Possesion of Biological weapons

Postby Dystopian Polymarchy » Thu May 14, 2009 1:30 pm

Possesion of Biological weapons


Biological Weapons should be allowed. This is because they only affect Animals and Plantlife. Though some people say that Bio-weaponary is worse than Nuclear weaponary, they are wrong. When a Bio-weapon containing a strain of anthrax is launched, it takes 60 Days for the anthrax to die off. If a Nuke goes, the radiation may take a lifetime to disapear.

THE POSSESION OF BIO-WEAPOONARY will allow nations to have a stockpile of Missiles and Ammunition Tampered with Bio-Warfare Technology. Also, this will legalize Provoked Use* of these weapons.

*Provoked use- Being attacked by another country and using zen weapon.

This again? Deja vu. At any rate, biological weapons are allowed. Many nations have them. I don't at all agree that "because they only effect animals and plantlife," is an arguement relavent to either case. For one thing, humans are animals. Mammals, to be precise.

Possibly "reassuring" nations that biological weapons be allowed, would be smarter than legalizing them in international countries, considering they haven't been internationally banned... yet. Because though we are against anything that can cause mass death - arguing strictly from a devil advocate's view, the Possession of Nuclear Arms act assures nations the right to arm themselves with weapons with considerably longer and lingering effects on the environment and further generations than biological weapons, in some cases.

Agreed. To all of it. The only thing is that a proposal has to actually do something. The very instant this adapts the appearance of a reassurance it is doomed to be considered illegal. Moreover, a waste of time.

Yes but in essence, wasn't the Possession of Nuclear Arms basically a reassurance to warlords and security strongholders?

In other words a right to bear something, which was never internationally banned in the WA years anyway - a reassurance.

I believe the OP meant animals including humans - as opposed to the effect of nuclear radiation
which continues to decay, and harm the environment and the people in it, for years to come.
