Okay Guys, because an impending Nuclear Holocaust is something that can't be stopped (just slowed down) I thought it would be fitting to have a discussion on the matter.
Your thoughts, people...

it will go ahead im certain of that but my theory is it will be alot more computer done and probally less damage as oppoesed to EMP (electro magnetic pulse) damage. however i also strongly feel that by the time it goes ahead one country will devolp something WORSE than a nuc (sounds impossible and scary but they said nuc was impossible). so it could even be end of humanity. not to mention russias vault of deadly diseases where over the years they put a specimen of each life threatning disease into a special medical facility with the intentions of releasing all of them should another world war break out

Its all sound so grim, imo i think anyone who has the weapons will be stopped before they can launch them. I can't imagine anyone being stupid enough to fire them. *Is glad he doesnt live in a city*

Well here's how I see it...
In a way, WWIII has already started, the so-called 'War on Terror.' It's affected basically the entire world, and there is conquest going on, basically just the Americans trying to take interests in the Middle East. Iran is developing Nuclear weapons, and although the UN says they are going to do something about it, the UN just talks about stuff, instead of actually DOING something (much like Janeway, lol.)
Computer Warfare I agree will be part of it, but probably only the beginning. If any side with nuclear weaponry feels threatened enough to such an extent, that they believe that their country may be wiped out, they could resort to use Nuclear Weaponry on their attacker's homeland, as a counter attack.
After the attacking country gets hit, they fire back, but then the defending country's ally comes in, and decides to fire back with their friend.
In the end, there ends up being two sides, Capitalists, and the Fundamentalist/Communists and soon after the Computer Warfare destroys all of the economies, and Nuclear Warfare has wiped out most of the population, those sides will all split up and we'll end up having a free for all war, but it's not too violent now, because everything's destroyed, and there is practically no technology left to use.

"It's really scary, I was freaked out, remembered the Flu Epidemic of 1918. This time, not only would the virus be ALOT worse, there has also been an astronomical improvement in globalization, and travel.

You really do have a grim look on life,
basically I just found out about this 'Politics Thread' series, so I decided to post my opinion in each one I was slightly interested in.
WWIII is a horrific and terrifying thought, just to begin with. It could be a nuclear holocaust, or it could be similar to the Cold War, with robotic spies, and technology leading the way in the war (which I personally believe would be a good thing, out of the choices that are possible, nessesity is the mother of invention) I don't think it would ever get any closer to the stage than the Cuban Missle Crisis.
***Looked it up on Wikipedia, has come back to finishing reading the post, or already knows about it just skipping this entire line, break***
And Hopefully, nothing will ever get that bad again. I my be a bit too... optimistic, but I hope that eventually humanity will unit, kinda like a bigger version of the EU (European Union), but ofcourse with everyone in it, just there are still many more wars to be fought, and that's kinda why todays heroes will be diplomats instead of war hereos... imo

Personaly i agree that mankind will kill itself. i dont think theres a hope in the universe for us=/ i think there are many differint ways we could die. Personaly if i had the world right now, if everyone was like "We follow lord john" everything would be fine, but whos going to follow a 14 year old, over weight, depressed emo kid with a dream? lol
heres what i would do
first, build a "nova" witch would be a signle bomb that can compleatly destroy earth and say "If you rebel, or try to stop me, i will blow us all to hell, and then some. so let me do my job"
then i would retune our legal system so that no amount of money or power could save you from crime. then i would give science a MASSIVE bonus of cash and say 'Find a way to cryo people safely and find a way to go faster then light. and buy your selfs a new TV, you deserve it'
then i would retune our sat grid and but a full defence grid in orbit, no freaking aliens are bugging us anytime soon with a grid protecting us=)
then i would compleatly unit the world under one banner. Then i would build a fleet of space ships and start exploring the space around us. and so on entill i died.
see something people dont understand is everyone has it wrong. you need a tirent to START a nation, to unit everyone by force, then keep them togather with domocracy. you cant do what the us did, they started perfect and are sliping back to a powerful center. dureing the early years of our nation if i was pissed i could have impeached the whole government and redesigned it to fit the needs of the people. now you cant even get rid of a bad mayor without monthes of work, and theres no way in hell you can do anything about the main government. see im supposed to be aloud to go to the government and be like "i don't like you, and neither do these other people. we want to call a vote to get you the hell out of here, so start makeing calls buddy boy" and their supposed to be like "awwww fine" *makes calls for vote* now if i did that they would be like "OMG TERRORIST KILL HIM!!!!" *is sprayed with bullets, cop plants gun, bomb and dope on body, and a note saying that im a terrorist and i hate cristians and worship the devil*
heh... the doctor has a dark view on life..i have a dark view on the government..and life...
