A Message to the World:

[fascisthunter]

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

[Cant trust em]

1. Word up.

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?

[Horse with no Name]

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.

[Ordr]

3. Hmm.

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 :).

[Lex]

5. Not the point.

NO ONE should have them. Get it?

[Ordr]

6. "Get it?"

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

[Lex]

7. So let's just kill each other now and get it over with, eh?

nt

[Ordr]

8. "So let's just kill each other now and get it over with, eh?"

I can't say I agree with that.

[blues90]

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 .

9. When you figure out how to unring a bell,

you will become rich and famous.

[Ordr]

10. "When you figure out how to unring a bell"

Bingo.

[Lex]

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.

[Lex]

11. So you think countries haven't agreed to disarm from certain weaponry

before?

[Cant trust em]

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.

[idovoodoo]

18. Yeah, and the check is in the mail.

:eyes:

[Lex]

20. People with small minds think in small ways.

nt

[idovoodoo]

21. And some have minds so open anything can get in

or fall out.

[Lex]

22. wanting to end nuclear weaponry

makes me that, eh?

LOL.

[idovoodoo]

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

Wish to win the lottery while you're at it...

[Angela Shelley]

13. "Slight ideological difference" - Understatement of the Century!

[idovoodoo]

19. Yeah, I'll never forget how Pakistan bombed Hiroshima.

...

[stellanoir]

4. Totally well put.

It's astonishing that more people don't see this.

[slackmaster]

14. I think they should ban mosquitoes and cockroaches while they're at it

Since we all know how well bans work.

:eyes:

[fascisthunter]

24. I Think You are Lost

[slackmaster]

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.

[Angela Shelley]

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.
