Them insisting that all religious signs (Christian, Muslim, or otherwise) be taken down from public buildings: not hypocritical. Them insisting that Christian symbols be taken down and replaced by Muslim ones: hypocritical. Them insisting that private citizens not display their religion while wearing the symbols of their own faith: hypocritical. Them insisting that private citizens, of whatever faith, be allowed to show their religion: not hypocritical. Now, which situations are you describing? |

Multiculturialism in Europe has failed. Assimilation has failed. Immigration has failed. Secularism may soon too fail.
Sit back, sip some tea and enjoy the slow demographic/religoius change across Western Europe. As Mohammed rises up the charts of most popular boy's name as it already doing in England you will all slowly start to wonder where seperation of church and state went. Many muslims may be secular, yet those who aren't don't comprise a minute quantity like apologists would like you to believe. Yes, those Christian nutjobs may still be around (gotta spread the love to appease the apologists). Alarmist? Perhaps... Maybe this cultural shift is not necessarily a bad thing. Only time will tell. |

Europe doesn't have a choice when it comes to immigration. The "traditional" Europeans are not having enough babies. Or do you want to emulate Japan? There may be 2 million foreigners over there, but it's out of a total population of 120++ million.

This is like the ancient times where Saracens and Christians battled each other instead of making advancement in science and literature. Just that things get deadlier and dumber.

---- Only problem is that the term "rogue group" or "rogue states" can be applied to any nation that uses nukes after signing the doctrine meaning that it is pretty much the same thing except a different jargon. Nonetheless, I do agree that the elimination of nuclear weapons is rather unrealistic but it is a good goal for the world to pursue as that there is absolutely no positive beneifts of possessing or developing nuclear weapons. |

It was quickly obvious that the entire concept of "nuclear war" or "nuclear exchange" was a fantasy in cognitive dissonance. The idea it was a "war" rather than a collective murder-suicide, at least. All us engineers would gather periodically to watch Dr. Strangelove and play "spot the real life character we'd met".

It pretty much is if we ever want to go into space. To get from point A to point B over interplanetary distances in a reasonable amount of time, you need engines with power outputs on the scale of nuclear weapons to do it. Let's not forget that with current technology an orion drive is the most likely method for that and it used actual bombs for propulsion.

Remember the Orion project? After this mandate kicks in, we FINALLY have enough resources to get that space program going.
I think the only risky things that would actually hit us are gigantic alien rubber ducks from outer space.

All nations that have nukes will keep them to some degree, I'm sure. Also, they are mankind's greatest raw power. Why shouldn't we keep some in case the day comes that we absolutely have to blow something really big up?
