Nukes are just bad, let's put it that way. But notice how there have been no wars on the world scale (e.i. World War I, World War II) since the invention of nuclear power?

[Ace Pace]

I thin without nukes WWXXXXIV would have happened , everyone is afraid of starting the end of the world

[wEvil]

Cause so far everyones been too scared to do it.  Not that it will make a difference - it should be interesting to see what happens on that front when all the oil runs out.

[LtNarol]

as some genius once said (and i cant remember the name, probably Einstein) "I know not what weapons WW III will be fought with, but WW IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

Yup...like in Red Storm Rising, World War III, and there weren't nukes used at all (but they started thinking about them at the end of the war)

Is it just me or do all the major world religions go through a period of extreme corruption and militancy, I mean the Jews were basically a concurring force in the "promised land", later the Christians had the crusades, and the inquisition, now the Muslims are having there crusades (jihad), it really amasses me how similar Christianity and Islam are, both have there founders basically worshipped as gods, both preach tolerance and compassion, both have been hijacked to further political goals, both have holy wars.

I guess it makes sense; all three religions originated in the same place (referred to as the Semite religions) and were created around similar philosophies.

Cause so far everyones been too scared to do it

Yeah, that's pretty much why nobody has really used these since WW2, along with the fact that it would not sit well with world opinion for the same reason. Still, someone desperate enough would probably go right ahead with the "scorched earth" strategy.

thats the most rediclous oxymoron i've ever heard.
 
If there was any kind of enforcable "law" then NO NUKES would be the only legal thing.  China is in possession of nuclear material as is N.korea, Pakistan, India and probably Iraq as well.

I wouldnt trust any of them to sit the right way round on a toilet seat given the populations capacity for rational thought, but luckily the threat of a nuclear winter seems to have stopped them wiping us all out.

Still..such technology should have never been made available to them - or us for that matter.

Yeah, it was signed around the 1960's between the nuclear powers of the world, Britian, Franch, USA and Russia. Nuclear weapons are needed anyway, to prevent asteroids etc from wiping us out.

mmh? they'll just use one of the many "undisclosed yet" power sources they've made up, and won't use since they don't make valuable money like oil does

[CP5670]

Propane should work well, and it would reduce reliance on some of the oil-rich "rogue nations" in the middle east. Humanity is too reliant on the environment right now to make that a viable option, but that should change in 50 years or so with the progress of technology.

[Bobboau]

"Judaism (believed by Jews) is very, very different. They do not believe that Jesus Christ was God; they believe that the Messiah is still to come"

well duhh, I know that, I was refering to the "one big diference" between between christianity and islam, the "if you're not good enough, and don't perform all your rituals everyday, then you don't get to 'go to Heaven'.", doesn't Judaism have a similar position

propane (natural gas) comes from the same stuff oil does, they're all considered petrochemicals.  when oil runs out,so will natural gas

[Zazicle]

They come from the same thing, but there is more natural gas left than oil. Oil will run out first.

[Grey Wolf]

The primary differences between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are these:
1) Christ is the Messiah in Christianity; in Islam and Judaism he is considered a prophet.
2) Christianity doesn't have ANY dietart restrictions; Judaism (pork and non-kosher foods) and Islam (alchohol) do.
3) Muslems believes that Mohammed is the final prophet God (AKA Yahweh/Iehovah/Allah) sent; obviously, Christians and Jews do not.
4) Christians are waiting for the Second Coming; Jews and Muslims are waiting for the First.
And yes, I do know that I used 'I' instead of 'J' in Iehovah, this is because there is no 'J' in the latin alphabet.

[Zeronet]

The Middle East will be in serious trouble when the oil goes out, but war might break out when theres a tiny amount left to fight over.

[Kamikaze]

When there's a small amount the prices will rise so high no one will want to buy anything oil-based and the industry will just go Boof...

Another email from Sandwich!

What, me worry?

Anyway, we're going to be moving outof Jenin today, to another location nearby. It's not the same as getting out, but it's a step in the right direction.

Woohoo!
