Black people are awesome.

The couple in front are really trying too hard. I think, the more a person tries to be badass, the more pansy they seem to be.

The chick in back, however, now that’s fucking gold.

i didn’t notice that woman with the pink purse until i read the comments. then i lost it.

i’m actually still laughing, fifteen minutes later.

fuck, i love her.

@Drewlicious
I’ve always found most of them annoying. Not all of course. There’s some blacks that act like human beings that are quite pleasurable to be around.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Does MCS not host anymore? I tried to post this on my blog but it did not work

O wait, never mind. Something with when I copied the URL, it changed the space into some codes, so i had to change it. Theres the problem if any of you were wondering, or maybe I’m just dumb.

@Drewlicious: best comment ever. i agree, and i want so desperately for them to think i am cool too.

I am the woman with the pink purse.

Oh, yeah? Then what’s your name, pink purse lady?

See kids, black folks can be racist too.

I disagree that “there is someone ruining it for you.” I think the bystander is totally making these wack-ass people way cooler.

AlecDalek, i cannot wait to read your explanation for how this is racist in any way.

Is that all cops do then, shoot people?

Well no, cops also bring the dogs. And the bees. And the dogs with bees in their mouths. So that when they bark, they shoot bees at you.

its against the law in the US to be a vigilante. i would like to hear from people as to whether a gun would have saved them in a certain situation without legal ramifications.

Snow: Of course it would have. Just ask Bernhard Goetz.

Oh wait.

Snow,
Alive and in jail vs. dead and law-abiding: your thoughts?

While I see the value of allowing citizens to carry concealed handguns as a deterrent against crime, I wouldn’t want one myself. The problem is if you were to shoot a criminal that was victimizing you, you’d have Al Sharpton calling you a racist.

ok legba what if you shoot someone who had honorable interntions? another thing is you americans have so little faith in your justice system that you carry around a gun. i know its your constitutional right but thats so far outdated. and legba if you are in jail you may as well be dead. give me liberty or give me death.

The gun part of the costitution is so the USAders can dislodge incompetent governments. Notice how they all walk around with guns and none of them do shit to impeach Bush after sending their kids to war (etc). Use your damn guns for the right things damnit, or I’ll lose whatever faith I have left in your so called democratic country.

So you want us to practice anarchy to prove democracy?

No, RSI. Korinthian is recommending we use force to exercise another constitutional right laid down by our very DECLARATION of Independence…

“…That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

I think the problem is this: Our society sees Bush as a problem yes, but they just saw, “It won’t be a problem in 4/8 years.” The issue is that the majority of society sees the president as the power behind the government, and while this one can definitely be accused of abusing this, we also need to look at the other three branches.

That, and most Americans are too lazy to give a damn.

It’s not that we’re lazy, it’s just that there’s something on TV and we don’t have time to cook. Where’s the damn pizza boy?!!

Its true TrayShadix, the government in the U.S. has been able to operate without fear of repercussion from its own people. They have continued to slowly allow things to falter in their own favor, and it seems most Americans are unable to see just how bad its become.

In countries like France, and the rest of Europe, the people have all the power. The government lives in fear and steps lightly that at any point the people will revolt and overthrow the current power. Protesting in Europe actually works. So the system is actually set up to keep the people happy, money being spent where the people want, and not the government. though I know that might seem odd to most.

That does make sense, too bad the majority of Americans would balk at the idea that FRANCE of all places has it right.

“Alive and in jail vs. dead and law-abiding: your thoughts?”

It’s always better to take the moral high ground. The “two wrongs make a right” philosophy is the only reason there’s violent crime in the first place. If everyone put ethical conduct first and foremost there’s be little need for guns or cops.

You put papa legba’s name t oshame.

Also, Mr. Dooves: What the fuck are you talking about? Aren’t you Canadian? Canadians are totally apathetic about politics compared to Americans. As are most Europeans. Americans spend a lot more time talking politics than people in most other countries. And hell, even the French are pretty apathetic about politics compared to, say, the Italians, and most of the Italians are still pretty damn unhappy about the government.

