The Israeli skunk bomb

We're all for non-lethal weaponry, and we're not the only ones who found it pretty encouraging when the hardcore Israel Defense Force start developing things like rubber-bullet guns (pictured right). But you've really got to feel for those rock-wielding rioters when they bust some worse-than-lethal non-lethal weaponry, like, say, the ultimate stinkbomb. The IDF is touting a synthetic skunk-spray odor-mortars, which admittedly doesn't sound so bad until you find out that it's so pungent that the stink stays on your clothes for 5 years. Remember, this stuff is way stronger than the real deal, which you've probably only caught whiffs of from a moving vehicle; we hear that few have had their faces doused with skunk-ass and lived to tell the tale.

I personally think they should start using permanently crippling biological agents that mark people for life in certain ways.

Like they could have an insect sized robot that burrows under your skin and dispenses tranquilizers.

or better yet, just use start using live insects like botflys and other infesting creatures. genetically modify them to carry diseases etc. if the users tries to remove them.

well anyway i think humans are just fodder for the giant machine and we have no chance to survive against it so we should just give up

they will use this weapon against innocents just like every weapon, not just for some kind of isolated concept of warfare

i hope god smites humanity with a plague 70 times worse than any known plague, one that carrys for generations, a hideous new hobbling to deal with

the bible says the lord smote humans first at the tower of babel, splitting their one tongue into many, next at the flood... shortening the span of man. islams jews and christians all share this belief. well praise jesus, insha allah, by the will of the almighty tetragrammaton, it will come to pass, and the filth and the foul shall be wiped clean of this earth
