(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); It seems like everyday you hear about countries on the news supposedly developing nuclear weapons, like Iran and North Korea. These countries are saying that these nuclear "experiments" are for peaceful purposes. I would like other members' opinions on this issue. Do these countries developing nuclear weapons pose a threat to the civilized world as we know it?

Obviously if nuclear weapons fall into the wrong hands they'll be a threat. In particular to the Western World.

North Korea already has Nukes and has openly tested them 5 yrs ago.
They are crazy but secular and mainly interested in their own situation, and China has strategic interests in their control.

Iran is another issue. They are oil rich and have no strategic reason to desire Nuclear power for anything other than making a bomb.
Their leadership is questionable on its ability or desire to keep them under control.

It completely destablizes the entire region and could mean the end of a major western city, if they let one out of their control.
Israel certainly has the right to be paranoid over it. Their entire country could be destroyed with one blast.

The whole idea of them getting one or several scares the shit out of me and is the only real fear of a Nuclear attack happening in the next 50 yrs.

Time will tell, but I hope the rest of the world powers prevent them from getting one.

I don't think anyone should have them. I could see Iran using it on Israel, there's tension between the two countries. NK are just weird, who knows if they would use it, or just want it.

Thing is, America don't want anyone to have Nuclear weapons, yet they're the only ones who have used one. Kind hypercritical, don't you think?

Nuclear weapons, in my opinion, are for cowardly ways out of a war. It stops wars by killing all the enemies, but look at the effects they cause. Hiroshima are still getting the effects, mutations, skin diseases and so on. It's horrible. You don't save life by using them, you take life, the enemies and the civilians who want nothing to do with anything about the war. Look at Chernobyl, no one can live there for hundreds, if not thousands of years and that was a nuclear reactor that blew up.

I'm not surprised the person who invented it killed himself (I think). I wouldn't be able to live knowing what I made and what it can do to people, especially children and babies.

The media greatly over-exaggerates nuclear weaponry and its harmful effects. The worst part about nuclear weapons is the big flash of light - it's rather like looking into the sun too long. It poses a threat to those of us with fair skin, so we'll need lotion and sunblock. Sunburns are bad, m'kay?

It was once believed that weapons could be obtained by hacking the "matrix". This has been disproved numerous times often resulting in spinal injuries and random attacks by ninjas wielding dual butter knives.

In recent years there have been concerns about world leaders obtaining or using these nuclear weapons and storing them in midget-operated uranium mines located in the interspersed tunnels of mountain hideaways. I can put those fears to rest though by saying it's actually a mass global storage of corn dogs.

People long thought that the first nuclear bomb was invented by America with the help of East and West European scientists, but it was actually mass produced by the Romans with the help of Jesus Christ and his club of 12 renown scientists.

A nuclear weapon should never be confused with a nukuler weapon, patented in 2001 by George W. Bush. This weapon is lethal only to Republicans, school teachers and some guy named Eddie in Colorado. The only test of such a weapon was in North semi-East Korea, mistaken for a nuclear test. It failed the test, getting a 58% on the written section, but an A+ on the oral exam. It made CNN right behind the story of Anna Nicole Smith's death.

Even though this is intellectual discussion, that made me laugh. Well done, sir.

I thought I was rather intellectual...I just choose to show it by throwing random crap in the middle of something that could be considered a fact.


Laughter is the best medicine for this shitty world we live in.


Ma'am*

Oh, that was intellectual, just not in the sense I meant. Still gave me a laugh, ma'am.

Nuclear Weapons, in my opinion, are useless, its a scare tactic to indicate that whoever has these weapons is very " Powerful " and " Dangerous " . And i think that no country would launch an attack to another country due to civilians. Not unless some country wants to Start WW3
