more sinners there than anywhere else.

New York. Don't get me wrong...I actually really like the city alot. I just can't stand the New York/Boston debate anymore, and I live in and love Boston more.

right on my boston brutha.

Although, working somewhat close to the Garden as I do, I coulda done with the city being wiped off the map to spare me that ride to work a few days ago.

Someone asked me this once. When was it? August... 6th, I believe. 1945, maybe?

the emerald city every time

I had no idea you were a Bostonian...


I'm up in Allston...I imagine life by the Garden much like up here during Red Sox victories. But with more drunken riots.

Quite. I live by Charles/MGH T stop.

Somewhat. Or rather, the riots are in green, not red...other than that mostly the same.

I'd destroy... One moment, does anyone know where the Jolt servers are located?:D

Zurich, Switzerland.

:)

the emerald city every time

How about we keep the city but get rid of the transplanted Californians?

NYC must die. The arrogant citizens there think that if it happens in New York it's automatically news, no matter how trivial 'it' may be. If it happens anywhere else, it's irrelevant, no matter how big 'it' may be.

yeah and the horse of a different colour too, it's not his fault afterall

I've changed my mind. Buenos Aires. Kudos for those who get the reference.

Except for the killing part, there's much truth in that. Many times I have been halfway through an article in the New York Times when it hits me: this isn't news. This is just something liberally minded, middle-class New Yorkers are interested in...and they've tricked me into reading it (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/30/books/review/Donadio-t.html)!

I spun a globe and my finger landed on Wuhan. Sorry 'bout your luck.

Paris. (second place going to Milton Keynes for being the rival power in the region and the tales of how I end up there at least four times a year through no fault of my own)

not because I'm English but rather because I really do hate that city and the misleading reputation it has

Zurich, Switzerland.

and single handedly take out the worlds chocolate cartels in one swoop?

I would get rid of Peking.

I've changed my mind. Buenos Aires. Kudos for those who get the reference.

Yes I get Kudos

I think

Starship Troopers?

Dude, if I could only leave one city standing it would be vegas.

Sin is so my thing.

If sin is your thing, you've never been to Vegas. Vegas is a multi-billion dollar attempt to give whitebread Midwesterners and shallow vacuous Californians the illusion of living on the edge for as long as their credit card will let them. Vegas is to sin what $1.99/minute phone sex is to prostitution: an overpriced simulacrum of what you're looking for that's really an attempt by unattractive middle-aged people to hustle you out of your savings.

and single handedly take out the worlds chocolate cartels in one swoop?

You underestimate my knack for chaos, my friend. *nod*

Beijing, cause they stole the Olympics from us.

Paris. (second place going to Milton Keynes for being the rival power in the region and the tales of how I end up there at least four times a year through no fault of my own)

not because I'm English but rather because I really do hate that city and the misleading reputation it has

Wait, Paris or MK because MK doesn't have a misleading reputation, everyone knows it's a complete dump.

I would get rid of Peking.

*Hands Blouman a kudos bar* Kudos!

well, there are two sides to any story. The fun side of things are there, if you know where to look.

Although, in fairness, I do prefer St. Martin by far.

Although, in fairness, I do prefer St. Martin by far.

Are we still talking sin? Because I don't associate Fremont Street (which would be the Vegas where you really can see sin up close and personal, usually accompanied by a semi-automatic pistol and a demand for your wallet) with fun. At all.

And yes, I know Vegas pretty well. To know Vegas is to hate it. Passionately.

Detroit. I would destroy Detriot if I ever got the chance. Hell, just destroy the whole thumb joint area. Haet.

You underestimate my knack for chaos, my friend. *nod*

I hope you have a bomb shelter ready for when the hordes of rampaging middle aged women arrive...not that it will make a difference

Wait, Paris or MK because MK doesn't have a misleading reputation, everyone knows it's a complete dump.

well its mostly because MK's misleading reputation is that it is a town rather than a transportation hub (which is why I cannot destroy it because I'd be fucked without MK metros)

Detroit. I would destroy Detriot if I ever got the chance. Hell, just destroy the whole thumb joint area. Haet.

but then where would we send captured USians? (http://youtube.com/watch?v=zmrrO0YjSes)

Probably Jerusalem. Not that it isn't a cool city, but there's a slight possibility that it would stop people killing each other over it.

