Yep when the prop department handed you a red shirt in that series you knew it was time to look for more work. 

Nuke em til they glow then shoot em in the dark. -- save my gun, shoot a liberal.

Ever seen "Galaxy Quest" ? That movie captures that phenomenon with aplomb.

Roger, go to your room.  For maybe an hour.

Several points to make here to you.  First, the quality of this site is slightly higher than that of KOS, DU, or Stern, would you not agree?

And if that were true, would not extending unlimited time to the snide and shallow comments of deranged people like rhayes would be sort of self-defeating?

If that is true, then I think he had more than his run here.

I also think discussing him and his tirades is interesting.  But a wasted exercise given his obvious lack of intellect.  His contention that spewing pure Bush drivel hate filled posts was unfair grounds to ban him, I would suggest that if this site were any MSM sponsored site; such would be deleted or not allowed.

Having said that, there are plenty of ways to disagree among ourselves and with the occasional Liberal that tries to argue their points here.  I'm currently in a gun/knifefight with SomerTeeth who cannot seem to understand that cut and paste with no attribution does not make an argument.

So, he posts a telephone book.

That still doesn't fix his original sin.  But he doesn't care.  He's just as bad as rhayes; but he at least tries to debate and doesn't use really horrible language.

This is the kind of Liberal I can live with.  rhayes is not.

If it helps, imagine land mine deaths as abortions instead...Maybe thousands of needlessly dead/maimed people, no matter what the cause, isn't a good thing.

Only (see above) if that's a deliberate part of their design, but in Geneva-not-sarcasmo world, like it or not, airplanes are held to be different from artillery pieces.

No, not a regulation, a voluntarily-signed contract. Libertarians believe in contracts & the long-forgotten individual right to contract. Because we're among the few who demand it from the government, we're also (& Constitutionally) constrained to give that right to government. In this case, "we" signed a contract before I was born which has provisions I dislike (see composite bullets example, but please also see today's open-thread cloaked post about..Gasp!...actual mediabias at some point!) but just because you don't like a contract/treaty does not give you the right to violate it. This one has provisions regarding air-dropped mines, which tend to create unmarked minefields because those are thought to cause lots of civilian casualities. We should abide by these provisions not because they're suddenly "regulations" 'cuz we don't like them making an area-denial weapon less-effective, or even because the treaty is objectively "good" (since clearly I think parts of it aren't!). We should abide by all provisions -- good & bad -- because that's what we agreed to do. Simple. As Jimmy Buffett says, "say what you mean, and mean what you say."

Notice, however (and I'll say it again, reading is fundamental...) that I said US troops, not enemies. IOW, I want to free up US forces to use the new frangible bullet technology which has made Geneva restrictions seem particularly archaic. I never said thing-one about the enemy & what they use. So HAHAHAHA yourself. If you're found to have even one of my commercially-available deer-bullets in your rifle right now, you'd be in serious military trouble, and you know it.

I don't know what you mean by "the Monitor" or "PSC," but I think some of the pics of "contractors" I've seen say "mercenary," and despite the emotional connotations others have with the word, to me it's just a matter of accurate description. And just because the present fuzing system in cluster bombs makes them effectively become air laid unmarked land mines says nothing whatsoever about VBIEDs (which I had yet to even mention) so it sounds like you're trying to change the subject to those. I was talking solely about cluster bombs, and I stand by every word I've said.
