is that baby white…?
No
those shoes are flippin sweet
Ha h-…..
Not a lol. Too true to be funny…
I agree.
Yeah sometimes it’s funny cause it’s true.. but not in this case.
There was a lol a while back with the kids standing in line (i’d link it if i could find it) with AK-47s and I really didn’t think it was funny.
Now, now, don’t worry too much about that baby. It was probably born with AIDS and wouldn’t last long anyhow. Over half of all babies born in Africa today have AIDS, so being shot to death in a desperate gunfight over blood diamonds or endangered species pelts would be a blessing. And that’s not even figuring in the malaria and tsetse flies, or those horrible worms that burrow into your feet and eventually eat your lungs.
Good holy goddamn that’s maudlin.
Sadly, I fear you are correct in your assessment.
~
Meanwhile, anyone notice the guns on that chick? Holy crap!
No, it wasn’t ‘maudlin’, it was pessimistic…
It was the descriptive adjectives that made me assess it as maudlin.
Otherwise, I agree.
Either way it was hilarious.
…how do I indicate sarcasm on this forum? On the other forum I usually go on we make the text yellow but I’m not sure if that’s possible here.
Well, you could just indicate it directly:
Lately there’s been nothing but hilarious lols on the front page! [/sarcasm]
or use an emoticon of some type:
Lately there’s been nothing but hilarious lols on the front page!
Yeah I was thinking of using *sarcasm* but I figured somebody who posts more regularly than I do might know some kind of coding or there might be an inside joke that I haven’t caught on to.
I don’t think we have any generally accepted method; it’s been discussed before that sometimes it’s difficult to tell when people are being sarcastic.
Isn’t that the whole beauty of sarcasm though? If you have to explain it, it loses its magic.
That’s kind of an 80/20 percent thing about 50% of the time.
It’s made with bits of real panther so you know it’s good.
But the Internet, especially in forum form, is horrendous for getting it across. In real life conversations (and in other visual situations), there is so much else to show sarcasm. In traditional written text, you are usually wordy enough to give the receiver a chance to detect the sarcasm.
.
On the Internet you have to really now someone and their views to know when they’re being sarcastic, and even then it often leads to mistakes.
.
Once upon a time they probably realised the same thing about telegrams. I wonder how often they tried being sarcastic in telegrams. Brief internet-messages are similar to those, I think.
why would you be sarcastic with telegrams? it was kinda expensive, and took a while for that.
Real panther. I like that.
@FalieV:
Yeah, that would be the major difference… I was more going for the brevity of the medium as such. I appreciate sarcasm on the Internet, but its far harder to recognise, and to use, than in face-to-face, or more verbose, communication. The telegram comparison probably fits a bit better with sending an sms.
Ah I see. I was wearing my reality glasses. but yeah i agree, the internet is where you realize how much communication depends on subtle clues, in voice, and body language.
Do you think that this will retard the subtle art of communication for future generations? I mean, todays kids and teens all text and IM
constantly.. no face to face.. Hmmmm
Environmental Asperger’s syndrome?
(btw the kid in this pic is gonna be deaf!!!)
no i dont think so, there’s enough connection for people to still pick up the subtleties. there will always be socially awkward individuals, but normally a person befriends someone before giving their number. I communicate on boards and IMs a lot but i still socially interact in classes, work and so on.
I didn’t know Debbie Downer was posting here….
Feline Leukemia is the number one killer of domestic cats. Wah wah waaah.
Uh uh. It’s rednecks in pick-up trucks, isn’t it?
Or was that the local animal shelter? I can never get that straight.
I think it’s split down the middle.
Speaking of horrible ends to domestic felines…
But, it’s no worse then splitting hares.
*groan*
Does Debbie have uppers, too..?
If not, she’ll have trouble chewing her food!
‘realistic’ is the word you’re striving for.
And by “guns” of course I meant “arms.”