(Of course, I wouldn't actually destroy any city, etc.)

Someone asked me this once. When was it? August... 6th, I believe. 1945, maybe?

Hiroshima is there there though. guess we should have used a bigger bomb.

New York. Don't get me wrong...I actually really like the city alot. I just can't stand the New York/Boston debate anymore, and I live in and love Boston more.

For me, it would be the opposite (although I don't live in NY).

*Hands Blouman a kudos bar* Kudos!

All right *Scurries away to corner and munches on said Kudos bar*

And yes, I know Vegas pretty well. To know Vegas is to hate it. Passionately.
Indeed!

I cant decide between Boston and Chicago they are just yuck and so are their sport teams

I'd destroy London, cos then Bruim would rule the UK!

HA HA Ha

I cant decide between Boston and Chicago they are just yuck and so are their sport teams

Well, Boston's got some pretty fucked up streets too, from what I hear. Some have cobblestones, some are too narrow, etc. Better to destroy it and rebuild it (after being planned out by a decent civil engineer).

I'd destroy New York, just because I want to see the city burn around me and then play in the rubble.

Columbus would be a close second, though. As it is the seat of all that is suburban and whitebread in the United States.

I'd destroy Las Vegas. Sin isn't my thing, so Sin City is a natural target for me.What have you got against Sinuhue? :(

Rawalpindi or Muridke..probably Rawalpindi because that's where the masters are.

Tehran, Iran. So we could claim the dubious title of being the cheapest city to live in.

Tehran, Iran. So we could claim the dubious title of being the cheapest city to live in.

Tehran? Cheap? Ha! Ahaha! Ha!

Tehran? Cheap? Ha! Ahaha! Ha!
:(

IIRC Tehran was among the 100+ cities surveyed. Can't find the link now though.

But it seems we moved up the expensiveness rank (http://www.citymayors.com/economics/expensive_cities2.html). More cities to destroy! Yippeeeeeee!

I'd destroy New York, just because I want to see the city burn around me and then play in the rubble.

New York is the one city I would prefer someone else to destroy, because then I could be the one to say "You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!"

I've wanted to check that off my "things to do before I die" list for so long...

Well, I wouldn't blow up any place with an NHL, AHL, or CHL hockey team. So...I dunno. Brazilia.

Dallas, Texas. Because I hate Texas. But more than that, I hate the Dallas Cowboys.

Oh gods, so much choice... where do you even start?

* El Balyana, Sohag, EG - The architecture, the locals, the provincial attitude...
* Giza, EG - The traffic, the touts, the tourists, the fantasy that it's actually Cairo...
* Jakarta, ID - The traffic, the crowds, the bland pseudo-American gated estates...
* Southampton, UK - The desolation, the "redevelopment", the wasted opportunities...
* Birmingham, UK - The constant crowing about being the "Second City", the architecture, the chavs...

* Los Angeles, CA, USA - Hollywood pop-culture, freeways, endless, faceless suburbia
* New York, NY, USA - The 80's, the inflated sense of self importance, the pretentiousness.

Green Bay, WI

Also, I thought this would be about how to destroy a city..

Boston.

Birmingham, Glasgow, Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield, Newcastle.

Birmingham, Glasgow, Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield, Newcastle.

How about the entire UK?

Beijing, cause they stole the Olympics from us.

I second that. My first choice, after my immediately family and best friend are out of it... Ottawa. HAHAHA! No more Sens. And with it goes the Harper administration! :D

How about the entire UK?

I quite like the rural areas, and the more middle class areas of the cities. Just not housing estates and dull suburban sprawl.

Paris, France. Most french people are pretty nice - but I've never met a Parisian who wasn't an asshole.

Pyongyang must go! I've had it with Kim-jong Il's sterility of that frickin city!

That's just because they've been trying to make it more kid-friendly for the past decade, but they've given up on that. When I went there a few months ago, they'd replaced all the pirates in that nightly pirate fight they used to have with strippers on boats.

