My HS had green mountain for a large 1 dollar. Drank coffee everyday there trough sophomore year, started driving junior year and that gave me time to make my own and bring a travel mug.

k9870 03-19-2011 07:28 PM

So apparently were gonna bomb libya. But what then? The rebels already got creamed, and are pretty much just a different group of bad guys, you know calling for sharia law and taking british soldiers hostage and that crap. Oh well maybe a bomb will finally hit quadaffi.

While I don't disagree with you on this, I'm just curious...why do you feel this way about Libya, but NOT North Korea? (remember that other topic where you thought we needed to go in and take out the Kims?)

Also, anyone notice that France's Rafales are being used for the airstrikes? It's about time they finally got some use out of those damned things.

i hope we fuck their shit up

and S&W:
i like the sig, its from evan wright's generation kill, that was a good book.

k9870 03-19-2011 08:43 PM

I want korea reunited under a southern korea style democracy. I think it could work. In libya, i see no hope. Quadaffi doesnt exactly have nukes either.

What im wondering, is okay, the UN bombs some stuff. What next? Do they even have along term plan?

On an unrelated note, gun shop madness:

Go in cabelas gun library. Guy and his wife had won a gun in a raffle and instantly go there to sell it. the guy sees a M&P-1522 pistol and goes "you sell uzis, how do you get away with that!" Then he says "whats the point of these people can actually get a licence to own one!"

The clerk tries to stay silent, an older gentleman. The customer was tallking in a raised voice the whole time like he wanted everyone to hear him. Then he sells the gun and goes "how much does a glock 9 cost!" The clerk said he doesn;t know off the top of his head but there are some in the gun counter (two separate rooms, gun library is more antiques/oddities) and the guy walks out the door saying "thats unnaceptable he works in a gun store and cant tell me what a glock 9 costs!" he then went to the gun counter, picked up a display rifle, and muzzle sweeped a few people, then aimed it and made a few bang noises. Im sure everyone was glad to see this douche leave.

I wouldn't go so far as to paint the rebels the same as Qaddafi (it isn't as if they were intentionally trying to kidnap the Brits who more or less showed up unannounced when the rebellion had just broken out). As for claiming that they are all Islamists, that's pretty much how Qaddafi has been trying to characterize them, with no real evidence that it is a widespread sentiment.

Perhaps what's most interesting so far about this operation is probably how cynically people (on the internet at least) have been responding to it (compared to Iraq or Kosovo)

k9870 03-20-2011 12:24 PM

I think its weird we wait to start bombing after the rebels have already been creamed. Would of been useful before they'd been stomped on, right now were just breaking stuff and thats about it.

It won't. Take my word for it. And the words of people who have thought about the North Korean nuke issue for years now. As much as I would love to see the Kims gone and Korea re-united as a democracy, it just isn't possible, sadly.

Here, you have legitimate points. Personally, I see this as similar to the early stages in Afghanistan (when we helped the Northern Alliance kick out the Taliban).

I am not sure if Qaddafi and his supporters would be able to mount the kind of insurgency that the Taliban have been able to sustain since losing Kabul, but it is a possibility and I am very concerned about the endgame in Libya for this reason.

I'd worry less about Islamism and more about the tribalism of Libyan society (which is the same problem that Iraq has always had). No ideology - whether democracy or Islamism - is going to improve Libya's cohesion as a nation-state if so many Libyans regard their tribal bonds as more important than the nation.

While I don't speak for everyone, I think that many Americans are very cynical about trying to change regimes in the Middle East after what has happened in Iraq. While I think it's too pessimistic to say that the Islamic world will never be able to become more democratic, I do think many Americans (myself included) are cynical that it can ever be done through military intervention and regime change alone.

I hate him as a person, too. I don't know him, but he sounds like the kinda dude I would have hated in high school.

Here are the things that define a Wes Anderson movie:

* It's deadpan humor.

* It's cast has either Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Anjelica Hudson, or all three of them.

* A Rolling Stones song is featured on the soundtrack.

I have a question for everyone: What would you do if you had infinite resources (as in you could do whatever the hell you wanted without having to worry about money)



I would take over a small country with my own private army, probably in Africa, and attempt to make it extremely productive in terms of agriculture so that many other countries would rely on my country for food, like with Rhodesia. However, since I would not be pissing off Britain by creating such a country (like Rhodesia did), I would not be crippled by embargoes. Because of this I would, if I end up being under constant attack, I would be able to procure the means necessary to defend myself. I would establish a Foreign Legion type system so that people would show up from all over the world for a second chance in exchange for military service. Every citizen would be required to take basic firearms training/ safety classes and everyone would be given something along the lines of a shotgun or carbine with ammo for defense

Take a pork chop and then wrap the bacon on it.Then grill the whole thing.
Serve with potatoes. Probably shouldn't do this if you're Jewish.

I spent all day scaring the shit out of people. This is due to my large size and tendency to (most of the time accidentally) sneak up on people. Their reaction is like when in a slasher flick someone turns around and it is revealed that the killer was right behind them

It's extremely easy to act tough on an internet forum. And here to back me up is David Bowie:

That may be so, but if your statement is refering to my earlier post it is irrelevent. Being able to sneak up on people is not a "internet tough guy" boast, it is a testiment to how unaware most people are to their surroundings, how easy it is to sneak up on them, and how I am unusually quiet for a person my size.

Therefore, your argument is invalid because you have no argument

k9870 03-24-2011 04:57 PM

Yeah smith's not saying hes some uber ninja, hes saying some people are really oblivious to whats around them. Besides, a dude dressing as a wizard is lame, and whats with the cup and saucer grip? Obvious sighn of lack of gun training.