LOL
I was going to say that with those arms on mom, the little gipper
would be well advised to nix the backtalk. That is, once s/he
learns to speak, of course.
I’m going with she, given the little pink socks and hat.
I was thinking that, too, but then thought that pink may not
be a “girl” color everywhere.
Pink is certainly a guy colour in Germany. At least on the douchebag Turkish youths. Or maybe they’re all gay.
There is a lot of guy/guy smooching.
I thought the worms burrowed OUT of your feet to lay their eggs. And they don’t eat your lungs, but they do grow to over two feet long. AFAIK, the caduceus (that winged staff with serpents wrapped around it used as a symbol of medicine for thousands of years) derives from the only possible treatment for this horrible parasite: when it finally burrows out of your foot, you need to grab it and start winding it around a stick to pull the spaghetti-thick, two to three foot long worm out of your leg. Which takes a month and feels like getting stabbed the entire time.
Ah, well, there is always another form of parasitic worm. There are plenty of different types out there, if the Guinea worm isn’t gross enough for you!
Yeah, like heatherjc.
aren’t you supposed to do that with tapeworms as well?
*barfs*
That’s what poppies are for.
Well to be a party pooper, AIDS, while very high in Africa, is not at 50%. Africa does has its problems, many of which are directly and indirectly linked to the post-industrialized western nations.
Link on African AIDS rates.
Thanks. None = 50% or higher. Malaria is the secret killer.
Ah, the illustrious Plasmodium falciparum. [link]
I lost a friend (well, college acquaintance) to malaria. She was doing work in Ghana, came home feeling ill. She went to the doctor, who assumed it was just the flu. It wasn’t.
Wait, there’s absolutely no Aids in Egypt, Libiya, Tunisia and Western Sahara? Goddamn, I’m living in the wrong country.
Absence of evidence /= evidence of absence. For example,
Egypt is low for HIV/AIDS, but high for Hepatitis C.
[LINK] Wiki article including the African map Observer linked.
Anyone clear on the difference between “infection rate” and
“prevalence rate?”
prevalence: number of occurence of disease, infection etc in a population at a given point in time
infection rate: number of newly infectet beeings per /year, months etc
I’m working in the epidemiological? field and never heard of prevalence rate, I guess it’s a mistake in the article, maybe it ment “incidence rate”…
In epidemiology, the prevalence of a disease in a statistical population is defined as the total number of cases of the disease in the population at a given time, or the total number of cases in the population, divided by the number of individuals in the population. It is used as an estimate of how common a condition is within a population over a certain period of time. It helps physicians or other health professionals understand the probability of certain diagnoses and is routinely used by epidemiologists, health care providers, government agencies, and insurance companies.

I agree. “Choice” is a luxury. Being reminded of it is good, and therefore I like this caption, but a lol it is not.
Does UNICEF or somebody need to be collecting for little tiny Kevlar vests and helmets?
Perhaps the child is the vest.
Yes, the body would certainly slow a bullet. Perhaps it wouldn’t stop it, but it would likely increase the mother’s chances for survival.
Sadly, googling “using your baby as body armor” only returns web pages for law enforcement, so I can’t back up this theory with actual facts.
Is that a siren outside my window…?
…and so we never heard from Observer again. Alas. :/
“human shield”
argh
Reminds me of the mom who showed up for duty here in the US with her kids in tow. (linky)
I remember that. Dad is overseas, no parents or grandparents are around (or alive), and her choice is to either take her kids to deployment or take them to the stockade.
And people laugh at *her*, and not the Army that has no common sense.
The majority of people round the world who suffer starvation, death, rape and displacement ( a lot due to war) are women and children.
Yet its the men doing most of the fighting.
Still, I found this pic funny. LOL shes looks so determined. And the baby’s little pink feet are cute.
She looks tough as nails, doesn’t she? Africa’s version of Linda Hamilton in Terminator II. My take on this one: [link]
Random: Is that a baby bottle or sippy-cup nestled in her left arm with the spare magazine?
