Thats why we shouldn't recycle bombs. We should use them instead.

If that was sarcastic let me be sarcastic back:

Let us join together in a public dismantaling of all of our bombs to make sure people from other countries are not at risk! :rolleyes:

can't they just find a barren area and explode them there? instead of trying to recycle?

Accidents do happen. Given the nature of what they do there I suppose we can feel some irony though.

Waste not want not. We wouldn't want to run out of explosives. There are terrorist children in the middle east who have to go days between explosions.

Please tell me a good reason why such a facility should be placed inside the city limits?

"Three major highways near the northwestern Louisiana site were also closed, and at least 800 area residents were urged to evacuate."

Are they really that stupid?!?!?!?

WOW. Thanks a hell of a lot. And here was me thinking you were going to keep talking crap about getting other countries i.e Iran and N Korea to stop building nukes and bombs whilst clinging on to your own little stockpile for dear life.

Bombs make stuff blow up. If we didn't have bombs, what would occupy the evening news

Surely you're not arguing for free for all nuclear proliferation, particularly to countries whose leadership has proven a mite unstable at best, and down right evil at worst?

We invented the nuke, we're keepin 'em. Though far far fewer than we used to have, and it's not like we ever use the blasted things.

Maybe there were illegal workers in the bomb recycling plants.

By the way, that would be a curious recycling bin: paper, plastic, glass, bombs.

What, seeing building disappear in a cloud of smoke isn't interesting? I think it is.

Oh I doubt that, more pissing and moaning about bird flu, west nile, or whatever the cataclysmic ratings whoring du jour is.

They're all different. Some just have smoke. Some have nice secondaries. In a valuable few, you can even see body parts flying through the air. God, I love those.

It's like a puzzle. Try and figure out the size/model of the bomb by the explosion and damage it caused.

Endless entertainment.

I'm aware. Note I didn't say "It's not like we've never used them". Just that we don't currently.

For all those people confused about what I posted before I say this:

Get rid of your weapons of mass destruction, and people will find your political position where you call for the nuclear disarmament of other countries much more credible.

Yeah. That's like when people want to end violent crime all the regular folks should give up their weapons and the criminals are bound to follow their example.

Outlawing guns is clearly the best way to disarm lawbreakers!

Indeed. The connection between the Military-Industrial complex and US government is pretty much symbiotic.

However any kind of reduction would make the US position a little more credible.

I'm not saying N Korea or Iran will just say, "Well if they don't have Nukes then we just won't bother building our own".

But surely you can agree that the US's position is a little hypocritical.
