Basically, as it says on the tin, Ahmadinejad is going to make some kind of announcement in the next few days. Knowing the usual methodology of that arm of Irans diplomatic corp, this is probably more a case of 'Stop looking at Syria!', but still, it will be... interesting to see what is announced.
-
"We bad."
-
It'll probably be, "How are you gentlemen? You are on the way to destruction..."
-
What you say?
-
yay.
i dar them to nuke us, i seriously dare them. they detonate a nuke in any major city, i bet the entire mideast gets glassed.
-
This ought to be just great...

You guys are ****ing deranged.
Although, I have to say I kind of agree. But only in the same way that I'd kind of like to witness a plane crash. Definitely something you don't mention on a date.

I'd like to seem them launching their nuclear-tipped SCUDs on something protected by missile defense systems (either Israeli or US). Then, they could get nuked (or at least invaded) without too many people on our side dying. Anyway, Iran has to be taught a lesson.
-
And I wish a lot of israeli children would die horribly in a nuclear blast! Totally awesome. Glass the bastards.
-
Have you seen these SCUDs? It's the same kind that's on display in museums in Poland. Even the simplest missile defense system is capable of intercepting all the missiles Iran could launch in it's current condition.

Well, you got me. I'm not sure what exactly to make of your reply, here... :blah:

Okay, this has gone far enough.
-
I think we should instill a fixed-term ban for anyone who tries to use the excuse 'I was demonstrating Poe's law'. Because all it really is, is an attempt to find an excuse to act like a knob.

Why thank you, I'll be sure to pass that kindness along to my 3 daughters, all of whom were born here.

I just spent the day at the zoo with them to celebrate my middle daughter's birthday, who turned 2 just today.
(http://staff.hard-light.net/sandwich/images/2012-02-12%2012.55.55.jpg)
2 years ago today, she was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around her shoulders, preventing her from emerging all the way. During that minute when she was stuck there, she was unable to breathe, and once they finally cut the cord and she came out all the way, she continued not breathing. During those interminable seconds, I was comforting my wife that the childbirth ordeal was finally over, while at the same time hiding from her the fact that our daughter wasn't breathing - all the while praying to hear my daughter scream, cry, whimper... any sign of life at all. It took about a minute, but finally I heard a cry and knew she was alive.
Today that same daughter is happy and healthy, no thanks to well-wishers like yourself. Your kind words were so powerful, I don't even feel that Proverbs 26:27 is appropriate.
Thread unlocked (apologies, moderators). Bring it.

speak for yourself, the "world must burn" ideology has gotten me laid at least twice.

I'm sure those women were of high class and impeccable moral character.

one was an anorexic schizophrenic, the other was a nymphomaniac fat chick who would bone anything that moved.

Jesus still loves them all. But no further details are necessary.

I'm still trying to grasp how people cheering for Iran to be nuked is somehow OK, but zookeeper's sarcastic reply pointing out the insanity of the whole situation is somehow horrible...
-
Well, the problem for me is drawing the line between judging posts by intent or by content. The thing is, Zookeeper was indeed trying to make a point, but the whole methodology of causing attention through controversy is so vastly over-used nowadays that I can often struggle to know who is genuinely trying to make a point and who is simply using the whole 'Poe's law' argument to get away with posting something that they would never, ever get away with if they had not.
There are times when that level of sarcasm is needed to hammer the nail home, but comments like that in a subject when one of our own administrators is an Israeli AND a Father is not the best thought out of courses. The intent was the opposite of the content, but the imagery was poorly chosen.
-
What a mess...
My apologies, my ill-formulated point was to merely point out how obviously sick it is to wish for a country to be nuked, which was exactly what was done in the post previous to mine. Nuking a country will necessarily include a lot of children dying horribly, so I was merely attempting to demonstrate why it's sick to wish for such a thing, by expressing a more irrefutably sick wish which is still only a subset of what nuking a country would necessarily include.
In reality, I'm decidedly against war, nukes and violence of all kinds.
-
Indeed, I did not perceive his post as sarcastic - over-the-top though it may have been - since I have experienced first-hand similar sentiment being expressed with equal viciousness by others who most definitely were not being sarcastic. Without an accompanying emoticon (whose rise in popularity is precisely because of situations like this), it's near-impossible to tell if someone online is being sarcastic or not purely from their written words. Tone of voice and body language are vastly underrated.
What a mess...
My apologies, my ill-formulated point.... *snip*
Apology accepted; glad to hear it was a misunderstanding after all... and I'm personally glad I didn't write certain choice words I was tempted to use... ;)
Dragging this back on topic..
I heard a few years back (don't know if it's true or not) that we (Israel) have anti-missile interception systems that use (presumably) hypersonic velocity missiles, capable of intercepting and destroying a target missile before it leaves the airspace of the country it was launched from.
-
There's a few systems of that ilk, I do recall something on the News here of such things being installed in Jerusalem and the surrounding area about 5-10 years ago. I think it was some kind of adaptation of the Sea Wasp missile, that was designed to intercept incoming cruise missiles on larger military vessels.
Edit: Ah, it was the Arrow missile, and, strangely enough, they've just finished upgrading the Radar on them to give them a greater interception range:

I laughed. :lol:

One might argue whether your "the world must burn ideology" had a slightly beneficial or slightly detrimental effect... or any effect at all... lol.
Date them again and keep talking about your newfound love for fluffy bunnies, see what happens? :)
-
Yeahno.

How ironic. Due to my location, I am blocked from watching the video attached to that article. :lol:
