COOL STORY BRO

[taffelost]

It's funny how the RAF pilot desperately tries to maintain an aura of importance and toughness... In the Nevada desert... 3 continents away from harms way. These guys aren't pilots, they're operators as far as I'm concerned.

[julianramos1]

whats so fun killing people

[mh03r932]

I feel very uneasy about "remote controled war". If you abstract the horrors of war enough the threshold where you are ready to use leathal force can only go down.

[pwnage0013]

because by all means we need non lethal wars!

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !!

[rap9206]

I would love to pilot one of these babies!

[rustapharian]

haha those things are gonna be bombing the pirates in the indian ocean soon. thats gonna be sweeeet!

[hankbest]

these are controlled by raf but were sold to britain from usa... us is selling to a limited list of allies

[seano322]

why controled from america? why not Britain?

[bobbykoedkotto]

cos its american technology and we bought if off them you thick idiot. england do not have resources to develop or control this type of machine. now go read some books you idiot

[Guyisaritelegend]

there not, they are based in America, for the same reason the USA have bases in britain

[lPSTutorialsl]

Our taxpayers money is spent more on health care and US so we do not have the funds (of what we know) to create this technology.

[zhengiszen]

May the anglo-saxon empire go to flame.

People of the world are tired with all this criminal rethoric.

[bobbykoedkotto]

paki

[rustapharian]

shut retard... you smell like shit

[hyalitemar]

'tweener fozzibab, Using this technology to obliterate enemy combatants is money well spent. Some people may oppose it, but they have been outvoted time after time. If you feel so sorry for your terrorist brothers 'tweener fozzibab, then you should join the fight with them on the ground since you are loosing so badly here in the forum of rational discussion.

[hyalitemar]

Killing terrorist is cool.

[fozzibab]

And by your definition, as has been clearly established by you, "terrorist" is apparently another word for "Muslim", or "Islamic Individual" or "Person from the Middle East". So you approve of genocide, then. Awesome. People like you usually end up dead after going nuts and shooting a bunch of people on the subway.

[hyalitemar]

Wrong again 'tweener fozzibab, as anyone can here see, I have never equated a terrorist with any religious, national, ethnic, or regional designation. In war, I approve of killing enemy combatants until hostilities end. Quit defending your terrorist brothers 'tweener fozzibab, unless you want to join them on the battlefield. But alas, people of your ilk have always been defined by their own shrill cowardice.

[hyalitemar]

'Cause online I'm out in Hollywood I'm 6 foot 5 and I look damn good I drive a Maserati I'm a black-belt in karate And I love a good glass of wine It turns girls on that I'm mysterious I tell them I don't want nothing serious 'Cause even on a slow day I could have a three way Chat with two women at one time I'm so much cooler online".

[hyalitemar]

And I drive an old Hyundai

I still live with my mom and dad

I'm 5 foot 3 and overweight

I'm a scifi fanatic

A mild asthmatic

And I've never been to second base

But there's whole 'nother me

That you need to see

Go checkout MySpace

[hyalitemar]

fozzibab is pissed because he just saw his terrorist brother blown up.

[fozzibab]

Actually, I'm Jewish. XD

[hyalitemar]

And I'm the King of France.

[fozzibab]

Je suis Napoléon!

[hyalitemar]

Oh really? Napoleon as a Jewish Atheist? Hmm, which one is it 'tweener fozzibab, are you a practicing Jew or a practicing atheist? Fozzibab's fanciful 'tweener myopia extends no further than the last period he types.

[fozzibab]

*sigh*

I've encountered this kind of typical ignorance before. Being both an atheist and a Jew is entirely normal, and acceptable. Judaism is both an ethnicity and a religion. It's rather unique in that, actually. I'm a Jew because my mother is Jewish, and I'm an atheist because, it's the smart choice in life. Other atheist Jews you may be aware of and probably hate include John Stewart, Lewis Black, Karl Marx, Woody Allen, Albert Einstein, Bill Maher, and Me! We're all better people than you.

[hyalitemar]

Oh please 'tweener fozzibab, you have no idea what ethnicity or religion I am a part of. That is the core of your flawed thinking. You make assumptions and jump to conclusions that have no basis in reality. What you say about yourself is unsubstantiated. I have no reason to believe that your mother is Jewish or that you are atheists. Your word is worthless. And frankly, no one really gives a care about your own personal reality. I support killing your terrorists brothers in war.

