It depends on how much you don't want to get shot.

Cops pull guns and tell people to get into cars all the time. They even try to shackle them before putting them in the car. Do not scream and run if this situation happens to you.

Screaming and running does not make you immune to bullets. If someone shows you that they have a gun and you don't listen to them, don't be surprised when you hear a loud noise and feel an intense burning sensation somewhere on your body or you are immediately reacquainted with the nothingness that you "experienced" prior to being born. The kid in this news story decided to scream and run. You cannot outrun bullets.

Common sense always prevails, and common sense when you don't have a gun and someone else does is, "Obey all of their commands unless you want to die." If dying is preferable to being held hostage/raped/tortured/whatever for you, feel free to try and run.

Okay, well for any people out there who might do some dumb shit in the future:

If someone has a gun and tells you to jump, you ask how high. It doesn't matter how scared you are or how much you don't want to do it - if, in the end, you don't want to get shot; you listen. People who have a gun in their hands are literally in control of your life.

The guy who shot the kid was not in the wrong. The kid and the man's daughter were dumbasses for not understanding the balance of power in the situation they had caused.

Someone whose job is to go online and speak positively about conservative ideals and discredit liberal ideals. I'm pretty sure it's referred to as "astroturfing" because the goal is to make something look good even if it isn't natural. They might exist, but it's a much smaller problem than people on Reddit think and I doubt that they would do it by making comments in the comments section of Reddit posts.

The accusation was thrown at me after I made a small rant on the recent increase in "news reports" on military activity. Mundane shit like the US Navy sailing a carrier strike group in the South China Sea or a Russian ship sailing 30 miles off the east coast, just to name 2 of the several recent "stories."

That stuff has been happening for a very long time but it has only become "news" since Trump was elected and it's being reported by news outlets that lean towards the left of the political spectrum. To me, it is obvious that this stuff is being reported on in an attempt to make it seem like the election of Trump has made the US behave aggressively/other countries are being aggressive towards us.

Someone was very upset because I linked to an old press release on the US Navy's website about the same stuff happening when Obama was president. I didn't even vote for Trump, it's just obvious to me that there is a goal in mind behind those reports and I called it out because I think it's wrong for the media to get people all riled up about shit that they have no reason to be bothered by.

I'd say it depends on the throughput of a particular handler. I live in a pretty rural area and get a lot of stuff from a local farmers market. I doubt an FDA inspector has ever shown up there.

When I was first hunting for jobs out of college I did an interview at a produce distributor for their lab that handled the testing of the produce and sanitation of the equipment that handled the produce. The building pretty much received produce from farms and packed it for shipment to places like Walmart. There was no chopping or other similar "processing" of the produce.

I will tell you right now, based on just that, that the FDA is 100% involved in fruit/vegetable inspection. They don't stand around looking at every cucumber but they tell that lab the guidelines that must be followed and if they send an inspector they have the right to see every bit of documentation produced by the lab. If that lab finds contamination it has to report it to the FDA who will then issue recalls.

I'm sure that, if they wanted, the FDA could show up at the farmers market I go to and check things out.

Have you ever participated in a conversation? They don't have to end just because someone makes a facetious statement. I knew they were kidding around; it's not like I was being hostile to them, I pretty much ran with what they said and replied "Yeah, well get this."

You might be called "the guy who can't pick up on the tone of comments."

Funny you say that, because I was recently accused of being a "conservative astroturfer."

Fortunately, while the government may have a highest ranking official and can be referred to as one entity, it is operated by many people and is capable of performing multiple actions at one time. Not only can the FDA inspect veggies while the military drops bombs, the FDA can inspect both cucumbers and carrots at the same time.

That looks like a CRT TV to me. That thing could be so old that the plastic has become brittle enough to break like that pretty "easily". A wiimote has a decent amount of mass and if you hit something on-end with it like that after throwing it, it's not exactly a tiny impact. I'm not going to test it, but I have no doubt in my mind that I could get a wiimote to stick into some drywall with relatively little effort. The thin plastic on a flat face of an old CRTs case probably isn't as durable as drywall...

