I'm the only one of out of 20 cousins to have served in the military or spent any appreciable time in a Muslim country and I think I'm the only one that doesn't share memes like this.

"Ok, this is our first draft, We've got Elmer Fudd, and he's saying 'Sshh... Be vewy vewy twiet.., I'm hunting Muzwums!!'" "Looks great, but you know what they say, 'show, don't tell,' and our target audience is easily confused, can we put a muslim guy in the picture?" "Sure, you want me to maybe draw Mohammed or like a normal dude holding a Koran?" "No, just make it a dark skinned guy wearing a ghutra." "Are we sure we want to go down that road? That's more of a Middle Eastern culture thing, Arab Christians wear the same stuff..." "Make it look like OBAMA!" "Okay, it looks like we've got a winner here, I'll send it off to be emailed..." "PUT A BUNCH OF CONFEDERATE FLAGS ON FUDD! HERITAGE NOT HATE!" "NO MAKE THE HAT A GADSEN FLAG!" "MAKE IT A GADSEN CONFEDERATE FLAG!" "PUT A SEXY GIRL ON HIS CHEST!"

All it needs is Rouhani and Netanyahu constantly swapping a pair of signs reading 'Muslim Season' and 'Jew Season' and it'd be perfect. Perfect for what I'm not quite sure.

Ted Cruz doesn't give a gently caress about anything or anyone that isn't Ted Cruz. He'd be a democrat if he thought it'd get him into the Oval Office.

Supposedly it is the favorite book of his kids, and yet, he seemed to have no understanding of what it's about.

I totally agree with that post, but I think the people who post that kind of thing would be horrified if they got their wish. Imagine if every war injury or death was treated with the importance of a celebrity overdose. Imagine if we reported every veteran suicide as an urgent news story. Imagine Facebook as just an endless stream of amputees and corpses. Maybe that'd get people to say "Whoa! War kinda sucks."

The right don't seem to much like wounded veterans unless they are showing the liberals a lesson. For instance a guy with no legs working an 8-hour-day on his artificial feet to make ends meet and not complaining about it. If he can't manage that due to the pain, they have no sympathy for them. Even if their own job involves sitting at a desk and discussing finances while eating donuts.

I had an English teacher in high school that wrote down updated numbers of US military deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan on his chalkboard. Totally unrelated, but you just reminded me how crazy it was to watch it grow every day and of the many conversations it started.

Nevvy Z posted:There's probably some statistics on whether people who carry are less or more likely to be murdered while being mugged. I have my guess. My mother in law worked at a bank most of her life, and apparently they were always told not to keep a gun under the desk or whatever, because drawing the gun just always exacerbated the situation and might push the robber to panic and start shooting, especially if they were doped up or a idiot kid or something. They always just said "Just do what the robber says, we're insured and even if we weren't, it's not worth getting shot for a few grand (of someone elses money). Drawing your gun almost always just makes the situation worse.

You know, even if it's true and everyone's treated equally shittily, that just means that it shouldn't just be women demanding change. But of course, standing up for the right to be treated like a human being at your workplace would be unmanly. And communist.

I tried to explain to some yutz that socialism has given us the 5 day work week, 8 hour work day, ended child labor etc etc etc, I linked him to the last real Socialist party platform in the United States and how everything they ran on eventually got passed and is heralded as proof of how great America is. He responded "Those don't sound like social issues to me" My brother responded that he doesn't get any of that so they couldn't have been to successful. I said "Just because you're getting screwed doesn't mean everyone else should accept it too" He went off on a long rant about how great his life is and he's smarter than me and blah blah blah. Basically I'M not getting screwed, YOU'RE being lazy and pampered.
