At the time, people called it the Third World War. Now though, we refer to the terrible events of late 2010 in a different way. We call this the First Nuclear War.

The above being said, if a nuclear war starts, do you think the world suicide rates would sky rocket?

I've never seen the connection before but that's pretty interesting if true. Probably has something to do with those horrible toxins in those bombs. Once exploded that stuff will stick around in the vicinity for a longgggggggggg time.

I totally agree. The more Countries that have them, the more chances there are of them being used.
Maybe we live in a time that people in the future will look back on in envy at what we had.

I just watched a documentry called countdown to zero. It made me sick that we have all these weapons. What made me more sick was the fact that some of these countries were Praising God when they developed their nuclear bomb!
I believe if we don't get rid of these weapons, then its only a matter of time that these weapons are used in a war, or by terrorists, or by accident.

That is a false logic.
The less countries that have nuclear weapons, the more chances of nuclear usage.
Hence
Nukes will always be used against nations which don't have them, if everyone have nukes, then nukes will become obsolete.
It is not logical to use nukes against countries nations which can nuke you back
