    Is it just me, or does that last sentence not make any sense at all? I read it 5 times and keep getting stuck at horrible. The lack of editors makes my head hurt sometimes.

    @Digitallysick: Airborne or waterborne is what the studies used. Didn't mention contact, which I'm sure is less harmful b/c your rings probably have a sealent on it and also years of skin oil.

    So the military is going to alternate between DU and Tungsten bullets? The first round causes the cancer, and the second round is the chemo?

    OK, so things I have seen this week that cause cancer. Drinking hot tea, oral sex for women who perform it, and getting shot by Tungsten bullets. At least the first two are pleasurable when they happen to you...

    better to use tungsten bullets than risk giving super powers to the enemy with radioactive bullets

    As I lay dying, with blood flowing freely out of my body through this giant hole in my chest created by a non-tungsten bullet, I will feel glad knowing that at least, I won't die of cancer.

    Alright, men. We have to go into the battle, and beat these sons of bitches. Understood?

    Sir yes sir!

    Now, make sure you don't use Tungsten bullets. It may give your enemy cancer, and that would just be cruel.

    So now we're worried that if we shoot someone, they might survive and then get cancer? (And yes I know that's not the real argument...) This seems kind of silly and arbitrary for something designed to cause DEATH to begin with.

    Bullets that cause cancer, no, we can't have that. Why not get rid of the bullets themselves?

    You'd think the army would love to have bullets that can kill an enemy, even if they've survived the gunshot.


    Also what doesn't cause cancer these days?

    @Deaf Mute:
    Wounding the enemy is actually more strategically effective than outright killing them. Dead people use very few resources, while wounded troops keep all kinds of people and supplies tied up, plus medical field units become positions that need to be defended, which ties up active combat troops. And all of that for people who are mostly not going to be able to continue to participate in the conflict.


    Now, of course, the Genevea Convention does outlaw many of the more effective ways of maiming, but not killing, an enemy combatant. And modern militaries often have such effective means of killing the enemy that they no longer really need to be concerned with tying up the enemy's resources, but you better believe that the use of IEDs is not strictly meant to kill opposing troops.


    @psychopanda:
    Yeah...I'll stick with uranium-laced tungsten if you don't mind.

    FYI.... St. Tammany Parish is not a suburb of New Orleans. A "parish" is Louisiana's equivilent of a County. So I doubt that a county could be a "suburb" . Since St. Tammany is across the lake... I am going to say he is from either Slidell, Covington, Mandeville, or one of those other Klan Infested Areas.

    Its always fashionable for people to rip on Moto all the time, but their build quality is incredible. I'm still using my StarTAC which I bought in 2000. Still works.

    @Skorpius: ask anyone who has owned, worked with, or repaired razr phones before, and they will tell you that looking at a razr the wrong way usually kills it. And nowadays Moto are no where near as good as they used to be, a starTac could EASILY take a bullet from closer ranges, that phone and all the original moto phones were built to last forever.
