Yeah, I'll just quote this...

"Truman did not cower at the mention of the word “socialism,” which in those days was distinguished in the minds of most Americans from Soviet Stalinism, with which the president—a mean cold warrior—was wrangling.

Nor did Truman, who counted among his essential allies trade unionists like David Dubinsky, Jacob Potofsky and Walter Reuther, all of whom had been connected with socialist causes and in many cases the Socialist Party of Eugene V. Debs and Norman Thomas, rave about the evils of social democracy.

Rather, he joked that “Out of the great progress of this country, out of our great advances in achieving a better life for all, out of our rise to world leadership, the Republican leaders have learned nothing. Confronted by the great record of this country, and the tremendous promise of its future, all they do is croak, ‘socialism.’”"

You are like a small child afraid of the monster in the closet when, in reality, there is nothing there. Do public servants like police/fire brigade etc draw pensions on retirement? That's socialism. Capitalism says that they are at the end of their useful life, and if they haven't saved for their retirement, fuck em.

And let's not even get started on christianity (love they brother and money is the root of all evil), damn Jesus and his socialist bullshit... X D

What I'm wondering is when does the Ruskie fire brigade get to call out this service? Is it reserved for former party members and the criminal elite or are Uri and Magda *Cysiet entitled to the air-tanker service?

My phonetic variation of "neighbor" in Russian, 'cause I try to be a clever mtrfkr when I can-

........When you think about it, it would be the first time the fire brigade would actually need a flamethrower instead of a water hose

So the fire brigade uses what appears to be a wooden ladder.

She falls into a 6 meter hole, so over 18 feet deep....an 18 foot wooden ladder.

And there has now been an official investigation into this exact incident and one fire officer has been stood down temporarily for disobeying instructions given to the public by the fire brigade itself, namely driving through water of indeterminate depth. How dare firemen risk their lives to help others?!


God when will the stupidity stop? Do people just not think anymore? Who ever bitched about it needs to STFU and let these men do their job. I think there are better ways to spend money than investigating people out saving lives. I guess if one of those who complained or did the investigation ever has a fire they can say "Sorry we can't get to you. There is water on the ground."

You can see the snorkel just behind the cabin in the last few seconds of the video.

Where is the snorkel ? ?

I also wondered. How the hell does this thing work without air? Or is Isuzu pioneering fuel cell fire trucks? :-)
