The best Chuck Norris joke I've ever thought up.
When Chuck Norris sneezes, the world floods for 40 days and 40 nights.

Nuclear Deterrence & the negative impact it has on the world.
Recently I watched a video online about the Theory of Nuclear Deterrence. I can't believe anyone would put a theory like this in practice, because it requires that countries harbor nuclear weapons in order to work! For those who don't know what this theory is, this video explains it concisely:
Alright, so now that everyone is on the same page here, I thought to myself "Why couldn't there be a law to outlaw the manufacture and use of nuclear weapons? If national law outlawed nuclear weapons, under threat of severe punishment, then the world's nuclear powers would have no choice but to disarm their nuclear arsenal." Well, it has been attempted. This web page chronicles the events leading to nuclear law as it stands, but even that is not enough to get the world's nuclear powers to disarm themselves. They still cling to their theory of nuclear Deterrence. It's ridiculous. If someone cannot strong arm the world's nuclear powers away from nukes, we're inevitably going to face a nuclear apocalypse, and humanity will not be the only ones affected by it. No, every living creature on the planet will be affected by it. We should have learned from Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We didn't, and we need to, or history will repeat itself!

Dove World Outreach Center is out of their mind!
In case you haven't heard, they want to commemorate the 9/11 attacks by burning copies of the Qur'an, the holy book of the faith of Islam. I honestly think that if they go and do this, they will spark an international incident, the consequences of which could get us killed! But there are other reasons I'm opposed to this as well...
You see, I am opposed to the destruction of literature, in any way, shape, or form. That's something I expect of people from the Dark Ages. I seriously thought that after the Renaissance, people learned that information is valuable and should be protected, no matter how controversial or unpleasant it may seem. In a historical context, if people were looking back at our culture, what would they see? Well, they wouldn't see what has been destroyed. Preservation of information is important for humanity, as a whole, to reach true enlightenment.
Honestly, I think the U.S. should outlaw book burning. It would be a step in the direction of progress.
