How is comparing nuclear development of the USA to Iran's nuclear development 'digressing'? Especially since it was you that brought up the USA in the first place?
1. The US of A
Or have you already forgotten what you posted?
No, I haven't but you forgot, what you asked, namely
Well, if you actually believe that a nation that is sitting on buttloads of oil needs nuclear technology for 'energy'
The US of A have been sitting on 'buttloads' of oil and coal. And they wanted nuclear electricity. And even if Iran doesn't NEED that, they might want it too, why not, idiot?
One of their stated goals is the complete annihilation of another country (Israel).
Oh, you're stupid, uninformed AND illiterate. Good day.
history of a country, which has absolutely nothing to do with [...] today
If one can learn from history it's that USians can't learn from history...
we only have nuclear reactors because we developed nuclear bombs first.
Even if that were true (which it isn't, because there were experimental reactors and those used solely to obtain Plutonium before the bomb was created), that doesn't mean we couldn't have built commercial reactors first. Just as the Chinese created fireworks first and then the Europeans took the invention and turned it into lethal weapon.
We didn't sit around and say, "Gee, I wish we had some other way to generate electricity!". But you seem to think that is what Iran is doing.
No, you (USians) didn't, because you have always been destructive rather than constructive. And (even if the bomb first had been necessary) Iran doesn't need to go about it the American Way because the reactors have already been developed. So your "point" is moot and you're just projecting (accusing others of what you'd do in their shoes).
...as to a nation with couple of millenia of history...
Ah, you DO know what digress means!
Yes I do and you don't. You tried to derail the discussion with your idiotic insinuation while I just responded on topic, only giving you several reasons behind my position.

Which did the USA develop first, the nuclear bomb or the nuclear reactor?
You digress...
2. What happened to nuclear is so green, and fossil fuels pollute?
You seriously think Iran gives a flying fuck about how 'green' their energy generation is?
I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, as to a nation with couple of millenia of history AND wasn't founded on genocide AND hasn't used WMDs in warfare AND... Seriously, Iran looks like innocent (and well educated) child compared to the illiterate thug the US of A is.
Are you really as retarded as you are making yourself out to be, or do you actually not understand something this basic?
It's you who's retarded here and asshole as well. Getting a free ride on the bus and not paying for it is actually an apt analogy.
By using an ISP's connection without paying for it, you aren't piggybacking on another person's packets, you're using up the limited* space in the pipe. By not paying, and essentially being an unknown factor to the business providing the pipe, you are lowering the quality of service for everyone else. If not through using bandwidth that wasn't accounted for, it's by delaying their packets with your own, during an especially congested time.
By taking a free ride you're using the service, "crowding up" the bus, not putting in for the maintenance, thus reducing profit. Also if you take someone's invention they spent money developing and sell it cheaply you're robbing them of expected profit.

People seem to forget that energy is not power.
People seem to forget that heat is not energy. Heat is the transfer of energy through any means other than work.
Not in English.
It did, but they got enough Unobtainium to build this sub.
Seems something is off.
Yeah, seems someone read "8" and then added three orders of magnitude. 1 ton = 2000 pounds.
They are terrorist because they are a large organization that attack infrastructure, and the use fear as a form of coercion.
Wait a minute... You're talking about the USA military and police, right?
People seem to forget that heat is power too.
People seem to forget that energy is not power.
Others approve of the implied separation from the rest of the continent.
SRSLY? I know a few descendants of the Americans (i.e. "Indians" or Native Americans) who disapprove of referring to all USAns as "Americans"'.
DHS, conspiracy theories aside, is likely conducting their own investigation into DuQu
No need for that unless they snuffed the original developer before securing the relevant docs.~
Well you just used "==" the wrong way.
Oh, well, I gues this is right: "It's" |||| "it is" or "it has".
I told him to throw it in the dumpster and forget about it.
Atrocity!
Easy, actually doing it first and then watching the Europeans complain aboot us dumb USians always getting the credit for immigrants' work.
FTFY.
The physical addiction of nicotine is actually not the reason why smokers have such a difficult time quitting, it's the mental addiction.
BULLSHIT.
Enjoy your lung cancer,
Huh? Quite the contrary?
memory loss
Huh? Not really.
incessant ennui.
Huh? From weed? You see, you don't KNOW anything about "drugs". BTW do you drink alcohol ("hard" drug)?

Actually, you're wrong. It won't.
Yes it will:

A quick question for you:
Which did the USA develop first, the nuclear bomb or the nuclear reactor?
You digress...

You, sir, are either engaging in hyperbole or you do not know what a theocracy is.

No?

The Professor!
Actually, simple ping will show you that.
No, they just want more money. Now they want the Internet money. Or the strike shall continue.
And what an apt name, "Wasteland."

So, you agree with what I said, and you confirm that you're a retard, and you confirm that don't understand the topic at hand in any way, at all?
No. Go somewhere where they train reading comprehension.
Are you really as retarded as you are making yourself out to be, or do you actually not understand something this basic?

Feeling retarded yet, asshole?
