I have a sister in London who decided to NOT go to work today due to a sudden nagging pinched nerve type condition in her leg. She would have been in the subway right at the times of the first bombs exploding... on the same tube-lines that got bombed..
.."they", the instigators, the "muslim" terrorists ought to be eliminated from the gene pool ! Their support personnel too, likely family and close friends who hold the same extremist views, should all be culled from the Human race ! .. maybe they aren't really Homo Sapiens ... Homo Stupefaciens !

the quotes "..." meant something, ..
We need an evolutionary scalpel, so to speak,... cut out the obviously malignant growth in our midst. All this cultish extremist relogio-terrorism is medieval or un-evolved weight on our species' progress.
In fighting all terrorism whatever "we" do to combat it, it should be a surgical excision of the anti-life. Be it plagues and disease or terrorism... cut it out and burn it for the sake of our species.
If we had a vaccine, a technological pill to fix all of our problems of extremist view points it would be easy...
And, my sister by fluke did not go into work that morning...

If you are referring to this:
"Who's all for creating a glass parking lot?"
does not imply to me a elimination of all arabs. One could deduce Richard was merely implying that just terrorist be nuked and not the whole arab race. So perhaps you should be a little more circumspect in questioning what planet I'm from.

Lets piece this together shall we. What type of environment are the arabs concentrated in? Sand and rock. What happens when you melt sand? Do I really need to go any further with this?woodchip wrote:If you are referring to this:

Though in all fairness, I did mis-interpret Bong's post, so I do apologize.

Not so fast bud. The reference to a "glass parking lot" is a phrase used generically and has nothing to do with desert regions. I can remember using the term during the Vietnam war and how we should nuke Hanoi and turn it into a glass parking lot. But hey! I've been around a bit longer than most of you so I can take a more egalitarian view in such matters /smiles in a slight condescending manner at MD/awaits concession speech/MD-2389 wrote:Thank you sir for proving my point for me!

Umm...HELLO? Who do you think Richard was referring to? Where do you think the most of them live? What part of this simple concept escapes you?woodchip wrote:Not so fast bud.

I think the race beef was with Bubbalou's "Paki" comment in the cafe thread, not the glass parking lot comment.
I chose not to mess with it because I dont find the word Paki particularly offensive or racially slanted. IMHO, it's an abbreviation, just as the English are sometimes referred to as "Brits".Bubbalou wrote:Wow the Paki's are setting off fireworks closer to home now!
"Umm...HELLO? Who do you think Richard was referring to? Where do you think the most of them live? What part of this simple concept escapes you?"
Again, no reference given. RC could as easily been refering to terrorists and where their bases are and not the whole arab world.
\still awaits MD's concession speech\

Its not the term I find offensive, its the usage. Its like calling an owner of a car with rediculous modifications to his car a ricer, and then calling some random japanese or chinese person a ricer. Its the same word, but the usage gives it a totally different meaning. Apparently this simple concept escapes some of you. *cough*Woodchip*cough*Xciter wrote:Umm...HELLO?

Any nuclear explosion over sand is going to cause the sand to turn into Trinitite... or "glass parking lot" There are glass parking lots in the US, Asia, Pacific islands and Japan... if your thinking it's a racist term then you have some more homework to do.

By the same token, extending the term "glass parking lot" to mean "paving the entire middle east with glass" is quite a stretch. Sounds like you're being a little over-sensitive.
As for me, I think using nuclear weapons for any reason is plain stupid. Just think of the precedent it would create, for one thing.
OTOH... I envisioned a parking garage, made entirely of glass when I started reading this post. It would be handy for finding lost cars, as someone pointed out...and slippery when wet, as someone ELSE pointed out.
And what happens if some idiot runs into a load bearing wall....does the whole thing shatter?

You know what I find offensive? The fact that American contractors who are helping to rebuild Iraq are being beheaded and Muslim leaders are silent!Its not the term I find offensive, its the usage.
How about their people dragging and hanging American bodies off a bridges while cheering on American flag burners...and the Muslim leaders are silent.
How about navigating jets into our buildings killing thousands of innocent Americans and putting a major hurt on our economy.. and the Muslim leaders are silent.
But, you, Mr. politically correct infidel, are upset about suggesting we get rid of the terrorist by way of severe and effective strikes.
People like you are the reason America has lost its ruggedness.

Heh!Sting_Ray wrote:Yes! Let's strategically bomb the middle east. And by "Strategically" I mean erase.
On a related note, a while back (maybe around the time of 9/11) there was a similar thread in the cafe, and I posted a reply on the lines of "lets turn the whole place into glass" and posted a picture of a nuke going off. MD deleted that post, which is why I find this debate amusing (especially since he cant edit posts anymore, heh).
