Worrying, but hey they could have a "make drivers indicate when turning one" or ooo a "i wont hang about the entrance to the supermarket"

orr

" make drivers drive with care and at speedlimit"

I came across this the other day. It is nice that some people are thinking well out of the box for some creative way of trying to defeat an enemy which doesn't just mean more and more raw firepower.

I agree with that, but still sometimes I think they are thinking outside the box of possibility.

Could be said that they are not thinking at all. :rolleyes:

Personally I think the yanks should start by traing their military to be able to fight. Having been in the sh*t alongside american troops, I can honestly say they are rubbish. In the view of the american military, its better to bury the enemy under an avalanch of high explosives, than to do the job with the bayonet. Proof of this approach can be seen with the battle for Falujah (sp). Better to drop 500lb 'dumb' iron bombs from 1500 feet, than to target the enemy with accurate small arms fire.

They arent developed becuse they wont give as much profit to the arms industry.

Seriously, any 'weapon' that is non lethal would be good, imo. Personally, I think they should all just play Counter Strike or Medal of Honour against the enemy, and whoever wins that will have won the war they were fighting.

Suddenly spotty teenagers would be considered like Navy Seals are today. Van Damme's next movie would be all about him playing HL2... with bad acne and him wearing NHS glasses too.

Can I just add a word of caution with this thread, try not to post homophobic comments, similar threads have turned nasty so I hope this thread doesn't come to this. Many thanks. :)

Re: USA reveals 'GAY' bomb
 
Can we have a bomb which makes people, think before war?


That would be a true peacemaker missile. :D

Re: USA reveals 'GAY' bomb
 
BTW in my previous post I meant: "way of trying to defeat an enemy which doesn't just mean more and more raw firepower."

Something I have wondered about though: Chemical weapons are generally banned. Does that mean an anaesthetic-styled gas which knocks people into a sleep is banned too?

The Russians tried just such a non-lethal approach to the theatre siege the other year but overdid it and killed more hostages than would have died in a conventional assault.

Up to a point - the problem is that authoritarian regimes then have a useful weapon to use to suppress internal dissent without provoking more dissent.

If it was women soldiers they should have just sent me over when I was younger - just about all the women I ever went near and started talking to, spontaneously turned gay... atleast that's what they said to me....

No but, if they used it elsewhere, send 'em down here & I'll arrange for their 'morale' to be taken care of !;)

Does sound a bit ambitious though doesn't it? I mean, most people I know I think would need a lot more than pheromones to turn gay. Especially the fundamentalist conservative religious types that are the probable intended targets.

Temporary maybe, but that would bring in the question of people's self control.
Since civilian causes have been looking for aphrodisiacs for centuries I would think it would have been more productive to wait for them to find one before starting your own research. But then what would happen if terrorists got them :shocked:
:D

I think all the world leaders should fight it out in a boxing ring instead of going to war
wouldn't cost as much either

If it's good enough for the video of 'Two Tribes', it's good enough for me :)

Fan-bloody-tastic story though surely this should be posted on the Stupid Yanks thread (although this may then undermine gun-luvvin Punky's denunciation of raw firepower!).

"distasteful but completely non-lethal" blow to morale (morale - thats a new word for it) ;)
