Posted in: Armed gangs free Muslim militants in Egypt See in context

I saw on youtube a supposed "shot protester" video as recorded by protesters. The way the guy fell after supposedly being shot from what sounded like a high powered rifle is total ass at best. he folded over nicely and slumped to the turf when really he would have been blown backward of his feet in a mist of blood. Looks like the Egyptian protesters are trying their hand at Pallywood (Fake Palestinian vids).

I deleted FB recently. Felt lonely and isolated at first but then felt freedom. I don't want people who I do not regularly see in person knowing anything about me. You meet some guy in a bar and he sends a friend request. Gets all upset at you if you don't add him in. Wont drink with you at the bar next time. I got sick of all the privacy issues too.

Posted in: What is one habit that your significant other does or has that you can't stand but put up with anyway? See in context

what annoys me the most is the inability to freely express the important things in her life such as

"Job interview? oh yes. I got the new job and a huge salary increase" or "Doctor? He said I wouldn't die. don't worry"

vs the wonderful ability to express the most inane things in her life i.e

"Another customer told me I look like Koyuki" or "That gaijin sent a photo of his rod to my friends phone while us gals were all out having dinner"

Oh well. Seeing as she looks like Koyuki, and always puts out, and gets everything else spot on, I cannot complain.

One would imagine the the father needed to scare his rebellious daughter straight. He did the right thing. Where does a 17 year old School girl get money for drugs? by turning tricks or hostessing. The girl was probably in a world of hurt. He father reached out instead of banishing her.

He told her that her older brother had been in a car accident and said that her mother had sent him to pick her up.

Taking a chance on whether or not she had an older brother? Inside knowledge? Is the man actually the father? No details forthcoming....

Posted in: Suicides can run up a posthumous bundle See in context

I think that someone who has chosen suicide obviously is far and beyond feeling anything for what they will leave behind for others. When you are that far gone......I mean if you felt anything any more, you would surely find a reason to live beyond cold hard cash which is often the cause of many suicides.

Dear Kids, There is no Santa. Those presents are from your parents. Sincerely, Wikileaks.

I agree. Telling kids that there is a Santa is willing them into deception and lies....the very cover ups and deceptions that wikileaks fights against.

Its a shame that I cannot get coke in a glass bottle any more. For me nothing beats coke from a glass bottle during the summer when you need a cold non alcoholic beverage.

“It is truly regrettable that a police officer should commit an act like this. I would like to apologize to the victim

so far he has denied the allegations and has yet to face the judicial system but has already been abandoned and passed off as guilty.

Posted in: Retailer Don Quijote pulls Nazi outfit after complaint See in context

What Don Quixote sold represented the official costume of that time

Its true. I could wear it and claim to be a double agent at a costume party or even go as the widely respected Erwin Rommel The desert Fox who was respected as humane.

His troop was never accused of any war crime. POWs captured in his Africa campaign were treated humanely. He also ignored orders to kill captured Jewish soldiers and civilians.

bobbafett - Theres no law that says you can't wear one, but if you really want to go to a party and present yourself as a major a**hole, be prepared for a beatdown. You would certainly deserve one.

I don't know or associate with anyone that would administer a beat down on anyone for a costume party choice. If people are that hate filled and sensitive perhaps they should be labelled extremists?

For example if someone dressed up as a Spanish conquistador, I am sure you would have no issue with that. How about as a member of the British army that killed its way across the globe to form the British empire? How about as a KGB officer or Stalin himself? Oh no, The rest of the world moved on. Just a handful of Jews want to keep waving history around and get all riled up over simple things such as costumes.

bobbafett: You might feel different if your parents, brothers / sisters or grandparents were tortured and gassed in Nazi concentration camps. In such a case, I don't think you would find the costume so amusing, even at a costume party

Of course some of my relatives fought and lived or died in WW2 but I was not bought up to hold a grudge or keep hatred in my heart. What does a Jewish group in the U.S have to do with what people choose to wear to a costume party? If they say I cannot wear it, it sounds like Nazi Germany to me.

Who cares. A Nazi uniform could be seen as a fun costume. Its not like people are buying them and wearing them in anti Semite rallies across Japan. Lighten up already. People dress up as all kinds of things at costume parties. If I saw a guy dressed as an SS Nazi or Hitler at a costume party, I would take the joke instead of feeling all offended.