Looks like it, ’cause I don’t think that caliber comes in pink.
Lol — but you CAN get a metallic pink Taser. [link]
I think Barbie needs one of those the next time she and Ken break up. Tazer Barbie-she’s hot in a whole ‘nother way.
Have you seen the Hello Kitty .45? [link]
Actually, to her credit that is THE magazine, the rifle isn’t loaded (assuming there isn’t a round in the chamber).
You know, the more I look at her expression and how she’s dressed, the more I think this [link] is what’s actually going on there.
*Snort*
Hahaha, nice one diss!
Oh, the number of times I’ve forgotten my Mt. Dew or my lunch at home. If only I had a wife like his….
Yeh, but war is so kewl, you know.
Where is this? I’m hoping it’s someone arming and teaching the Sudanese Christian population how to fight back against those radical Islamic racist killers who are torturing and killing them. But, that would be too good to be true.
Egad. That is one rough picture. That’s a tough childhood.
Yeah, our streets are overrun with violence these days and mothers have to be constantly on the look out for gun imagery.
Link.
I can has Photoshops?
We all wish it were, but it’s not. Sadly, in many parts of Africa that kid would likely be in somebody’s army or militia by the age of eight, shooting and killing people just like his mom had to do.
The AK47 and the AR15 changed the face of combat troops forever
Interesting story:
~
WESTFIELD, Mass. (AP) — With an instructor watching, an 8-year-old boy at a gun fair aimed an Uzi at a pumpkin and pulled the trigger as his dad reached for a camera.
~
It was his first time shooting a fully automatic machine gun, and the recoil of the weapon was too much for him. He lost control and fatally shot himself in the head.
~
Now gun safety experts — and some gun enthusiasts at the club where the shooting happened — are wondering why such a young child was allowed to fire a weapon used in war. Local, state and federal authorities are also investigating whether everyone involved had proper licenses or if anyone committed a criminal act.
While that would probably be difficult with a fullsize Uzi, the one in question was the mini-Uzi, making it possible. Tragic.
Holy shnikies. That’s plain retarded.
why the hell would you even let your kid TOUCH one of those things let alone fire it??? His parents should be sent to jail for STUPIDITY… grabbing a camera instead of grabbing the gun away from your kid. An 8 year old, handling an uzi. Comeon, tell me you didnt see that coming. What idiots. This further enforces my belief that people should have to take an IQ test before breeding.
That WAS the IQ test. Tough on the poor child though.
I agree, but on average, intelligent people are to smart to breed (or are smart enough to use contraception), while unintelligent, stupid people breed for entertainment. (without contraception)
On average, people who for whatever reason choose not to have children assume they’re smarter than the rest of us, while in reality they’re just being annoying twats.
Both are true. Dissimilitude, you are awesome.
And I appreciate it. I had a girl ask me the other day why I would want to be a surgeon, because all I would do is prolong life, and then went on to talk about some conference she went to where they were pushing non-procreation as a lifestyle. I went off on her a little bit-I felt kinda bad, but at the same time, I mean seriously…
Did you give her a “sympathetic” look and tell her, “You know, I’m really, genuinely sorry that your mother didn’t feel the same way…”? (Random: thanks for being a surgeon! That’s got to be a tough job and very necesary.)
Nah, she’s a sweet girl. But I’d imagine I would have exchanged words w/the crazy folk at the conference.
As for my chosen career path, I decided that I had to have a jobe where I could help people and make money, while still maintaining my balls, spine, and soul, so “lawyer” was out. Kinda narrowed down the choices. Besides, I love biology-have since Freshman year in high school.
Good choice….I’m a lawyer, and having chosen an area and firm where I feel like I can maintain my soul, I don’t make very good money.
