Hard to believe that Galatianman once had so much goodwill in this thread that people would angrily argue that no way did Lance Rengel actually believe the things he had Weed saying, that it was just him doing "Republican with Fox News brain" character work

Yes, I'm sure that this crisis is making people lose faith in public schools. Sure, people are totally preparing to keep their kids from ever returning to a place that keeps them out of the house and out of trouble for a good portion of the day now that they've seen how easy it is to deal with their children's entire education on their own. That is totally a thing. Sure.

I don't think that cartoon is about the current crisis at all. That's Pat Cross. He just thinks all public education is full of SJW liberals trying to brainwash Are Children into believing in such insidious things as uh.... *checks notes* biology.

“Dynamite guns” in the late 19th century were seen as superior artillery, propelling dynamite charges via compressed air. More lethal upon landing than a shell, less dangerous to the crew as compressed air was less likely to explode than packed gunpowder.

Dynamite was also used as a bomb and as a packed charge against fortifications.
Even so, like... hundreds of millions of deaths?

Sure! I mean, it’s estimated that all deaths in wars of the twentieth century totaled 108 million dead, and dynamite had a role in all of those deaths, whether via dynamite gun, dynamite as tool against fortifications, dynamite as bombs dropped, miniature dynamite used in guns to propel bullets, molecular dynamite used to create white phosphorous and napalm, chain-dynamite charges used in machine guns, and the occasional hand-to-hand combat (but always conducted with dynamite).

Now, that’s not quite hundreds, so you have to add in all of those who died from the Holocaust (conducted with dynamite), the Holodomor (which is Russian for “dynamite”), and The Great Leap Forward (so named because the constant use of dynamite caused bodies to be propelled as if they had jumped).

Also, cancer is caused by cellular level dynamite, so that probably puts us well over the top.

It’s a good thing we never used any of our atomic dynamite arsenals, or we’d be talking deaths in the billions from dynamite!

Edit: really, Nobel has a lot to answer for when you think about it, not least of which is rewarding Jimmy Carter

quote:

HAS LITTLE ROCKETMAN BLASTED OFF?
Rumors continue to swirl around the status of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. It is said that he grabbed at his chest and fell during a visit to the countryside. He was rushed to surgery and his doctor attempted to install a stent to help bring blood to his heart, but he had difficulty due to his great fear and shaking hands as well as the fact that his Dear Leader was extremely corpulent. What confuses me is why would any of that matter if the stent was delivered via an artery in the arm?

Regardless, it would be surprising if Kim Jong Un is really dead considering he’s only 37. On the other hand, he apparently ate a lot of fatty, rich foods and he had gained a tremendous lot of weight for his size. He did this as a lot of his subjects starved. He was also a heavy smoker. Still, one would think he would receive the best medical care available to him.

There is a rumor that the brutal tyrant fell into a vegetative state after the botched procedure. Some say he’s dead. Some, like South Korea, insist he’s alive and well. The hermit nation is very secretive, so it’s difficult to know what’s going on for sure, but the round man’s sister, Kim Yo Jong, is said to be next in line. She already has a reputation for ruthlessness and could probably replace Rocketman and carry on with his policies without missing a beat.

Why does all this matter? If the military or others challenge the sister, then uncertainty and conflict that could arise, which could turn into a cold war that could quickly morph into a hot one. North Korea is rich in resources that China desires. The US does not want to see China gain a firmer foothold on the troubled peninsula. Neither does Japan.

Meanwhile, Dennis Rodman has to be very concerned.
