Judge Hades

Pixie Stick, I am always wrong except in times that I am not.

Someone needs to.

Unfortunately, yes. :'(

I have never died. Almost died several times in my life, but no actual flatlining as of yet. Um... Have you actually read my postings? They are absolute nonsensical drivel that no person of intelligence would even consider of reading.

Only because of luck, Alan.

Wouldn't be the first time.

If it doesn't go off then what purpose does it serve?

A death is a death, accidental or no they are both just as sweet.

I rather rely on chance than the human animal.

You want to dance with terrorists? Personally I rather just kill them.

Yes. They are designed to kill. Something that is designed to kill I cannot deem safe no matter what "features" they have.

Does it matter who is the one killed. No human life is more important than another.

Have you seen the movie Wargames? " Do not underestimate the dangers of a teenager.

Strawman? We are discussing weaponry then you go to a machine that has a utility function. The purpose of a car is not to kill, but to be used as transportation. The purpose of a gun is to kill. The purpose of a nuclear missile is to kill. If anyone is pulling a strawman it is you, Alan.

Not when it is a teenager on a cellphone yapping away is behind the wheel.

Dead is dead, Alan. Accident or not.

You didn't clarify. Of course 2 loaded guns, one with a safety and one without, are both equally deadly. It doesn't matter to the weapon if the death was on purpose or an accident.

Depends if the gun is loaded or not. A loaded gun with a safety is more dangerous than a gun without a safety unloaded.

Both are designed to explode. Both will cause the same amount of damahe (if they are the same yield) when they do. Just because one is controlled by chance while the other is controlled by a human does not mean one is safer than the other. In most cases I would rely more on chance than human sanity.

That is why I come to these forums. They are my metaphorical brick wall.

They aren't safe. Period. The safety level of a nuclear missile is zero. You can't have one zero safer than another zero.

That is just my view on nukes, Alan. Nothing more and nothing less.

I have sneezed with my eyes open. You are better off closing your eyes when sneezing.

An unssafe nuke is a nuke existing at all.