Probably Washington. Maybe New York. Some American city anyway. Mainly so I can blackmail the government for ONE MILLION DOLLARS!

Hey, Ifreann... how'd you like to leave the 90s and join us here in the 21st century?

Probably Washington. Maybe New York. Some American city anyway. Mainly so I can blackmail the government for ONE MILLION DOLLARS!

Why stop at one governemnt? Why not blackmail the world for 100 Million Billion yen?

*Holds pinkie to lip and picks up bald cat*

For me, it would be the opposite (although I don't live in NY).

Hmm....makes sense for coastal CT I guess, though I thought Ledyard was far enough east to be safe ;)

Well, Boston's got some pretty fucked up streets too, from what I hear. Some have cobblestones, some are too narrow, etc. Better to destroy it and rebuild it (after being planned out by a decent civil engineer).
Thats almost all the North End (at least the cobbles and narrow streets...the rest of the city is a bit twisty), and that's all the history of the city and the beauty and charm. Grids are boring. Why does Boston have three Washington St's (one in Downtown, one in Brighton, one in Dorchester)? Because each was a seperate town for years.

Compare that to "I live on the corner of 36th and 3rd".
Well, I wouldn't blow up any place with an NHL, AHL, or CHL hockey team. So...I dunno. Brazilia.

Smart person, this one.

Boston.

Screw NYC...can I just destroy Ruffy?

Why stop at one governemnt? Why not blackmail the world for 100 Million Billion yen?

*Holds pinkie to lip and picks up bald cat*

The Yuan is more profitable. Or if you're a real greedy bastard, the Euro or the Pound are also viable options.

Dude, if I could only leave one city standing it would be vegas.

Sin is so my thing.

But Vegas is tacky, cliched, over-the-top sin. I like my sin a bit subtler, with some class to it. ;)

And I'm shocked no one has yet done the obvious and blown the hell out of Newark. C'mon, people, whatever you think of London, Paris, New York, et. al., they at least have some redeeming qualities. Can anyone really say that about Newark?

Norwich. Then Norfolk will be much better.

Can anyone really say that about Newark?Exactly. There's an awesome Canadian bookstore in Paris, for instance, whose owner will make you tea and chat with you.

I'd destroy the whole Southern California Megalopolis - LA, San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino - all of it. It's dirty, noisy, overcrowded and just nasty. The people are, with a few exceptions (who will be evacuated) unintelligent, shallow posers.

You fail to get the joke.

You fail to get the joke.

I got it. I'm just being stupid. :p You fail at stupidity! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Blackburn. Hey, its mentioned on most atlases.

Erm, well I suppose the world could be without Birmingham as well

Salt Lake City, Utah

me would choose Hull or nottingham

I -suppose- I should pick some Ohioan city, just because...

But, in a practical sense, Jerusalem would be best.

I wouldn't want to destroy a city. You lot are all big meanies.

destroy Ruffy?

Haha, good luck with that, bro.

San Francisco. :)

Haha, good luck with that, bro.

The plot has already begun...



MUAHAHAHAHHAHAHA*chokes*


Sorry...what was I saying?

The plot has already begun...



MUAHAHAHAHHAHAHA*chokes*


Sorry...what was I saying?

You were agreeing with my decision to destroy Boston. *nod*

Chicago, no doubt. There is no filthier, scummy place on earth. Well, maybe Gary, IN...So perhaps I'd destroy everything on that south/south west side of Lake Michigan.

I would honestly destroy Detroit, MI. (sorry Michiganers, or whatever you call yourselves). I hated MI, if it were up to me I would destroy the entire state, perhaps with the exception of Holland and Port Huron.

I wouldn't want to destroy a city. You lot are all big meanies.

wuss.

Blackpool. Eugh.

If you could destroy any city in the world, which one would it be?

I'd destroy Las Vegas. Sin isn't my thing, so Sin City is a natural target for me.

Sin isn't your thing and you fantasize about obliterating huge population centers?

Probably Jerusalem. Not that it isn't a cool city, but there's a slight possibility that it would stop people killing each other over it.

