US Army Testing Robots with Shotguns

Darren writes "The US Army is testing robots armed with shotguns. The robots are called Packbots and have already seen some action in Iraq. It also has chemical sensors that detect nuclear, biological, and chemical contaminants. Maybe I've seen a few too many bad sci-fi movies, but robots with shotguns scare me."

    Actually, I believe Gore would have let France make all of our decisions for us.

    No he doesn't; but when the USA do bomb people, they tend to be brown people.

    When was the last time they bombed white people? That would be the Serbs. The Serbs were persecuting Muslims (brown people).

    And the time before that, the Germans. The Germans were persecuting Jews (brown people).

    The pattern emerging here is that when white people move in on Americas 'action', they get bombed.

    But brown people just have to be brown, thats all.

    Compassionate conservatives believe that killing is wrong, and thus will do everything in their power to protect the unborn WHITE American child.

    Here's a song I learned as a child in Sunday school.

    Jesus loves the little children,
    All the children of the world.
    Red and yellow, black and white,
    All are precious in His sight,
    Jesus loves the little children of the world.
    What evil you must harbor to spout such a lie. You lefties are the ones killing off the blacks with your baby-killing campaign. Pro-lifers want to protect all life. The action in Iraq is about protecting Iraqis and the world. You callous leftists wanted to keep the Iraqis in torture chambers. We had to kill the bad Iraqis to save the good ones, in the same way you have to cut out cancerous cells before the cancer kills the healthy cells. Iraq was one, big, horrible prison, and you wanted to keep ALL Iraqis in it. We SAVED them. The ones we didn't save died while we wasted time trying to persuade the Useless Nations. How many Iraqis died while we stalled? Hundreds of thousands! France and Germany lied while Iraqis died. Mass graves are everywhere. We haven't dealt with such a huge spectacle of human remains since the aftermath of the Holocaust. The Right is helping Muslims and peoples of all faiths and colors. We're protecting this American melting pot of the world's peoples and we're protecting the world from the scourge of Islamo-fascism. Military action isn't pretty, but it's better than inaction. Complacency in the face of evil makes you complicit in the evil.

    America is making the world a better place. We're spreading freedom. We're spreading prosperity. We're spreading happiness and opportunity for personal success and fulfillment. We are doing the Lord's work. God has blessed America, and America is blessing God by blessing the world. You leftists aren't qualified to say what's "wrong" because you see the Word of God and call it evil. You look at perfect love and call it a myth. You therefore have no credibility to call anything right or wrong, compassionate or non-compassionate. You engage in all kinds of devastating depravity and abominations and call them "rights." But true righteous acts in your view are stupid, backwards, or wrong.

    I'll tell you where your "progressive" ideas are going. They're "progressing" straight to hell -- speeding down the highway to hell while you think you're "enlightened." In fact, you are in darkness. You have no compass, no anchor, no beacon, and no map. You're lost at sea, trying to guide yourself in the fog of postmodernism, moral relativism, and situational ethics, while tossed around to and fro by the waves -- the myths of humanism and the temptations of hedonism misleading you and dashing you against the rocks.

    You're too full of hate to know what compassion is. We're saving, not killing, as many Iraqis as possible. You're looking for an excuse to hate America, but you can't find one. You have to make up one. If you had compassion for the Iraqi people, you would be singing America's praises. America is doing tremendous good for Iraq. We're saving lives and making lives better.
