And you thought daisy cutters were bad?

[Partha]

How about the gay bomb?

[Fobbon Lazyfoot]

Dunno if I agree with that. Sounds funny, though... wonder how it works...

[Riggen]

I don't know either, but I can think of some potentially very offensive theories.

[Garrdor]

Um I think they dropped one of them on my house

[Eidolon Faer]

Where is Bangzoom when you need him? This thread cries out for tasteless jokes.

[SicTimMitchell]

(Obvious joke:) Funding for the bomb was cancelled when the administration feared that blast victims might seek to get married.

(Tasteless joke:) An added benefit of the weapon is that soldiers in tests abandoned their weapons in favor of using their fists.

[Relbeek Einre]

It'd be easier, if we're going up against Muslim forces, to just make a weapon that sprays the enemy with pigs' blood.

No, I won't try to make any jokes there, Bang beat me to it. The first one that came to mind for me was a loss of enemy resources because the soldiers demanded more stylish uniforms.

I wonder if it; causes marked increase in all sexual appetites, both sexes to be attracted to like sexes (would women be effected as well?) or just men attracted to men only. If such an agent exists, I wonder what it tells us about the age old argument of "nurture vs nature" on the basis of our sexuality.I want to know what it mimics or is a copy of in nature.

Really? I thought the obvious joke was:

"The military later released a statement that said that of the total number of bombs in existence, only about 10 percent were of these type. When asked if there were more then the mere 10 percent, Army General Soandso simply said 'if you don't ask, I wont tell.' "

That was the obviously unfunny joke.

[Akhbarali]

It should be developed for use against all female companies.

There can be no good joke about this subject that does not include the words "rear battalion".


Akhbar

[Relbeek Einre]

Rear echelon. Rear guard.

For added fun, include the words "foxhole", "drill sergeant", "weapon mounts," and any reference to the Marines.

One interesting thing, if there is a naturally occuring pheremone that drives men and women to become gay which was then synthasized (sp?) in large ammounts it goes to further proved that homosexuality is not a choice but a natural occuring event. We know that it is natural in the animal world though, it is in the human world that gay bashers, biggots, and alike insist that homosexuality is a choice not nature. A bomb like this is more fuel twords proving it is nature not choice.

Though honestly this does offend me a bit (and no I am not easily offended). To give an example of what I mean lets use this to more easliy understand: If they created a weapon that changed muslim views to christian ones driving the enemy insane and causing them to commit suicide lets say instead of face a christian teaching, then would it be right to use and would any christians be offended by forcing thier teachings on someone who thought it so heinous as to take thier own life as a weapon of war?

[ZanypherCocoapuffs]

That was the obviously unfunny joke.

Ah yes, my bad.

Okay fine, obvious joke from a Marine:

"They dropped one of those on a Naval aircraft carrier and found no noticable change."

[Klast Brell]

I knew I had heard of this before. It's the main plot device in the film Flesh Gordon http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068595/?fr ... ft=17;fm=1

Emperor Wang (the Perverted) is leader of the planet Porno and sends his mighty "Sex Ray" towards Earth, turning everyone into sex-mad fiends.

Now to be fair, last I heard sheep were still oppossed to gay marraige.

I always found this to be one the silliest arguments in "support" of homosexuality. Even if animals were widely engaged in homosexual acts (which I doubt but have thankfully never had to research the subject), just because an animal is willing to stick his member in whatever warm, wet hole comes down the pike doesn't make it morally acceptable for humans to do the same. I bet animals fuck their parents, siblings and children as well. I have always thought the "animals are gay too so that makes it acceptable" argument does more damage than good.*

Akhbar

* Before people start freaking out I am not equating homosexuality to incest just pointing out that animals do all kinds of vile shit and just because it is acceptable for our four legged friends does not mean it is acceptable for us.

[Relbeek Einre]

Akhbar drinks from the toilet.

[Torakus]

The anti-navy weapon of this genre simply promotes everyone aboard to rear admiral.

Tora

[SicTimMitchell]

There is no anti-Navy version of this device.

[Partha]

It also proved effective on field trials against Marines of the Year.
