Not really, it was more tense then than it is now, Nuclear Weapons weren't something you could really do anything about. The differences were social more than anything else, we were a much closer knit community then, and we were less well informed about our government, trusted them a lot more. But you knew that, if those sirens went off, it might be a malfunction or it might be the last 4 minutes of your life, there was no way of telling.

Admittedly, I'm not sure how much of a real risk there was, though London would always be a target, I don't think Russia were all that inclined to start raining Nukes down on our head, but at the time, that's what we believed because that's what we were told.

How young are you?? Weren't you around when they brought down the Berlin Wall, in 1989 I believe, signifying the END of the Cold War, I can't believe you weren't born by then!!!

Check my profile im an 82 born, I rmember Alvin and the Chipmunks singing as it came down on their crappy cartoon. I just tend to think of the cold war as being back in the 50's -60's cos of all the old 5o's films.

Even before that there was a process of 'thawing'  (er, not in the sense of getting into a Hot War).

Alright then, I guess politics is a bit much for a 7yr old. Even an event as big as that!  :

Did that work?

Yayy, it worked!!

That video is hilarious. They're trying to make like real Nazis, yelling and looking angry, but they just end up looking badly paid, washed-out actors playing a role they can't take seriously. The biggest threat these guys pose is if someone dies of laughter.

"Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil!"

Bwahahaha.

JEWS!!! JEWS!!! JEWS!!! That was pure entertainment value.

I suppose I shouldn't be laughing, though. Best thing you can give your enemy is to not take them seriously.

It was merely at it's "hottest" then, that's why all the films were made.

Well nuke you dont discriminate now do you so you are politicly correct no?

Anywai....freak what was that. That guy couldnt help laughim himslef i saw a tini smile on the corner of his mouth there. Geez are there mai idiots like that around the world? I'n mi country at least 40% of the population is old nostagic geezers from the comunist era so you can guess how I feel about that. But at least theyr pacifist and dont go around screaming for the retunr of the commies or the death of god knows what nation.

So what's up with these guis? Hell if they want to blame someone blame the gouverment and the administration of the country not Israel .

Well at least not now anywai wait a couple of years to see how things turn up with Iraq then blame them.   ! Just kidding .
