As an American who lives in an area where the only person who ever runs for sheriff is a Republican, it makes me smile to see people in the UK rejecting this poo poo so enthusiastically.


I like the idea of the sheriff being accountable directly to the people in his county rather than the city council or county commissioners although I think it should be non partisan. Then again all my LE experience has been in rural places where the sheriff himself is just as likely to answer the phone if you call the office than anyone else, I doubt you can even get a meeting with a sheriff in a large county if you wanted to. Although when you think about it, a sheriff is just a department head, so why should they be elected?

Imagine if every person in Africa saw the “Africa for Norway” video and this was the only information they ever got about Norway. What would they think about Norway?

If we say Africa, what do you think about? Hunger, poverty, crime or AIDS? No wonder, because in fundraising campaigns and media that’s mainly what you hear about.

The pictures we usually see in fundraisers are of poor African children. Hunger and poverty is ugly, and it calls for action. But while these images can engage people in the short term, we are concerned that many people simply give up because it seems like nothing is getting better. Africa should not just be something that people either give to, or give up on.

The truth is that there are many positive developments in African countries, and we want these to become known. We need to change the simplistic explanations of problems in Africa. We need to educate ourselves on the complex issues and get more focus on how western countries have a negative impact on Africa’s development. If we want to address the problems the world is facing we need to do it based on knowledge and respect.

Wikipedia caption: "The picture depicts two versions of a photograph of Adolf Hitler that was retouched by an artist of the United States Secret Service in 1944 in order to show how Hitler may disguise himself to escape capture after Germany's defeat. Since Hitler's death was not a certainty in 1945 the pictures were posted up all over Germany in 1945 to ease finding the (potentially) "fugitive" dictator."

At least Goering would lavish friends with (stolen) luxuries. If you had to be 'pals' with any of the top nazi fucks he'd probably be the best option.

And now: W-w-w-wacky nazi aviation :hitler:

The "Amerika" Bomber, an enormous jet powered flying wing capable of bombing New York from Germany without having to stop to refuel. It was hoped that such a plane could carry a nuclear payload (good luck making a nuclear bomb without using that "jew science" you dumb asses).


The FA223 "Drache" was one of the first helicopters to be used in wartime. Adding to the prestige of this aircraft was that it was ALSO one of the first successful twin rotor helicopters. It was stable, could fly at a high altitude, and had an enormous amount of lift capacity. This helicopter was going to be used in the commando raid to liberate Mussolini but the machine suffered a breakdown at a crucial point in the operation.


The FA223 was not the only nazi helicopter. Another design was produced, the Flettner "Kolibiri". This one man chopper was designed for reconnaissance and observation at sea. Later designs would include a minimal cockpit.


The Nazis were idiotic and their regime was monstrous and evil. Having said that... they still developed some really remarkable machines and tactics.

I didn't know Mohawk rap was a thing, cool.

Here's the really messed up story of the soldier in that famous photo.

quote:

Patrick Cloutier was granted an "accelerated promotion" to the rank of master corporal. In May 1992, after admitting to occasional cocaine use, Cloutier was demoted to the rank of private and received a sentence of 45 days in a military prison. Subsequently on December 9, 1993, Cloutier was discharged from the Canadian Forces, after being found guilty of leaving the scene of an accident and causing bodily harm while driving under the influence of alcohol. Cloutier was convicted of ramming a double-parked car, injuring its two occupants and a 16-year-old passenger in Cloutier's own vehicle.

In 1995, Cloutier appeared in a pornographic film entitled Quebec Sexy Girls II, which spoofed his confrontation. As of 2000 it was believed that Cloutier had left Canada. However in a recent interview, the family of Patrick Cloutier mentioned that he left for Florida to work for a house contractor, but came back to Canada a few years later. He now lives in a cabin in his native village of Saint-Maxime-du-Mont-Louis in Gaspésie, working in the merchant marine, leaving regularly for trips of several months aboard boats.

It's a travesty and a monstrous act of imperialism what is happening in Gaza. Opportunistic shitheads use jingoistic populism to get re-elected and when the new Palestianian rockets finally hit Tel Aviv, Benny and his cronies will cheer, because that will get panicing people to vote for loving Likud.

But boy oh boy are you overreacting for comparing that to the Nazi-regime. Why even trying to compare the suffering of one to the other, does it somehow become more monstrous that way because "NAZIS!" ?

Israel is not trying to take ove the world, they are not actively trying to rid the world of Islam. They are fuckheads, but not Nazis.
