What the congressman had failed to consider is that one of our notable scientists has calculated that the optimal ratio for a reserve breeding population is ten women to each man. Now, this will regrettably necessitate the abandonment of the so-called monogamous sexual relationship, as far as men are concerned. I hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious... service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics, which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.

It's also great that he apparently thinks that being gay makes you literally incapable of having sex with a member of the opposite sex.

Or that he doesn't know that artificial insemination exists.

The lunatic from Texas is partially correct, but not in the way he thinks :v: It's not ISIS but Russia that produces propaganda against countries with homosexual and transsexual troops http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/latvia-propaganda-1.4162612

quote:

A website with the same name as a prominent Russian news program has re-published infamous photos of convicted killer Russell Williams, a former commander in Canada's air force, posing in women's underwear, suggesting the Canadian military is full of homosexuals and shouldn't be counted on by Latvians.

Canadian commanders had been warned to expect a barrage of negative Russian propaganda over this mission.

The article appeared on a Russian-language news site called Vesti.lv, which is also the name of a TV news show in Russia.

The story mocks Canada's military mission in Latvia with the headline, "The Gay Battlegroup: NATO has dug into Latvia."

It goes on to say that the U.S. has the only worthwhile military in the Baltics and all the others — including Canada — are "deeply comical."

They are auctioning off some moon dust collected by Neil Armstrong when they faked the moon landing.

Luckily moon mining and Martian mining necessitate the operators never be exposed to the materials.

I'm 100% in favor of strip mining all of mars and making it a real 40k forgeworld. There is no ecology to protect and every habitable space will be entirely artificial anyway.

People would track more and more moon dust into whatever habitat they're living in every time somebody goes outside and then comes back in. It would probably take a while to be a problem, but could over time cause some serious issues.

Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead were cool and good movies, but the genre gets pretty weird and crappy after that. Notable exceptions: Lucio Fulci's Zombi (where a zombie fights a shark under water, no joke) and Return of the Living Dead.

Kinda NSFW for 70s scuba boobs

Apparently the shark was fed horse meat full of tranquilizers before that scene, and the zombie is the shark's wrangler.
