Six Seconds of the Best Acting I've Ever Seen

blankfist says...

This isn't the worst acting from the movie either! There's another clip where some hillbilly sees a werewolf in his house and goes on for a good minute in poorly affected shock that there would be a werewolf in his house... man, I've got to find that clip! Genius!

[edit]This may not be the same movie I was thinking of...

Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits

I know it's already in the tags, but red Reebok hi-tops and a white sweat band can only mean *80s!

As for Knopfler, his virtuosity and musicianship are impeccable. Some of his best is, imho, the country music he's recorded... check out the "Notting Hillbillies", his album with Chet Atkins is superb, and his more recent projects with Emmylou Harris are stunning.

Obama faces racism in West Virginia

Bigboomer says...

Attention Americans:


This is why the entire world classified you as ass backwards hillbillies who marry their cousin.

You'd be better off leaving Iraq, and killing these fucking hillbillies.


The few morons will ruin the nation as a whole.

Obama faces racism in West Virginia

Doc_M says...

Don't mind my poking, lesserfool, it was slightly tongue in cheek. However I find it more and more so that urban folks are NOT in fact more educated than smaller town folk (with the exception of true hillbillies). They are simply educated in different areas, and people in both places are poorly educated in certain areas. Yuppy elitism is a huge annoyance to me. I've met too many yuppies who only believe what the nuts at Union Square tell them on T-Shirts and Posters. My town is small and rural, but LOADED with huge minds.

Anyway, even if Obama did have some Muslim history, he left it behind so who cares. His church might be a disgrace, but he essentially disowned it recently so who cares. He has at no time implied the things that Wright preached were true. He never said the US made HIV and he obviously isn't a racist. If people want to encourage people not to vote for him, there is enough fodder in the issues themselves to work with. They don't need to dig around in the mud.

P.S. If you nominate Hillary, there's no way in Hell that any republican is going to cross the lines to vote for her. With Barak... not so.

Let some hillbillies fire me for witchcraft and see what would happen......I'd start a fucking coven in that town, and lure their daughters away.....

Who gives a fiddler's fuck about how we got here?? Evolution explains about 20 percent of the big picture anyhoo....the critical issue is this:
People are useful in masses, when their heads are up their asses, buried in pussy, television, and fatty foods, and wondering who is going to win what and where....We need to kill the son of a bitches keeping us in this state, if we ever want to see any REAL evolution on this motherfucker-drag then out of their high towers, kill them, their offspring, and for crissakes build a monument to the day we freed our minds-Non-linear is the only way to evolve....not in some goddamn straight line-(I haven't said fuck Obama in the ass today yet...."Fuck Obama up in his ass!")

Why Do ALL Europeans Hate America?

actually, yes. we all do exactly that, sometimes.

because in desperate times, we're more likely to react emotionally.
and seek unity, to find comfort in eachother, and to steel our resolve to respond.

sometimes, cooler heads prevail. more compassionate, reasonable heads.
but that path is harder. and is therefore not usually the first option to enter our minds.

the default option belongs to our baser instincts. our less rational selves.
the fight or flight response. and humans don't fly very well...

Why Do ALL Europeans Hate America?

>> ^Doc_M:
And in response to said hatred of "American Nationalism," there are two problems... First, you're getting an inaccurate picture of it from your media AND from ours. There is no doubt in my eyes about that. The BBC and other foreign news agencies just love to portray Americans as either Valley Girls or ignorant hill-billies who say "get-r-done" far to often with a Big Mac in one hand and a Shotgun in the other. I guarantee you can find the European version of each of those sorts if you look around for a second. Ironically, the American media likes to do the same thing... at least the comedy portion of it does.

It's silly to accuse european media of bias towards US when the only real news you get on TV these days comes from comedians like Bill Maher, Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert. Conventional journalism in America is long dead - long live the internet...

