Nuclear weapons are here to stay.

I will sprinkle in both actual and trollish arguments for this debate, I'll let you all figure out which is which. Reasons Nuclear Bombs will be around: Empire Building Empire Building used to be a common thing, there was the mongols, then the British, before that there were the Persians, Greeks, and the most famous of all, the Roman Empire. However these days wars are not being fought for territorial reasons or for empire building. Often wars are now fought between nations and the nations that lose still retain their independence without the need for ridiculous heavy or large bombing.... Nuclear bombs wont be here to stay because nuclear weapons were conceived and used in a time when wars were fought in a very different, obsolete, manner. Ideology and Religious Conflict: Religious wars are very rarely fought these days, and the only one currently being fought is only by the radical Arabs, and they arent a country or a place you can point to on a map..... These conflicts that nvolve religion and ideology in modern times are fought not between nations, but between nations and armed groups of individuals hiding within nations. Groups that cannot be fought through nuclear warfare.... Nationalism and Racism: First of all ive never seen a racist old white guy threaten a balck guy to get out of a bar with a nuclear weapon... So that argument right there is pretty foolish.... On the other hand nationalism is a valid argument but nationalism goes hand in hand with empire building, which is an obselete form of warfare as I have showed earlier. Survival: In all wars one side is fighting for survival.... But no war has ever occurred between nations that have had nuclear capabilities since nukes fend off the threat of war.... Nukes are currently the biggest deterrent to war, however when the next weapon comes along that is even more lethal or accurate then nuclear weapons will be obselete and NOT here to stay Revenge: Because every time my neighbor's cat sh*ts in my yard the first thing I think of when it comes down to revenge is NUKING the house next to me....... Nuclear war wont happen over revenge because revenge is relative to time, meaning the more time that passes the less revenge there will be (remember how we nuked Japan twice, they didnt start firing nukes back the minute they got them) " contend that this will not occur, unless a more destructive or effective weapon is found" - Pro admits that nuclear weapons are here to stay unless a far more effective weapon is found. I argue that nuclear weapons are not here to stay since in the future a far more effective weapon will be found rendering nukes obsolete. "I know of no effective weapon that was willingly eliminated from existence by its users without a suitable replacement." http://www.leonardo-da-vinci-biography.com... Leonardo Da Vinci invented a tank during the Renaissance Era that would have rued the battlefield. His invention was disregarded even though it was proven to work.... Nuclear weapons could face the same fate if they are shown to be too obsolete or if it was somehow proven that nuclear weapons kill an unnecessary number of civilians, but what are the odds of that?..... Oh right..... "War will always be around, but the weapons that will be used to fight them will change as the people who fight them" - Tupac Now my reasons of why Nuclear weapons will not be "here to stay" - The sun will one day explode and consume the Earth as it expands, Nukes wont survive, so they wont be here to stay - A polar shift will occur in the future causing nuclear weapons to technically be in different positions - If World War 3 were to break out, all the nukes would be fired and then there would be none left... - The US and Russia have been disarming stockpiles for years now, the trend could continue until there are none left - There are already weapons more deadly than nuclear bombs, its called a woman soldier who is having her period and is armed with a machine gun and body armor (UNSTOPPABLE) - Nukes are frowned upon in society - A Meteor could destroy humanity and nukes would degrade AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON WHY NUKES ARE NOT HERE TO STAY . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . There is little proof that Nuclear Weapons ever existed...... Think about it, how many times have nuclear weapons ever been used in war? Just two.... And those were 50 years ago too.... Other than that the only evidence that nukes exist are a few videos of large explosions and "documents" showing they exist..... Where did they keep these missiles? Underground in huge protective barriers? Ill call bullsh*t on that one too..... How many of these alleged death machines were built? Tens of thousands? I dont see any evidence of that either.... There is an inconclusive amount of evidence to prove that nuclear weapons ever existed. How could something be "here to stay" if it never existed in the first place?
