Agiel Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 1 Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope there's another explanation. "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully no civilians injured (as if Blue team would care that much, heh) although maybe unlikely considering the device. Edit : Ok, apparently a girl was killed. Might not be the batteries being made to explode rather than just the pagers being rigged in the first place. Edited September 17 by Malcador Why has elegance found so little following?

Zoraptor Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Gaza thread would probably be most appropriate. There isn't really any doubt who is behind it. Certainly not the funny thread. One can only imagine the reaction if someone put a similar attack aimed at, say, Israel, Ukraine or the CIA in there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoraptor Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 They're still used a lot in medical services for example. I think they were phased out here only a couple of years ago (no, apparently they are still used here as well). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amentep Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 French dig team finds archaeologist's 200-year-old note I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
