I fail to see the humour in this. Ok, I don't agree with useless youth having nothing better to do and generally being a nuisance but common...it's my tax money and I am equally unprepared to pay for this plonker who ran over a load of idiots...suffice to say, he gets what he deserves, plus, the rebels get more what they bagained for. Either way, it's disturbing.Quote:

If you insist on provoking don't cry if it works. The only thing that could make it even more beautiful would be the ambulance ariving too late because of more of these useless hippies organising a flashmob a street further. Driver should be charged for attempted manslaughter of course but I am pretty hehe.
What a sick ****er.Quote:

To be honest, there are worse things you hardly have a choice in like my heating costs. :sweatdrop:
Well, not to derive the thread, here is a nice video of uncle Putin supposedly being nasty and you get some nice footage from the receiving end of a russian air-to-air missile. ~D

I'm not ashamed to say that I certainly felt a little emotional watching this, especially from 3:00 onwards.
Stop complaining about it. Don't start something you can't finish. If they'd held out a year longer this is what they would get. Don't forget that the bomb was designed to counter Germany, not Japan.
Stop complaining about what? I don't recall having complained at all, just feeling a little emotional and proud of the history of my country. The song talks about national identity, and nothing else.Quote:

Hell yeah let's kill the other guys to save our troops. Isn't that the point of war? :dizzy2:Quote:

Oh, he also got his license suspended for six months.

**** you very much, MADD and other assorted neo-prohibitionists.
On a lighter note, Charles Barkley has an 'Anchorman' moment:

Ah, so deliberatly mass murdering civilians is suddenly ok now, huh?Quote:

One way or another, however, this thread is not the place to discuss it.Quote:

Yes, but from experience, this kind of spin-off can go on for pages. The post below yours is a good one.Quote:

Start a new thread on the topic, either in the backroom or the monastery. Leave this one for vids.

Like Space Nazis?
Oh, and Cops meet ducks.
I'm not too worried; after all, we've already got Jews in Space.Quote:
