ban all nukes or shut the fuck up about other countries "possibly" making them! The hypocrisy on this issue stinks.

We can't ask people to change their behavior if we aren't willing to do the same.
That's my line in the ideal world. What would happen though if we eliminated all of our weapons and other states didn't?

2. I have always questioned the absurdity of a country that has badass |
|
weapons denying them to the rest of the world. I've also question the stupidity of the countries who obliged.

Sorry, but I think nukes are safer in the hands of the US (and Isreal, France, etc) than in the hands of North Korea, Pakistan and others. Slight ideological differences :).

I "get it", but it would also be nice if everyone loved and respected each other, too. It's not going to happen.

15. That about sums it up , get rid of all the nukes |
|
If this can't happen then let the damn things fly and then when the dust settles hopefully the survivors will know how insane this has all been for so very many years .
I am sick of living with this sort of threat in the back of my mind my entire 59 years on this sad sorry planet .
If it's not some bully at school it's a freak with a gun or someone with a nuke . Get it the hell over with and just do it , let the history of mans foolish nature be in the final chapter .

12. Untrue. Countries have agreed to disarm from |
|
certain kinds of weaponry before.
It can be done with nuclear weaponry too. It's not impossible.

16. Some countries, but not all countries |
|
The technology to create weapons is still available. I'd be concerned if we didn't have some deterrent to other people using weapons on us. I do agree that the development of nuclear weapons has been a huge pandora's box of unintended consequences.

23. Wanting it is laudable; thinking it can actually be done is delusional. |

Since we all know how well bans work.

25. It's not possible to un-invent them |
|
Therefore it will always be possible for a rogue state or other bad player to build one.
The only hope is international treaties with functional mutual inspection programs.

17. A solution is in the making. |
|
When the well has run dry, the swimming pool will be closed.
When there´s no money for weapons, the USA will start talking PEACE.
