Ok so when we were talking about Google drones/baloons etc I was not that scared, I have not reached the "Google is Evil" level of scared yet, mainly cause they have not done much to deserve it imho yet, they are honest and upfront in almost all they do and their goals are clear in almost all cases... but Facebook? You mofos are scary and now drones? Not in my skies bitches, I'll be getting myself a rifle if you enter Irish Air Space, and seeing as I am ex-reserve I am entitled to get one. Target practice my boys :P

Facebook scares me... 

If this was google I might be okay with it. 

As long as drones are kept under 500 agl and at least 3 mi away for class C,D,E,F and 5mi for class B go drones.

Would you like an explanation? :)

I would like drones to follow specific rules. 

 

Stay under 500ft agl (Above Ground Level)

Stay at least 3 nm (Nautical Miles) away from Class D,E,G (The airspace around most small airports)

Stay at least 5 nm (Nautical Miles) away from Class C,B (The airspace around larger commercial airports) (I left out class A airspace as it is the airspace above 18,000 ft msl (Mean Sea Level) so that is covered by the 500ft agl (Above Ground Level)

Time for tin foil hats and creative home made anti air defences

You mean anti tank rifles

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

Quoted from the news :

 

Maguire explained: "In order for us to fly these planes we actually have to fly above the weather, above all airspace. That's between 60,000 and 90,000 feet. Routinely, planes don't fly there, and certainly not drones."

So i think a rifle aint gonna do anything.

But i am actually excited about these technologies, because living in developing country is not easy to get internet if you're living in rural areas. I hope Google, Facebook and others that are developing this kinda thing are actually serious and prioritize developing country for their use.

Drones are a lot smaller than tanks

And so GabeN has told us to march forthith unto the Land of Holy welding our swords of mice, shields of keyboards, and helmets of Oculus Rifts where we shall reclaim it-which is rightfully ours-from the PUNY Console Peasants from whom armed only with mere controllers we shall decimate in all forms of battle and we shall dominate even in their most ridiculous tradition and infatuation of CoD. Yes, my brothers- sisters and trans sexuals too- we shall destroy the inferior of races with our might and majesty. And if any Peasants wish to join us they must speak now or forever perish. -Ancient Speech from a Leader of Old, Book of Murratri section 2

Its hard to hit one with a big ass 75mm round and a hell of a lot easier with say .50 cal. Threfore we must equip all suvs, mini vans, trucks, and sedans with browning .50 machine guns mounted on the roof.

PSSSSSH. Bigger bullet, easier to hit a target!

Hell, why not use a tank!?

I mean if the bullet is as big as the drone than it has to hit it right?

No, they need to uhhh do stuff- not just so that we can thin the cess pool of humans.
