Nuclear Bombs

Hmmm...tricky one because the Japanese would not have surrendered easilly, and the principle of MAD has given the world peace

or a simple pointy thingy like azword it has no other use only for killing people. the spear and the bow and arrow can be used as hunting "tools" but the sword iq just for killing. an axe can be used for chopping wood but a sword just for killing. there are also alot of other weapons but these are the most common I think

You mean Man is god's most evil creation??

The Atomic bomb is just something to powerful for its own good. Its so powerful no one but a complete IDIOT! Would ever use one, unless in DIRE need.

I dont understand the rankings of weapons in some kind of imaginary ethical system.

With nuke around, we are like sitting on a time bomb. If the bomb exploded by accident, just too bad. If terrorists got hold of one and drop it on your town ,just too bad.
Whether you like it or not, we just hv to face up to our creation and pray. Good luck to everyone.

Actually as bad as it sounds, Tobodai does have a point...

Originally posted by edgewaters Nukes are really bad, if you're a fan of world wars. Otherwise ... those who have them are guaranteed sovereignty (and often, peace in their own land) against all aggressors. Not so bad.      The other nice thing about nukes is that they are the only major tool of national defence that cannot really be used either for oppression of domestic dissidence or aggression (unless you want to be on the receiving end as well)

Never really veiwed it like that, but it is most certianly a different way of veiwing nukes, not so much as a Killing Device, but as a peace keeping device!
    

Nuclear energy, just as all other technologies, can be used to bring evil upon man. The real evil is not the device, but those which control them. Nuclear energy can serve as a useful power source or it can be used to bring unimaginable death and destruction upon man. Of course, there is a wide range of "evil" inventions, though it is those who choose to use them for ill-intentions who hold the real evil. Remember Mary Shelly's "Frankenstein." It was not the monster which was inherently evil, but rather Dr. Frankenstein's decisions to "play God" and the townspeople's refusal to accept that which was different ultimately turned the monster evil.
