Are bullet proof vests really for something other than bullets?

Showing your age here reg, you clearly the missed the memo about them being snazzy fashion accessories

If you think guns are really the reason police are being militarized, I have an acre of land on the moon I'd like to sell you.

We talking view of the Earth or what here?

 

[Lantern Venom]

....George Zimmerman is such a piece of ****. Like, wow.

Zimmerman should have been institutionalized years ago. He doesn't need social media and guns. He needs therapy and medication.

Well, guns are the reason. The police have been getting bigger and better guns from military surplus, because they're afraid Magneto will just suddenly appear in Bumble****, Iowa and start wrecking ****.

I find the language he is using to be very telling of his frame of mind when he killed Trayvon. Now instead of Martin being someone who ambushed and tried to kill him, he is simply someone who had the audacity to hit him after he followed him home in the dark and rain with a gun.

His embrace of racist symbology and culture is also very telling of someone who wanted the public to know that he was in no way a racist.

maybe the next jury he faces will know him much better than the last.

But guns can't hurt Magneto. This could be really bad!

 

[Primal Slayer]

I can't believe that I have friends who think this is a hoax and everyone is alive just staying in doors.

 

[Sawyer]

I think we all know our fair share of those kinds of dumbasses. I'm not even gonna sugarcoat it. Those people don't deserve my consideration. They're dumb.

 

[TheDreamMaster]

I can't believe that I have friends who think this is a hoax and everyone is alive just staying in doors.

Wha...why would anyone think this?

 

[Teelie]

Because they can't accept the truth that this kind of thing can and does happen.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Wha...why would anyone think this?

Because they saw some article on how it's a hoax and saw this

 

[Teelie]

And because it's obviously impossible to lie or fake a screenshot they immediately assume it is true.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Whoever posted it was just set in a different timezone, my twitter has been set to pacific time this entire time whereas I live in eastern time which is the same timezone as Virginia and that shows it being at 936 or whatever. Hopefully that will clear things up for them.

How convienent. Your "different timezones" theory just might make that crazy theory make sense.

Though I do wonder how many of the people who believe this is a hoax are also 9/11 Truthers.

The UK Labour party is about to elect one of these people as its leader.

 

[Teelie]

I wish I could understand how these people gain such a following as to get real power in government.

Any country's leader is an indication of the voting base. If you want intelligent people leading a country, you need intelligent people voting in it. Suffice it to say neither the USA or UK have really been putting standout education at the forefront of their concerns.

The LCD is getting lower and lower.

 

[chaseter]

As I said, you should have to pass an IQ test to be able to vote.

 

[Teelie]

It's a little more complicated than that but not by much. I think a lot of people have been misled and lied to which is normal when you deal with politicians. They will say, do or claim anything for more power. Unfortunately it usually involves preying on the fears and weaknesses of the population.

 

[chaseter]

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me countless more times, shame on me.

Getting off topic now, but what has happened to the Labour party has little to do with the education of the nation as a whole: rather, it is a matter of insurgency where a fringe candidate has stretched the base of the party into some undesirable directions. It is similar to the Tea Party, but for the far left.
