NI MUERTE NI MIEDO
Playing PAYDAY 2 I'll sometimes get kicked from groups for typing up stuff like this.

code:
New York, officers put unarmed man in a choke hold and suffocate him to death. 

Ohio, police shoot unarmed teen with his hands up in the street. 

Ohio, officer shoots family of kittens in front of children and their mother. 

New York, officers shoot pug dog 19 times when it allegedly snarled at them. 

Missouri, police shoot man holding BB gun at a wal-mart. 
As a first world white male, it's the most I can do.

If it's the story I'm thinking of, the officer responded to a call about a litter of stray cats in a lady's backyard.
The officer arrived, went out back, pulled out a knife, and slit all the kittens' throats and the lady's little children in the house could hear the whole thing plain as day.
They were traumatized. The cop was completely non-chalant about the whole thing.

This is not shocking: Google is so full of "police slit dog's throat" stories I can't find the original story, which I think I found in one of the original Cops Makin Me LOL threads.
I can't find it because there's page after page of cops shooting dogs and cutting their throats and poo poo.

I give up.

R. Mute the point of the end of Snowpiercer is that the system is inherently dehumanizing and evil, no matter who is at the top, and that the only moral thing to do is to blow it the gently caress up and hunt polar bears instead.

It was a good movie I enjoyed it.

Googling 'Cop Shoots Kittens' not only lets you know that this is true, but also that the police department defended the cop and says that he did nothing wrong!

People are really hammering on the amount of racism in libertarianism this go around (most likely tied to that recent set of Mark Ames articles about it) and Jrod's really frustrated that the untermenschen can't understand how black people all being the grasshopper while white people are the ant isn't racism.

Amen. I don't like eating apples. There's something about them that is just not fun. I'm okay with them in pies, and occasionally in sandwiches, but I just don't enjoy eating them as they come. Oranges, on the other hand... :swoon:

Also, let me post my favorite Sinfest strip of all times:

Humans don't produce vitamin C, therefore, an orange is inherently more valuable than an apple. Use SCIENCE, not RELIGION for your webcomics.

the campiness, sure. like tilda swinton, the fish (haha fish!), the section with alison pill. it's deliberate all right. but it clashes with the rest of the scenes, it doesn't make sense and there's also a bunch of stupid poo poo that clearly isn't deliberate.
The shoe on the head was specifically an Asian thing, I think. Not sure as it's Korean, but it felt very Buddhist-influenced. As stated in the post where paragon1 got very angry (as he is angry with you now) I enjoyed it about like Cloud Atlas, which is to say, "Well, that was interesting." There was some novel film-making there and a moderately interesting plot and IT WAS BIOSHOCK ON A TRAIN PARAGON1 but, yeah, it's not going to break records. Also V for Vendetta is a perfectly good film, it just doesn't need to be your entire life's ideology. It's like JFK, another very well done film - if you extrapolate it out via its real-life implications it's going to fall down like a goon trying to run .5K, but if you just accept it as a self-contained dramatic exercise it's pretty decent. 60% of the time they entertain every time.
