So two Third World developing countries with unstable politics... oooh good old UK and America to jump in and save Pakistan and India from having a wee fight in a small corner of the world...
I wonder who sold them the weapons in the first place...
Hmmm

Ooh, there's a trick to getting rid of that! You take the out of synch bit and fold it over. Simple!

Got to admit, I never thought of that scenario. That is pretty worrying.
However, having seen details of a large number of suicide bombers in the Middle East over the last few months, it's not too much of stretch of imagination to see some fundamentalist with a wish to become a martyr drive a nuclear device into a city in his car and 'push the red button'
THAT's what worries me.
I won't say it's stupid having nuclear weapons, since the research that created them has led to a number of other creations which benefit mankind.
The more we prepare for war, the better equipped we are to deal with peace.
Aparently it only takes 8 of them to blow this planet apart, theres no possible defence from them and every country has them.
Nuclear dust spreads alover the place, like when the Russian powerstation blew up not so long ago, it effected people in Britain, which means if they launch one at us they'll get the effects anyway, along with a couple of bombs from us and other countries.
So why? Nuclear bombs couldn't be used anymore anyway I don't think, they'd be no end to it. meh.

On the other hand, this country is great because the people who pay taxes support the people who are unable to support themselves, such as mothers with newly born babies, people with physical and mental disabilities, people who have injured themselves and who need to be looked after in hospital, and people who are too old or too young to look after themselves properly, as well as students, who will, in their turn, get a job and repay their debt to society many times over.
I was brought up by a lady who had to rely upon the government for a long time, when she died, I had to rely on the government to look after me whilst I finished my A Levels, and then my degree. I had never paid tax, well a little bit through part-time work. Now I have a job where I pay quite a bit of tax, but I don't begrudge a penny of it to those people who genuinely deserve it. Fraudulent claiments should be made to pay back every penny, plus interest.
Tax is good when enough is spent on education, social welfare and the NHS. If we spent a little less on military hardware and more on looking after people, this country would be much better off for it.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm........makes you go all dreamy dosen't it!