As for French having all kinds of super-duper control over the government I would say no. Yes, proportional election systems encourage multi-party legislatures, which reflects the will of the people a lot more. But that doesn’t matter because, compared to European countries France puts a lot more power in the person of the Executive. From my experience most people in France see their government as corrupt, nepotistic and Byzantine.

And don’t tell me about the occasional protest. Race riots were once common in the States (1991, late 70s, several in the 50s&60s, zoot suit riots, etc). And as for the 60s youth mass protests in France, that was nothing but trendy hippy bullshit copied directly from Americans.

Dooves, you bullshit and are blatantly factually wrong about literally everything you post about, and you’re so bad at it. You are like Cliff from Cheers.

Repost is repost.

back in the days when i was being VERY naughty- i used to carry a gun when i was making “deliverys”. there were three occasions when i was REALLY glad i was armed. talk about TENSE.

LOL

i still carry a gun when i travel. better to have it and not need it.

My father was killed by a gun that had been bought for protection.

Self-Defense: The Great Myth of America’s Gun Industry
http://www.consumerfed.org/pdfs/self_defense.pdf.

Guns have long been seen as tools of self-defense in the United States. But, contrary to gun industry hype, unintended consequences often happen when people buy guns for self-defense. Studies by public health professionals have repeatedly found that having a gun around for any reason increases the likelihood that a family member—as opposed to a criminal—will be injured or killed with a gun. A 1997 American Journal of Public Health study showed that family members that had a history of buying a handgun from a licensed dealer were twice as likely to die in a suicide or homicide as were persons similarly situated who had no such family history of gun purchase. This increased risk persisted for more than five years after the handgun was purchased.

Other studies have looked specifically at the more narrow question of keeping guns in the home for self-defense. One, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, found that having a gun in the home made it nearly three times more likely that someone in the family will be killed. This risk is particularly high for women, who are more likely to be killed by a spouse, intimate acquaintance, or close relative. An Archives of Internal Medicine study found that, with one or more guns in the home, the risk of suicide among women increased nearly five times and the risk of homicide increased more than three times.

These and other studies have documented repeatedly the enhanced risk that comes from bringing a gun into the home. Even the gun press admits the risk in unguarded moments. Describing the demise of so-called “lintel guns,” firearms hung over the door ready for immediate action in frontier times, Shooting Sports Retailer noted:

“Today, guns in a home used for self protection are not hung over the door but are more likely in a desk drawer or beside the bed in a night stand. When a child is hurt in a firearm accident it is often the self defense gun that was found, played with, and ultimately fired by the youngster.”

But how often do people use guns successfully to protect themselves from criminal acts? Does it justify the deaths and damage that comes with guns? Apparently not. Most studies have found that guns play a relatively minor role in preventing crime but a major role in facilitating it. For example, the US Department of Justice study found that, on the average, between 1987 and 1992 only one percent of actual or attempted victims of violent crime, or about 62,000 people, attempted to defend themselves with a firearm. On the other hand, criminals armed with handguns committed a record 931,000 violent crimes in 1992. Data from the FBI’s Crime in the United States reveals that for every time in 1998 that a civilian used a handgun to kill in self-defense, 50 people lost their lives in handgun homicides alone.

One advocate of the value of handguns for self-defense is Gary Kleck, professor of criminology at Florida State University in Tallahassee. Kleck and his colleague Mark Gertz claim their survey research indicates that civilians use guns in self-defense up to 2.5 million times a year. Naturally enough, the NRA and the gun industry have widely cited Kleck’s work as proof of the value of owning a gun. But Dr. David Hemenway, a professor at Harvard’s School of Public Health, dissected the work of Kleck and Gertz in The Journal of Criminal Law & Criminology, concluding that their survey contained ”a huge overestimation bias” and that their estimate is “highly exaggerated.” Hemenway applied Kleckand Gertz’s methodology to a 1994 ABC News/Washington Post survey in which people were asked if they had ever seen an alien spacecraft or come into direct contact with a space alien. He demonstrated that, by the application of Kleck and Gertz’s methodology, one would conclude that almost 20 million Americans have seen a spacecraft from another planet and more than a million have actually met space aliens.

Isn’t that trawling?

