Notable alumni
gollark: Angry billionaires could probably destroy civilization in a more interesting way than just nuclear weapons!
gollark: But you have to sign a form saying you'll only use it for good and not evil.
gollark: Solution: maintain consistency, legalize all weapons whatsoever.
gollark: Oh, and regarding this I'm more inclined to blame it on stupid tribal culture-warring.
gollark: "Is giving everyone nuclear weapons an issue? No, if it kills people they are either stupid enough to get killed by it or stupid enough to use nuclear weapons for killings."
