Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8Don't you numties understand that we need weapons in the world to defend our societies?
Humans have at least another million years of evoving to do before we can dispense with weapons.
Of course, you people are unwilling to acknowledge this obvious fact. "How many times will a man turn his head, and pretend that he just doesn't see?"
In your case seainin it would need to be multiplied by a factor of ten...
Our anti war meeting is tonight in the Dundrum Family Recreation Center at 8pm so I will bring this issue up as the address for the company is in Dublin 14.
We've been supplying weapons since European armies were buying horses at the ballinasloe horse-fair. Every country has an arms industry, even those left wing fascist sates the Irish-left had (an continue to) have a hard-on for.
like computer parts and computer software to me? where exactly does this fit in with the anti war movement, do we have any proof that these were used in killing people
They are exhibiting at an arms fair - maybe they are selling cute-bunny software that wonders around your desktop - but I'd say that it is more likely to be something to do with weapons, wouldn't you?
but Micro$oft and Linux are used by the military too shall be mount pickets there as well???
I'd have no problem pitching rocks at them.
But your point is silly anyway. It only makes sense to exhibit at an arms fair if you have a product that is tailored especially for military use. If a particular army are shopping for desktop OSes or database servers or whatever, they're going to go shopping at a software fair, not an arms fair. Geddit??
