This war on Cops is not going to end well. If people continue to harass cops someone is going to get shot. You take a person in a high stress job where every traffic stop has the potential to end your life (especially in cities like Detroit) and then you get assholes who want to follow you around waiting for you to have to arrest someone so that they declare you being excessive. The kid got exactly what he wanted, he made a cop angry so that he could film some police "aggression", all while staying just enough on the right side of the law that the cop was helpless to do anything.

The "silent" war has been a huge success already-

Distracting and dumbing-down an entire nation while toxifying them with food, advertising, punditry, sports diversion, terrorist paranoia, mindless, vapid dialogue of current events designed to disrupt critical thinking and instill a systemic helplessness to recoil or rebel....It's going to take meta-programming on a global scale to correct this fuck-up, or perhaps simply worldwide natural catastrophe or alien invasion. We could start by executing politicians on national television, that'd be the fastest quick-fix...after a speedy series of mock trials of course-

In Australia, the government passed a law banning practically all guns then confiscated (read 'buy back') and destroyed them all. News photos showed guns in giant trash compactors and being sawed in half with sparks flying. This is the argument against anyone-especially this administration-who say "we don't really want to take your guns." Mexico is easy. Guns are completely outlawed there and so we see the population as helpless against better armed criminals. All the NRA has to do to defeat even the most simple legislation is bring these two examples up and you're done. That's why there is no hope of compromise.
--i'm not making an argument for or against. I'm only trying to make a correct observation of the condition.

Kuwait is a tiny country, and didn't have nearly the military that Iraq had because of US support of Iraq. Do you remember until he attacked Kuwait he was a big Ally, we loved him and supported him right through his greatest atrocities.

The Gulf War was just us rolling over them, it wasn't even a fight it was us flexing our muscles and a good sign to other countries not to step out of line. We then allowed Saddam to stay in power by letting him crush the resistance against him which was serious and would've most likely overthrown him. We imposed sanctions that were in the words of Dennis Halliday "Genocidal." And which when asked if killing 500,000 Iraqi children was ok Madeline Albright said "We think the price is worth it."

Iran isn't like Iraq at all, either before the Gulf War or Before the Iraq War. It's got a much more powerful and technological military. Also the US is simply not as powerful as it was. Remember the Gulf War was just after the Wall Fell, we were the worlds only super power. The Iraq War was against a basically helpless nation (even Kuwait wasn't afraid of them anymore), and we were stuck there for years, it was ridiculous how we fucked it up so amazingly. Russia in Chechnya is pissing themselves over how we fucked it up so badly. If David Petraeus could do what Putin did, he's probably be considered the greatest military man the US had ever seen.

I'm sorry but we cannot invade Iran like we did Iraq, simply because the world is changing too quickly. It's not going to happen, and if it does, you'll see a real uprising in the US. The OWS thing has more sympathy than people think, it's just bubbling under the surface. If it's given a huge cause the troops will have to be called back to the US to control the population.

Also contrary to popular belief Wars don't make money, they cost money. Preparing for War makes money, the Military Industrial complex wants to always be spending money Preparing for War and not having to fight one that would take significant resources, like getting bogged down in Iran.

I'm sorry but it's just nothing like the same thing going on. I don't think we're going to be invading Iran on the ground ever do to the change in the power system and the enemy.

I gave you examples, you want more or do you want to do your own research? The American public was scared of Saddam in 1990 and they were scared again in 2003. In both cases there was NOTHING to be scared of yet you had people training and buying guns just in case he came HERE to the United States.

Hell you don't even have to look hard, remember the Red Scare when everyone was terrified that the communists are going to choke us in the night? We're a scaredy cat nation, because the propaganda is geared towards scaring us. You can't deny the effect of propaganda on people, it turned us from not wanting to get into World War 1 to a German hating crazy warmongering public. We couldn't even play Bach here because we hated Germany so much. Also the Yellow Journalism that got us into the Spanish American War, there are still people terrified that Cuba is about to strangle us...SERIOUSLY FUCKING CUBA!

Goebbels, Hitlers propaganda minister, based HIS propaganda on the United States' model. This shit is all documented, and you just sit there "Nope not true" you don't have any evidence though.

Chomsky talks about getting letters from people constantly about how dare he defend (as if he does) the helpless people that might kill us at any moment.

LOOK Right here at home, we're terrified of black people, so lets have a War on drugs to make sure if you're a 14 year old black kid with a joint in your pocket you go to jail for a LONG AS TIME. Just look at any prison, you'll see the effect it had.

Just provide some evidence for what you claim...it's not hard, till then you can't tell me I'm drinking kool aid because I actually work at gaining knowledge.

"You know things are bad when someone on the terror watch list...." Please Xiaelao, spare us the insulting terminology, no such fucking thing as terror.

No, you know things are bad when you have such a completely bullshit phraseology as "Terror Watch List", "terror alert level (insert color here), "no fly list", etc. The term "gun control" is being replaced in the U.S. media with the psycho-cyberdine phraseology, "gun safety", because these cunts are helpless to conceal their own fuck-ups.

...a few more that have become entrenched in the lexicon of acceptable terminology for verbal camouflage, friendly fire, collateral damage, and other euphemistic language designed to conceal reality....
It killed Carlin to watch it-"Poor people used to live in slums, now the economically disadvantaged occupy sub-standard housing in the inner cities."

Wool + Eyes = Pull

Really? Even if they deserve it and aren't lying helpless on the ground?

