Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
« on: June 17, 2018, 01:15:33 PM »
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/israel-shoots-to-wound-not-kill-that-has-led-to-a-wave-of-amputations-in-gaza/ar-AAytEaF

Palestinian protestors have complained about Israeli soldiers killing too many of their people, so the Israelis have apparently adopted a "shoot to wound" policy in oder not to kill as many people. Sounds very sporting of them.

So now the protestors are complaining because they don't have a medical system adequate to handle the number of people who are being wounded. I guess I'm a bad person (again? still?), because I just can't dredge up any sympathy. There's an easy way to NOT get shot: Don't go to the border, don't throw Molotov cocktails at the Israelis, don't burn tires near the border. In other words, stop trying to storm the barricades, stop ranting about wiping Israel off the face of the earth, and start acting like rational human beings.

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

Full size SUV and high speed don't mix well.

Full SUV and high rotational forces tend to cause any unstrapped occupants to be ejected from the interior of the vehicle to the exterior, it just depends on what point of the roll you get spit out on how far you get to fly.

So much for "Jesus take the wheel..."

Jesus was in the back...
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

With 14 people in there, at least one of them just HAD to be a Hay-soos.

Some places have laws that prohibit wearing a bullet proof vest when committing a felony . . . maybe we need a law that prohibits wearing seat belts when fleeing from police at high speed?   >:D
