How does the World view America these days?

[Rubin Farr]

but hey, pork!

[LimpyLoo]

Like I have said over and over...

 

...we need to get to a place where someone who says "because my faith tells me" is laughed out of the room.

[Rubin Farr]

This is beyond fucked up. Two men pissed on a Mexican homeless man and beat him with a pole bc one thought "Trump was right" that's the condensed version.

I quite liked the trump speech where was actually foaming at the mouth a bit.

 

 

Seriously feel for you lot in the USA. I mean we have selfish fucks leading us, which is bad enough, but trump is clearly insane

[Silent Member]

I have to say, idiocracy was pretty spot on, to my disappointment. I guess I have too much faith in people.

argh

[Candiru]

Trump's trolling has been top notch in my opinion. Even if he means half the shit he says, he's making plenty of other politicians look less respectable by saying it.

On a slightly more positive note: two americans helped to stop a tragedy from happening when an individual had intentions to kill some people on a high speed train with a kalashnikov, amongst other things. Supposedly with terrorist intentions. Thanks to the Americans (one or both of them being marines - various sources state different things) the individual was overrun and put in control.

 

Interesting side note: the americans weren't armed. Apparently it's possible to solve situations like these without guns. I repeat, without using a gun. And yes, that also counts for Americans. My faith in Americans has been restored. They actually are able to prevent tragedies from happening without any guns.

 

Nobody died, and the armed individual has been put into custody.

(token brit hides & helps at the end, just kiddin)

 

genuinely heroic stuff, pretty amazing otherwise it would of been another completely different, tragically fucked up headline

 

worryingly the shooter is from morocco as that know to be a more moderate country also a fantastic place have being there firsthand, but yeah realise its just another zombie idiot

Two men arrested in Boston at the Pokemon World Championships with "a 12-gauge shotgun, an AR-15 rifle, several hundred rounds of ammunition, and a hunting knife" in their car, after making violent threats on social media. I can't imagine the number of dead children had they attacked the convention area, if that was their intention. Truly sick.

Edit: they were both invited players who were dumb enough to post another shot of their car with two rifles laid across the trunk online. There's no way this would not have ended badly :(

 

 

Oh yeah, some people are yelling "white power" at Trump's campaign stops. Classy, America.

[lala]

All that ammo and no charizard

[KovalainenFanBoy]

[LimpyLoo]

Children - "why do you hate us so, Azatoth? Daddy says it's because you are small in the pants, what does that mean? You can't find a mommy to love you?"

[azatoth]

Must be the only children there, the rest were 30+ neckbeards.

[delet...]

So parents accompanying the minors then azatoth. The first thing I thought when I heard about the headline was thank god nothing happened cause there would be a lot of children there. They like this kind of shit, somehow pokemon is still a thing for that age group, and none were massacred, great.

[cwmbrancity]

they will all be massacred in the secret underground Trump soul eater's temple

Saw on the news that NYPD officers were checking people's bags before boarding the subway. Da fuc.

Must be a knee-jerk reaction to that recent thwarted gunman attack on that train in France. Haven't been to NYC since March 2003, but this oh-no-terrorist-attack-everybody-act-scared-and-accept-increased-security bullshit is getting old.

[usagi]

^ there's never been a better time to suicide by cop if you were so inclined. just look funny on a train.

[ambermonk]

If I'm not mistaken, it was Ben Franklin who quoth, "Those who are willing to sacrifice a little liberty to gain a little security deserve neither and will lose both."

Ironic, really.