The other problem is that Europeans seem just as Nationalist from this side of the pond as we seem to you from yours. Loving your country is by no means stupid if you have some sort of reason to do so. I happen to like it here. Sue me. hehe

We're even more nationalistic than you - well, it figures, right? I mean, we have a rich history of waging war on each other going back thousands of years while you had to invent one in a hurry. But we've learned the lesson (I hope) and we don't go around the world all snub, telling others how to lead their lives and invade coutries we don't like under some bullshit pretenses.

Bottom line, every country contains its own idiots, yuppies, hillbillies, and "MOTHERLAND-shouters" --even if they come in different forms.

True. But we don't just hand them the keys to the country as you did...

Slightly drunk Anthony Bourdain rants about the Food Network

Crosswords says...

My biggest gripe over food network is they always seem to have their THE BEST BBQ IN THE WORLD show on when I'm lounging in bed. So I'm subjected to the torture of watching all this awesome tasty looking BBQ'd meat whilst I grow ever hungry, yet the rest of my body is too lethargic to actually get out of bed and feed myself. And when I finally do get up, it is not awesome BBQ I get to have, but a bowl of frosty wheats. Further more despite living in a state that prides itself on its BBQ, the hillbillies in my area seem to think good BBQ means a cut of meat that's 70% fat, and despite that still manage to dry out what little actual meat is in the cut.

The net result, pure unadulterated torture. CURSE YOU FOOD NETWORK, CCUUUURRRRSSSEE YYOOOUUU!!!

Jeremiah Wright, Obama's Controversial Pastor

quantumushroom says...

Living in a culture that is racist, and making a spectacle of race/racism, is not the same as discussing race, which is something Americans do very rarely.

Well, you won't find any peoples on earth that aren't racist to some degree. And the Spectacle Award goes to our leftist friends, everyone else is working toward a colorblind society. Conservatives would like more Black votes but don't need them. Liberals need Black votes but don't want them.

When an honest black man has a better chance of landing a job then an otherwise equally qualified white convicted felon, then you might be able to make such a claim. Until then your claim is full of shit.

How about this: an honest man has a better chance of landing a job than a convicted felon, even one who's been forthright.

Immigrants self select, so using them as the control sample is absurd. Historically oppressed non-immigrant communities recover very slowly, though it is happening.

Excuses. And most American Blacks are middle class and do well. You just never hear about them because only crises buy votes.

Take a look at native people on reservations, or poor rural whites in the Appalachians (pejoratively called hillbillies). These groups gain social/economic parity very slowly. We can argue about why that is, but to claim that the dominant culture is not at all at fault, when they were clearly the cause of the disparity to begin with, will require some evidence beyond your hyperbole.

The "evidence" is those who are literate, work hard, don't have children before marriage, and have a consistent set of values harmonious with the larger society usually are no longer "poor" after 10 years. And half of America's "poor" own their own homes, 2 cars and 3 tvs.

Dr. Wright is a preacher who believes that a man who never existed has saved his soul, and will greet him in heaven after he dies, your statement is trivially true OF ALL CHRISTIAN PREACHERS.

Oh boy, another atheist, who can't see into the infrared spectrum with naked eye or hear the same high notes as dogs, is going to lecture about how, "There's nothing out there."

Accusing a Christian preacher of being Marxist suggests you have no idea what you are talking about.

Oh, I get the irony, since atheists, communists and marxists don't believe in God. Maoist China, Stalinist Russia and other fruitful utopian societies don't need God or religion.

I think you're confusing "discomfort" with "sick-to-death" of discussions of race.

They have also been offered more second-chances, breaks, excuses for failure and opportunities than any other minority on earth.

Group after ethnic group, including Caribbean Blacks, who arrive in America and were never taught Victimhood 101 are up and running in 2 generations. What a difference a little optimism and effort makes.

Wright is a crackpot but it doesn't matter, he's not serving up rationality.

that a would-be President shares his marxist philosophy is the cause for alarm.