[fozzibab]

I'm sure you do support killing people. But then, we've already established that you're a bigoted, racist piece of shit. So I'm really not surprised. You've already proven your own worthlessness as a person, you really don't need to drive the point home any further. See, this is why the internet is a bad idea. It gives people like you, who shouldn't have access to the general public to begin with, a place to spout your bigoted, flawed opinions. We get it, ok? You're a terrible person, thanks!

[hyalitemar]

Once again, the only bigoted person here is you 'tweener fozzibab. All one has to do is read the comment history here for all to see. Your arguments have no basis in reality. And yes, if people want to kill me or my fellows, I will defend them and myself with deadly force. 'tweener fozzibab, your rants are just an attempt to sling mud, name call, and use false accusations against those that *gasp* have a different opinion than you. How horrible!

[capitalcontested]

wow, you're amazingly annoying. you sound like a propaganda machine.

[fozzibab]

That isn't funny. Grow the fuck up.

Additionally, they used a $68,000 Hellfire missile to take out a single guy on a bike? What wonderful use of a military budget.

[hyalitemar]

Yeah, tell that to the folks that died in NY on 9/11. Thousands died and billions were lost, 68 grand is a deal.

[fozzibab]

I don't give a shit. Do you know for sure that one guy was a terrorist? Couldn't he have been just some guy on a bike? If he was a terrorist, isn't it FAR MORE LIKELY that he was just some stupid grunt, rather than a criminal mastermind? You want to spend 68 grand to take out somebody important, fine, that's justifiable. Expending that kind of resources to take out a fucking grunt on a motorcycle is a waste of money AND ordinance.

[hyalitemar]

I don't agree with your half baked analysis. This is war not law enforcement. So take your juvenile, "Grow the fuck up...I don't give a shit...a fucking grunt..." attitude to the "tweener" crowd who thinks that type of language is "kwel".

[fozzibab]

Uh, that wasn't an analysis, it was a response to your incredibly open-ended argument. Excellent attempt at ignoring a critical point, by the way, but you failed miserably. You challenge a waste of resources by pulling the infamous NINE ELEVEN out of your ass, and then ignore a very real chance that NONE OF THAT SHIT FUCKING MATTERS. If you don't have an answer to the little problem of "your opinion being horse shit", don't open your god damn mouth in the first place.

[hyalitemar]

fozzibab, judging from your attitude and foul language, it is clear you are a very insecure person. Words only sting when they contain an element of truth. People with flimsy comments like yours usually resort to name calling when they do not have the either the vocabulary or intellectual capacity to mount a reasoned defense. In your case, you lack both.

[fozzibab]

So...by your logic, because I use naughty language like fuck, shit, damn, cunt and the like, I'm insecure? That's idiotic. Aren't insecure people generally, like, losers? You know, who aren't successful? Lets see...I live in a two-story house in San Francisco, I'm married to a gorgeous Japanese woman, I have two beautiful children, I drive a Lexus, and I write about video games for a living. I must be the most insecure person on the PLANET! I guess being an open-minded liberal atheist is dumb.

[hyalitemar]

LOL, yeah right.

[fozzibab]

Oh, additionally, the fact that you've dropped the argument at hand in its entirety to try and insult me on my use of naughty curse words that offend baby Jesus means that I've WON the argument...you know that, right? I mean, can't you defend what you believe? Don't you have any kind of intelligent defense of your pro-war anti-islamic horse shit? Changing the subject, tsk tsk. That's not a good sign.

[hyalitemar]

I've stated my reasons rationally. You fly off the handle dropping "F" bombs. Tsk, tsk, I'll return to the discussion when ever you can behave like a adult.

[fozzibab]

Actually, your "reasons" are now obviously based on ignorance and bigotry. If we also consider how you changed the subject all on your lonesome, the conclusion is that the argument has been won. You lost by default when you established yourself as an anti-Islamic bigot. Congratulations, you're a racist douche bag. Do you see any reason to continue this ridiculousness other than the fact that you can't seem to stand not having the last word? You've lost. Suck it up.

[hyalitemar]

'tweener fozzibab, only a mentally challenged terrorist supporter like you would equate a discussion on youtube of all places as some sort of contest that needs to be won. I support fighting terrorists in the same vein that I support fighting eco-terrorists here at home, no matter their ethnicity. You are the bigot 'tweener fozzibab because you only see other people by the color of their skin. Terrorists come in all colors. You wouldn't know what racism was even if it sat in your lap.

[jasong19711]

will send a lot more people to go see Mohammad!

hahahahaha
