You don't find the fake holiday that Tim invented to stuff his pockets a little inapropriet of a message to be painted on the side of a missile that kills people?

That's somewhat neat (if real), though I don't like CAD that much anymore.

No, I know they paint things like "f-you!" on the rockets and whatnot, but Tim posting that picture just bugs me. I'd be a little appauled if someone wrote "JediKirby Rocks!" on a missile, and I WOULDN'T post it on my world-wide-viewed website.

Maybe it's just me, but I find that post horribly sick.

"Kilroy was here" ring any bells?

It's a parody of Christmas. Not only that, but I personally find the practice of writing anything on weapons of destruction, except maybe "Betty" on a gun, somewhat appalling. That may just be me. But CAD sucks anyways, so hey.

So you guys are *****ing about some writing on an explosive? Mmmk... wow. Don't get your panties in a bunch, ladies.
2006-06-24, 12:14 AM #13
It's not like the victims of the bomb can exactly read the writing anyway - besides - if someone decides another person deserves to have a ****ing BOMB dropped on their head, then they probably don't really give a **** about a little bit of offensive writing. Get your priorities straight - dropping a bomb on someone's head is the ultimate F-U.

Maybe the bomb was to be used for practice or maybe it was a dud (but was it happy?).

People have been writing stuff on shells since WWI. Even before that.

I don't see what so alarming how people "personalize" their weapons. People sometimes call their gun names, jokingly. People name planes, tanks and other vehicles. In the heat of war, atleast give soldiers a chance to find some humor in destructive elements that surround them.

Answer me this: what is more "disturbing"? The small scribbling on the bomb's side or massive destruction that bomb can perform on a human being?

A) No. Painting things on bombs and stuff is a tradition. Just like nose are which was banned because everyone kept making it r-rated. Hmm...

B) Your previously expressed views on morality make this thread a tad hypocritical dontcha think?


I think that's awesome.
2006-06-24, 8:20 AM #20
I think it's pretty cool. I also get the feeling that some of you are so strongly against it simply because it's a CAD thing.

If I were to paint something on a bomb I would probably write ‘Gateway.’ Because death opens up a world of insecurity. Is the bomb just a gateway to death, or to an after life? Or the gateway for insurance companies?

Now, imagine if the show Star Gate changed, where every time they travel to a new planet they use some sort of transportation bomb which is dropped on them. Wouldn’t that be an interesting concept. You could give the people dropping the bombs something to seriously think about, and that doesn’t exactly dispel the ethics of dropping a bomb (which seem to be very limited) if it’s for the right course of action, but this thread isn’t about those kinds of ethics are they? And in fact me posting my opinion is probably about as important as it is writing things like ‘Winter-een-Mas’ on a bomb. Oh well.
My blawgh.

I'm not saying that writing on the bomb is worse than dropping the bomb itself. You guys are putting words in me and kirby's mouths. I'd rather the bomb not be dropped at ALL of COURSE. But to write something on there just seems...wrong to me.

Says the boy who gets a kick out of killing small, defenseless animals, and has been banned for expressing sadist tendencies. Right.

I know it's not a new tradition--that doesn't change my view on it. I know that the bomb itself is worse than the writing. That does not change my view on it.

bombs kill!

the words written on them do not!

bah some words make bombs comical to some people, mostly though, they kill people...

it doesnt matter what you write on them, it still kills people.
2006-06-24, 5:50 PM #29
im quite certain there are a lot of other words written on bombs, well printed probably. You know, like classification and stuff.

I agree its a weird tradition, but at least they arent catapulting the heads of their enemys at them :p

Yeah, except those words don't have any specific meaning other than categorization.

Writing "**** YOU RAGHEADS" and "Merry Christmas Mother****ers" on bombs (which I've heard of, and would not in any way doubt) or really anything to me is just...wrong.

Note: You don't have to agree with anything. But it'd help if you didn't compare two totally unrelated things.

Please note that i was attemping to stay neutral in the arguement.

And no, it is not completely unrelated to me. Writing on bombs is weird, so is catapulting heads. Yes I understand that the catapulting heads had a strategic purpose, so theres no need in calling me out on that. It was just something that came to mind.

So..I'm guessing that if you [sub][you as in not DJ Yoshi but people in general][/sub] don't like bombs being dropped on people, you won't like words written on them? I mean, can you like the bombs but find writing on them offensive?

I don't exactly want bombs being dropped on Iraq, but I'm not going to say it's not neccessary. What isn't neccessary in any way, form, or fashion is the messages they put on the bombs. I'm also not going to say that the soldiers have no right to (though I don't know if it is/isn't illegal), or anything else, I just definitely do not agree with the practice.

MB--you were patronizing me. Like always. Stop it.

what difference does it make?

i'm all for messages on bombs, i mean... it just means theres some people who are passionate about killing... i can't see whats wrong with that, its like a hobby that your country justifies as legal.

What difference? It's a moral dilemma. Something you (pretend to) know nothing about. People stand on different sides of the fence on the issue. That's all there is to it.

And I'm sorry if I don't think of being passionate about killing as a good trait. I'm sorry if I instead think that human life isn't something to be taken so lightly.

hey i dont pretend to know nothing about it!

i just dismiss it really, the poor bastarda are gonna get consumed by the explosion either way, might as well let the people dropping the bomb have their fun.
2006-06-24, 6:27 PM #39
Watch Apocalypse Now! and/or Jarhead and maybe you'll see why I dislike the practice.

But then again, you'll probably just go "YAY KILLING" and ignore the point of the movies altogether.
