report copyright violation nuclear weapons question hello all.. i have been a longtime lurker on this board but this is my first time posting. i have many questions that i'm hoping someone can help me with since you all seem to be very knowledgeable in this area..in terms of nuclear weapons i know we have tested over 1000 and i know the radiation has increased cases of cancer and killed livestock but shouldn't there be more of an impact? i know the theory with nuclear war ending life as we know it derives from the fact that it would cause a nuclear winter there for beginning some sort of ice age on earth.. with all the weapons that have been tested should we not have already brought ourselves to this or does it more have to do with all weapons going off all at once? another question being i heard that radiation dissipates quickly (with the most dangerous time being the first 48 hours) if so then how would it cause a nuclear winter? i know these are silly questions i am pretty bad with science so i am hoping someone can explain better.another question.. i am very sure this article has been linked here before but wondering if someone can give me their thoughts and either disprove the article or explain why it's true. [ link to heiwaco.tripod.com ] personally i find it's safer to believe they work, if a crazy person threatens you saying they have a gun you take it for face value. you don't want to question them about it or dare them to prove it!in terms of world 3... have all biblical prophecies been fulfilled already to believe world war 3 is next on the timeline? i would be lying if i said i'm not scared. when it comes to death. .it sucks sure but i'm not afraid for myself.. i'm afraid for my one year old! i will do anything to protect her even if it means giving up my life so she can have a beautiful, healthy, long life! i do believe in god and i find myself turning a lot to him these last few days but i can't help but be angry and feel so guilty bringing this beautiful soul into this world.. for what? so she can suffer and die before she even turns 3? i just feel so lost and hurt. if anyone can give me advice or guidance i would appreciate it more than you know. the aspect of the end being at our door isn't too much a problem for me.. it's more the aspect that i don't want this for my child! i want her to live her life! fall in love! see the world!i don't know.. maybe the time isn't here.. we've been close to a nuclear war once before maybe just maybe we can dodge this again. page 1
