Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Additionaly, almost everyone likes to take a NIMBY stance on storing nuclear waste. As a result, US power plants tend to store all of their nuclear waste on site, since they have no place else to go with it. So, because the public and politicians won't accept the realities of the situation, nuclear waste is currently being stored in lots of our "back yards."
Edit: The United States does not currently have a long term waste storage facility or a plan for one. Yucca Mountain, a little over an hour outside of Las Vegas, right by the Nevada Test Site, was proposed as a possible storage location in the 1980's but ran into fierce objections from locals and the state of Nevada. Unfortunate, as it's remote location actually makes it pretty ideal.
