Hahaha.Michael started his post by saying:I know there is nothing really humorous about this issue, but sometimes things get so ridiculous that you don't know what to think.I agree, I don't know what they will think of next. Sometimes the only response immediately available to us is to shake our heads and laugh - and then, once it sinks in, cry. I have all but given up on trying to empathize with Islamic terrorist. I will never be able to fully comprehend the feelings, experiences, or ways of thinking that would drive a person to this. This is so foreign to my way of thinking that I'm often not equipped to respond, at least initially, except to say "that's absolutely ridiculous!"Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan2100 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Now Islamist terrorists are sending donkeys out on suicide bombing missions!I'm not so sure this is a "suicide."

We could call it a "sentient mobile IED" (SMIED) for no good reason.--BrantNot really. The old nomeclature -- before "suicide bombing" became a "household word" would've likely been "bombing," no? Slapping "suicide" to the front of this adds what? In the case of the usual suicide bombing, the meaning is, to me, much more clear: someone who is willing to blow herself or himself up to take out a target. The use of "suicide" in this case seems very clear and would distinguish the suicide bombing from the handiwork of Ted Kaczynski, the Volunteers of Ireland, and most military bombing raids.

I mean the donkey probably didn't know in any sense that it was going die.The donkey is a victim of a bombing, as would have been humans and other animals, had they been killed by the explosion.In World War II, animals were used as bomb carriers as well. For example, dogs carrying dynamite on their bodies were trained to crawl under tanks. Edited May 27, 2010 by Xray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbeaulieu Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 --Brantwaiting for the suicide camelsWould the bombs be implanted on their humps like they've now done with breast implants (or talk thereof) with women? And I think Bob had a joke in his one statement regarding asinine. I'd like to add an "s" to that, calling it assinine to use donkeys as bomb carriers.This whole donkey business bring a new meaning to the term "ass bomb." ~ Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
