No, you really don't. I pay taxes so I don't have to think about this stuff.

Clearly, you have never read A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Basically. I mean, we could get hit by a meteor or some other cosmic object, but there is nothing I (or anyone else) can do about that. I don't really see a societal collapse soming in my lifetime, and I think that the probability of being invaded by a foreign power is incredibly low. (I also think that the probability - and concept - of ISIS mounting a full-scale land invasion is laughable. I wish they would try it, however, so that our armed forces could kill all of them in one fell swoop.)

If there is an emergency, however, I will just join the Mormon church at the last minute.

funny thing, I actually watched that movie last night with my lady..lol And ISIS wont be coming across American soil in a large movement, it is already building momentum in America. They have made many arrest of people teaching the extremist ways here in the states. They will attack from within. Remember the term guerrilla warfare? That is exactly what they will do. They have already carried out lone wolf attacks decapitating people who aren't of their religion.

In current intelligence estimates, it is speculated that literally every other world nation would need to combine their navies and attack at once to launch an effective invasion of the United States. Our technology is sophisticated enough to fight off superior numbers, our naval forces are capable enough to hold back many world navies in tandem with air campaigns from our air force, and our army and marine forces are strong enough to tackle all ground troops that would make it ashore. Plus we have further beneficial natural land barriers in the Rocky and Appalachian mountain ranges from which we can mount retaliations against anyone who does survive the beaches. In terms of location, the US is one of the best defended nations possible.

That said, our military capability might be greatly diminished by a preemptive nuclear strike, though once a full strike and retaliation occur, nobody is quite sure of what will be left to invade and who will be left to invade or defend it.

But we are not dealing with traditional warfare. These will be situations like the Boston bombing...stuff we cannot detect. They are smart at what they do, and will target high populated areas for this type of stuff. Some technology just cannot find it all.

Yes...but what about a lone wolf?

Yes. But those will be matters for law enforcement agencies. Moreover, the actual threat of physical harm posed by that sort of attack is drastically overblown, and those sort of attacks - while certainly tragic - pose absolutely no threat to societal stability.

But brilliant gay intellectual George Takei has been warning against this for years, AQ. After all, if everyone becomes gay, then who will be left to have and protect the gay babies?

In that case, I'd better start stocking up on camping supplies, guns, and non-perishable food.

Hey! Don't you EVER talk sh*t on George Takei. The man is a national treasure.
