Gay Bombs (not to be confused with Dirty Bombs)

Erm... parental advisory warning, I guess. Not suitable for the kiddies.

Air Force Considered Gay 'Love Bomb' Against Enemies

WASHINGTON — The Air Force on Tuesday confirmed a report that in 1994 a military researcher requested $7.5 million to develop a non-lethal "love bomb" that would chemically alter the state of mind of enemy troops and make them want to [Ahem] rather than fight.

Air Force spokeswoman Lt. Col. Cathy Reardon said the idea was proposed by an Air Force researcher at a lab at Brooks Air Force base in Texas, but it was rejected by the Defense Department. Officials noted that the Air Force is constantly considering funding proposals.

No money was spent, Reardon said, and no such weapons are currently being considered. The goal was to create a non lethal weapon to be used against enemy troops.

First reported by KPIX-TV in San Francisco, the discovery of the "gay bomb" came from a Freedom of Information Act request made by Edward Hammond of Berkeley's Sunshine Project, a watchdog group that tracks military spending.

According to the report, as part of the military's goal of developing non-lethal weapons, the proposal suggested, "One distasteful but completely non-lethal example would be strong aphrodisiacs, especially if the chemical also caused homosexual behavior."

Separately, a Defense Department spokesman told FOX News that he was not aware of any such program, but called the idea one of the most ridiculous things he'd heard.

I know it's infantile to laugh. I don't care.

Rumors that such a device was inadvertently detonated in San Francisco are absolutely false.

This is a pretty funny thread so far. I suppose you could be joking...but jsut in case, :D Let's get real. There are gays in every society. It's a brain thingy. It is merely a question of openness and social tolerance.

I wonder if the thing would work on sailors too.

[786rani]

Makes you wonder why they promote the gayness in western society and ask us to tolerate such abominations. The gay justification is that you are born with it. Its a sick ideal to promote and encourage, how christianity was lured into this is beyond me then again christianity has been lured into many actions that are against true form of christianity.

For allowing same sex marriages in a church. :rollseyes

This is completely off-topic. However, the number of churches who allow same-sex marriage is a minute amount. Usually in more liberal areas. Neither the Catholic Church nor any major denomination has signed off the practice.

one of the slogans of the anti war movement during the viet nam war was "make love, not war".

...and now look at those people. :D

[Amadeus85]

I think that no more christian priests support gay marriages than muslim clerics support terrorism.

[Panther]

Darn, the breeders found out about our secret weapon!
Well, I suppose the truth is out now. Your days are numbered, heteros! All this time we've been denying the existance of the "gay agenda", when it was true all along! We're out to get you! You cannot run, nor can you hide!(Unless you dress as Popeye during mardi gras, then you might be safe. For a while.)

Hide away your sons and daughters.
CONVERT OR HAVE YOUR LIVING ROOM REDESIGNED.




...
LOL.

But seriously now, a love bomb? I doubt it would work, I mean... Wouldn't making the soldiers sexually frustrated just make them angry and therefore even more willing to kill?

But wow, if it did work... Where should we drop it first? So many more places in the world need more love. :3

I KNOW! Drop it on the Westboro Baptist Chruch!

Genius!

[Cognescenti]

..CONVERT OR HAVE YOUR LIVING ROOM REDESIGNED....

:D ....

[north_malaysian]

Democrats should drop that bomb on the white house in order to make Bush support same-sex marriage.

[north_malaysian]

You should go to Thailand... I think they have double gay population than the US.

[Pygoscelis]

For allowing same sex marriages in a church. :rollseyes

Are you suggesting that the police should have raided them and prevented the wedding?

[Muezzin]

Um... guys, I meant this as an amusing, light-hearted thread rather than as a debate about same-sex marriages.

Because, really, those kind of things belong in threads about the Governator.

Every thread, even so nice and funny it could be, must have some troublemakers.

[Muezzin]

You mean that Tom Jones was telling the truth?!

[Malaikah]

Or they just might end up raping the male prisoners of war... talk about back firing! :X +o(

:lol:

[Keltoi]

On a serious note, from what I understand, an Air Force researcher proposed this idea as well as a weapon intended to cause bees to become violent and attack people. These projects were shot down quickly by the Air Force. So this was never seriously considered by the military establishment.

[Muezzin]

Yeah, it's evident from the quoted article that they never took this seriously.

It's just kind of nice to lighten up this place a little. :)

I'll probably lock it after a couple of days because of the 3 day rule. Hopefully it'll put a smile on people's faces in the interim.