(Of course, I wouldn't actually destroy any city, etc.)

Damn, you beat me to it. Same reasons too.

Hmm... Let me think... Los Angeles. It put an end to alot of fakes, but some of my favorite directors live there. So... I'll say Ft. Worth TX. just to end the Dallas/ Ft. Worth discussion.


(argh, I can't believe I misspelled that.)

:confused: You wouldn't destroy Port Huron? It's Sarnia, only worse.

Port Huron better than that craphole called "Ottawa".

I'd destroy...Branson. There are just no redeeming qualities for that city.

I'm assuming i can't have all of them destroyed.
I'll go with London.

Port Huron better than that craphole called "Ottawa".

I guess you're entitled to your opinion, but I've been to both places and I know which one I'd rather live in.

I would destroy Caracas. Ugliest city on earth, with through the roof crime and a cost of living which is utterly ridiculous. There is also constant riots and radical Chavistas who have a tendency to shoot anyone not wearing red, or anyone working in the media.

I guess you're entitled to your opinion, but I've been to both places and I know which one I'd rather live in.

And having lived Ottawa for 12 of the most miserable years of my life, I feel entitled to my opinion. *nods*

Madrid Spain.

all those kids who choose to be homeless there just have it coming.

And having lived Ottawa for 12 of the most miserable years of my life, I feel entitled to my opinion. *nods*

But how much time have you spent in Port Huron?

Detroit. I would destroy Detriot if I ever got the chance.
But... how would we tell?

Copenhagen..or New York,Since they seem to think they rule the world and can be ass-hats with their stereo typical goat insults.

Liverpool - just imagining it gone makes me smile :)

:confused: You wouldn't destroy Port Huron? It's Sarnia, only worse.

If it were up to me, the entire state of MI would cease to exist. :p

I hated MI, if it were up to me I would destroy the entire state, perhaps with the exception of Holland and Port Huron.
Good grief, if there are any two places in this godforsaken state I hate worse than Detroit, it would be Holland and Port Huron. Save Ann Arbor and Traverse City, if you are going to try to salvage anything from Michigan.

Sorry, but parts of Michigan are gorgeous. You're not taking the whole state. And lay off Port Huron. Yeah, it's shabby, but no worse than Flint. Besides, my dad's side of the family is from there.

I agree with Vegas. Wasteful, tacky, overpriced drain on precious resources...in a desert. It makes no sense and speaks -- screams -- US arrogance when it comes to sustainability.

If you could destroy any city in the world, which one would it be?

I'd destroy Las Vegas. Sin isn't my thing, so Sin City is a natural target for me.

That would make me sad since Sumamba and his wife live there.

I don't really hate any cities, sorry.

I would destroy Caracas. Ugliest city on earth, with through the roof crime and a cost of living which is utterly ridiculous. There is also constant riots and radical Chavistas who have a tendency to shoot anyone not wearing red, or anyone working in the media.

Sweet! I'm going to be there in a month. I'll make sure to wear red. :p

I second that. My first choice, after my immediately family and best friend are out of it... Ottawa. HAHAHA! No more Sens. And with it goes the Harper administration! :D

Fellow Leaf fan?

This is gonna be a rough season.

DC!!! Think about it... Who lives in DC?:D

If you could destroy any city in the world, which one would it be?

I'd destroy Las Vegas. Sin isn't my thing, so Sin City is a natural target for me.

I'd say Napoli.
Camorra (neapolitan mafia) + garbage everywhere in the streets.

Also Florence I hate with a distinct obsession, but first I'd have to save the Uffizi gallery, the State Archives and the Biblioteca Marucelliana.

And lay off Port Huron. Yeah, it's shabby, but no worse than Flint.
"no worse than Flint" is not much of a recommend

"no worse than Flint" is not much of a recommend

What is worse than Flint, anyways? Chernobyl?

Pyongyang...

It's mostly populated by Communist Elites who think their nation is ZE BEST!!!

New York, NY, USA - The 80's, the inflated sense of self importance, the pretentiousness.

So says a Londoner...

