Gay bomb?
- Thread starter TimoS

I think the first thing to consider is that the bomb really isn't a "Gay Bomb" that is obviously just media hype. What the FIOA really said is that the bomb would contain a powerful aphrodesiac that would make everyone sexually irresistable to one another. What if they hit a mixed unit with that stuff? Would it still be a "Gay Bomb?"
The next thing to consider is that if something like this really does exist, think about what it says about the mutability of the human condition? How many more human behaviors can be controlled by pheremones? Do we really want people doing this type of research into Mind Control?
Lastly, as Timos pointed out, all of this could be a hoax...but if its not, generations of computer geeks finally have a chance to get laid. The porn industry will go out of business.

The use of the word "distasteful" cracks me up.
People die, get maimed, and suffer from bomb attacks..........but people getting lustful and having sex as the result of a bomb attack?? PERISH the thought!!! :lfao:

That has got to be a joke.
Even if it was true, it's ridiculous. Alexander the Great was gay, look at what a wimp he was

Very very interesting. $7.5 Million for research? That is pocket change in the military, unless it was simply exploratory research (ie bookwork).
People find it distasteful? As opposed to dropping ordinary bombs on people and killing them? That's better?
In some countries, if I recall correctly, homosexual acts are severly punished. Drop a bomb like that on an army of soldiers like that, can you imagine the moral drop after the effects have dissipated?
However, I'm not tossing out the notion that this was a joke... It's almost too strange to believe, but then again, technology can be really strange!

Doesn't sex ed preach sex is dangerous? If not, then why use condoms? Don't they preach that sex is ok given the right circumstances (ie protection)? Don't preachers do the same (marriage)?. However, that is diverging from the topic at hand...I guess it would depend on who you ask
I think its not a matter of being "gay", but dramatically increasing sexual urges. When all you have in the immediate vicinity is the same sex (like many deployed armies), the result would be homosexual behavior. I'm guessing that is how they named the theoretical device. I don't think its about altering someones sexual preferences like the guy in the video suggested... at least thats my impression.:lol:

If Alexander was more concerned about sex than battle, and if his troops were more interested in being "engaged" with each other than being engaged in battle, then I doubt we would be remembering his name! It's an interesting concept
So does this mean that it would make all of the enemy soldiers rape each other or what? Isn't that considered cruel and unusual anyway?
That would raise some interesting questions about rape. From my understanding, its rape if you give someone a drug and they can not resist (ie too much alcohol, "date rape" drug). So, how would the definition of rape work if both people are drugged? I imagine that might be the case if two people are both drunk... I'm not too keen on the law in this area...
Well, if both people are intoxicated, the person who forced the action is the one guilty of rape in most cases. Being drunk is not an excuse, so it would probably be the same situation.
*scratches head* What happens if they rape each other than?
I dunno - well....Can't rape the willing I guess!
Talk about using sex as a weapon ... I think the hippie scientists came up with this one ... make love not war?
Whatever ... it's likely a hoax ... and if it's not, what a way to go!

And what a fine recruitment tool! :lol2:
Reminds me of that video with Triumph the insult dog where he was at a Star Wars (prequel) Premier and he talked to a pregnant "nerd" and asked if it was a boy or a girl... the woman answered a boy. Triumph answered back: "...that will probably be the last time he'll see female genitalia.."upnorthkyosa said:
Considering the alternative (war) I'd say no.MBuzzy said:
the so called "date rape" drug does not in anyway fill someone other than the intended rapist with desire. The drug knocks the victim unconscious and the date/rapist has their way with them without resistance. The law still applies. Rape doesn't have to be violent to be terrible. No is still no dammit!mrhnau said:
Axe Effect cologne products are supposedly enhanced with pheromones to make women more attracted to men. So the chemical isn't a myth and most people know that. That the chemical mixed with something else to cause attraction to the same sex is. But then again there's always alcohol.
As to the video... it's a joke... it's very well done but it's a joke. Har har. Oh I'm sorry was I laughing? Didn't mean to... t'wasn't funny.

That's pretty much what I was thinking - especially that it brought a whole new meaning to "make love, not war" as a solution to the world's problems! I mean, think about it... other than abstinence, what better form of birth control is there than homosexual sex? Quite a few SF writers - Joe Haldeman, for example - have proposed just that as a means of population control, and if we could get the population under control, think what that would do for some of the rest of the world's problems.
Well there's no better way to be sure... but there IS a problem with it however!
Can't find the cartoon but it's from New Yorker magazine... Scene on the deck of Noah's Ark... One of Noah's son's comes up to Noah and says... "We've a problem... the unicorns are gay."

It wasn't a hoax-it was a proposal out of the Air Force back in 1994 for various "non-lethal" chemical weapons. The only reputable source that I can quote here is New Scientist magazine, but it was a real proposal....whether or not it was actually funded is another story.
