- JKCalhoun 6y ago(I read the OP comment as sarcasm.)
- doggodaddo78 6y agoAlso sarcasm
- JKCalhoun 6y agoWhoosh! (me, LOL)
- doggodaddo78 6y agoIt's okay. Lack of sarcasm tells in textual format leads to Poe's Law. ;) I wish English had inline accessory indicators to tack on tone for context instead of ambiguous wording, especially for critical conversations (that probably should be had by phone or in-person). Perhaps emoji serve this purpose? Why not some sort of diacritics though?
- canadianfella 6y agoI wasn’t being sarcastic at all, and I don’t see how the other comment was sarcastic. Aerosol a mad cow brain would be the crudest method.
- canadianfella 6y agoHow was that sarcasm?

- raintrees 6y agoToo long between "attack" and result? Most terrorists/freedom fighters (pov required) seem to be attempting to further their own causes. Wouldn't this be more for the lunatic who either hopes to take humanity down in the long run, or just does not give an f? More of a 12 Monkeys scenario? Regardless, happy Monday, indeed...
- Scandiravian 6y agoI think the timescale is too long for it to be an effective tool for terrorists Terrorism is first and foremost a propaganda strategy to destabilise the political system in the target country and recruit new members to the organisations cause Since prions take decades to progress, a terrorist attack using such a weapon, would probably not create the shock and outrage, that makes headlines
- oxymoran 6y agoIt would be the perfect timetable for an adversarial country looking to become the next superpower to use as a bio weapon though.