I would honestly destroy Detroit, MI. (sorry Michiganers, or whatever you call yourselves). I hated MI, if it were up to me I would destroy the entire state, perhaps with the exception of Holland and Port Huron.

How about saving everything from Mount Pleasant north?

Anyway, I'd destroy Columbus, Ohio for obvious reasons and DC. If I had to pick I'd flip a coin.

- snip -
Man, you haven't been on in forever! How are things going?

Man, you haven't been on in forever! How are things going?

Well enough. Through an unfortunate series of events that I won't get in to on a public forum I've been off to desolate foreign lands like Texas and the Middle East. I've only recently acquired steady Internet access.

Michiganders.

Chernobyl's pretty nice, actually. I mean, a bit of radiation, sure, but that's irrelevant, mostly. :)

so Says A Londoner...
Qft.

New York, L.A, Paris...these are all good choices, but I'm going to go for somewhere in China. Everyone knows it'll come down to America v. China eventually, we might as well get in the first strike. I can't decide what to nuke first though, Beijing or Peking.

Maybe if I have an extra nuke, I'll hit Shanghai too.

If you could destroy any city in the world, which one would it be?

I'd destroy Las Vegas. Sin isn't my thing, so Sin City is a natural target for me.

Vatican City

How about saving everything from Mount Pleasant north?

Give me a good reason why should I, if it were up to me, save one single part of MI, Mount Pleasant north included.

:cool:

Fellow Leaf fan?

This is gonna be a rough season.

Yes, I'm a Leaf fan, though, I do hate Ottawa for more than simply having the Sens.

And yes, it'll be rough, but at least we got rid of Ferguson.

Spuzzum, if it wasn't already entirely destroyed in a tragic fire. A GAS STATION AND A RESTAURANT IS NOT A TOWN, BC INTERIOR!

I would have to say a holy city of sorts. Just to remove the so called sacred area that people fight over. The vatican would be a clear target but something like mecca or jerusalem would be a good site as well.

However sadly they would probably see this as a test of their faith

Second thoughts I would say Paris

DC!!! Think about it... Who lives in DC?:D

seconded

NYC must die. The arrogant citizens there think that if it happens in New York it's automatically news, no matter how trivial 'it' may be. If it happens anywhere else, it's irrelevant, no matter how big 'it' may be.

Actually, we don't think that at all.

Anywho, if I could destroy any city I would have to go with Boston.

Monaco

The Vatican. :mad:

damn, if only Mianus was a city, i could then destroy it and tell my friends there was a huge explosion in Mianus

anyway...

i would probably go with Liverpool, all the people i met up there were nasty little bastards

If you could destroy any city in the world, which one would it be?

I'd destroy Nevada. I never liked it much.

Actually, we don't think that at all.

Anywho, if I could destroy any city I would have to go with Boston.

You're a New Yorker, aren't you?

*presses red button*

Moscov (or however you spell it in english O_o )

Reason? Destabilizing Russia even more than it is now.

Oh and yes, if I could choose two, Washington D.C. too. Same reasons. World needs less super bullies.

Mecca.

Because I'm a bastard.

Second choice: Houston or Dallas

Third choice: Los Angeles.

But Vegas is tacky, cliched, over-the-top sin. I like my sin a bit subtler, with some class to it. ;)


I agree. Vegas would actually be before LA on my list of cities to destroy. I hate that tacky shit.

Also, I almost put NY, but then realized I just wanted its status taken away, I don't want it completely destroyed.

Goodbye, London, Jerusalem (the new part), Beijing, and Tel Aviv.

I wonder why New York, London and Paris have been picked so much.

I'm going to say jealousy.

I wonder why New York, London and Paris have been picked so much.

I'm going to say jealousy.

Or the fact that, when anyone else says anything about those cities, the residents immediatly assume jealousy.

No, people aren't always jealous when they criticize something. More often than not, they are actually criticizing, not covering up insecurities.

Claiming it is "just jealousy", however, usually reaveals a) insecurity, b) a charming superiority complex, or c) a lack of a sense of reality.

Most people dislike those three cities because of that attitude.

