My response was placed in another thread, it has nothing to do with this one.

And I think the world does need to be reminded of what happens when thousands or millions of people die.

We've lost touch with our humanity and it seems the only thing that brings us together today is tragedy.

Now with this nuclear event your talking about. You wouldn't want it to happen in Canada or the US right? that might have dire consequences for you and your family. So where should this Nuclear event occur. Your cool about millions of Korean deaths? I guess their lives are worth less right?

However, in light of the rising tensions and talks of war I think it's important that we ask ourselves a very important question.

Should there be at least one incident of Nuclear Weapon usage for everybody else to get the message?

Does an example need to be made, so that the world in conjunction will know to never use or threaten the use of such horrible weapons ever again?

I mean granted we had the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings during WW2, but those weren't nearly the caliber of weapons we have today. And I think people have lost touch with the reality of what could happen and what would happen in the event of a Nuclear attack.

Now I am not proposing we got out and bomb the next country who defies the world, that makes no sense.

This is a theoretical thread, to promote conversation about our current Society's mentality on violence and the use of Nuclear arms. It seems people have forgotten the horrible reality of past events and are just foaming at the mouth to get a repeat?

So I ask, is it required, in order for us to know the way forward. So that once and for all, people are aware, educated and scarred to death of this kind of power under a world leader's finger?

I'm starting to think the answer is yes, but I will not give a concrete answer until I've had the pleasure of intelligent replies from ATS.

Please weight in your thoughts.

For this 'demonstration' to be made, would you be willing to nominate your country & it's citizens to be on the receiving end of said 'nuking' then?

Somehow I think not!
