LIBERALS ARE JUST AS VIOLENT AS CONSERVATIVES!!!
FOR OPPOSITE REASONS!!!

On a side note, I think it’s funny how Americans have turned their belief that they’re a military power into a self fulfilling prophecy of sorts. I mean, they’re lucky as hell to have made it through their war of independence. Then there’s WW1, which they only really showed up for the last quarter of it, and they enter reluctantly. WW2 was pretty much the same, they showed up 2 years in, reluctantly. Their biggest accomplishment was taking Japan off of the Soviet plate. They did more than Canada on the Western fronts, but what can you expect from a country that has less total population than the united states had devoted to their military. In the end though, it was the Soviets that mostly won the war, with the majority of the rest of the job going to England and the commonwealth nations. Then there were Korea, and Vietnam, and we can see how they turned out. But they’ve managed to convince themselves that they have the best military through and through. And their devotion to this myth, actually lead them to building a virtually unrivaled military. But regardless of how strong their military is, the same thing seems true about the Americans. They’re great at winning battles, but not at winning wars.

Ouch.

I mean, it’s true (though bleeding heart libtards like myself are trying to change that), but still,… ouch.

You aren’t being funny, btw.

Ohhhh; you mean the Addams Family! ;P

But seriously, how ethnocentric are you when you think a wonderfully creepy dark comedy (horror-comedy?) U.S. TV show from about _forty_ years ago is more pervasive throughout the world than a book that’s been around for _two_hundred_, was arguably the FIRST ’science-fiction’ novel and one that possessed a profound subtext warning against the over-reaching of (then) modern man and the Industrial Revolution (see book’s subtitle “The Modern Prometheus” and look up that figure from Greek mythology)?

Now don’t get me wrong; I *LOVE* that off-kilter show, but if I’m speaking on a public forum that reaches well beyond my own little culture, I’ll take the reference that is going to be more easily recognized, even if it IS mis-recognized. (So it’s misnamed, so what? “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”)

BUUUUT, all this is tangential and beside the point of why I decided to poke my nose in here:

“What’s happening in this picture? Where did this take place? Tell us in the Comments”

Yes, please. ‘Enquiring minds want to know.’ Is it a religious ‘day of the dead’-esque procession? (tho I thought that was sometime in the autumn) Are there semi-violent protests going in in Indonesia or similar? Did some fool Olympic judge get *caught* taking bribes again? Did NBC announce they’re dropping ‘Heroes’?

I didn’t see you getting angry over the name Nickdigger

Sorry that I didn’t say anything, but I just ignored it instead.

Brilliant..I’d never run with bulls but zombies? Absolutely

Yeah, some of the liberals here recite the same crap about Bush being evil yadda-yadda-yadda, but I haven’t seen this deluge of “Let’s all lynch the President” LOLs that you seem to cite, especially since anything remotely resembling sarcasm, critique, or cheap-shot of the GOP garners your knee-jerk “All liberals are hate merchants” crap.

It gets to the point where reading your posts is like masturbating with a cheese grater: not something I’d want to do and far too painful to endure if I tried.

Obama has his convention bounce, and I guess that’s not good; but there’s still a long path to the election. Maybe I’ll cheer up on the way.

I’d guess maybe these people are on their way to Beijing’s E.P.A. office…just a thought though.
