Does the threat of nuclear weapons worry you?

I find it a little concerning. I live in a place that makes The Middle of Nowhere look like a busy city, far from densely populated areas. In a "Fallout" situation, the living will envy the dead... at least some will. Judging by where I live, I'm going to survive, which I'm not convinced is the better option. It's just a lot of work.

I have lived with them for all my life and the world was a lot closer to nuclear war when i was born in the cold war then now.. Of course there could always be an exchange between India and Pakistan or Iran and Israel... And that would cause radioactive contamination that could effect my heath.. But you would need a larger exchange for instance between India and China to really cause civilization ending global effects..

So yeah it it is a major exchange then you would be better off dead... Once civilization is destroyed then it is only a matter of time before the safety systems in the hundreds of nuclear power plants would fail and then the massive release of nuclear waste from burning power stations would truly bring all life to an end on earth..

It’s not the weapons! It’s the people controlling them.

Yes, it's kinda scary. There's a good chance they will never be used though because that's pretty much suicide.

@Diotrephes ah, a religious thing? Thankfully the number of religious people has declined significantly in the past few decades. In another two centuries there may not be enough left to be significant in any way.

@NerdyPotato The thing is their fairytales affect all areas of our daily lives, mostly in a negative way.

I live close to a military target but not so close that I would instantly be vaporised. So It does worry me because radiation poisoning is a long horrible death so I likely would envy the dead. Cheers
