I submit that the world would be a sinkhole of depraved mass killing if the bomb hadn't been developed. Why? Because the world wouldn't have been faced with the possibility of total annihilation. It's called mutually assured destruction -- MAD. It's the most apt acronym in history -- and the most ironic, since it ultimately led to its antithesis. Just how bloody do you think the 20th century would have gotten if we were facing the Soviets with only conventional armaments? I guarantee you we would have become embroiled in World War III. I guarantee it.

More than 100 million people died from war and oppression in the 20th century. Without the Bomb it might have been twice that number...

Good point.

MAD probably would work...if there weren't people who didn't care about
their own safety much less others. Of course the idea is to keep nukes
from these people's hands but because money talks that's not so simple.

Oh, I'm certain another global war will happen.

As to JJ's question... no. I believe that so long as even ONE person believes himself superior to another, and that he has even ONE devout believer in that sense... there will be no safety.

Words like safety and secure were born from fear. Had none us so much as a mote of spite in us, I firmly believe those words wouldn't even exist. Foreign concepts because there's no strife to justify them.



And such a thing is impossible. Edit: To clarify, such a peaceable situation is what is impossible.






So much said in here, and no one lashed out in apoplectic rage? Has hell frozen? Not the internets I know, surely. I thank you all for your self-control and maturity. Astounding!
