No, he's right - you're pretty much a fucking moron. Or perhaps you can explain to me how this is Bush's fault even though your hero Bill Clinton let people like Osama Bin-Laden run free for years with little more than a slap on the wrist while at the same time lopping the BALLS off of our own military. Can you? I didn't think so, so I'm sticking with the "you are a fucking moron" explanation.
Yeah, this is all GWB's fault. I mean, he's the one who sat on his hands for the past five years while people like Osama Bin-Laden ran rampant globally, right? Uhh...no, wait, that would be your boy Bill Clinton. Typical clueless Democrat-line-toeing sheep like you are just priceless - and make me more glad every day that I voted for GWB.
No, it didn't work then. But then, of course, back then, there weren't tens of thousands of American citizens killed on their own soil. There wasn't the overwhelming support for such actions, like there surely will be if and when the perpetrators of this tragedy are found, so the operation won't have to be run with one hand tied behind its back, so to speak.
But, if you feel the need to dredge up tired old hippie sentiments about Vietnam and try to use them as the basis for what should be done about the events that transpired today, be my guest.
I just want to know who the idiot was that moderated that post as "insightful". How about a little meta-moderation?
This is the exact kind of "blame ourselves" type of thinking that got us into this situation in the first place!
For all of you Bush-bashers on this forum (and there are many of you)...well, guess what? If this does turn out to be the work of Osama Bin Laden, you have none other than your boy Bill Clinton to thank for this! He had NUMEROUS opportunities to take care of this guy and, surprise, surprise, didn't get the job done. Now look what has happened. I can just hope that Bush does the right thing and BOMBS THESE FUCKERS BACK TO THE STONE AGE, LIKE WE SHOULD HAVE DONE FIVE YEARS AGO!
Now we get assholes like this guy saying that we had this coming?!? UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE!!! This is what Political Correctness gets you. Are you happy now?
Sorry to melt down, but I'm just so pissed right now....
Well, I don't understand the point you are trying to make, that's for damn sure. What the hell *are* you babbling about, anyway? I didn't claim to support anyone, yet somehow I don't "understand" them, whoever "they" may be. Or perhaps you are speaking rhetorically? It's not clear from what you wrote.
Please go back and read what I posted, and try to explain to me what your reply has to do with it.
Yes, it's really that easy! We just disarm, and of course, everyone else will see the benefits of our good will and disarm, and we can just have this big, happy, peaceful eternal Woodstock Festival for a planet where everyone sits around and practices yoga and makes bead necklaces and sings "Kum-Ba-Ya"....
No, you're not a dreamer, just another hippie moron.
As the article states: "At the moment it is more than 100 times more expensive than conventional explosives, but we are still in testing. When we get to mass production we would be happy if they cost two or three times more"
Then guess what happens? Some other liberal group will start crying about the high costs associated with the production of these weapons. So, of course they will support the oh-so-PC "green weapon" idea now, because their real goals are to eventually get rid of these things altogether, unilaterally or not. That would be just fine and dandy, but unfortunately, we can't seem to get places, like, oh, I dunno, China, Iraq, and any number of former Soviet states to stop building weapons on their end.
Now, if they could just build something that would make liberals use a little common sense....
Well, I don't know whether to curse you or praise you. I can write Java code all day long, no problem. I haven't had much problem at all writing straight C# class files. I don't think my programming skills are the problem, generally speaking. But if you were to say that I had a problem making this convoluted ASP.Net crap work, you would be closer to the truth. So, I ask you, is that me or the environment?
Let's hope so? Let's PRAY so! I've been sitting here trying to write what should be (well, according to the "documentation", anyway ) a simple.aspx page forever now. I've just about had it with this total PIECE OF CRAP that M$ is trying to pass off as an IDE/Runtime Environment. The worst thing is that you can't even trace what is happening, so what looks like perfectly good code is generating errors, seemingly at random. AAAAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!
May I suggest a new mod category - "Frustrated as HELL"?
I have to agree. We don't even bother trying to make things work in Netscape anymore at my shop. Why waste your time debugging for a browser that accounts for less than 5% of your traffic? It is such an insufferable piece of crap.
As bad/inethical/outright evil as M$ has been in the past, IE is one thing that they did get right.
Now if they'd just stop messing with it (smart tags, et. al)....
But [centralized telcom architecture] also reinforced the AT&T monopoly. As undisputed owner of the phone network, the company dictated how it could be used by customers, who were forbidden to connect any phone to its lines except those that AT&T manufactured and sold. The phone company decided when and how to roll out new services and how much to charge. Innovative features had to pass muster with AT&T's engineers, who often rejected those they thought would encourage competition. Among the rejects: the Arpanet, the government-funded network that evolved into the Internet, which AT&T obstructed for years.
Arizona. Actually, I like California, believe it or not; I just can't stand the attitudes of some of the people who live there. They seem to look down their noses at the rest of the country. Maybe this is an unfair stereotype, and perpetuated by the media (gee, wouldn't that be a big surprise), but after a while, you just kinda get sick of people coming from the West Coast and acting like there is nothing of redeeming social value east of the Sierra Nevada.
Sorry to offend, but I've always felt that if these people are gonna shove their PC dogma (the political kind, that is) down our throats, the least they can do is practice what they preach.

They just broadcast it on CNN. There is some sort of activity going on in Kabul, Afghanistan.
I wish that I could forward my foot straight up your ass right now.

Yeah, that's really hilarious...you fucking moron.
Well, that just wouldn't be the Politically Correct "feel-good" solution now, would it?

Uhh, obviously not.

They've already tried that. Ever heard of MK-Ultra?

Yeah, God forbid that they should do it because its their FREAKIN' JOB!
I knew there was a reason they called these guys 'dicks'.
