BREAKING NEWS: nerve gas found in road side bomb in Iraq

[Drake Tungsten]

And why did they want to do that... for a laugh?

Because it's easier to find Charlie on a barren plain than it is in a thick jungle?

That arsenic had been the choice of poison since who knows when debunks your quoted message quite nicely.

Poison isn't a weapon, unless it kills quickly.

Which again has what to do with the factual basis for the quoted msg? If you really aren't interested in dealing with that, why even go on this track in the first place? It's like mentioning the US in a thread about China.

So that they could kill him?


Or did they just want to hand out chocolate bars?




And since you could't answer my question about bombs being dropped on railways and bridges, how about nuclear missles that are supposedly built as a 'deterant' - are they also not weapons?


It's too bad they didn't drop Fat Man and Little Boy with the intention of killing musquitos - they could've avoided an atrocity.

Yeah, so they could kill them with actual weapons, something Agent Orange is not...

And since you could't answer my question about bombs being dropped on railways and bridges

I don't believe I tried to answer it. Just because I'm tossing rocks at the short bus doesn't mean I'm going to do whatever the occupants inside ask of me.

I reckon your local police force would beg to differ.

Indeed. Always good to see people ignore anything that doesn't support their (already weak) argument.


Just keep on barrying your head in the sand... Maybe you can get a job designing weapons.

I'm not arguing that the purpose of Agent Orange was NOT to defoil the jungle coverage, but I'm also not going to ignore the other multiple effects this toxic chemical had.

Your quoted message confused various sorts of weapons. Asserting Agent Orange is not a good weapon because it doesn't kill fast enough is incomplete at best.

I doubt they would. If I poisoned someone, they would charge me with murder (or attempted murder, if I failed) which doesn't require that I use a weapon. I seriously doubt they would charge me with assault with a deadly weapon, however, which does require that I use a weapon. Why? Because poison isn't a weapon...

Of course, it's understandable that you don't understand how a police force that actually has to worry about "rules" and irrelevant things like that operates.

It was never my argument to defend. My only argument is that you're a moron for thinking Agent Orange is a weapon. I believe I've supported it quite well.

God, I hope so. That would be sweet.

From a military standpoint it isn't precisely for that reason. Arsenic isn't used as a military weapon either because it kills so slowly. Next you'll be arguing the military uses of cigarettes.

Burn!

You haven't supported it at all. Every time I have posed you a question as to what makes a weapon, you have ignored it.


Apparently your argument is that what you say is so, and that is that. Maybe when you learn how to form coherent arguments, we can continue this.
