The "Even More Random Comments, Questions, and Thoughts" Thread [R]

Chelsea Football Club: Class at all levels. Well at least their manager is class. The ownership, players, and many of their supporters not so much...

 

Now some twat called Herman Ouseley goes puffing his chest and denigrating the "big bad Premier League Clubs."

I won't speak to Chelsea's case, where there is video evidence of Terry using racist language. However, I vehemently disagree that Liverpool FC "took up" for Suarez at the expense of racism. No, I'd argue that LFC didn't do enough to support Suarez.

Did he use a term that is considered "offensive" or "abusive" in England? Yes, although there is a great deal of irony in an imperialist nation dictating how a foreigner is to comport himself. However, the FA never investigated the matter of Evra using the term "Sudaca" to Suarez, a term which is not considered culturally acceptable anywhere on this Earth. One can only wonder why Evra went unpunished. More on that in a moment.

Of course, we all know what a ********ing sham this anti-racism campaign is. And let's not wonder any longer why Evra went unpunished for his Sudaca comment. He went unpunished because 1) He is black and therefore not held accountable for racism, and 2) the Kick it Out campaign narrowly defines racism as words/actions against black players. Both of these facts further point out what a sham the campaign is and serve to show that Herman Ouseley is a self-serving blowhard with no desire to actually eliminate racism.

Oh, and before Herman or any of his KiO minions try to sanction me, I am black, and I have experienced actual racism far worse than being called "black."

 

Well, Lord Ouseley isn't being entirely self serving here. Another little factoid about him is his directorship on the Manchester United Foundation. But yes, he is a tw*t.

 

Fcuking hell!

Not even 3 days after the killings here at the Portland, OR mall. My girlfriend works at a mall only a couple of miles away from the one where the shooting took place and was at work at the time of the shooting. So freaky hearing about it and for the few seconds that it took me to realize it was a different mall, I literally felt my entire body on fire. This "fad" of some random cokcsucker picking up a gun and killing innocent people, let alone children, is just beyond me.

WTF is wrong with people?!?!

 

It's all a little sick isn't it. Couple of months back I was outside a bank when the shooting started. Luckily only the robber got shot. It is getting to be a fad isn't it. "But when I shoot them at play station, they come back for the next round."

Shit.....And a bill to restrict assault weapons was successfully defeated this week.
"We need them for hunting?!"

Sorry, I'm a little fried right now. I know what guns can do.

 

Not again. That's so heart-wrenchingly sad.

 

I don't normally take a stance on gun control, but right now, I'm sick of this shit.

The kid had a glock and a sig sauer. No need for that shit - not for hunting, not for protection, not for anything.

All this bullshit talk about the right to bear arms being about personal safety, yet there are 20 elemtary school children dead today.

I want to throw darts at photos of Charlton Heston.

 

You and I both, mate!

 

But...you can't take away our second amendment right to shoot anybody.

 

If people want to be in a fucking militia so bad let them join the national guard...

 

'cos they may have to go somewhere were people will shoot back.

Watched Saturday night live, they didn't mention the shooting but started the show with a kids choir singing Silent Night. I picked up on it right away but a lot were puzzled.

Who remembers Simon & Garfunkel – 7 O'Clock News/Silent Night...... and Richard Speck?



Better google it.

 

You have a problem w/ the mother's 9mm's (Glock and Sig)? But make no mention of the Bushmaster AR-15?

I have no problem w/ the former, but the latter - blah.

Either way - this has nothing to do w/ gun control.

A mentally-ill person murdered over two-dozen people, twenty of them children. It's been a sad weekend throughout the country.

 

It has a lot to do with gun control and the ease by which some sick fcuk can have access to them. How would this nerd go about killing 30 people without a gun? With his light saber?

 

You're right. If guns were only used for what they were invented and intended for - shooting at cardboard and paper targets in a dark basement wearing goggles and earmuffs, we'd all be better off.

Let's not blame the machinery designed to drive metal through flesh at accelerated speeds. After all, I bet that kid could have murdered all 27 of those people just as easily with a kitchen knife or a large rock, right? ********ing hell.

Some ass on social media made the analogy that we don't blame cars for fatalities in drunk-driving incidents. Well, sorry sweetheart, cars weren't designed to rip apart living flesh with intent to kill now, were they?

I've largely been fine with gun rights for people, but let's not pretend these things aren't the reason 27 people are dead instead of 1 or 2.

 

If he was half as smart as they said he is - it would be rather easy to build a bomb or three.

 

Just because I didn't know about or mention the AR-15, it doesn't mean I am happy with it.

 

...aaaaaand punt.

 

Noted.

 

I apologize for saying this has nothing to do w/ gun control.

That was rather ignorant of me, but it has been a hot topic of late in my home state.

This is an awful situation.

This is not the time - or place - to be discussing such matters.
