how horrible a person am i for immediately thinking "that has got to count as lethal damage"

[Royal☭]

I think you may have tapped that joke a bit too soon.

I guess the next point of escalation is for someone to be murdered for their WoW gear or something like that?

The real life pk ship sailed in 2005, if not earlier. Some guy in Shanghai stabbed someone over an item in Legend of Mir.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. But he claims the hurricane is also punishment for the Madrid Peace Process!

By no means even think about reading the comments on that fucking story. People are seriously making excuses for this, and irrelevant ones at that. Blaming her for being out there in the first place, saying the kids were probably already dead, etc. Just... fuck. None of that matters. If you shut a door in a woman's face when she asks you to call 911, you're a fucking animal. And if you're part of that fuckload of uninvolved strangers grasping at any straw they can to make that somehow alright? You are living shit.

Speaking of hurricane sandy, as a brazilian, if there's anything i could have done to prevent this, i am sorry.

More than 2/3rds of Israelis believe that if Palestine is annexed by Israel, Palestinians should be denied the right to vote.  3/4ths are in favor of segregated roads for Israelis versus Palestinians.  1/3rd want Arabic citizens of Israel to be stripped of the right to vote.  6/10ths believe that Jews should be given preferential hiring treatment for government jobs.  It just goes on like this.

The psychology and history of Israel always manages to strongly remind me of something. You know, an entire culture so traumatized by an unspeakable evil done to them that, like an abused child, they end up becoming the very thing that they hate and fear...



Oh, right.

[Zaratustra]

There's more than one reason Israel and US are the bestest buddies in the world.

[Sharkey]

I'm sure there's probably a cloyingly cutesy Japanese comic where anthropomorphic chibi-USA and Israel-tan bond over their love of misguidedly subjugating and terrorizing others to prevent their personal tragedies from recurring. Said subjugation represented by, I dunno. Ice cream.

When the ice cream falls and plops on USA's shoes they throw Afghanisu-tan in a dumpster because she was watching. It's adorable.

If this actually exists I really don't want to know about it.

Politically conservative Jews have never really cared about oppression all that much as long as it's Jews subjugating goyim.

[Büge]

Well, they are the chosen people.

[Brentai]

Politically conservative A have never really cared about oppression all that much as long as it's A subjugating A'.

[Mongrel]

I think what kills me so much is that the actions of the modern State of Israel are providing enough rocket fuel to sustain anti-semetism for at least another thousand years.

"See? See? Give them a country and see what they do!"

If I were actually Jewish (instead of just being a guy who has a last name that sounds Jewish and also looks like an 1890 caricature of a Jew) I would be incredibly pissed off that some middle-eastern pricks who can't get over themselves are placing my life and the lives of my descendents for generations in danger with their stupid bullshit.

Or shit, I dunno, maybe I'd drink the Kool-Aid and be like these North American idiots who buy Israel bonds for SOLIDARITY. Fuck.

[Brentai]

The problem isn't with the Jews so much as the whole "give them a country" idea itself.  The moment you create a government on the basis of a specific ethnic group rather than a partitioning of regional concerns, you kind of give up the right to act surprised when it starts governing in favor of a specific ethnic group rather than regional concerns.

[Sharkey]

Yeah, just the sort of thing that tends to happen when you move into somebody else's house against their will while they're still living there. I dunno, maybe they could just do like we did and send all the Palestinians to Oklahoma. I mean, they have so much in common with the locals they should get along famously, right? They can get together on the weekends for tea, scones, theocracy, and blowing up government buildings.

[Sharkey]

I hate linking to huffpo, but this one's straight up factual, and  the teaparty ripping on an opponent because he doesn't have kids is just too fucking priceless.

Especially this part...

Gabel said this includes parents wanting neighborhood schools and the ability to spank their children without fear of state officials. "Someone who does not have kids and does not sweat blood thinking they can't spank them -- if you don't have kids you don't understand that."

Because someone who doesn't have kids can't understand how badly we want to beat our kids? Fucking. Seriously. "Sweating blood" seriously.

[Brentai]

Whipple's opponent, Lindsey, also does not have children, but the Tea Party has not campaigned against him because Lindsey is more in line with the party's principles, said Gabel.  The piece also criticizes Whipple's experience as a public school teacher...

This smells funny.  I know I'm always the one telling others not to assume a measurable minima of human intelligence, but, hell.  The only way I can imagine walking into a pole this hard and this specifically is if you intentionally lined up and started running full-force at it.

[NexAdruin]

If you are sweating blood because you need to beat your children and there is no other outlet for your rage then you have a serious issue that your child should not be held responsible for. I've never been a parent but I have been a child.
