I made an inflatable cruise missile, that rises like an erected fallus when someone comes near, and when you stop moving it goes down until there remains a residu that gives the impression of a giant used condom. I called it worldpeace as I think it’s interesting to see how for the past 100 years the worldleaders try to secure global peace by bringing in more and more indestructable weapons. In name they arm themselves for peace, but to me it seems more like porn for the powerful. All the propaganda with which people are made to believe that it’s necessary to have all those weapons, or that it actually would be possible to get to peace by making more and more weapons, is just a bunch of hot air. Those weapons are the reason it’s impossible to get anywhere near worldpeace. It’s such a ridicule that by the end of the cold war there were so many weapons we could tear the whole planet apart 6 times. All the money spend on these weapons could have solved the same problems I think about 6 times on a peaceful way, but it was obviously a better idea to throw all that money at the trash next to sanity.
It’s a such a big farce. The lies and propaganda about how good the cause is supposed to be make me look at it more like those people are teenage boys, showing off with the size of their ‘cock’ instead of leaders of a country that are trying to accomplish worldpeace. All these weapons are about as usefull to peace as using the same condom the next day again is usefull to protect yourself from getting any disease.
