They all take lives on a [b]massive scale, don't they? 😕[/b]
I doubt a chemical weapon exists that can do the damage that a nuke, AIDS or the Spanish Flu can do.

Originally posted by AThousandYoungPerhaps a better way to approach this is asking what manner of death is better? Is it via nukes? Is it via chemical weapons? What floats your boat?
Should chemical weapons really be considered equivalent to nukes and plagues? To me, they're just not quite in the same league as the other two.

Originally posted by FMFI think still to this day, the most people killed here in the States by a single civilian is 79. he chained the doors to a disco shut, threw gasoline in, and burned the whole club down...so in some way or form,, any weapon can work.
Looking at the back of my fag packet, I'd say more than can be killed in a regular sort of way by an artillery shell. There. plucked from the sky. A definition.
A chain or cable strung head high across a freeway?
In a regular kind of way sounds odd does it not?
Napalm was and still is horrible. A bit of tide laundry detergent mixed with gasoline.
