So much for there not being WMDs in Iraq..... The terrorists are using chlorine gas bombs once again! And here is the article from a liberal news station, just for you guys.
I know its nit-picking, but, horrible as it is, its a choking agent, and somewhat different in its effects to nerve agents like Sarin. Chlorine gas is not classed as a weapon of mass destruction.
Unfortunately, yes. Same way that a hunting rifle is still a hunting rifle if you shoot your family. This is low tech stuff. You want to make yourself a battlefield weapon? Just mix some acid with some bleach.
2HCl + NaOCl -> Cl2 + NaCl + H2O
To put it in simple terms, if you are attacked with chlorine gas, there is a strong chance you will survive. No doubt you'll be injured, but you can survive. There are historical examples from world war one of troops fighting on without gasmasks whilst under attack from chlorine gas.
Conversely, if attacked with Sarin, the likelihood that you'll survive is significantly smaller.
Yes...that was what I was saying. The post was directed for the first post in sort of WTF way.
Notice the question mark wasn't in the end of the sentence :P
How does your dad and the degree he has, got anything to do with you and your non-dumassiness? That aside, WMD is something that kills masses of people, masses. Chlorine truck smashed in to a building doesn't as you see.
I, personally, do not think its a very helpful term. Its used by various governments in the way that you used it: as a buzzword to shortcut any rational debate and make ideological assertions about the world appear to be 'facts'.
All liberals do is bitch, and all conservatives do is bitch about liberals bitching. Useless sacks of blood and bone. Now go and take your lithium...
Thanks very much ,but I'm quite aware of what I'm talking about. Who the heck are you to tell me to shut up?
These sorts of discussions are about hearing all points of view..that is what a democracy is all about.
Yes, very true. Whilst some debates on the internet are plainly no holds barred, using subtle suggestions to sway an opposite viewpoint to agree with your position is more effective than other means. Hey, it worked for Socrates!
I don't remember saying anything about America, or Americans. I do remember mentioning your *cough* President and a couple of media organisations. I don't think that counts as insulting a nation or it's inhabitants. Obviously it does in your warped eyes.
Don't worry, next time I'm visiting my friends in the States I'll steer well clear of you.
I would also agree that criticizing Bush jr. is not america bashing, because Bush only represents at best, 49% of the nation, and he pretty openly resents the chunk that's greater than 51%. I'll stop there cuz it's pretty off topic.
Off topic unless of course you are talking about WMD's, which is a completely manufactured term that can be intending to mean anything or nothing. A term with such flexibility that it justfified, for some, this horrible occupation. Now everyone realizes it will not end for another decade. 10 years that nation will be at war, if the US leaves or not.