You brought up the jealousy thing. I, and several others have alluded to this point in this thread and a few others in the past...you were just the one to claim jealousy this time

I'm sure I'm person #54346934 to say this, but: Los Angeles. Although Orange is such an attractive choice, too.

Second choice: Houston or Dallas

Third choice: Los Angeles.

If there was any doubt, this would be undeniable proof that you are from NorCal.

Well, if you are going for sin and corruption, Washington D.C. is just begging for it.

Grozny.

Grozny.

Hasn't that already been done?

Wow. This is my thought exactly. I was going to say this exact thing, almost word for word.


Are you reading my mind?

You brought up the jealousy thing. I, and several others have alluded to this point in this thread and a few others in the past...you were just the one to claim jealousy this time

Given that the claim is coming from a non-resident, surely the reply should have an explanation for this other than "arrogance"?

Same attitude people are brought up with..."If you don't like you, they're just jealous". No, maybe I just don't like you (general "you" there, not pointed at you personally). Maybe I just don't like New York City.

It's the same cop out, even if you aren't a resident.

I've changed my mind. Buenos Aires. Kudos for those who get the reference.

Et tu, Klendathu?

Yeah, but I mentioned those three cities specifically for a reason. I'm not saying that people hating on Los Angeles or Detroit or Middlesbrough are jealous.

Madrid or Mexico City.

Yes, I realize that...they are three of the four "world cities". The only one you skipped was Tokyo. I live in Boston...I'm not jealous of New Yorkers. What I am is annoyed with their superiority complex, the fact that they are convinced that they are the "greatest city on Earth", that they assume the world revolved around them, that they assume they are the most cultured and influential, and the constant discussions of why Boston sucks and New York is amazing. Yes, Bostonians do that last one. No, not all New Yorkers do all or any of them. And as I said, I have no real problem with the city. The biggest issue is...well...the people. Not rude, but arrogant.

Hating London, Paris or New York is not any more jealousy than hating Detroit, Flint, DC, Orlando, Milan, Sydney, or any other city. No one is "jealous" of New York, Paris, or London. We don't talk about it, wondering how we can be more like them.

Of course there are people who are jealous of certain cities. There are even people who admit it outright. It's interesting, though, that the "arrogant" reason is one that comes up for New York more than for Detroit. Why would people from "world cities" be seen as arrogant?

Boston man, I think hat little feud may be heavily related to baseball.

have you been[ to Detroit? ;)

They are seen as more arrogant because they are the four best known cities with alot of power. They are major, and important, cities. Citizens there know it. They revel in living in an important city, yet often don't realize that they are not the end-all of cities, and yes, other cities are significant.

And, as with the middle and high school mentality, attacks are fended off by claiming "I don't do anything wrong...they're just jealous.", which, ironically, make them appear as more arrogant.

Yes, some are jealous. Most aren't.

What are you trying to say? *breaks beer bottle*

What I find annoying is when residents of a large, important city imagine that living there somehow makes them more important as an individual.

I would get rid of Peking.

You mean Beijing?

Anyway, i would get rid of Los Angeles... I hate all of the big time "gossip column" crap that is all over the news about which celebrity did this, and what celebrity did tha

Either that or NYC, because its too big of a city, and its making us Connecticut peopel seem rich because the people that make a fortune in NYC live in a tiny part of CT, makine it the richest state.

That too.

yeah, just gonna have to go with NYC for a number of reasons, but most of all, as others have chosen, arrogance.

My g/f is form there and I have to deal with it all the time if the two cities we're from come up in the same hour (NYC and Buffalo). Hopefully our hockey and football teams will kick their asses in the next few years, so I can lord that one over her (as well as having a better public school than all the public ones in nyc)

Hasn't that already been done?

Yes, but I've seen too many friends killed there. Rebuilding it again[which is what my government is doing] is a waste of funds that could be better spent on just about anything.

ps. This is Chernobyl-Pripyat, this is a puppet nation account >.>

If you could destroy any city in the world, which one would it be?

I'd destroy Las Vegas. Sin isn't my thing, so Sin City is a natural target for me.

Mecca or Jerusalem, or both at the same time.

Madrid or Mexico City.

Mexico City, you have thumbs up on that.

Madrid- blasphemer!!!

Mecca or Jerusalem, or both at the same time.And the Vatican, for the trifecta?

And the Vatican, for the trifecta?

Good plan.

No more crap from the Pope, no more arguing about who owns Jerusalem, and no more pilgrimages to Mecca.

Stockholm / Mecca / Moscow.

Good plan.

No more crap from the Pope, no more arguing about who owns Jerusalem, and no more pilgrimages to Mecca.

RONG

This would probably start a holy war if the culprit was not known and if the culprit was known, they'd be sure to kick your ass for it.

Also, there would be a large christian back lash, a new Pope would appear in 50 years top, the Vatican would be rebuilt in maybe 100 years and it would be as if it never happened.

We need to destroy the moon.

Grammar has committed suicide on this post! Capitalize, Christian is a term that describes a certain group. It needs to be capitalized, and learn that the word wrong is written with a W at the beginning. Ciao!

Wrong was spelled "RONG" (heh) on purpose, as a joke. Though not capitalizing Christian was a mistake and I am sorry Grammar.

If I only get to blow up one city, I'm going to get my money's worth, and help deal with overpopulation at the same time...

...the only logical choice, therefore, is Tokyo, which I'd rather not blow up, but that's what it gets for being the biggest.

*releases Godzilla*

If there was any doubt, this would be undeniable proof that you are from NorCal.

I've been found out!

News Flash: we're already suffering from Muslims who think we're in a holy war. Jews are essentially in a holy war against Muslims over Jerusalem. Adding the Catholics will just make the party that much merrier.

And, if we use the right kind of bomb, and make it a ground burst, you won't be able to rebuild anything on the target sites, because it will be too radioactive.

Because it doesnt agree with your morals its a sin?
And id go for the majority of Africa.
Nothing racist before anyone jumps to conclusions,and yes i do realise its not a city.

Well, you have to judge by some standards, and this thread is all about judging.

While you're at it, don't forget Costa Mesa, CA; Hendersonville, TN; Irving, TX; and Miami and Orlando, FL.

Stephen King will haunt you in your dreams because of that.:eek:

You realize, that every time I mention that most of the world should be nuked, you accuse me of being a genocidal maniac.

Hopefully, you see the wisdom in turning most places of religious significance into radioactive craters.

London, for electing Boris Johnson as Mayor. :P

London, for electing Boris Johnson as Mayor. :P

There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
and the vermin of the world inhabit it
and its morals aren't worth what a pin can spit
and it goes by the name of London.
At the top of the hole sit the privileged few
Making mock of the vermin in the lonely zoo
turning beauty to filth and greed...
I too have sailed the world and seen its wonders,
for the cruelty of men is as wondrous as Peru
but there's no place like London!

Wow, paranoid much? You realize, every time I post something, you misinterpret it and accuse me of overreacting. I was merely suggesting that while you're going about nuking religions (which I'm not all that opposed to in the abstract), you should get the Fundies as well.

Oh yes because it's impossible for the Catholic church to just rebuild the Vatican in another location.

Also, I know that we are in a holy war, but would you rather add fuel to the fire?

Atlantis:p.
If the sinking didn't destroy it, this bomb will.

Btw, I checked the first five pages of this thread and found that there was not one heated argument. You'd kinda expect it on the internet...:mp5:

LOL! I would read that, mate.

I may need to consider seconding the destruction of Las Vegas...it seems to trigger an inexplicable fear and loathing at its very mention.

I'm stuck between New York City and Los Angeles but if I had it my way I'd do away with the states of CA, CO, MA, NY & CoPR.

CoPR?

CoPR?

I'm guessing Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

I also add Priština, the capital of "Kosovo"



lawlz at important central Europe nations not recognizing it, they can enjoy their Puerto Rico type state

Probably Moscow

It is a town rather than a city, but any of you who have ever been to Bedford will know we would be better off without it.

Detroit. I would destroy Detriot if I ever got the chance. Hell, just destroy the whole thumb joint area. Haet.

How could you tell when it was destroyed?

Brussels must die and the EU with it!
