How can I answer a loaded question like that.

I do like the unmanned drones when used to do things like find terrorists and pirates, etc. I also like them because when they crash no one dies.

In Thailand, for example, fucking little girls is illegal, and the police rightly attempt to prohibit child prostitution. However, there are some smaller poor hill tribes still around, where 18 year old boys marry 14 year old girls, and no one does anything to stop them. Why?

Most nuclear armed countries do not want to disarm, and will not. Especially America and Russia. They may say they do, but it would not be difficult to dismantle their arms within a matter of a few years. So why don't they? Because arms races are still present, and the prospect of using a nuke again does not seem so alien to countries like the US.

Don't call me names again. You know why.

And placing security cameras in your shower may one day provide early warning to police of a potential murderer in your house. I suppose you're all for that.

The point would be, MMM, it is not polite to enter someones country illegally and uninvited.
This surprises me. I'll begin with the last point and move upwards.

When did it become an issue of manners to do something that is against ones laws? Point being doing something that is illegally is not warranted because it is illegal. Secondly we unlike a huge majority of countries (Great Britain does not thus can do programs like the "big brother") do have an written constitution that prohibits things like "putting cameras in showers".

I really think you don't understand why we don't disarm our nukes like other countries. Simple fact is we keep our interest at heart, and having an nuke is a huge deterrent to a war. Like for the fact that nuclear technology is common now, we keep nukes for the reason of rouge nations, to at least provide some barrier against strikes with said weapons. As far as using an nuclear weapon, what countries would not in overwhelming odds (self defense)? As I say that you need to remind yourself that there are still nations that keep there self interest at heart and need to, we are a sovereign nation. Last to add to that, America would never use an nuclear weapon for offense, for several reasons; ( actually having used them in an actual war, public reaction, and the effect it would have on our world standing).

We do not live in an world that has changed. Take that fact of third world nations, pirates, epidemics, wars, famines, etc. We as the human race stands have only advanced the way we kill ourselves (technology is born from war). did you really have to say that? I would think that for a second that the same applies to every western nation. Do I have to mention that even against USA laws an off-branch of Mormons preform polygamy, to add to that they even marry 20-60ish age men to 11-20 year old girls? Why does it happen? Because people find an way against public opinion, as such we do need to take care of it.

Iran, alright Iran is a huge problem. When did an fringe state become like the USA? To clarify we wanted nukes to end the war, unlike Iran who wants them to start the apocalypse. Seriously when the head of your state denies the holocaust and says we should wipe Israel off the map that's a problem. We don't do nothing Israel will, which can lead into a huge nasty situation that has a potential to end up like WW1.


1 Corinthians 10: 31-33
31 Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 32 Give none offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God. 33 Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

Besides, drones are stepping stones to the Big Brother system in place in Britain now. Thousands of security cameras in place to help stop terrorism... no terrorist arrests, thousands of petty crimes against ordinary British people.
It is not my job at all. Though why not use technology to our advantage against pirates and terrorists, right?

Should we set our guns down and pick up slings and arrows?

Am I the only one that's lost on the point you're trying to make?

Get your facts straight. More importantly get an education! At the very least read a newspaper or something before you rant about things that make no sense like a homeless guy high on turps.

Global Non-proliferation is seen as the first step to disarmament.

Russia and the US are more or less committed to phased arms reduction programmes.
