  1. No, I dont think so. The US never accepted the laws that say they cant Its right here "Convention on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons Which May Be Deemed to Be Excessively Injurious or to Have Indiscriminate Effects" Geneva, 10 October 1980 INCENDIARY WEAPONS (PROTOCOL III) Article 1 Definitions For the purpose of this Protocol: 1. "Incendiary weapon" means any weapon or munition which is primarily designed to set fire to objects or to cause burn injury to persons through the action of flame, heat, or a combination thereof, produced by a chemical reaction of a substance delivered on the target. (a) Incendiary weapons can take the form of, for example, flame throwers, fougasses, shells, rockets, grenades, mines, bombs and other containers of incendiary substances. (b) Incendiary weapons do not include: (i) Munitions which may have incidental incendiary effects, such as illuminants, tracers, smoke or signalling systems; (ii) Munitions designed to combine penetration, blast or fragmentation effects with an additional incendiary effect, such as armour-piercing projectiles, fragmentation shells, explosive bombs and similar combined-effects munitions in which the incendiary effect is not specifically designed to cause burn injury to persons, but to be used against military objectives, such as armoured vehicles, aircraft and installations or facilities. 2. "Concentration of civilians" means any concentration of civilians, be it permanent or temporary, such as in inhabited parts of cities, or inhabited towns or villages, or as in camps or columns of refugees or evacuees, or groups of nomads. 3. "Military objective" means, so far as objects are concerned, any object which by its nature, location, purpose or use makes an effective contribution to military action and whose total or partial destruction capture or neutralization, in the circumstances ruling at the time, offers a definite military advantage. 4. "Civilian objects" are all objects which are not military objectives as defined in paragraph 3. 5. "Feasible precautions" are those precautions which are practicable or practically possible taking into account all circumstances ruling at the time, including humanitarian and military considerations. Article 2 Protection of civilians and civilian objects 1.It is prohibited in all circumstances to make the civilian population as such, individual civilians or civilian objects the object of attack by incendiary weapons. 2. It is prohibited in all circumstances to make any military objective located within a concentration of civilians the object of attack by air-delivered incendiary weapons. 3. It is further prohibited to make any military objective located within a concentration of civilians the object of attack by means of incendiary weapons other than air-delivered incendiary weapons, except when such military objective is clearly separated from the concentration of civilians and all feasible precautions are taken with a view to limiting the incendiary effects to the military objective and to avoiding, and in any event to minimizing, incidental loss of civilian life, injury to civilians and damage to civilian objects. 4. It is prohibited to make forests or other kinds of plant cover the object of attack by incendiary weapons except when such natural elements are used to cover, conceal or camouflage combatants or other military objectives, or are themselves military objectives. The US isnt a party to the protocol.
  2. But he said he liked my ideas to, and theyre completely different from yours. theyre right here by the way. -the story could revolve around the death of an important scientist being forced to create chemical weapons for a rouge US government agency -the scientist should have a sexy daughter that is being held by the bad guys and has to rescued by our protagonist -the bad guy could be the leader an evil organization controlling the US government and making chemical WMD's to rule the world -the good guy could be a special agent working for the US or British government, whichever is more appealing -the good guys partner could be a rough older expert striken with rage after his wife was killed by the bad guy and has left retirement to kill him -another bad guy could be the leader of the rouge agency of the goverment, and that all he wants is power and money. -I could am an A.I created by the evil mastermind to watch over his plans, but i dont want him to kill the good guy when he gets captured to i let him escape. but nobody knows it -The evil mastermind could think that the greedy government guy let the protagonist escape and kills him instead -the good guys partner takes this as a chance for a counter attack and rushes to save the girl, but at the price of the death of his partner, who finds out that I really let the good guy escape, and knows that i have a much larger sinister plot, but dies before he can tell the good guy -I manage to let the good guy avenge his partner and get him to kill the bad guy while hes trying to stop me from taking control That would be the first half of the novel
  3. I dont believe thats the plot so far.
  4. Especially the new Mark 77 Fire Bombs, that they say are close to naplalm, which they say they've destroyed. Also things like cluster bombs and fuel air bombs...which are indiscriminate as to who they kill. Theres also been the depleted uranium shells. And the worst of all the white phosphor (WP) shells that produce a wall of fire that they say melt the bodies of the people near it. It says that they used naplam and white phosphor in the attacks on Fallujah here: http://houston.indymedia.org/news/2004/11/35013.php

    Body Heat

    Do the people that live in isolated cold areas such as northern Canada and Syberia have higher or lower body temps?
  6. Either way, I think all three of us should work on the novel.
  7. Are you purposley calling him Remsfatt?
  8. I'd like to be in it. Im thinking along the lines of an advanced A.I, kind of like a deus ex machina to save whoever we have as our protagonist, but afterwords turn evil. I think I should keep my name. I should be a backround character like in the musical. As for me personality deeply logical, philosophical, cold, intelligent, and meticulous.
  9. Mind control!!!Definetly the best one.
  10. Haemophilia a hereditary x-linked recessive illness.
  11. The VLT interferometric array did in fact look at the centauri system, but it wasnt for planets. It did take this nice pic though.
  12. But what I'm trying to say is thats its not one at all.
  13. Just like normal matter but the atoms are made of anti-electrons,protons,neutrons. Theyd be good weapons because when the antiparticles interact with the normal particles they annihilate each other. If we could somehow contain the antimatter and fire it in a homing missle we could destroy a ship. Actually we really dont need very much antimatter because the electrons and positrons destroy each other and create photons, a huge amount of photons that can be spotted by lasers and fired at.
  14. Yes but the definition of cake stays the same when you cut it, but a ball isnt a ball by definition anymore when you cut it, just two blue plastic semispheres.
  15. How is a ball still a ball when you cut it in two? when "ball" means 1. A spherical object or entity 2. A spherical or almost spherical body I think people are also misunderstanding the word spherical as in capillygus' first post. That you agreed with but was proven wrong.
  16. Quite I dont think modifying the ball would be an answer to the riddle. "Also"?
