@mrhopeful73 and like arabs wouldn't sodomize it first , kill it and then eat its heart. you got a lot of room to talk about anyone bugger. they use these drones to try to keep from killing everyone in the area when they are just out to get YOU. but you sandmonkeys don't make your moon god's blood lust quota and you don't get those virgins in the next world. they work well, or you wouldn't be pissed at them.