Lol trawling, quit with the green peace stuff.

lolz

Mackerel

Internet trolls have no idea the damage they can cause to some people’s psychology. I know some people who are so perilous that someone getting lulz one day may end in their suicide.

Kids, trolling is not cool. Its dangerous. Stop trolling.

trolling is also a term for that kind of fishing. do you follow the joke? trolls…

great. i explained it.

@dyna-mole
nope, that’s still trawling.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/trolling

learn to use you internet, bitch

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(angling)

whoops

Hey guys…I have this site you should try. It’s called google. It’s awesome.

why url busted?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(angling)

copy and paste whole url

its even got the picture above in it

BUTTfoor, both those links worked for me

Not to be Captain Pedantic, but… that boat isn’t trawling… It’s rod fishing…

In which case: Phail troll pic is PHAIL…

But I could wrong…

@dyna

The links work but they go to the wrong place.

Copy and paste the whole url and its on actual trolling and features the picture above minus the big block text.

+10 points for calling fatty fat fat fat a bitch btw.

Phyreblade. You could be, and are wrong. Trolling is trailing a baited line behind a boat. see my link. it ’s to a dictionary that will tell you what I just got done telling you. So, i guess you can phuck yerself.

I like to think that the fish are the trolls, and the boat is just trying to gtfo while making a request for the fish to stop trolling.

Trawl and troll are the same thing, just depends where you’re from. Like crayfish and crawdads.

I like this thread because its proof that nobody ever knows shit. They always look it up and then call other people stupid for not knowing it.

stop? but how could i ever get my mercury laden blue fin tuna sushi?

But…but…I like trolling…

OK, I looked up both of them…

That boat is indeed Trolling. But it is NOT Trawling.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28angling%29
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trawling

Trolling = Line fishing
Trawling = Net fishing

Trolling =/= Trawling

I always thought Trolling was the verb to describe someone who was being a Troll… Not Trolling…

Learn summat new e’ry day…

Phyreblade, can’t you say you’re wrong without being wrong again? i never said they were trawling. you did, and yet you said my pic failed because of it. i forgive you, cuz clearly you have some kind of impediment.

BUTTfoor, this site is my biggest inspiration for Google.

that’s a great picture, provided it’s candid

At some point, some military nut will point out that they are actually performing some legitimate maneuver.

For a minute there I thought that the guy in the middle had one really fucked up finger.

Ok, now cover your left eye and try to tell me how many terrorists you see on the bottom line.

I HAVE NEVAR SEEN THIS BEFORE

Maybe they’re just all doing the Thriller.

What is wrong with that guy’s finger? Or is it just fucked up looking because it was shopped. I can never tell if something is shopped because I haven’t seen a lot in my time.

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH HIS FINGER. ITS JUST THE BADGE ON HIS HELMET BEHIND MAKING IT LOOK ODD.

When gaining entry into a building, silence is an absolutle. Hand signals are a must, these guys are saying, someone just came on my face.

Oh. Well, I’m dumb.

DOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thx for sauce Marrock. :3

Nobody else thought this was funny, either?

My old man once said he’d never fly in any aircraft where the wings were going faster than the fuselage.

Actually they’re propelled by the screams of the crew and passengers.

They beat the air into submission…

Like a mechanical Chuck Norris.

Proof of Fail.

Hilarity Clinton is much uglier and she does not fly, therefore statement is false.

My old man always said, “If you’re not shit-scared when flying your bird, you’re damn well not flying it right.”

Then he died in a plane crash.

Awesome?

It’s probably worth noting here that I work on helicopter avionics and will be training as a pilot once the Navy pays for my degree.

I’ll most likely also be dying in a aircraft crash, due to flying like a complete badass.

Mi-28 Havoc

Well, I lol’d…

Ack is so correct.

Every time you return it is a crash-a very controlled crash. Remember auto-rotating in
UH-1H leaving ruts about 6″ deep in dry hard dirt.

DemolitionsGeek will make a crater out of American Enginuity, Fail, and badassery.

Best death.

Pauld; “My old man once said he’d never fly in any aircraft where the wings were going faster than the fuselage.”

Something along these lines occasionally comes up whenever you die in COD 4.