Republicans!!.........DEMOCRATS!! CEO's, bankers...(watching the world burn and editorializing on the spectacle with in-eloquent, imitated verbiage, through smudged, mud-encrusted goggles.)

TYT claim to fame (using newsspeak) making a name off of the opinion of their fawning press and how peeps REACT to anything completely out of their control, AND LAUGH AT YOU WHILE THEY SUCK AT IT!! I maintain as always, TYT yet another iteration of the same fucking tools, designed to render helpless those who may not be capable of using a simple implement.....saaaay, a shovel or mallet.

Yep, these guys are fools. But dude - trying to reclaim 'faggot' in this way seems less than useless. Unnecessary to make your point, which is that these guys are willing to spend an inordinate amount of money to claim some sort of idealized 'masculinity.' Consider that your use of the word 'faggot' and comment that 'men are dead' does much the same thing. Men are men - there're lots of different types of us. These guys are fools not because they fail to meet an idealized 'masculinity,' but because they are desperately chasing that masculinity in the silliest, most helpless way possible.

Those comments aside - a good find.

One problem...the US doesn't want to launch a war against Iran. They just don't it doesn't meet the modern criteria for a war because they're not helpless like Iraq or Afghanistan. Israel will do exactly what the US tells it to do, the US is the mob boss and Israel always follows it's orders because when they don't they get hammered.

Iran has an army, they have the ability to bog us down for a LONG time, they withstood 10 years of war against an American funded Iraq. So the very premise that he's supposing that the US wants a war, they don't.

Seriously watch a Chomsky talk about Iran.

Not very good tactics - at least from what I saw.. Good for feeling more than helpless but really ineffective and a bit dishonest.

The trainers know the real deal, but are obviously providing training under restricted parameters.

Nobody is going to come through the door like that and most walls will not protect you.

The worst part is trying to put down an attacker like that. If he has a rifle you might stand a chance, if he has a handgun - its not going to work out most times. If he has a knife, it's even worse.

You need way more people by the door and they should all be in contact in a human chain.

If you are armed only with your hands against someone with a gun/knife - you have put yourself in the worse position possible with the least probability of survival.

I'm not taking sides here but please (he asks having been just as divisive when rattled) " as long as we let evil people like yourself bully"...etc. etc. Come on??! It's a valid point and labels and judgements are unnecessary. Just listen to the pontificous blowhard tugging at your heartstrings with a clear intent of helping helpless people make helpless decisions. I hate diatribes like this ...THINK OF THE CHILDREN, shit...Fuck you! Think of people like you)whoever this TV head is, not you netrunner), editorializing putz with agenda favoring police state, making YET another plea to collective insanity.

Who got the developmentally fractured shooter the gun?
Who raised the retard?
Who takes personal responsibility for their own actions? Who lets those who would create more imbeciles suggest baby-out-with-bathwater moves to adjust laws instead of minds?

These are questions that need to be asked, among others.
For instance, "Who let this cocksucker on television?!"

when parents feel the need to resort to this extreme, then it's obvious to me that the parents are shitty role models to begin with.

the dad seemed to only care about the money he lost not working.

The kids get these ideas from their parents in the first place, so hrm, wonder who mommy was sneaking in at 3am?

This idea that parents are somehow helpless at preventing their kids from doing this stuff in the first place is ridiculous.

all this does is teach kids to not get caught

>> ^VoodooV:
WTF? Did Obama visit Yogi and do a Sandusky on him or something? Talk about taking it personal.
I agree both parties are shitty, but it's demonstrable that one is worse than the other. Yeah, I'm not exactly a fan of drone strikes and dead civillians. But you honestly think the other guy is any better? Or hey, you want to go back to Bush the lesser and not only have a bunch of dead civillians, but have a bunch of dead Americans too because of wars of deception? Romney's beating the war drums for Iran. Yeah...SO MUCH BETTER!! lets have MORE dead people wooo!! I'm sorry, but cherry picking drone strikes is pretty bad tunnel vision, when in reality, it's actually drastically reduced the death toll because they are strikes instead of another occupation where even more people would be killed.
I'm sorry, but we are never going to live in a world where our politicians are squeaky clean. Even in a utopia, our politicians are going to have to, by necessity, do shitty things. In the real world, people have to get their hands dirty.
It's great that you're idealistic, really, I applaud it. But here in the real world, we really do have to choose between the lesser of two evils. Take your pick or stfu.
Edit: sorry, I always mix up Kofi and Yogi for some reason.


Here's the thing, I can't even argue this with you because you don't know fucking anything.

1. We're not going to War with Iran...never will we go to war with Iran. They don't meet the fundamental requirement for being a helpless nation. We might bomb their nuclear facilities but that won't do shit.

2. Both parties aren't shitty they're different wings of the SAME PARTY.

3. Cherry picking Drones strikes isn't about tunnel vision it's a War Crime. It's also destabilizing Pakistan, which has Nukes and people in it who are a serious threat. That might actually happen, Iran never will.

4. It's got nothing to do with me being Idealistic (I'm far from it) it's got everything to do with me taking it upon myself to become educated in this shit. I KNOW MORE BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.

5. I'm not gonna pick the lesser of Two Evils again. I did it once for Obama when it was a serious historical event, something that hopefully would've moved us forward. I'm not in a state that matters so I'm not gonna vote for him again.

6. He's Black.

I'm probably over-thinking this, but personally I wouldn't want to associate "fun" in the kitten's mind with pouncing towards my head, while I'm in bed or otherwise.


If you have them from this age you can teach them to play without claws. It's well worth the effort
