Repent Non-Muslims! For the end of the world is approaching fast.
For does it not say in the Qoran.
"The world will end soon after the arrival of the four demons,
The first of these demons is Po and with his companion Lala,
he will rend the world assunder.
And all who do not follow them will perish a thousand deaths."
I AVE SEEN THESE DEMONS.....THEY ARE HERE ALREADY!
:D
Stop mocking us :D
:D
I was curious to see if anyone read these quotes!
Oh well, I guess the curse of Dipsy and StinkyPinky (he sticks his finger up his arse) isn't going to frighten you guys much!
;)
You really shouldn't be drunk this early in the morning.
Funny thats exactly what I said to my glass of water this morning.... but then I did it anyway :D
Beacon....I don't think I said that I personally had a vested interest in oil. I said that the country does.
I work at Edwards AFB in California. I work for a contractor on the F-22 program.......and we don't get free ice cream so I think I'll go on strike and not work until I do......oh wait, I don't do much work now, so that's out. :rolleyes:
UAVs may work fine for a weapons delivery system but I still contend that you can't replace a fighter pilot with a computer.

As for now, couldn't you remotely control an aircraft with a pilot on the ground; everything's fly-by-wire now anyways, so it shouldn't be much of a task to hook it up.
And self-serve soft ice cream for a dime a piece is pretty close to free, no? :D:confused::eek:
Yes, you can. Yes, it is feasible. Should you? I don't think so! Will it happen? I doubt it.
Bleh. No strength to argue with that. I hear my toast is finished anyway. Nuts to you :(
Oh so since im not a muslim God thinks im a bad person and im doomed. Right. Whatever you say.
About the UCAVs, controlling the plane from the ground would be unfeasable also, since all the enemy has to do to shut the thing down is to jam the signal. Programming a computer to do the job is the best option. Computer programs may not be able to compete with pilots yet, but in time, they will. In a way i dont think they should either. I agree that its bad that we can give the decision of life and death to a computer, but that doesnt mean it wont happen. We will probably see it in our life-times.
I hope not.:(
Well you work in the field, you might as well get ready for it.;)Quote:

Perhaps... I don't know exactly what kind of decisions there are to make in air combat. I mean I've played a fair few flight sims and I know there's maneuvers and tactics and stuff, but are there any decisions you would not be comfortable letting a computer make? The only kind of decisions like that I can think of are ethical decisions. Is there an ethical factor to combat decision-making?
Well not really. I mean after all it will be humans who program and send the UCAVs to do their job. Correct me if im wrong Katie, but what you are concerned with is the fact that a computer will be "pulling the trigger", and thus humans have (in a manner of speaking) given away the life-and-death decision.Quote:

Bloody hell, the Iraqi pilot's going to die anyway. Who the hell cares if it's a machine that does it? And the missles are controlled by machines (radar and infrared), doesn't that count already?Quote:

Yes but a human is pushing the button to fire. Its a very small, but simbolic step to hand over that control to a computer. Because soon, we could do that same thing for say tanks. And after that who would need a human army anyways? It would be a battle of technology (well that wont happen for several centuries at least). So while the step may be small, its important. In the future, UCAVs may be regarded as the first step to machines fighting wars for us.
That depends, what religon are you nishantp?Quote:

So with your F-22 are you going to (accidently) bomb Chinese embassies anymore?:mad:
Wait a minute...
That was OUR fault!
Can we have some F-22's please?
Im pretty sure that WAS an accident Adam. Blowing up an embassy doesnt do much except piss people off. In this case...a billion people...Quote:

I just get to look at them.....the bums won't let me fly them.
On another note....if Kovan and Abdul expected TheCatalyst to keep the debate going...they seemed to be mistaken.
Well dont you have to be like the best of the best to fly those things? Not saying that you arent of course:D just mentioning the fact:D .Quote:

It's pretty typical of their m.o. When they see they have everyone riled up and all they have left to do is spew hate and discontent.....they leave. TheCatalyst didn't even stick around that long....he must not even have the intelligence to put up a good argument.:rolleyes:
Islam has never had any sort of good argument against anything factual or tolerable. Here's a story from CTV:
Quote:
Foreign Affairs Minister John Manley has pulled out of attending the eight-day UN conference on racism in South Africa this weekend, a meeting itself already marred by questions of racism.
Manley told a news conference he's disappointed with the direction the conference appears to be taking.
He said he's uncomfortable with the tone of pre-conference commentary and with draft resolutions that equate Zionism, the ideology behind the founding of Israel, with racism.
"There's no doubt, at this point, that what we have developing on the ground in Durban is an unfortunate situation," Manley told reporters.
"From what I have seen of the documents that have been prepared so far, Canada does not agree with the language that is used in critcizing Israel."
"We'll do everything we can to get it back on track. But at this moment, certainly, I'm very concerned with the direction that it's going and somewhat pessimistic," Manley added.
In a statement, Manley's office said Canada will fully participate in the conference in the city of Durban by sending MP Hedy Fry, minister responsible for multi-culturalism and the status of women.
Fry caused a flap earlier this year when she said in the House of Commons that cross-burning frequently goes on in British Columbia, a controversial claim she said she had documented but was never able to back up.
She will be accompanied in South Africa by two backbench Liberal MPs, Jean Augustine and Irwin Cotler, as well as high-level officials including Paul Heinbecker, the Canadian ambassador to the UN.
U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell has vowed to boycott the conference, opting instead to send mid-level bureaucrats to try to change the wording of the declaration.
A U.S. State Department spokesperson said the delegates may not formally participate in the conference, but they'll be "working the halls" in the South African city.
At a news conference Thursday, a coalition of Jewish groups said they had been harassed and discriminated against during meetings by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) ahead of Friday's talks.
But before the groups could complete their presentation, Arab activists began shouting, singing and pushing in front of the speakers.
"It was awful," Keith Landy, president of the Canadian Jewish Congress, said Thursday in an interview with The Canadian Press. "There were two speakers left to speak and the session was totally disrupted."
The conference is set to begin on Friday and heavy security precautions are being taken. South African authorities will declare a no-fly zone over the enormous convention centre where the delegates will meet.
The conference is expected to attract 50,000 protesters over eight days and more than 3,000 police officers from across the country have been called in to help maintain order.
Well Kovan ahs been doing this for months...didnt expect him to stop.Quote:

Of course there is.
I see him almost every day, in every day life. Are you honestly trying to tell me that you have never seen the Demon Po and his cohorts? I strongly doubt it! If you deny this, I will prove it to you that he is here.
is this piece of **** still running?
No...i dont recall ever seeing the Demon Po:rolleyes: ...if you can prove it please do.Quote:

Really Nishantp! I can't believe you thought I was serious (especially after the Kurd joke!).
Anyway, I hope this gave you a laugh. My headhurts a bit still from all of last nights sacrifices to the beer god!.
This thread might help explain matters.

nah! I don't think you're stupid. I'm glad it made you laugh, that was it's whole purpose in life.
Have a good one.
I had the thought at the back of my mind when you said "I will defend my Afghan homeland" or whatever. Then I knew you were joking when you did the "Kurds and whey." But I've met some Islamic people who were not unlike this, so I figured what the hell, this'll be easier than kovan.
