Estimated flight time is about 2 seconds, with a sudden altitude drop. The USAF doesn't design its plans to land on Naval ships. BONUS: the B-2 can't land on one, either. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By PoiDog: Many years ago, I read about one particular torture the Japanese did to some prisoners. They inserted a glass rod into the prisoner's 'front end' shall we say. Then the glass rod was broken, filling said orifice with broken glass. Now, thinking back on that, and having had several procedures involving the 'front end' myself, that is particularly gruesome to remember. I recently had a laser inserted there, but thankfully I was under anesthetic. The prisoners were not. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By PoiDog: Originally Posted By Cpt_Kirks: About the same.

They operated on people who were conscious, they did wound research, burn and freezing research on humans, the Japanese had no limits. I don't think anyone's been worse necessarily, the shithead type Muslims have a similar arrogance and chauvinism about themselves similar to the Japanese had, and how they see the "other"... sub human, scum under their toenail... unworthy of compassion or concern. I dunno that the Japanese fucked farm animals, that might take the lack of humanity up a notch.. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By fike: On that note and something I have been thinking about. When the IDF goes boots on the ground, the majority of content is going to come from the Hamas side….at least in the beginning. Hopefully the IDF understands the propaganda war and produces its own content. Which is why they need to limit the amount of atrocities being aired right now. This is going to be a long and drawn out conflict and Israel needs to curate political will to last. I would start each and every press conference with the story of a victim, their life before, how they met their demise, and show images. Keep it fresh in everyones mind why you are taking the actions you are. Personalize it. Because from here on out most of the imagery and 'victimizing' will be one sided. |

It's been a while since they had to meaningfully pviot. The last two times were due to stalin and hitler making nice to divide up poland, and after hitler gave those same leftist progressivists a bad name re:eugenics. They (those lefties) still do the eugenics thing, though they got a lot quieter about it, at least until they managed to lie everyone into accepting negative eugenics in the form of "abortion so youc an get your pee pee wet and you can manipulate that man and have your career." They don't ever seem to see these things coming that will force them to pivot. This is mostly their world. |
