sobering thought.

since the invention of the nuclear bomb there have been more than 50 incidences of viable nuclear weapons being lost. most are in the depths of the sea on nuclear subs, ships or aircraft that have been lost, there are also at least 26 nuclear reactors missing also on ships or subs. this is a conservative estimate since we have no knowledge of the other nuclear powers (incidents). there is a term for the loss of a nuclear weapon, hence my tag (Broken Arrow) There are 129 obsolete russian nuclear submarines tied up at various ports throughout russia which the russians cannot afford to decomission. someday the sea will glow. There are 8 known nuclear states, USA, UK, FRANCE, CHINA, RUSSIA, INDIA, PAKISTAN, N. KOREA, ISRAEL. iRAN AND SAUDI ARABIA are suspected of having or known to be developing nuclear weapons. the ozone layer wont get a chance to fry us we will do it ourselves.

Even better - since all of that stuff is secret, the reality is probably far worse than you realize.

Depending on your age, you may have missed the days of real paranoia about all that. Too bad.

what ever happened to satire, or repartee, but then I guess education would be involved somewhere. lifes too short to worry. expletives indicate limited vocabulary.

Nothing, you posted facts and factoids all of which are already well known or at least well suspected. BD is right, whatever is already in the 'public domain' we can be pretty sure there is more and worse we don't know.

But that's not my point which is....what is your point? That the end is nigh, or that we're not half as smart (and twice as self destructive) as we like to think we are?

Oh yes, sentences without correct capitalisation, contractions lacking in apostrophes where called for and questions without '?' marks are also indicative of linguistic and/or educational limitations.

How's that for repartee?

My bank details don't have Secret status. If they did, then I wouldn't be able to see them. A few years ago when I was mired in the aerospace biz, maybe, but not now.

I wasn't looking for an elaborate approach to display my distaste for your negative preferance of topic.

Sometimes, expletives are spot on, mate. I feel I got the message across with little syllables. ASS = YOU.

I'll go ahead and add to this tirade that I agree with Dong. If you're going to pose a wildly irrational point to everyone, please try to back it up with links for reference. I've taken the liberty of doing so for you, rude mouth.
