I Am Pissed Off: Politically Correct Terminators


I am: acrimonious, affronted, aggravated, angered, annoyed, bitter, boiling, bothered, chafed, cross, displeased, disturbed, embittered, enraged, exasperated, festering, fiery, foaming-mouthed, fuming, furious, galled, hopping mad, huffy, incensed, indignant, inflamed, infuriated, irate, irked, irritated, livid, mad, miffed, nettled, offended, outraged, peeved, perturbed, piqued, pissed-off, pissed, provoked, put out, raging, raving, resentful, riled, roiled, ruffled, smarting, smoldering, ticked off, troubled, upset, vexed, worked up and generally cheesed the feck off.

"The US Army and Navy have both hired experts in the ethics of building machines to prevent the creation of an amoral Terminator-style killing machine that murders indiscriminately.

By 2010 the US will have invested $4 billion in a research programme into "autonomous systems", the military jargon for robots, on the basis that they would not succumb to fear or the desire for vengeance that afflicts front line soldiers.

A British robotics expert has been recruited by the US Navy to advise them on building robots that do not violate the Geneva Conventions."

1) 4 billion dollars???? WTF-INGF???
2) We hired some British dude? What? We have NO ONE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY who can build a "moral Geneva Convention following" robot? ?
3) Since when did front line fighting become MURDER?
4) This is just for the RESEARCH??? 4 Billion? No wonder we're fecked.
5) How the FECK is the Robot going to know the Geneva Conventions when the assholes they would fight don't know them?
6) Is this a f-ing joke?
7) Ethics?
8) Amoral robots?
9) 4 billion spent on MORAL ROBOT research. WHO THE FECK APPROVED THIS SHIZZ?
10) DUDE, where's my country.

BREAKING: Navy Fires Warning Shots @ Iranian Boat

"The U.S. Navy says one of its ships encountered a small Iranian high-speed boat in the central Persian Gulf. The Navy says the boat stayed away after the ship fired a flare."

Not a big deal, but I think the Iranians are testing the waters so too speak.

Spy Satellite Hit! UPDATE: IT'S A CONSPIRACY

OMG... now we've got leftards claiming it is a conspiracy. I can't make this shit up:
"How do we know that it stopped working and that they’re not just telling us this knowing full well they’ve illegally spied on Americans and don’t want the satellite to be recovered by anyone or to have a piece of it tall into the backyard of an American? It would be just their luck, huh, to have the “brain” fall into the hands of an American!"

Or...."How many red phones have been used to try to avert an international diplomatic, crisis? Was this the first instance of the US China red phone, and "how's its workin for ya", as Dr. Phil would say?"

How about...."a spy satellite carrying large amounts of toxic fuel
aka chemical bomb on deck.." "doesn't make much sense to reduce it to scrap before it re-enters, unless its carrying something identifyable that could survive re-entry." Hey dipshit, that's why they call it a SPY SATELLITE.

They did it!!! Go Navy!
A HIT! A missile launched from a U.S. Navy ship in the Pacific hit the decaying U.S. spy satellite it was targeting 140 miles above Earth's surface..... Developing...
U.S. Navy Missile Successfully Hits Dead Spy Satellite Above Pacific!
"At roughly 1030 tonight the USS Lake Erie shot a missile at the dead satellite.
DOD Source: (via Steve Centanni) Satellite HAS been hit. No word on whether fuel tank was destroyed."
More here..."The Pentagon said the window of opportunity to strike the 5,000-pound satellite opened Wednesday, when the space shuttle Atlantis landed in Florida. The Pentagon wanted to be sure the shuttle would not be struck by any debris from a destroyed satellite."

Drop It Like It's Hot!

"The U.S. Navy will likely attempt to shoot down a faulty spy satellite Thursday, the day after the space shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to land, two officials told CNN Monday.

A Delta II rocket lifts off in December, carrying a reconnaissance satellite that failed hours later.

The officials said the idea is to leave as much time as possible so a second attempt could be made if necessary."

Boom! Here come the Boom. You sucka's better not miss our we'll be sued from here to kingdom come. I've got faith in the squids. And let' show them what we've got.
