Best news story of the day

This put a big smile on my face:

Suicide Bomber Instructor Blows Up Suicide Bombers-In-Training

It was a bad day today for suicide bombers :

"The commander of an Iraqi militant group accidentally killed 22 members of his unit Monday who were training to become suicide bombers after he conducted a demonstration with live explosives, the New York Times reported.

The Sunni militants belonged to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, also known as ISIS, according the Times. They have been engaged in fighting with the Iraqi government army and conducted suicide bombings throughout the country."

Wait a minute! This has got to be a joke. You need instruction and training on how to be a suicide bomber?

It is such a shame they did not have a larger group.

So, I'm interested in the grades for those students. Did they all pass? Who's top of the class? Who flunked and has to repeat the class?

Obviously, even the instructor didn't get it right.

Hilarious stuff.

Reminds me of the so-called gun expert shooting his own foot in class.

My dad had a great story about a bomber.

In 1966 & 1967 dad was stationed in Seoul South Korea. Some North Korean bomber was in town to set up a bomb to be remotely triggered by radio signal. He was waiting for a certain politician to go by in his car. When the bomber armed the device it went off and killed him because the frequency he was using was the same frequency that the local cab drivers use. The bomber was the only one killed and it did little property damage. It was a win - win.

Maybe because the thread title had the word "Iraq" in it?

Like we can't discuss anything that happens in Iraq without someone getting their panties in a wad.

Oh wait....

We can't even discuss TIG welding without getting all PARFY some days...

And there is no need for that to be green. Sadly.

I agree it is sad but it's also a byproduct of how the site moderator(s) want to manage the forum content.

I'm a member of another forum (sports related) and if someone gets out of line they are warned and if it happens again they are suspended and sometimes a member is just booted out all together if they continue their antics. Not just for attacking but also for inciting friction. There's plenty of discussion but topics are discussed in a civil tone and with due respect.

No one has the time to moderate this forum. And it's pathetic that someone needs to.
