Russia new wonder weapon? - Page 6

The French are perhaps one of the most confusing society of people that the world has ever known. I mean didn't they invented perfume so they wouldn't have to take baths? Is not true that they cry that they hate Americans yet they gave us the Statue of Liberty. I don't know. They claim to be a strong passionate people, and yet they seem to be the inventor of the word surrender. I don't know, I think the French are a great people, have a great country, and are amoung the finest allies any one could have, howver they do scare me from time to time and they do anger me occationally.

If their new friends the Chinese ever declar war on them, the French will have to learn to speak a new national language. I understand that the dominate chinese language (madaline (SP)) is very hard to learn.

If the French go then goes Europe.

to be fair, no one really bathed in the middle ages. granted, they have been short on strategic leadership through most of history - but they did have that short guy with his hand in his jacket, and they were an imperial power for a long time, and we do sort of owe our independance to their military support.

i mean, George Washington had his *** handed to him by Canadians for pitty's sake, you think we could have gotten the British to leave without the help of the French? Its not like we beat them, either. We just got them to leave.

The French really are not all that confusing, you are just only paying attention to the events and aspects of their culture that you wish to know about.

Of course, I am a bit confused as to why they went to all that effort perfecting a loaf of bread that goes stale in about five minutes after leaving the oven. Day old bread in the rest of the world isnt a leathal weapon.

This France-bashing is getting even more stale than yesterdays baguettes

Its not the case of Europe (or France) going anywhere AT. Europe is old, Europe is stable, Europe knows when diplomacy works better than force. If USA and Europe (continues to) drift apart, its the US who do the drifting. Get rid of that warmongering president of yours and USA and Europe will be best buddies again. Its all up to you

old, yes. stable, fairly. factious, definitly. more stable than the US? probably.

Industrialized China a scary idea to the entire western world? better be! they're still miffed about losing the Opium War, you think its going to be a small world after all? I don't...

but i digress. we cant all be happy and hold hands in a peacefull and diplomatic world. too many people stand to make money at the expense of others, and there are just as many of them on either side of the pond. different wars are profitable to different folks. when you dont stand to gain much from one, you are peacefull and diplomatic and the other guy is a warmonger. now, the average US citizen isnt gaining anything from the current conflicts, but they sure eat up the propoganda from the folks that are.

and whats up with the thread-jacking! less political rhetoric! more super-weapon rhetoric! has everybody seen the new aluminum high speed catamaran that the US Navy is testing out?

Sorry, it's not really thread jacking it's just Adult Deficit Disorder or what people use to call going off on a tangent.

Seems the Navy always has a new high speed catamaran. Is this the one that looks like Darth Vaders Boat. Or the one that is made by Australia and is just like a normal Catamaran put sounds like a jet?
I see Newport News is designing the new DDX Destroyer. The new Electric Drive destroyer with more electricity available for "future weapons" that will be installed. Goto globalsecurity.org

Anyone worried/wondering about the HAARP project?
YIKES!

I agree. If the US and the EU drift apart its because the US moves away from what it once was... I mean its near to impossible for all of the EU countries to agree on anything

especially something like foreign policy so its hard to beieve there was a joint EU drift... and besides the European stance has remained quite constant (at least the public oppinion... and those politicians who went against it will/are paying for it now). The US however is turning a brand new page now... Russia kept you guys in check for a while and now your president is behaving like a child being left home for the very first time withouth a babysitter...

It should be apparent even to some of the more conservative americans that dear old Georde W. lead them on BIG time....

well... you really can't blaim him, I mean he just wanted to finish what daddy started hahaha. I hope you people have the sence to vote him out of office.

god, see what i mean! thread-jacking! its not just an innocent little tangent, someone starts talking politics, JuirjD shows up, and no one shuts up for a two weeks until everyone gets tired of it and appologizes to each other.

lets skip it.

im talking about the ugly bead-bLasted aluminum catamaran that looks like a ferry boat. I thought I could make fun of England for their cheap aluminum hulls that ignite and burn when hit by exocet missiles, but now we have them too. but whats cool about it, are all the automated systems. sure, maybe not the best thing in real wartime, but the premise is cool and it could be a sign of things to come.

its pretty much all computerized, i saw some articles about it Last year, but slashdot had a link to a big writeup today:

why, because it boils the ionosphere? whats scary about that? a giant aray of tesla field generating gizzywhatsits? how cool is that? i mean, in no other time in history has someone been able to "boil" the upper atmosphere. im pretty excited to see it work, actually.

of course, i dont have kids.

EvilGenius4ABetterTomorro · #59 April 7th, 2004, 12:58 AM

Yeah, not really sure if that falls under Wonder Weapons or not. Maybe Wonder if its a good idea weapon! I was watching Cable Access and they had a guy on there saying that it can operate at the frequencies that interfere with sleep and moods. In the 80's the Russians were ahead in this field but since then it's our baby now.

It's about that time of the month, mind if you aim that thing over my house when the wife is home?
