[SpencerH]

How about this, if you dont want to look at the pics of weapons go read another thread!

This is not the logic I like. I just wanted to show how it hurts, and how poor taste it is.

Don't worry Spif, some people are so small minded that they are only capable of abusing people they disagree with...

Normally these people are warned about their personal attacks or banned - that is unless they have friends in high places...

I agree. Definetely poor taste.

There is NOTHING awesome or cool about weapons. Period. Whoever thinks there is, should experience war first hand. Having your family massacred by that "awesome weapon" really is a showstopper!

Especially in times of war... I mean, there's probably thousands of Iraqi soldiers who are forced to fight against the US right now. Do you think it is "awesome" and "cool" slaughtering them?
And that SCUD could land in a US or British field hospital. How "cool" would that be?

...poor taste! Same like making jokes about 9/11... or do you do that too?

Well, this is not an AWESOME military pic, for sure... But it's a military pic, after all. And express what a great part of the world is feeling right now, IMO...

[Spiffor]

Aro And thanks for your PM.

[DaShi]

Any pics of CBeasts?

[Spiffor]

What are CBeasts ?

[Harovan]

Counterglow and ACOL idiocy. A "full hundred" in thread reply count.

'Tis amazing how certain people can blindly leap to such accurate conclustions about the reasons people have for posting in this thread, not that I expected anything else...

[Spiffor]

ColdWizard :
I guess you are targetting me. I don't know your reasons to post in this thread, but I indeed know the consequence is an utter lack of respect for the victims of the machines you're picturing. It is probably not intended. It doesn't make it less disrespectful.

Spiffor: you're eqating the morality of general weapons, and the tools of terrorists? I thought better of you.

[ColdWizard]

Spiffor, you're a complete and utter wise and intelligent fellow. If we ever meet I'd enjoy buying you a drink and shaking your hand

A bomb is a bomb.

The "morality" of your weaponds really depend of your point of view. I'm sure those who support Al-Qaeda would have recognized themselves in my "poor taste" post (which I absolutely disagree with), while spitting on the US/Israeli weapons.
Such people are wrong, of course. It doesn't make the sickening display of instruments of death in the US/Israeli side any better. I am sure any Iraqi who lost part of his family would call this thread a disgrace.

Just like any American would call a "let's show AWESOME PICS of Sept. 11 ! " a disgrace.

The only difference between the US military and the terrorists is that the military doesn't willingly kill civilians (I suppose that's what you call their morality). In the end, it isn't any different for those who have lost their families and acquaintance.
"L'enfer est pavé de bonnes intentions" (Hell is paved with goodwill) is a French saying, about how goodwill doesn't necessarily make for good or moral results. It applies every time a smart bomb hits a school or a hospital. Say as much as you want it was a mistake, it doesn't make the victims any less dead or crippled.

wow, Spiffor, those pics of airliners are the coolest military pics I've ever seen!