Well, thank you for not being a spineless or soulless attorney. I’d be too interested in making sure the innocent went free and the guilty went to jail to be a successful prosecutor or defender.
Lol, I do very,very little criminal work…one of the partners takes on some federal CJA work (that’s like overflow work from the public defenders’ office ) and I help out with that a little. I’ve seen exactly ONE defendant that I’d categorize as “innocent” over that time. I think its important for all of us, though, to work to ensure that the guilty ones are treated fairly and constitutionally. (Which, generally, means things like making sure the government can back up its reasons for, say, searching an automobile, or making sure sentencing is done fairly…) Most of what I do is in the labor area.
Yeah…I’m not sure I could labor, either. I tend to side with management in a lot of those things. Not always-I am a wage-slave, after all, and there are instances like the writer’s strike where it would have been easy for studios to work out something to ensure the talent got paid.
Like everything else, it’s something of a balancing act…one thing I have come to appreciate is that for employees, it’s a significant advantage to have a contract you can hold the employer to and somebody on your side. We don’;t really handle individual cases (for a variety of reasons) but at least 4 or 5 times a week I get a sad call from somebody who got fired because of a personality conflict with a boss, or so the boss could give their job to a friend, or whatever, and they really have NO recourse. About half of what I do, I’d estimate, is defending unions in cases where somebody got fired for good cause and then when they (reasonably enough) didn’t get their job back, they sue the company and the union. (News flash: If you got fired because you were watching porn in the control room while the assembly line backs up and goes to hell, you are not getting your job back! That’s a hypothetical example, not a real case…but you get the idea.) I view most of what I do (whether it’s labor, criminal, whatever) as attempting to hold all the parties in the arrangement to what they agreed to in the first place (e.g., you contracted to settle matters like this through arbitration, the fact that you disagree with the outcome doesn’t mean you don’t have to comply).
I always love the snobbery of people claiming their lifestyle of childfree is inherently more intelligent. Then I can’t help but agree that it would have been a more intelligent choice for their parents to have been childfree…
dissimilitude said something similar earlier. I can’t help but agree.
Well, wurm, my choice on remaining childless was not to hand on my accursed genes… is that snobbery, or good sense?
@Unc: You’re not chastising anyone for choosing to reproduce, so it’s a non-issue in your case.
Also @ Unc: What rho said, and also that I think in situations where people have significant genetic issues (Huntington’s, stuff like that) it’s a smart choice. I know at least one person who dealt with that issue by using a sperm donor so as not
to pass on their problem; others adopt, others choose to remain childless, and unless they’re ALSO harassing or demeaning people who choose to have kids, I got no problem with them (or with people who just decide they don’t personall want to have kids for whatever reason. It’s a very personal decision).
Depends on what you class as ‘harassing’ and ‘demeaning’…
If I go out for a meal, I expect people who chose to breed to have their simian visaged offspring under some semblance of control. I don’t want to hear them, I don’t want them visiting my table… Same when
I’m on a plane, at a cinema, or I’ve been forced to one of my rare visits to curch.
Nothing brings out the King Herod in me more than rowdy kids…
Well, we’re on the same page there….
When I was 8-9ish, my parents and I were in a restaurant with another family. A young mother was at the next table having a terrible time trying to manage her screaming infant. My mother went over to the other table and offered to “babysit” so the people could enjoy their meal. My mom has a way with kids, and it wasn’t three minutes before that baby was fast asleep.
You can’t even offer to do that these days, let alone correct someone else’s child, especially if the mother or father isn’t making any attempt to shut up the tyke.
To step away from the “on average”-grumpiness here …
I find it most interesting that people think they have a right to have an opinion on choices like having/not having children. (Though I can see it as reasonable to have opinions about bad parents, like those with that kid and the uzi.)
.
At any rate my childlessness is all about my own issues with myself, and certainly does not make me better than anyone who feels up to the challenge of childbirth, -raising, etc.. (And I’ve not met anyone childless who truly thinks like that – they may use it as a defense mechanism now and then though.)
