Did i ever say that i "seriously" didn't think that there was a weapon capable of taking out a chunk of a country? nope. don't recall ever saying that or alluding to it. and so what, let em blow chunks. some will survive, thats all that matters. it's the ones who survive that will stop the fighting.

Not too long ago they were fought using a bomb that could take out a small country (which you mentioned with Japan). You see what's happening? Weapons are getting more deadly -- and quickly.
oh, i get you. i see where you're coming from. and you're right, history does repeat itself, but if i have to start quoting myself to you (which i feel i almost have to do), then what do you think that says about your capabilities to read and comprehend text?

also weapons seem to be getting friendlier by the minute. do some research. you'll find out what i mean. what weapons are you talking about?

You think they will find a good weapon and say "meh, this is pretty good, I say we stick with this forever now." Unlikely
well, I refuse to believe that every nuclear weapon on the planet would be detonated at the exact same time. i don't think that the governments of the world will stop trying to create that "ultimate weapon", but they will, mark my words, stop fighting eventually. According to you, i'm the only one who wants peace. but peace isn't the right word to describe it is it? how about a truce? that seems more like it. An eye for an eye will make the world blind grasshopper.

i know what you mean. and you just drove my point further home. lotsa bombs go boom boom, people die, nuclear fallout affects farms, crops, water, and then everyone begins to die slowly, energy needs to be re focused on the more important things like just staying alive. you can't fight a war if you're dead. you're children can't fight a war if you can't have them. i repeat, truce.

- weapons blow things up
- weapons that already existed and are proven to be deadly have obviously been refined over the last 50 years
- therefore, a weapon that will blow LARGER amounts up
- also, most likely more than 1 country are the proud owner of this weapon, some maybe even enemies
tell me something i don't know.

yeah that's because you're narrowminded. you should definitely try thinking outside the box instead of just regurgitating what the media tells you.
