define real criminal
yeah see … that’s my point. in real life, bad guys get away with shit all the time. wall street? not going to go to jail. so its always time to cheer when a REAL criminal, which osama is, gets punished for it. because that’s the sort of thing that only happens in movies.
The same level of anarchy that would allow those fatcats who ruined the economy to face severe “justice” is the same level of anarchy that would create mass violence, rape and theft. Pity…
heh I was hoping to bait someone out into posting about a revolution (something which comes up a lot in these USA threads) to overthrow the corporate fat cats and their corrupt politician friends in america, because you are absolutely right. when the poor stupid people rise up against the rich people, they put a new dictator in power that makes lives even worse for the poor stupid people. all that changes is that the uneven balance of power is more transparent, and that the new regime can kill you much more easily if you complain.
case study: see every retarded revolution in south america, n korea, china, cambodia, and so on. i got to hear firsthand from my parents and grandparents about the cultural revolution. good job mao, you kicked out the white devils, but fucked up your country even more. so you really can’t win. so just take what you can. in america, the best option is to become filthy rich yourself.
TLDR: AMERICAN FUCK YEAH! 0 US CASUALTIES! COUNTER TERRORISTS WIN! PERFECT! MMMMMMMMMMMMONSTER KILL!
(Ugh. Maybe I should just go to bed if this is what’s going to be on the news all night.)
I suppose you’ve a decent enough point that such a victory over “bad guys” is rare, fishjie. Still, it rings utterly hollow, especially given that the “real” “bad guys”–I really wish I abused quotation marks less–are still around in both terms of foreign terrorism and domestic avarice.
Maybe that’s why the “USA!” chanting seems so irksome and insipid to me: It seems like a celebration of the latter that people so willingly ignore.
…Not sure how to interpret this comment. Are you just trying to state how ironic my current avatar is given Akainu’s “Absolute Justice”? Or something else?
Oh, I’m aware of this–I’m well aware that dolphins, orcas and chimps are, like humans, bastards who can’t be trusted.
You know me. If I get weirded out by something, it’s often some of the most socially “normal” of things (because a lot of the time, as in this instance, I find it inane even understanding “why”) with me being otherwise almost completely jaded.
That’s affirmative.
Hey! You’re at the back of the downer queue! No cutting in line!
A little of that dirty ol’ redistribution of wealth would at least ensure that those fat cats soak up a little less of what there is to go around.
Beach balls for freedom.
Osama Bin Laden… is dead.
Tekken 5 opening music
That’s probably the one thing that WOULD get me to run down the streets chanting “USA! USA! USA!”, but as much as I hate to admit, I pretty much agree 100% with fishjie.
I can’t really support a revolution, because as was mentioned, the vast majority of “revolutions” in history have simply replaced one tyrannical asshole regime with another tyrannical asshole regime that is just as bad if not worse.
So taking that into consideration, I actually feel like I can take some small consolation that at least one major bad guy got what he deserved.
However…I’m still fairly certain Bin Laden would have died eventually anyway, so the fact his death was hastened by a few years, done by a bullet to the brain rather than kidney failure means…I guess…America wins?
They still havent found who killed Pac & Biggie
I think Obama saw Fast 5 and called the Rock instead.
+1 for public hanging/guillotine of wall street and corporate crooks.

Hitler would probably go SA first, to make up for the difference in power, what with him being dead for a while longer.
Actually the key is to convince the government/your bankroll there is no such thing as moral hazard. Doesn’t necessary need to be a banker.
Once you have that you are at free will to do as you please. You’re essentially playing with house money at that time.
Now that’s #winning.
There is nothing better in the world than gambling with someone’s else money. You winning = you win. You losing = they losing.
C’mon, BO, you know the drill: POIDH.
hahahahahaha
funny to think of someone describing it as “kind of gay”
why’d they bury the body already?
i dunno man. dude was on dialysis…we sure he didn’t die years ago of natural causes and now they’re giving us BS fake pictures and then disposing of the evidence?
Well…if you’re gonna try to run for re-election, you gotta try SOMETHING to get that tanking approval rating up. Just saying.
