Gfted1 Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 CIA's Solution to Killing Too Many Civilians: Knife Bomb. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
injurai Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 WTF. So it literally is just an apple slicer that falls from the sky? I thought it would rain a cluster needle sharp poles down, but this is literally just a falling hunk of metal with katanas on the side.
Gfted1 Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 Lol, I had the same reaction. I was expecting some cluster munition that disgorged spear-like penetrators but instead...a high precision apple corer. I guess I cant dispute the results though. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Malcador Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 Not a bad idea. Though given it's the CIA, they'd probably still end up killing the wrong people. Why has elegance found so little following?

Gfted1 Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 I envision our X-37 as a proof-of-concept platform for "rods from god", but Im sure it much less exiting. Maybe useful for grappling and deorbiting other satellites? "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"

Guard Dog Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 Interesting read on the angst of political incorrectness in old movies: https://thehill.com/opinion/technology/443282-will-political-correctness-kill-classic-movies I can see how the changing times might mar people's enjoyment of old movies and TV shows. The concern of course is that this leads to banning. It's a short step from outrage to elimination. And there is a history of that. Just ask Mark Twain. I remember a few years back you tube stirred up a controversy by banning and removing old Bugs Bunny cartoons. Not because of Warner and copyright issues but because to some they are offensive. It never fails to amaze me why people can't just shrug it off with "things were different then". If anything it's a opportunity to appreciate that things are better now. The problem is some people guard their anger zealously. They hold onto it tighter than money and never seem to want to give it up. 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

I assume you are talking about the writer of the article, because he seems to be finding 'political correctness' everywhere. As is pointed out with the historical references, this isn't a new trend. Every generation tends to be aghast at certain aspects of the previous. Sometimes it's justified, sometimes it isn't. Thankfully people tend to jump to the defense of those who deserve it, as we see with Mark Twain. But sometimes we lose an entire civilization worth of work, like when Diego de Landa burned the works of the Mayans. I just have a hard time getting worked up over the idea that The Cosby Show is harder to find now. It's a small thing. I think it's a rather big step from outrage to elimination, actually.
