Then why the thread title "I love nuclear bombs"?
I hope to fuck you don't love nuclear bombs.
Nuclear bombs kill people. LOTS of people. And the people who can use them are those in power - Bush and friends (EDIT: and possibly some terrorists, but it's all the same, right?).
Who says noone's lying about how many nuclear bombs they have anyhow?

My point exactly, if there's a nuclear arms race we don't know how powerful the arsenal will be.
--- Quote from: skyman8081 ---The CURRENT world nuclear arsenal won't destroy the earth.

So what?
This doesn't make me feel any safer, the current nuclear arsenal is nothing compared to the potential arsenal after an arms race.
--- Quote from: skyman8081 ---And even if we used nukes to turn the earth into radioactive slag, life would still persist. It's hardy that way.
There are becteria that are resistant to radioactivity.

Yes, why should we care if a nuclear war wipes out humanity and all higher forms of life? :rolleyes:
--- Quote from: skyman8081 ---In regards to radiation:
Alpha and Beta Radiation are relatively harmless, a newspaper sheet or clothing will stop it.
Gamma radiation is a bit nastier, but nothing that those aprons the doctors give you during X-rays couldn't handle.
If you want to know more, I reccomand you visit the RSICC

Radioactive isotopes getting into the food chain would be a far greater problem than direct exposure to radiation because they're bio-accumulative. Alpha and Beta radiation may be pretty harmless outside of the body but when taken internally in the form of radioactive isotopes they can be deadly.

nice to see somebody making sense for a change, well done jones.
what most of you fail to appreciate is that the earth is made up of biosystems, all of them interact with each other, making the earth one big biosystem. fuck up one bit, and the rest will be fucked up to some degree in various ways. the more bits get fucked up, and to a higher extent, the more fucked up everything gets, and if enough parts of the system get fucked up, then fair enough, the earth carries on, but it becomes uninhabitable for a lot of its previous inhabitants, of which our species is probably one.
remember that the bacteria and cockroaches are not the targets of a nuclear war, humans are, that's why humans are likely to fare worse than bacteria and cockroaches.
Jenda:
Yeah. Who cares about us. Bacteria and roaches rule.
