        I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here. Freedom of speech is always relative to culture and power.

        My comment is more a funny way to dismiss OP’s opinion, not commentary on free speech.

    I imagine this whole operation in Iran was conceived in the shower. Because it was similarly well thought through as this nuke idea.

    You should stop taking showers. That would have a positive impact on the world: first, you might not have idiotic ideas like that anymore. Two, your chances of reproduction would get even smaller, which is also a win for mankind.

    We could nuke the white jouse and break down the US into smaller autonomous countries the sizes of the EU so they can’t do as much brain damage on the world.
    Same for China and Russia. Way too many super countries.

    That idea is so retarded Trump himself could have come up with it.

    It’s a sea passage. The only thing it would achieve is make the water radioactive, create a bunch of pollution and kill a lot of fish.

        Yes the radiated water would dillute pretty quickly, unless a radiation source would remain on the bottom. I’m not sure how that would work out exactly. Probably also depends on how far from the bottom the nuke would be at the time of detonation.

          wp:Underwater explosion#Properties of water

          (my bold)

          Effect of neutron exposure on salt water (nuclear explosions only) – most underwater blast scenarios happen in seawater, not fresh or pure water. The water itself is not much affected by neutrons but salt is strongly affected. When exposed to neutron radiation during the microsecond of active detonation of a nuclear pit, water itself does not typically “activate”, or become radioactive. The two elements in water, hydrogen and oxygen, can absorb an extra neutron, becoming deuterium and oxygen-17 respectively, both of which are stable isotopes. Even oxygen-18 is stable. Radioactive atoms can result if a hydrogen atom absorbs two neutrons, an oxygen atom absorbs three neutrons, or oxygen-16 undergoes a high energy neutron (n-p) reaction to produce a short-lived nitrogen-16. In any typical scenario, the probability of such multiple captures in significant numbers in the short time of active nuclear reactions around a bomb is very low. Salt in seawater readily absorbs neutrons into both the sodium-23 and chlorine-35 atoms, which change to radioactive isotopes. Sodium-24 has a half-life of about 15 hours, while that of chlorine-36 (which has a lower activation cross-section) is 300,000 years. The sodium is the most dangerous contaminant after the explosion because it has a short half-life.[2][self-published source?] These are generally the main radioactive contaminants in an underwater blast; others are the usual blend of irradiated minerals, coral, unused nuclear fuel, and bomb case components present in a surface blast nuclear fallout, carried in suspension or dissolved in the water. Distillation or evaporating water (clouds, humidity, and precipitation) removes radiation contamination, leaving behind the radioactive salts.

          15 hrs per half-life x 10 half-lives

          = 150 hrs

          = 6.25 days
