Same reason why all western nations-including the giant China don't want to have a nuclear war-

You're totally missing the point! In which case such weapon would be used? There are only two possible scenarios:

1- GW Bush goes "General Ripper" on us and strike North Korea first - and whatever the hell he wants to bomb as well, the highest the number of megadeaths on the first night, the better.

2- The United States waits until North Korea attacks Japan - which is as close as they can get so far. So we'll have millions of Japanese and Korean civillians dead.

And on BOTH alternatives, you'll have a nuclear winter than will vanish humankind from the Earth - which is a good thing, if you think about it.

So PLEASE, again, anyone, give me a good reason for keeping nuclear weapons. Without using the words "just shut up" or "liberal commie bastard".

Ok then I'll take your proposition-

1.What the hell is up with you people that think "General Bush" is the fucking King of the nation?Do you have any sliver of an idea on how the American Government works? NEWS FLASH! HE'S NOT! HE CAN'T FUCKING GO "GENERAL RIPPER" on his own--like he would do that!? It has never been done and never will be done you crazy person-

2.What do you mean wait until they attack Japan? What do you mean thats as close as they can get? The TaiPong II missile can reach my home of sunny San Fransisco. Just because you saw one of them fail a test, does not mean they don't have the capability-

3. Hehe--Nuclear Winter that will vanish man kind from the earth? Your a real defeatist--you don't think that your people will be the ones that will get out of this one? Nuclear weapons are a powerful, powerful deterrent---the baddest of the bad are working on getting them----there is so many reason why we need to keep Nuclear weapons. Ric, this ain't the cold war! Get out of that 1976 frame of mind!


Alrighty I'll buy it.

1- It was one of the two proposed scenarios. While the president has, theorically, power to authorize such measure and access to the codes (the nicknamed "football" that supposedly follows him wherever he goes, although I find this unlikely), this is a somewhat unlikely and absurdist event - if the USA is to EVER use nuclear weapons, this is one of the two possible alternatives.

2- Alrighty, I'll IGNORE what Faux News and Cartoon Network News said - that they can only reach Japan, which is pretty unlikely to me - and buy your theory that they can reach San Francisco. SO, the only way the USA would use a nuclear weapon in retaliation is after San Francisco is TOAST. Millions dead. So you'd say "Oh but that's just so they won't hit us again with another one", well, don't you think they can SEE beyond that strategy? Do you think they expect anything else? Kim Jong or whatever the man is called will be in a bunker, ready to go, ready to sacrifice poor north koreans who have nothing to do with it. And suppose North Korea abandons such plans, what is the next target? I'm asuming China - the space weapon race against China has already began, aparently. No on can win a nuclear war.

3- No. I belive NO ONE would get out alive of such scenario. Would take years, but life itself would be doomned. Even being optimistic, the world will be a fucked up place to live after a nuclear war. BUT! aparently that isn't so, this is as real as global warming, nuclear warheads only kill "teh evil terrorists".

And wow, if you ever get yourself trapped in a socialist party convention you'll probably have a heart attack or something, easy there...

It's from Dr. Strangelove.

2.I never said if a country hits us, we should strike back using a hundred bombs, oh dear no---on the other hand its very, very unlikely that any missile would get through our NORAD and defense web array---
3.I meant get out as in you honestly seem to think that their WILL be a nuclear attack somewhere, on someone-----answer----most likely not-----but it is possible---
Hehe---seriously though, I have even heard people on the news refer to Russia as the Soviet Union recently-----about the socialsts, those people are in a stuck, confused state of mind, thats why they are still socialists---

Okay, so, please support full nuclear disarmament.

I was just saying that you tend to angrily raise your voice against anyone with a slight liberal tendency, so if you got stuck with anarchists or socialists, can't get any more "liberal" than that (although it's a different "left" wing), I'd expect you to either kill them all or suffer a heart attack.

"The same kind of people that go against every single thing science has proven about the obvious effects of such weapons are the same kind of people that deny global warming to be caused by polution and blame it to be a liberal commie invention to end freedom or something (might as well deny the Holocaust, as some of these people are the ones who happily sang with Borat to "throw the Jew down the well")."

Uh... What? From my experience it is the same people who dislike Nuclear weapons that try to argue the holocaust never happened.

If our current nuclear weapons don't kill us all, someday we'll probably discover an easy way to access antimatter and we can blow the earth up that way.

Seriously, the worse thing that is going to happen if there is a nuclear holocaust, is that apes will out evolve us, and we will end up living in the NY underground with snazzy new telepathic abilities. Unfortunately these telepathic abilities wont be useful against the ape people because they are too dumb.

The whole thing is pretty retarded. I like how so many people are afraid of this, but yet there are so few people joining nuclear survival groups. If there were every going to be a nuclear attack on the US, guess what? You would very likely survive it. If it killed you you would be in the minority of the countries population, so unfortunate soul who live near the blast area. Your odds are extremely high that you will in fact live through a nuclear attack. Now, what happens during the next few days, that is the real question. I like how popular belief is that if it happened we wouldn't even know it because we would be dead so soon. So very untrue.

I completely agree with you---I also laugh at people who say the US has so many nuclear weapons, that if we launch all of them, the blast would be so catastrophic the world would split in 2.

Whoa! So you're saying that TWO bombs will wipe out the human race? We've set off what could collectively be compared to that in the past (especially considering North Korea doesn't have the "Big Boomers" yet; oh God, I just quoted Jar Jar in a conversation about politics! The end IS near!). Nuclear weapons are damn dangerous, but they're not frickin' asteroids.

He's saying that if NK nukes Japan, then we nuke NK, China nukes us, we and the west nuke China, Russia nukes all of us, we nuke Russia, India and Pakistan nuke each other for the hell of it (peer pressure), Israel nukes whatever they can hit in the middle east, everybody nukes Israel.

South Africa, Australia, and South America then rule the world until the atmosphere collapses.

It will just be contained to the nearby Castro in SF--which reminds me--at a cross walk as I was passing through there, you know you are in the castro if you see to ugly chicks walking, one with her hand in the back pocket of the other.
