What if this war we are doing leads to using the nuclear bombs? Or even as annouying, EMP Shockwaves. That would be bad, I myself think the war should end after they find Osama and torture him, or at least if they wont stop then leave the rest of America out of it, I don't want war, or fighting, or anything. But if they go past the killing of Osama and into the conquering of the world or some **** like that. Then I don't know what I would say. I don't want America to start ruling the whole world. I think America has enough to deal with any way. (Such as crimes in bad areas) So, I just figured I would post my thoughts. If you have anything to say about this, then go ahead, thats why I posted this.

I can't think of anything that would annoy me more than if someone dropped a nuke on me.

Yep - though you wouldn't stay annoyed for very long.

Only the taliban would use nukes because the US is in nato and nato is aginast using nucular weapons. But the taliban won't either because the aren't capable of it so no need to morry.

It could... but if it gets much response we will only have to move it out soon anyway when the place closes down. I do suggest that you have a read through the stuff in there though Black Dragon. some of it is very relevant to your post.

Although I do agree with Donut, the inconvenience of having a nuclear bomb dropped on you is probably quite high. Think of all the time spent redecorating to match your new glow-in-the-dark skin. And thats only after you've rebuilt your house...

the only war that could lead to nukes that I can think of right now is between india and paquistan. and its probably not going to happen anyways, at least in the short term.

oh, and another problem of being n-bombed is all that zombie killing you have to do afterwards... wait, did I say problem? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Im just curious about something.

Black Dragon, may I ask how old you are? Im curious as to the ages of the people that think about nukes and the possibilities of their use. I mean everyone has heard of them, it just seems to me that certain groups worry more than others and Im trying to compile an age break down.

I'm with Donut here - if anyone dropped a nuke on me I'd be rather peeved, too.

A nuclear war is too risky - people are more than aware of the capabilities of such weapons and I therefore doubt they will ever be used. Sure there will be threats - but that will be all.
