Snuff?

Reality.

Religion.

Fuck that dude is way too psyched up about this. Must be an avid LiveLeak viewer.

Is the title accurate? It seems like the blast wasn't caught on video, just on camera.

it's alright guys. they're just Sri Lankans. it's only disturbing when they come from our country. preferably white.

What the hell was that? Why was that guy so excited about it?

I downvoted - not because this is snuff, but because this is the definition of terrible reporting. What, is he straight outta college? Anyway, no excuse for such lack of professionalism.

I'll re-iterate my comment.. i upvoted for awareness, but i thought i could see bits of people flying through the air, and that made me feel very strange.

quite shocking

When America doesn't care, we're callous White people.

When America cares and does something, we're "imperialists".

Solution: laugh at liberal nonsense.

^ I'm only upvoting your observation, not your solution QM. You're dead on with the observation.

I had to re-register just to say this:

Don't you ever group yourself in with Americans, QM.

You are nothing close to a good person. You have never been right about anything.

Why don't you start a new business to profit from the ignorance you love to exploit and perpetuate?

Someone is getting all your money, you damn freak.

You are the worst kind of person.

Worse then a mohel.

The world loves us when we step in appropriately. There are obviously a few dogmatic fascist regimes that will call us names, but that's only because they fear us.

Of course, that all changed when Bush invaded Iraq, because that was completely inappropriate. We can get our respect back, but it's gonna take a while.

I'm not sure what you mean about the liberal nonsense. Certainly there is plenty of nonsense coming out of the left, just as there is plenty coming from the right. But it's the conservatives who flip-flopped from non-interventionists to preemptive warmongers.

First off: I'm not defending QM here, but I do disagree with you on a couple of points, and I do agree with the "observation" part of his post.

Which Bush invasion of Iraq? The first one was probably appropriate, though it arguably should have been taken to completion.

The second Bush invasion of Iraq was not the point when "that all changed". Bush invaded Iraq (on an admittedly flimsy premise) following the attacks of 9/11, which were perpetuated because of (among other reasons) a perceived threat of American imperialism. We've been vilified for sticking our noses where they don't belong since Vietnam.

People only cheer American intervention when it doesn't cost them anything - when all they receive is aid without obligation.

Now, understand that I'm not saying the invasion and occupation of Iraq is justified, I'm just pointing out that global animosity over American meddling is by no means a new thing. And it's by no means a Bush thing, though I'll readily admit he wasn't helping matters. And it's not going to change anytime soon.

The video is shown at 0:50.

We've been vilified since long before Nam, and in some cases rightly so. Look up the history of Iran for example. Any idea why they hate us so much? Do you think us deposing a rightful and Democratic Prime Minister back in the 50s to install the Shah might have had something to do with it?

The CIA warned us at the time that there would be blowback, that's on record, and what we saw a couple of decades later after the extremist movement had time to ferment and grow under the Shah was that blowback. It wasn't an extremist nation in the 50s. And we always act like we don't have any idea why they were pissed.

Nothing excuses a terrorist or extremist but that kind of anger often has roots somewhere, in that case it was in our concern over them wanting to control their own oil. We thought nationalization of it was a big problem. In "dealing" with that we just created a bigger one. We've got a habit of that. It's not that we don't have a right to do anything, just that we too often decide to do the wrong thing and are too aggressive about it so trade small problems for big ones as a result. Instead of pretending that we're simply misunderstood and there's no reason for the anger we'd be better served to try to find the roots of it and deal with the problems.

>> ^direpickle:
The attacks on 9/11 were perpetrated by a relatively small group of dogmatic people, yes because our noses were where they thought they didn't belong. This group of people != The World, though. We had the world's sympathy and cooperation during the invasion of Afghanistan. It was indeed during the flimsily-pretexted lead up to the Iraq invasion that "world" (Most of Europe and Asia, anyway) opinion began to firmly take a dive.

I agree with you completely up until the end there. Yes, the 9/11 attacks were the result of extremists, but sympathy and cooperation we received during the initial invasion of Afghanistan was due to those attacks. I'd be more likely to suggest that world opinion of us took a brief upturn as a result.
And you're right that our image in Europe and (some of Asia) has been damaged, but again, what's one more collision in a demolition derby?