And I absolutely respect that as your individual choice, Danbala!
I don’t recall you ever making comments about “stupid breeders” or anything, so my annoyance is most definitely not directed at you…
Oh I had a couple of posts in that lol with Joe Biden at the children zoo. I like kids though – they are highly entertaining – so if I go for the “breeding” gags it’s purely for the moment’s comedy value. ;p
Is the uzi kid you speak of the one from Germany? Is that what he was packing? Goodness gracious.
Yeah, I don’t have a kid yet cuz I’m having a hard enough time keeping track of myself. But, working and going to school full time will do that to you. But I want to have kids. I like kids. It’s always kind of a shock to people who know me, cuz I don’t suffer fools well. But kids are different-they’re supposed to act silly. It’s part of being a kid. I was a really silly kid. I just have to smile and shake my head when I find another hyperactive energy ball.
No, the kid that killed himself (and fortunately ONLY himself) with the Mini (or Micro?) Uzi was at a gun show in the US — it was one of those things where you can take a test fire of a fully automatic weapon; for whatever reason the kid’s dad and the person operating the booth thought the 8 year old would be able to handle the recoil on the damn thing, which given that there are 8 year olds all over the world using automatic weapons as child soldiers, I guess maybe it’s possible, but apparently it had a lot more kick than he was expecting. Now, if you hand a small person, say, a shotgun and the kick is too much, it’s pretty much just going to knock them on their ass, but with a short-barrelled fully automatic weapon, it kicked up on him while still firing and he shot himself in the head.
Oh, holy freakin’ crap…it should be noted that the child soldiers in questions use mostly AK’s, which have dramatically less climb, since they’re much bigger guns. That’s just ridiculous. That parent should definitely be charged with reckless endangerment and negligent homicide. Hell, I saw a guy at the range two weeks ago that would let his 10-year-old shoot his semi-auto with more than one round in the weapon at a time, just for that reason. If you decide your 8-year-old absolutely has to shoot the full auto (cuz who am I kidding, that woulda been sweet), you kneel behind him and help him hold it.
[link] to the Uzi website which shows the different models. The kid in Connecticut was shooting the micro…
(Which, yeah, I’m with you on it would be FUN! Wouldn’t let a little kid try it, though. My opinion, nobody under puberty at least needs to be firing anythig more than a little .22 rifle and that only under supervision.)
I started hunting when I was 9, but I passed a rigorous hunter’s safety course to be able to do so. I carried a .243 and did so with respect.
Ahhh, the common video game SMG. My father taught me how to shoot his pistols when I was 6, but again, never by myself, and always under strict supervision. He showed me his service revolver and told me never to touch a gun, and if I found one to come get him. Even now, 21 years later, I have never touched a single one of his weapons without his permission.
My Republican gun nut boyfriend wanted to teach me how to shoot. I fired his AK-47 and his even more gun nut cousin’s Uzi. I’m an adult woman who weighs 50kg/110lbs and I STILL almost fell over from the Uzi. You have to be stupid to give a small child one of those.
Nah, the one a little higher up in this thread – the 8-year old in Observer’s post. (If what I heard is correct, the guy in Germany had a revolver.)
.
I think I’d see a kid mostly as an Interesting Experiment, which makes me think I really shouldn’t have one. ;p
Lol! Well, they really ARE…I have to admit, it’s always been amazing to me that two (or more) kids with the exact same genetic background are entirely different individuals.
The guy in Germany had a couple different weapons. An AK and a large cal revolver, I think. Course, in my world, crazy guy pops off one round and someone pulls out their concealed weapon and blows his freakin’ head off and that’s the end of the event.
Robert, the trouble with your fantasy world is that the crazy guy doesn’t demonstrate bad aim as a result of being crazy.
I have a permit to carry, but the likelihood that I will be armed in such a situation is less than 1%.
