IRA versus Taliban - who would win? Who cares!

[Fodder76]

The makers of an American television show have created a computer simulator to provide the answer to a question no-one was asking, outside of a school playground or in a pub after a few too many drinks.

Seriously....

Have we really come to a point where glamourising terrorist organisations is mainstream tv?

Stupid TV show and a stupid idea. Pointless uninteresting crap. Hey, why don't we put the 1980s SAS Iranian Embassy Siege team against Frankish Knights in the "simulator"?

"Well Jim seems the SAS use of firearms provided a great advantage."

"Indeed Ray, if only the horses of the Knights had been armoured plated..."

Not surprising coming from a network that shows sadomasochists beating each other up and dry humping.

A programme that sheds light on what damage an unlubed westminister ceramonial mace would do when fully inserted in the Browns rectum, would get my vote.

I think its a pretty cool show, it's not really educational but rather I feel funacational

How can something like that make any sense? Taliban are fighting in their backyard. They know the terrain and have the motive. Same with the IRA in Ireland. So how would that ever come to a conclusion?

Just out of interest did they say what the 'experts' say?

The IRA won their simulation.

Ridiculous idea for a program. They also did Spartans vs Ninjas!!

Lol

Well i guess the Spartans won in that one. But that might be becasue it is hard to wrestle a Bronze breast plate off of a chest with an arrow in your head and a spear in your chest.

The Spartan apple is a smooth polished and deadly apple, delicious and disease repelling!

But the orange offered a deadly counter-blow to any who thought they could mock it with rhyme!

EDGE: NINJA ORANGE.

Now a real battle would be the IRS vs. the Taliban. That would be a struggle to the death, as the only certain things in life are death and taxes

Clever!

And it doesn't matter who wins! Either way humanity benefits!
