[QUOTE="STG, post: 1351553, member: 17272"] As I stated previously, the same argument was made by the inventor of dynamite. Imagine what it must have been like to see dynamite arrive and then used in war for the first time. Nuclear weapons have already been used in war. If Japan had nuclear weapons would they have used them? I think so. The reason they haven't been used since is because the people who were alive to personally witness and experience the horror of nuclear weapons were all traumatized as a generation. This generation was then able to compromise politically, get things done, run a country and budget, and fight wars with strict rules of engagement. All of this was because they were literally forged by the suffering and horrors of the Great Depression and WWII. How many of the generation that survived WWII are still around? Those people had real experiences and memories of suffering. To us its just black and white pictures of another world. Why do you think politics are as divisive as they are today, the country and rule of law seems to be collapsing, nothing gets done and the debt problems get worse? Because the people who ran things before clown world are all gone. Ever see a child take over a parent's business and run it into the ground? Pretty much the same thing. [/QUOTE]
