Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not the victims of nuclear attacks. Check your physics books.


Since when were atom bombs not nuclear?  I'm pretty sure the 200,000 people immediately dead or injured didn't make the distinction.
This was what I found when I looked at the subject:

"Only two nuclear weapons have been used in the course of warfare, both by the United States near the end of World War II. On 6 August 1945, a uranium gun-type device code-named "Little Boy" was detonated over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Three days later, on 9 August, a plutonium implosion-type device code-named "Fat Man" was exploded over Nagasaki, Japan. These two bombings resulted in the deaths of approximately 200,000 Japanese people—mostly civilians—from acute injuries sustained from the explosions.[3] The role of the bombings in Japan's surrender, and their ethical status, remain the subject of scholarly and popular debate.

Since the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, nuclear weapons have been detonated on over two thousand occasions for testing purposes and demonstrations."

Sounds like they were nuclear to me, no matter how much you quibble over namenclature.

As my pic said, "not sure if trolling or serious business"

This Luke is even more fun than "mytelli!". Myttle ruffles as few feathers as he possibly can and runs as soon as challenged. Luke sticks to his guns while challenging everyone!

That's what we veteran (me: since 96) websurfers call "a freebie". Wink
You just sorta... watch certain individuals make assertions they can't back up then go 'down in flames' after a rebuttal or two. Their jaded grasp of empiricism... would have the main characters of "Dangerous Minds" and "187" laughing out of their seats. No, I don't think arguments like these necessarily involve people on the spectrum... just individuals who seem to think their opinion is automatically more merited and from a higher sort of authority than everyone else's.

Only Paris is (as yet) a harmless imbecile. Plenty of heirs and heiresses that fit the description.

Luke is just stating their opinion, might be different than mine. But they are welcome to it

By most objective measures Stalin was the most evil man in history. Luke thinks Stalin was a pretty good guy... he is entitled to his opinion. I know a couple of people who lived under Stalinist rule who might very strongly disagree with him though.

There are days I actually wish I had one of the M16A3s with 'launcher still attached. Wink

Some of the experimental M16s in development wouldn't be much of a trade-off either, provided they work. Granted... I would have to literally go Black Market before I find one. Wink
Cool

RE: Should the non-wealthy have children?

I'm still waiting for my government-issued raygun/phase rifle

If there is a cure for diabetes addison's both before I turn 35 in roughly 6 years, I might just get that chance. Of course... that would take quite the leap in medical science.

Alas, whatever hi-tech rifles and attachments are under R & D presently... I'm not willing to become a possible federal criminal just to have them.

("Caseless kinetic energy" weapons come to mind)
