Another good reason to remain on the offense.

Especially when the Islamikazis put the value of their lives at zero.

In a real way, they actually cost billions to develop and build the technologies that were used.

We paid that bill.

Pistol rounds cost less than a fifty cents each.

True that. The same four terrorists could probably take out just as many people with a couple of AKs in a crowded spot.

I guess there's some sick bomb fetish.

"But the fact that London was bombed for such a cheap figure - and that the money was raised legitimately - highlights the problems that the authorities have in tackling terrorist financing."


Yep, that's a problem.

It isn't really all that difficult to come up with an explosive. This particular one was made from stuff you can buy in a drugstore:

The NYPD officials said investigators believe the bombers used a peroxide-based explosive called HMDT, or hexamethylene triperoxide diamine. HMDT can be made using ordinary ingredients like hydrogen peroxide (hair bleach), citric acid (a common food preservative) and heat tablets (sometimes used by the military for cooking).

Supposedly they used cellphones to detonate them. A wristwatch with an alarm would have worked as well. You can't fight this sort of thing by concentrating on the hardware - you concentrate on the criminals.

Could you build them cheaper at Wal Mart or Home Depot? What if you built them in volume, could Cost Co or Sam's help?

While I'm on the subject:

Cost of 9-11 attack: $1T

Cost of each WTC building: $2B

Cost of 2B rounds of ammunition: $1B

Value of radical muslims soon to be exterminated: $0.00

Looks on the faces of radical muslims as they are exterminated: priceless

They value their cause more than their lives. Our take on it is, 'give me liberty or give me death!'

Would you commit your life to the cause of removing a foreign invader in your country? Or would you submit to occupation by what you considered a godless heathen?

Further correction: radical muslims = Ilsamo-pussies, deranged worshipers of the moon, a meteor, and a murdering pedophile.

Oh please, you are equating heros who would die to defend freedom, with homicidal islamic lunatics who believe that allah will reward them with an eternal virgin rape-fest as a reward for the mass murder of women and children?

Bombs = NY Times coverage.

Yes, it is that simple.

No, I didn't equate them. I simply pointed out that they value their cause above their lives, and I pointed an example of that same sentiment (values extolled over an individual's life) in our culture. I'd like to know, would you submit to occupation by what you considered a godless heathen, or is that a cause worth risking your life for to you?

Yes, I would die to defend my family, my nation, etc.

And yes, you are equating homicidal jihad maniacs with those who defend freedom, and that is disgusting.

You mean these godless heathens:

Funny I never see any pictures of the talibian or muzzies helping infidel children out. Give me a break I have risked my life to protect Muslim children and defend my constitution. Are you honestly trying to say that we are oppressors in Iraq? Tell me what have you risked you life for or would you.

Precisely.

Could not have said it better myself.

Keep cramming Muslims into your society, Great Britain. Sooner or later you will learn how much of a mistake it all was to "embrace diversity" with these cretins.
