How do you feel about WMDs?

[Turmenista]

As said by Wikipedia.com, a Weapon of Mass Destruction, or WMD, is a nuclear, radiological, biological, chemical or other weapon that can kill and bring significant harm to a large number of humans or cause great damage to man-made structures (e.g. buildings), natural structures (e.g. mountains), or the biosphere. These weapons, not only being able to cause massive amounts of death and destruction, can also cause harm to the Earth's environment as a whole.
Here are just a few of the problems WMDs make:

-They bring massive amounts of harm to the environment and man made structures
-They pose serious health risks (radiological cancers, mutations)
-They lead to hundreds of thousands of death
-They cause serious fear and pain (e.g blister agents)
-They break Human Rights and should not be used at all
-They are challenging, if not impossible to dispose of when activated
-Preventing them is a problem for some

What is it we're supposed to be discussing here?

It's nice having an occasional reminder of what it looks like when a person is attempting to initiate a circlejerk.

no

1) they prevent large scale conventional wars between major countries who have them

2) they could be useful against aliens in the future

Pulling a Sibirsky isn't going to keep this thread from getting locked. Flesh out the OP a little more so we know what we're supposed to be discussing.

Anyways, I hate WMDs,especially Chemical weapons. Although they would be useful against aliens we'd probably be killing each other with them before they even arrive.

1) Agreed.

2) Any Extraterrestrial species capable of crossing light years of space will shrug off our WMDs like we do gnats.

Yeah, let's go back to the days where we didn't have to worry about having a nuke dropped on us if we went Blitzkrieg! Nothing could possibly go wrong!

[Scomagia]

As a pacifist, I support nuclear weapons. Chemical gases and biological agents, however, are fucking awful.

Only after we have actual world peace.

WMD's are a set of horrible weapons but weapons like those will ensure that a quick victory is achieved so that there won't be wars that span over a decade and cause the death of thousands.

[Pimps Inc]

Let's say we "banned" WMD's and every country with them disposed of them.What if some terrorist or country disobeys and launches them we would have no way to retaliate

[Fartsniffage]

WMDs should be legal to own for all civilians.

Last time that bitch next door puts her rubbish in my bin....

Good luck with that.

......then you you will send a WMD next door in turn activating the American and Russian nuclear systems and causing a nuclear holocaust.

I like this idea. I could fire chemical gas shells at the bar across the street. No more drunken idiots keeping me awake, no sir.

[-The Trade Federation-]

I am completely neutral about WMDs...

But WMDs, by definition, represents:

-Any nuclear, biologicsl or radiological weapon capable of causing widespread death and destruction

These do not include:

-Kinetic Bombardment
-Heat/Laser Rays
-Conventionnal Bombs/Bullets
-More...

So kinetic bombardment...Oh yeah !

Not if I just throw a canister of VX gas through her back window.

It's true.

[Uelvan]

In the perfect world, all WMDs would just go away and no one would use them. Unfortunately this is not the perfect world. Even if somehow magically, all WMDs were disassembled, how could you be sure someone wouldn't make them again in secret? Then that's also going to ignore the hard part of actually disassembling them all too.

Wouldn't it spread around your street and then.......you know kill everyone