Kaze; It won’t be soo much Fail as much as “Well, crew, we’re out of HELLFIRE rockets SOOOOO I’m just gunna fly this bad boy dick-first int the target. Good thing is, nobody in this chopter is going to die alone!” (Starts playing “Battle Without Honor or Humanity” and kicks the throttle forward)

I love this plane.
Close air support at it’s best.
Well at least the way I take it.

AMERICA…fuck yeah!

If youre going to bold something, make sure its correct. : >

Has /k/ invaded MCS?

YAAAAAA…. OOOOOOOAAAAHHH… CRRYYYY SOOME MOOOOOOOOREE!!!

you see, this is what i’m talking about.

“AK-47, the very best there is. When you absolutely, positively, have to kill every single motherfucker in the room; accept no substitute” .. .?

bring me my GAU8, and we’ll talk.

I think every home in the country should be protected by one of these. Or, fourteen. Mounted on turrets. And attached to motion sensors. With cameras. And manual override, so you can play a few rounds of “Goop the Crackhead” when you’re bored at 3am.

AgZed brilliant- the end of burglaries and girl scout cookies.

1 order of friendly fire to go.

Fuckin’ BAD ASS. Loaded with depleted uranium rounds. They’ll burn right through armor, and spaul inside of a tank. Ricocheting pieces of molten uranium. What a way to go…

“I think we’ll take off and nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.” ..to be exact..

Indeed.

A good idea, except for the substantial dollar value attached to it.

It’s not like sending in infantry or motorized divisions is free, either. Nuke is arguably cheaper, and a lot faster, not to mention more reliable.

And please don’t start with the whole “Nukes are bad for innocent civilians/the environment/public image” nonsense. Sure, they are. Alright, we know this. It doesn’t mean they don’t do their job, which is to blow shit up.

I think someone has missed the continuing quote here. It’s been too long since I’ve seen this movie. I’m going to be very disappointed if no one has created a power loader by the time I die.

I believe it was DUST off and nuke the site from orbit. But I could be wrong.
too lazy to look it up though.

Hive Mind is correct. It is “Dust off.”

From the script:
RIPLEY (to Vasquez)
No good. How do we know it’ll effect their biochemistry? I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Win. Perhaps the most WIN ever crammed into a single paragraph ever portrayed on screen.

Epic Marine Win is Epic.

But…Africa is a continent…with multiple countries in it…

So…yeah…in comparison to countries…its going to be pretty freakin big…

Unless there is another point in here that I am missing.

I love it when people get the numbers wrong

http://www3.nationalgeographic.....tates.html

The US
Area
9,826,630 square kilometers

i call shenanigans. they forgot to add alaska to USA’s landmass.

Pointless, you could take any continent and start shoving large countries into it and say “ooh isn’t a continent far bigger than a country” ffs yet that’s why it’s given that name.

So its not just a big pile of shit… it’s a huge one!

Let’s send them some money and condoms!

Indeed. A correct perspective would be to compare Africa with other continents.

Though it doesn’t fare badly in that arena either. It is still one of the largest continents in the world, second only to Asia…

Pretty sure that the point is that most outsiders just see “Africa” as one big “place” anyways, so the point is to demonstrate that the notion of an African landscape is much more massive than most people can really envision.

@yawn

that’s the point right there.

You know what I love more than people who get statistics wrong?
Two people who get statistics wrong.

Sure, the US is 9,826,630 square kilometers, but Alaska is 1,717,854 square kilometers. And Hawaii, small as it is, 28,311 square miles.

The US as it is there, 8,080,465 square kilometers.

Yay for being a smart ass.

So? I don’t see ALASKA in there- another 3/5 the size of the continental US- and if we’re comparing CONTINENTS- what about MEXICO and CANADA, eh?

How many COUNTRIES are in Afrika? And how many aren’t third world, or at war?

I want to visit Egypt and see the animals- then fuck Afrika. I don’t care about the rest. LOL

This map is stupid.

@ storminator : You might somehow happen to know that “Africa” and “Europe” are continents instead of countries but that doesn’t make you a Smart American yet. So STFU.

hey unknown- fuckin’ DUH.
