    I'm not at all impressed . . .

    ''By your logic, wars should only be fought hand-to-hand,  without weapons."

    Dropping such snide little comments such as that must make this Lurker feel real good.

    The original comment was in reply to Michael Maiello's contribution, in which he bemoans drones because they make "war easier to wage".  I thought the point was obvious, and didn't need further explanation.  Clearly, in your case, I was wrong.  So here goes...

    All military technology, including holding a stone when you bash someone in the head, is there for the sole purpose of "making war easier to wage".  While it's theoretically possible that the world could agree to ban drones or other military technology (we don't allow swords on a football field, why not ban them from the battlefield?), I think you might have trouble getting it past the Military-Industrial Complex lobby.

    Yadda Yadda Yadda...

    Don't get the vapors now ... But your "further explanation" makes about as much sense as this.

    ''All milit technology, includin' 'oldin' some stone webuhn ya' bash some bloke in de haid, uh uh uh uh, rite, be dehe fo' de sole purpose uh "makin' war easia' ta' wage". Wile it's deo'etical posstiggle dat da damn wo'ld cudd agree ta' ban drones o' ubba' milit technology (webuh duzn't allow swo'ds on some footie field, uh uh uh uh, rite, errrr, why not ban dem fum de battlefield, duh...uh...?), ah' fink ya' mite 'abe Barney Ruggle coppin' it past da damn Milit-Industrial C'plex lobby. Slap mah fro! Doihh, COOL! ''

    I forgot about this.

    Remember when you attacked me for copyright infringement?

    hhaahhaha

    I think I was attacking some Southern Senator?

    This reminded me of that.

    And Lurker?

    That reminded me of the first attorney I ever worked for, who would classify certain misdemeanors as:

    lurking with intent to loiter. hahahaha

    I might change my avatar (where in the hell did this term come into practice?) to loiterer.

    At any rate it is good to see you Ducky.

    Thank you for coming back once in awhile.

    It is fun to read you.

    If snarky one-liners were prohibited, we'd all be banned.

    PS Lurker came to dag as a friend of Acanuck (who is sorely missed). I appreciate that he participates here even if I rarely agree with him. What's the point of arguing with people who already agree with you?

    It didn't seem snarky or snide to me; just an economy of words that made his point.
