It has come up a few times today, so I ask you; Is there any problem that cannot be overcome by
simply delivering massive amounts of ordinance on people we disagree with or who get pissed off when we decide they are inconveniently living on "our resources"?

1. If there is, I suggest we build a bigger bomb, and drop THAT on the mofo.

2. I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
From "Aliens":

Vasquez: All right, we got seven canisters of CN-20. I say we roll them in there and nerve gas the whole fucking nest.

Hicks: That's worth a try, but we don't know if it's gonna affect them.

Hudson: Let's just butt out and call it even, man! What are we even talking about this for?

Ripley: I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Hudson: Fuckin' A!

Burke: Hold on a second. This installation has a substantial dollar value attached to it.

Ripley: They can bill me.

Burke: Okay. This is an emotional moment for all of us, I know that. But let's not make snap judgments, please. This is clearly an important species we're dealing with and I don't think you or I or anybody has the right to arbitrarily exterminate them.

Ripley: Wrong!

Vasquez: Yeah, watch us.

Hudson: Maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events, but we just got our asses kicked, pal!

Burke: Look, I'm not blind to what's going on, but I cannot authorize that kind of action. I'm sorry.

Ripley: Well, I believe Corporal Hicks has authority here.

Burke: Corporal Hicks?

Ripley: This operation is under military jurisdiction, and Hicks is next in chain of command. Am I right, Corporal?

Hicks: Yeah... yeah, that's right.

Burke: Yeah... look, Ripley, this is a multi-million dollar installation! He can't make that kind of decision, he's just a grunt! Ah, no offense.

Hicks: None taken. Ferro, do you copy?

Ferro: Standing by.

Hicks: Prep for dust off. We're going to need immediate evac.

Ferro: Roger. We're on our way.

Hicks: Alright. We take off, nuke the site from orbit.

3. Absolutely Yes!
The annoying problem of delivering massive amounts of ordinance on people we disagree with or who get pissed off when we decide they are inconveniently living on "our resources."

5. Well, it doesn't seem to work against cancer
It can seem to shorten the time one fights with cancer, however.

6. Apparently not
as humanity has been operating by that principle for an awfully long time.

7. No problem with that option if one ignores any semblance of morality in a solution. n/t
