Holy shit I almost took you seriosly. Then I read the part about how "them" created AIDS lmfaoooo

And I thought I was a good shitposter. Whew. I am thoroughly outclassed.

People villify nuclear weapons to ludicrous proportions, and that was kind of my whole point. Would you, as a thinking and feeling person, if given the choice, choose to be instantly annihilated by a nuclear bomb or live to be poisoned over decades? I'd choose to meet the sun, personally, but I'm always astounded how many people think the poison is somehow the lesser of these evils.
