So...when is our government gonna outlaw 'flea bombs'? 100 of those in a major building's air shafts could do some damage, I'd conjure.

Raid uses pyrethroids, which are only really toxic to Insects.
Sarin has the same mechanism of action as some Insecticides (though I don't think Raid is actually one of them), but that's not the same thing at all.
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!

Quote:So you knew he didn’t have WMDs, because we found WMDs in Iraq. No amount of logic can bring you to that conclusion – that is driven by ideology.

I'm sorry Finn, but the plain fact of the matter is that the horror story that the Administration painted was just that: a story. It was far away from the reality of the situation ... a reality readily available to anyone who chose to listen to ground-based evaluations.
And getting back to the original point: That is how I knew that Saddam DIDN'T have WMD.

Quote:I’m not often persuaded by ideology. I tend to look at the facts. I’ve heard a lot of magnificent arguments about why I’m going to hell, but I don’t buy those either.

Quote:LOL, yeah, and I once found my son with an empty box of cookies, so I said "Where are you hiding the rest, whelp?"

He said there were no more, that he'd just finished the box that was there, but I knew better- so I tore apart the house. I didn't find them, but I KNEW they existed...perhaps the mice spirited them away.
Finn, your Herbert routine is getting old.

Yeah, but people just blindly following Ideology say the same thing.

Quote:That’s an ideologically driven opinion as well, since you can’t know that. I have my doubts that this is a fair comparison to your son, however.

Quote:Thanks, but that is not a popular theory in certain circles. Some of my more devout friends don’t like my point of view about the inability to “know” unknowable things, anymore then others do.