In my fantasy, everyone’s always armed.
That must make bathing difficult…
lol-OK, exceptions could probably be made for bathing and other activities generally don’t w/out clothing.
LOL Link for Robert!!!

Awww…that’s a sweetheart, but I’m pretty sure that sucker’s too small to be legal in CA. Most of the really cool things are, though. Check this sucker out. Also not legal in CA…this state sucks.
I know one personally. I told her I was pregnant. She said, “oh no. What are you going to do about it?” Never mind that I was excited and happy about it. And obviously so. She’d have reacted that way if I were 35, 20, or my actually 35. Even if I were married to a man who was wonderfull and literally worth a million dollars. But, she thinks reproduction is stupid or something.
I can’t find the picture to link, but somewhere I have an image taken from Life magazine of a child soldier during Vietnam. Soldiers nicknamed him “El Tigre” after he killed a cadre of six Viet Cong women, including his school teacher and his mother. The boy was eight years old.
Small children, trained properly, make alarmingly good soldiers; I think it’s because they generally haven’t developed much empathy yet.
the dont question orders, and if young enough they develop better mental pathways so it’s all better muscle memory and such. it’s sad really.
I play paintball regularly in the summer, and some of the best players are 8-12 year olds decked out in expensive gear that mom and dad bought for them. They can hide behind damn near anything, they’re small and hard to hit, they move fast, and they are tireless.
Two words: ENDER’S GAME.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO TOOOOOOO SOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I wish it were photoshopped, but in all reality it most likely isn’t. (My final project for my Bachelors in anthropology is a proposal for a study into the efficacy of reintegration camps for former child combatants, more and more of whom girls lately.) Some are now raising children they had because they were raped on the front lines by officers or other military people.
Thats what I call body armor.
I don’t understand her shoes. I just don’t get it.
Flip Flops. Very cheap, easily accessible and replaceable. Seem to wear them a lot in Africa…
flip-flops, the shoe of choice — just check out any high school, even in northern NorthAm in the dead of winter — ever heard of kitchen fires?
Flip-flops are the best. Shoe of choice indeed.
A really need to give a blow job.
… No, I don’t want to know…
I do..
Is today The Steve’s turn to be stalked by a sock? *Yawn* Boring sock, too.
Yeah I mean, if he can’t finish that story.. what’s the point? Jeesh.
Agreed, I want to know if it has a ‘happy ending’!
I’m trying to figure out who The Steve might have pissed off.
I’m trying to figure out how you type-o an “A” instead of an “I”
They’re on opposite sides of the keyboard, in completely different finger locations for cryin’ out loud!
Maybe it’s phonetic typing. (?)
Probably the same way I occasionally type a “b” instead of a “p” (or vice versa). If your brain says they’re the same, who are your fingers to argue, huh?
I’m proud of you! You almost managed to string together a single coherent sentence.
This isn’t funny.
That’s kinda sad. If that gun went off near that baby, there’s no chance of it hearing well.
The magazine is in her hand….
That’s simultaneously bad-ass and way sad.
Well.. the thing is that it is prolly not her own child; they kidnap children and use them as living shields.. anyone would think twice before shooting at an infant.
Are we sure this is even a female?
Does anyone know where that image is from? Or when it was taken? There’s a real story behing these Lulz that I’d like to know more about
this looks shooped
YA!!GIRL POWER
WHOOT WHOOT!
This chick is badass, like a black Sarah Connor!
This picture shows a typical occurrence in Afrika, especially in unstable regions of civil war, such as Darfur. Since in many armies it is a systematic tactic to torture civilians and commit organized rapes, many mothers make a logical decision: When they carry a weapon they can protect themsevles and their children. So they join the army.
It looks like she’s getting punched in the face.
If only all mothers in the world had the option of carrying around that safety equipment.
this is actually sad, yeah comments funny, the reality of it is heart breaking
