Sonic Torpedo Defense

dylanduck writes "How do you defend a ship against torpedoes? According to the US Navy, you line the hull with loudspeakers and blast the incoming missile with such a devastating blast of sounds that it explodes." When asked about the possible ecological effects on marine life the military had no comment.

    I would like to know what stupid PETA-loving-tree-hugging-idiot asked this question. Seriously, we are talking about HUMAN LIVES and some green-party freak can only think of, "uh, well, what about the little fishies?"

    SCREW THE FISH! I would rather see one HUMAN saved and see ALL the marine life in the world wiped out than one HUMAN killed to save all the marine life.

    Ask yourself this question; if you were given the choice between being killed and having all marine life preserved or living and having all marine life destroyed, which would you pick? How about if the question was changed a little to replace you with your wife/boyfriend/lover/daughter/son? Would you make that sacrifice of the person you love the most to save some freaking fish? I know I WOULD NOT.

    I find it pretty sick that people could even ask "what about the marine life" when the only other alternative would be to sacrifice HUMAN lives. Men and women that have mothers/fathers/girlfriends/boyfriends/children that LOVE and NEED them.

    When will our world be free of these idiots that put plants and animals above HUMAN life?

    I will tell you my opinion. I would rather live in a world where no human ever suffers again that is void of ALL other life, than live in a world where non-human life flourishes and HUMAN life suffers. Yes, life would suck without other natural species, but I would do it to save HUMANS. Note: for the PETA-tree-lovers; I have personally owned: cats(5), dogs(8), spiders(50) (including the largets species Goliath Birdeater), snakes(~200) ([albino]Burmese python, African rock python, blood python, corn, rat, green boa, emerald tree boa, rainbow boa, boa constrictor, anaconda), Anoles, Chameleons (Oustelet's, Fischer's, Veil), Gecko (African Fat tail, Crested Gecko, Giant Day, Tokay), Iguanid(Blue Spiny Swift, Brown Basilisk, Emerald Swift, Texas Spiny Swift), Monitors(Black/Golden Tegu, Nile, Savannah) and Bearded Dragons. I don't think _anyone_ could call me an animal "hater".
