37. You forgot to count the deaths from Hamburg, Dresden, Tokyo, Frankfurt

Vietnam, Kobe, Rotterdam, London...

You also forgot the gasoline that drove the tanks and the jet fuel that fueled the bombers in Iraq. You forgot that petroleum caused the war.

In any case, you are completely out to lunch on the subject of the uranium there, what it is, what it does. We're all against tank shells, but the attention paid by rather uneducated people only to tank shells with uranium is frankly, absurd. Almost all of the toxicity associated with tank shells has to do that they're, well - maybe you haven't heard this before - designed to kill people.

Surprised?

I'm always filled with revelations.

In any case, you're not against petroleum, are you?

I am against petroleum, so I really don't need to hear from you about your piddling made up concerns about uranium.

Here's a clue for you bub, without uranium the doom that is about to be faced is going to be much, much, much, much worse.

How many cancer deaths have been caused by waiting around for wind to displace fossil fuels, something, by the way, it will never do.

And since you mention cancer, you have no evidence whatsoever that commercial nuclear reactors cause cancer. If you don't know what the fuck you're talking about, make stuff up.

And while we're talking about things you forgot or deliberately ignored:

You forgot the hundreds of millions of people who died in the 20th century from particulate pollution.

What?

You don't give a rat's ass about any of these?

Why am I not surprised?

Nuclear power doesn't have to be perfect to better than everything else. It merely has to be better than everything else and it is.

You have selective attention is arbitrary, which is why you have no fucking idea what you are talking about.

If you really cared about war - and you don't - you'd be screaming here to ban fossil fuels.

But that's not what you're doing. Your simply repeating slogans and mindless rhetoric you learned on science free websites in the vast circle jerk of self-referential antinuke websites. You're full of shit.
