Ban The Bomb.

[MrScorpio]

For humanity's sake.

[jody]

1. Great idea. First let's disarm police in D.C., Chicago, Detroit & other murder leaders. If criminals

disarm in those cities, then the U.S. can destroy our nuclear arsenal.

Until that miracle occurs, I support keeping a strong nuclear retaliatory force.

[AlabamaLibrul]

2. The nuclear bomb wasn't designed as a retaliatory force. It was an offensive one. n/t

[jody]

6. You need to study military history. Every weapon can be used offensively or defensively. The only

difference is who starts a war.

[AlabamaLibrul]

20. Very cute dodge. If *you* had read military history, you'd know exactly what the nuclear bomb was

developed for.

[jody]

23. If you read military history you would know US' atomic bombs prevented Russia from successfully

conquering Europe and many other countries.

That's pure defense to any thinking person.

[AlabamaLibrul]

25. Domino Theory pt. ??? We fired on Japan, not the Soviet Union. n/t

[jody]

27. LOL have a peaceful evening. Goodbye. n/t

[AlabamaLibrul]

29. Have an evening full of nuclear bombs and MIM-104 Patriots. n/t

[MrScorpio]

4. Ha ha. Very funny.

Your point being?

[jody]

9. My point is very simple but apparently it's too complicated for you. n/t

[MrScorpio]

10. When I was in USAF basic training, we used to bad mouth "Jody" all the time

I can see why

[jody]

13. Did you finish USAF basic training? Apparently not. n/t

[MrScorpio]

15. Apparently, you're looking for a flame war

Keep up the good work

[jody]

18. You posted the OP. A utopian dream that implies the US should unilaterally destroy our nuclear

arsenal.

A statement without a shred of evidence suggesting how to accomplish that miracle.

A problem that has baffled the best minds in international policy and science.

Why not just say we should ban hurricanes, earthquakes, and other things that threaten humanity?

Wait, the Blue Wizard has the answer

[MrScorpio]

22. I can see that you're pretty much a light weight in the insult department

AND I've been insulted by experts before, so I should know.

Step up your game, man. Really.

BTW, your Pogo sigline is quite apropos.

[jody]

26. Please outline your plan to ban the bomb. OP called for that so explain to the world how to do it.

[MrScorpio]

28. I almost forgot: Peace, baby!

This one is for you:



(The "Plan" is a closely guarded state secret)

[jody]

32. And one for you also.

[MrScorpio]

33. I have a feeling that that image gives you some warm fuzzies deep down

Thanks for showing some love (In your own peculiar way).

[jody]

35. For those who experienced WWII either in combat, support, or back in the states, VJ day is still

clear in our minds.

Interested people can see the jubilation in those who celebrated the end of the war in Hawaii by watching a remarkable homemade film, VJ Day, Honolulu Hawaii, August 14, 1945 by Richard Sullivan.

[MrScorpio]

38. Do you work for the History Channel?

If not, you should.

[jody]

39. LOL I still want to read how you propose to enforce a ban on the bomb. n/t

[MrScorpio]

41. Ok, ok, ok, you've forced it out of me... Damn, you're good.

I'm going to lead a US Peace Army to take over the world



Our motto is "Pax Pax".

Wanna join?

[jody]

44. I've been a charter member ever since returning from Vietnam. Where have you been? n/t

[MrScorpio]

46. Working hard in The Super Secret Double Ought Division

The Super Secret Double Ought Division never sleeps.

[jody]

47. Does a "double naught spy" outrank a "double ought spy"? Does each require a "6th grade education"?

Just a bit of Jethro humor in response. :hi:

[MrScorpio]

48. Only if you have a TS-SCI security clearance

And six weeks training at the International House of Pancakes

[jody]

49. I stayed at a Holiday END Express last night, does that count? n/t

[MrScorpio]

52. That'll do it!

[Swede]

3. That genie is out of the bottle,MrScorpio.

nt

[MrScorpio]

5. I know.

But we should never give up

[Swede]

8. I agree.

I can't see how to do it,in the world we live in. Too much hated and mistrust.

[MrScorpio]

16. Damn Skippy, Swede

It's the worst part of our natures

[spanone]

7. k&r..

[MrScorpio]

11. Peace, baby!

[spanone]

56. amen

[TBF]

12. Agreed on that. nt

[MrScorpio]

14. Peace, baby!

[greytdemocrat]

17. Yeah right.

As I see it, the only responsible world powers that have nukes are the USA, GB, FR, and Israel.

Any others should be "discouraged".

[MrScorpio]

19. That's what the big boys say

I say, ban them all.

[greytdemocrat]

57. And who exactly does that???

Space Aliens?? Don't even suggest the UN please.

[proteus_lives]

21. Sadly, we're not there yet.

Someday, far, far into the future Humanity will be ready to trust each other.

But I don't think any of us will see that day. Or our children or our children's descendants.

Someday.

[MrScorpio]

24. We should never give up hope. Peace, baby!

[proteus_lives]

30. No we shouldn't.

A quote I like, (which I'm probably mangling from memory).

"Man can live several days without water, a week without food but he can't live a single moment without hope."

[MrScorpio]

31. That's a sweet quote

Thanks!

[jody]

34. I have two personal friends who spent 6 and 7 years in the Hanoi Hilton. They never lost hope. n/t

[The Straight Story]

36. Sure, Who is gonna enforce that ban and how? (nt)

[MrScorpio]

37. I'd like to know myself. But in the meanwhile, Peace, Baby!

[The Straight Story]

42. Peace back at ya old friend :)

The world is an ugly place at times. Amazing how it is the wealthy who create wars and the poor fight those wars for them.

[slackmaster]

40. I've banned nuclear weapons from my property.

My little corner of Paradise is a nuclear-free zone.

[MrScorpio]

43. Damn Skippy, Slackmaster. Peace, Baby!

[slackmaster]

45. We're all doin' what we ca-a-a-an!

[AlabamaLibrul]

50. Net recommendation: +5 votes (Your vote: +1) K&R, MrScorpio n/t

[MrScorpio]

51. Peace, baby! And sorry for missing you before, Welcome to DU!

[AlabamaLibrul]

54. From a member of the poverty draft of 1990 ---

:patriot:

[Ichingcarpenter]

53. They are not ready as humans

So much hate and anger


No wonder they don't listen

to WHAT IS SAID , in order to listen.




And survive.

[MrScorpio]

55. As Always, Peace, Baby!

58. Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
That call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.


Well maybe some will wake up.
