Standard "don't touch the poop" disclaimer applies. Plus freep is heavily moderated, and new posters have their posts probated/screened. Just let them wallow in their own crapulence and content yourself on the succulent tear drippings.

I'll given them this much credit: they more or less avoided spilling hate on the Obama children. Of course, that will probably wear off as they get into their later teen years and then they'll get Chelsea'd. Edit: VVV "More or less" -- when you sling around that much hate, it tends to get on everything. They just managed to find a napkin in this case. They still passively hate on them, hate around them if you will, but they won't get the direct image attacks their parents clearly deserve with every wheezing oxygen-tank-aided breath stolen from the grave.

Did any of them do the math on that memo? The time on it means that it was already past 10 or 11PM there--the initial attack was already well underway, and Stevens and VR were already beyond help at that point. So "They knew" was kind of a no-brainer, and "let them die" was mostly due to the inability to fly around the world really fast and travel to the past. Or, perhaps, they are saying we should build large underground Vaults and have everyone retreat to them on Sept 11 every year, in fear of the dreaded muslim hordes. Like Xmas in Futurama.

It's not really self-congratulatory at all but I'm sure some dumb shitheel will come in here and accuse me of it so I'm not sure I want to post it. Maybe I'll sleep on it.

Nitrousoxide posted:Yep pretty much. Ironically, the Mass Supreme Court ruling probably set back gay rights by about 10+ years because of the backlash. There likely would have been popular votes for gay marriage at this point rather than court cases trying to overturn the reactionary gay marriage amendments we have now. I wouldn't go that far. The reactionary right would/will never sit idly by and allow for a national pro-gay marriage bill. So you'd still have had to do the state-by-state process, and any serious ballot initiative would have just wound up poking the bear regardless. 10 years later, ~18 states have legal same-sex marriage, with more cases pending. Federal courts almost uniformly agree that its an equal protection issue, which means that even the reddest of red states are fair game. Its not an easy progression, but its a positive one.

I'm rather shocked that we managed to get through Pee Discussions without a single "Gun Control" joke. Its also great that they're clinging to the notion of drugged-up unemployed, when even their dream program of "test all the dirty poors" in florida could dredge up more than a low-single-digit hit rate (which wasn't enough ROI to even pay for the program).

"Teflon coated hollow points" I thought the reason to "teflon coat" a bullet was to enhance its armor-piercing abilities by reducing friction as it passes through the barrier. A hollow point is designed to mushroom on impact with a firm surface, vastly increasing its surface area. I mean, I guess it couldn't hurt to do it, but it just screams "fancy killdozer buzzword to sound tough" to me.

Basically the space-spreadsheet simulator that is Eve saw a cataclysmic battle on monday that destroyed over $300,000 of pixel spaceships, which news feeds like to pick up on and point to. It happened to be done by the eve goons which VR was a big part of. The curious part is why a freeper would be trumpeting him if that freeper wasn't also a goon (touching the poop). The regdates make it all really weird though. The rest of the thread is "I use to play X game" with a variety of 90s-era titles mentioned.

Ironically, under that law the largest corporations (*which are people too!) should get negative votes, since most pay zero in taxes and still get subsidies. Of course, if that blatant feudalism were to pass I'm sure they'd let slip a few million in tax revenue to buy a state/block seat of senators.

Where you work for pennies a day and are grateful for the chance to bootstraps up you and your family. Where gunfights over territory are a day to day thing and the dead lay dying in the streets. Where the wealthy can partake in every vice and sin, and they are lauded for being job creators. All these stories have been lost to time...Or archives, one of the two. That thread was glorious.

Also worth noting: the USSR wouldn't be invading the Ukraine because it was already part of the USSR. Seriously, it was half of Eurasia. As noted, Afghanistan is a much better comparison, and even they didn't hesitate out of fear from the US, because back then it was just a giant factionalized backwater poppy field that no one cared about.
