Is that the one where it shows ridiculous poo poo that could be used by supposed criminals like the guy with fish-hooks hanging from the back of his jeans' pant-leg? Or a hat with a bunch of razor blades obviously and lazily stitched into the back of a baseball cap (you know: the part with little to no real mass or structural integrity) that would be obvious from a million miles away from any angle from the direct front and could be flopped against a cop to make him die of a thousand papercuts?

Also cops busting satanic rituals and having to fight culstits with wavy daggers to save sacrifice victims.

That video is so bonkers. It feels like they underpaid the script writer and he just went "gently caress it, gonna have fun with this. I bet they don't even notice."

Yeah. Surviving Edged Weapons is both hilariously stupid and possibly one of the most effective propaganda films of all time. The fact that they cut between the ridiculous martial arts stunts and actual autopsy photos of stab wounds is the most insidious part.

I don't think anyone is laying the blame at Grossman's feet, hell we're talking about Surviving Edged Weapons as well and that came out decades ago so this ain't a new problem. Grossman is just one exceptionally lovely rear end in a top hat who really needs to go.

So, hey VGV. You helped create a game that people still enjoy playing/watching today. I hope that gives you a warm fuzzy feeling. :v:

You are right, and police departments are only falling for this guy’s pitch because that’s how they want to train their force. They’re not starting from a position of deescalatory community policing and then being convinced otherwise by Grossman’s truth bombs.

If not him then they’ll hire Steven Seagal to tell them the same things.

Expected consequence of Biden recognizing the Armenian Genocide:

quote:

Biden broke on Saturday with decades of carefully calibrated White House comments over the 1915 killings, delighting Armenia and its diaspora but further straining ties between Washington and Ankara, both members of the NATO military alliance.

quote:

Navigating those disputes will now be even harder, Kalin said. "Everything that we conduct with the United States will be under the spell of this very unfortunate statement," he said.

As well as limiting access to Incirlik, Turkey also has options to reduce military coordination with the United States in northern Syria and Iraq or scale down diplomatic efforts to support Afghan peace talks, said Ozgur Unluhisarcikli, director of the German Marshall Fund research group in Ankara.

quote:

Turkey has also called in the U.S. Ambassador in Ankara.

Unexpected consequence of Biden recognizing Armenian Genocide:

quote:

Kim Kardashian West thanked President Biden for acknowledging the mass killings of more than a million Armenians by the Ottoman Empire as genocide.

“After more than a century of fighting for truth and acknowledgment, today the Armenian people received the recognition we have all been hoping and praying for, with President Biden declaring the massacre of 1.5 million Armenians in 1915 a genocide,” she wrote Saturday on Twitter.

She also announced that her hit reality TV show "Keeping up with Kardashians" will end after the current season.

"To our amazing fans—It is with heavy hearts that we’ve made the difficult decision as a family to say goodbye to Keeping Up With the Kardashians. After what will be 14 years, 20 seasons, hundreds of episodes and numerous spin-off shows, we are beyond grateful to all of you who’ve watched us for all of these years—through the good times, the bad times, the happiness, the tears, and the many relationships and children. We’ll forever cherish the wonderful memories and countless people we’ve met along the way… the current season will be out final one and the show will end in 2021."

Is it possible that Keeping up with the Kardashians was a public relations campaign to elevate Armenian-American visibility and it is folding now that the mission is complete?

I mean at this point great, let's just get this gun debate over with. If we haven't fixed it after multiple school shootings and mass shooting events then there's obviously not enough appetite right now in the country to do anything about it. No need for gun ownership to be the thing that prevents someone from voting for more progressive policies.

Given their last ruling, I don't have high hopes for this one. They've made it clear McConnell is getting what he wants for the GOP in SCOTUS rulings thanks to the two seats he took.

Serious question, is this an actual thing? Where that's the one sole reason keeping people from voting for someone who pushes progressive policies (e.g. not Manchin if he was for gun restrictions)? I figured the only single issue that might get to that point would be abortion. Especially since "gun rights" is pretty extensive as it stands in most states (IMO, which of course is very subjective)

This won't work because guns are a cultural thing for gun people rather than having anything to do with policy. They'll still endlessly scream about how communists are coming to take their guns away no matter the state of the law.
