If spending money on a purely defensive weapon isn't worth it,...
In nuclear strategic doctrine an effective missile defense system isn't a defensive weapon because it upsets the MAD balance and it allows for the US to launch nuclear first strikes with impunity... Which off course is a neocon wet dream...
Anyone claiming that this or any other FPS game can be used as an asassisination training/simulation device obviously has never fired a gun. I'm a pretty good FPS player that has recently picke up pistol and rifle shooting and believe me, accurately hitting something outside of stabbing range is a HELL of a lot more difficult in real life...
I just rummaged around the site a bit... Apparently it's just a collection of nude pics of mostly goth and punk females ? As far as I can tell no intercourse whatsoever... how is that porn ? Erotica, yes, but it's not porn.. You anal retentive bible thumping prudes really need to lighten up..
Now, who can tell what power a machine gun will develop in 2020? Will we need a technology in 2020 that can stop technology from 2004?
I'm guessing that by 2020 the state of the art machinegun would be an automatic railgun with a cyclic rate of at least 100.000 and relativitistic muzzle velocities (if they can make the power requirements portable that is). That's one hell of a Pepsi challenge for nano-armor.
But this is the US military we are talking about. Since the US only picks fights with 3rd and 4th grade military powers, tech in 2020 that can stop tech from 2004 will be sufficient.
By 2020 I'm also predicting the end of the currently popular terrorist flavored threat and the beginning of Cold War II, the China Syndrome.
Somehow I don't think the framers were thinking of trailer trash gun nuts and wanna be gangsta rappers when they wrote "a well regulated militia"....
But then again I don't live in the US so I don't care if you USians shoot each other at a rate of roughly 10000/year over your precious 2nd amendment...
...as it is damn near imposibble to track someone in all camo darting through heavy woods
If your enemy has thermal imaging you might as well have no camo.... However, there are already fabrics out there that can shield a persons' body heat enough so they won't or only barely show up on thermal imaging equipment...
First, we need to persuade the Sheeple that (A) we are going to run out of fossil fuel
Blah, you give the sheeple to much credit... Lead them to a place where they can fuel up their cars without going bankrupt and they will not care where it comes from, even if it means if fuel is being produced from harvested Iraqi baby guts.
IMO the biggest problems lie within the corporate, and thus governmental, branche where our so called "leaders" focus on raking in the billions in the short term rather then do any sensible long term planning.
Made from real humans... If you think about it it makes perfect sense. Human fat can be used to produce biodiesel and 7 out 10 USians are overweight. Everyone who's fat gets a liposuction every few months, fat is turned into fuel and the American Way of Life of guzzling fuel and gobbling burgers like there's no tomorrow becomes selfsustaining !! Yay !!
...God's chosen people. Palestinians are just reaping the results of working against God's will and worshipping pagan gods.
Heh, and you still wonder why people hate fundamentalist nutters like you. It's weird that fundamentalist muslims and orthodox jews are at each others' throats... You have more in common then you are different
Call me paranoid but I just assume that any legal, commercially available cryptography software is easily broken by government agencies and their corporate masters. If it really was secure, it would be illegal....
Aliens are in every way superior and more evolved then our civilisation and have shrugged off silly archaics like organized religion a long time ago => They 'll have a good laugh at our primitve cultures and will then re-educate us
Aliens are technologically superior but otherwise not that different from the human race => we are truly fucked...
Alien civilisation is technologically inferior and their near pristine planet containing vast amounts of natural resources is discovered by us => they are truly fucked
having Iraq be free is important to our National Defence because, regardless of what those in DC say,
part of the war in Iraq is securing access to vital resources for the American Economy. In other words oil.
Well at least you recognize that the invasion was about oil (and oil related issues like Iraq switching to Euros as their oil trading currency).
Do you also realize that WMD, supposed links to AQ and "bringin freedom and democracy to the Iraqi people" are all propaganda bullshit aimed primarily at USians and that without Iraqs' oil fields Hussein could have maimed, tortured and play the archetypal nasty dictator for the rest of his natural life ?
Oh, and with the mess the US have created over there it looks like the corporate mafia you call government isn't getting control over the oil reserves because it looks like shrub, in an attempt to save his second term, is going to pull out by the end of June and let Iraq tear itself apart.
But look at the bright side, at least social darwinism gets to rid the gene pool of anyone stupid enough to join the US army and get blown to bits.
While being an avid tin foil hat wearer myself, this wouldn't work because of market dynamics : When optical disk manufacturer X sells (intenionally) vulnerable disks, producer Y will, with little overal impact on the disc manufacturing costs, produce disks with hard coating and market them as "scratch resistant" or whatever... Consumers would catch on and produxer X would have to follow suit or get out of the optical disk manufacturing business...
You are right, I have zero tolerance towards pedophiles. Sure, you getting off on pics of kids doesn't hurt them, I guess that is essentially true... But it won't stop there, will it ? Sooner or later you are going to act out your fantasies and end up raping kids...
But in your sick, twisted little world you won't be raping them will you ? The kids will "want" it, it's everyone else who's wrong and you are perfectly "normal"... The precursors for justifying your deviant behaviour are clearly already in place.
How is it more moral to kill someone than to look at naked children anyway?
IMO killing a pedophile is as moral as shooting a rabid dog.
I'm curious to know what you think of people who visit nudist colonies. These colonies do contain children, after all.
There is nothing wrong with nudity, nudism has nothing to do with lusting for kids.
There are many people (myself included) that are only attracted to children
First of all, there aren't "many" perverts like you out there, people like you are a fringe minority at best.
I am talking about the kind that merely depicts nude/semi-nude children. How are the (consenting) children harmed by that?
There is no such thing as innocent and harmless child potnography. Even when those pictures were taken in the most "benign" of circumstances, and you don't know that, those children, unlike adult porn stars, never "consented" to their pictures being masturbated on by sick fucks like you.
Do yourself and society a favor and kill yourself NOW, it's only a matter of time before you start stalking kintergartens.
Your original post implied that the US has a history of invading or nuking small countries, but you fail to give any facts
Try reading a history book... But I will spell it out for you.
The US is the only nation on earth sofar that has nuked another country (Hirsohima and Nagasaki ring a bell ?). You can try and justify it all you want but it remains fact, yes ? In that light, me writing will nuke another country is a valid statement, yes ?
As for invading "small" countries... Well Vietnam, Grenada, Cuba, Afghanistan, Iraq, just to name a few... Spew all the Cold War or War on Terror rhetoric you want, regardless of justification or political new(s)speak those are invasions, plain and simple
I ask you to back your wild claim that the US nukes whoever it pleases
I ask you to quote me saying that. I stated that The US doesn't nuke whoever it pleases because they can't do that without being nuked themselves...

This is the first step, I'm sure, to giving it to politicians Yep.... rats are next. Once we can infect rats, giving it it politicians will be easy.
Me !

Like one "totally abhorrent act by the military/government of the US" more or less is going to make a difference now...

The US doesn't have friends in international politics, only servants and puppets
I only use hotmail accounts as spambait anyway... so who cares...
The framers also wrote "all men are free and equal" while most of them owned slaves.... go figure...

It's simple, Joe Sixpack doesn't vote, he watches pro wrestling instead...

Obviously you don't, that was my point and you just proved it....