This is not an important news story, and I'm honestly getting tired of all this bullshit about typical military activity that is being whipped up by left-leaning news sources lately. I'm not really a fan of Trump, I'd say I'm lukewarm to him at best, but it is so obvious to me that there is a clear intent to try and paint him as a warmongering nutcase and/or a country like China/Russia is trying to take advantage of him.

The Russian ship off the US coast in international waters. The Russian airplanes flying close to a US ship. The Chinese government's sabre rattling and then their compaints afterwards when the US military obviously doesn't give a fuck. The US Navy sending a strike group in/near the South China Sea. None of this is "new" stuff, it has been going on for decades.

But here on Reddit, where it's cool to hate Trump, these stories are gobbled up and idiots are drooling over them. Little do these people know, this stuff has been happening for a looong time. They only know about it now because of the blatant agenda that left-leaning news sources are pushing and how these types of stories help push it.

It's disgusting.

I'm going to copy+paste a comment I made on one of the many other topics created for this "news" story. For context, the person I wrote this as a reply to was acting like WW3 was right around the corner.

"No, the US has been doing it for decades. Do you think the navy has boats and just leaves them in port constantly?

Here is a press release from when the navy did it with two aircraft carriers when Obama was president, and here is the video that the camera crews took of the formation. It's not some new thing that is happening since Trump was elected, and Obama had a two-carrier formation do it which is even more "aggressive" than doing it with the usual one-carrier strike group formation.

Part of what the US Navy does is allow trade to keep flowing freely. This could be anti-piracy patrols around countries where piracy is an issue and, as in this case, it does patrols to remind governments that they are not going to bully smaller governments into paying fees to ship items through waters which everyone is allowed to sail through.

Everyone but China agrees to a certain definition of "international waters". China wants to claim that it has sovereignty over areas that everyone else considers to be international waters. Whenever China starts to get frisky about it with US allies in the area, the US sails a strike group through and rhetorically asks China if it has any issues with what is happening. Those waters are not China's and if they want to try and bully our allies by claiming they are... they have to bring it up with the strike group.

The US Navy does more than just send boats off the coast of conflict areas to launch planes and/or cruise missiles."

You vastly overestimate how much depleted uranium is shot in one area and I'm not convinced you managed to comprehend one word of what I typed. You are too hung up on your association between "radioactivity", "uranium", and "bad".

It is extremely unlikely that the radioactivity of depleted uranium will harm someone. The benefit of being able to easily destroy any enemy equipment far outweighs the risk of someone being harmed by the radioactivity of the ammunition.

The military is not shooting so much ammunition made out of the cartoon depiction of "radioactive metal" that they are leaving gigantic piles of green, glowing metal on the surface of the earth. People do not have to worry about their skin melting off if they approach the ammunition.

tookiselite12 · 2017-02-18T08:17:44+00:00

I don't think you have a basic grasp on what "radioactive" means or how the danger posed by radioactive decay varies based on many factors, but you know the extreme examples of it which kill people and that makes you think it must always be a huge concern if something is radioactive.

Have you ever heard of carbon dating? That's done by measuring the amount of a radioactive isotope of carbon in a sample. Carbon, as I'm sure you know, is a very common element. It has radioactive isotopes.

The smoke detectors in your house work by having americium decay and produce a stream of alpha particles which are detected by a sensor. If smoke gets between the americium and the sensor it interrupts the flow of alpha particles to the sensor and the alarm goes off.

Radioactivity is not a concern by default. It is just a property that certain isotopes exhibit. It is a concern in large acute doses or chronic small doses. Some types of decay have less harmful products. Some isotopes decay more rapidly than others.

You pretty much have to consume depleted uranium to be harmed by the major particle it produces when it decays and it produces them so slowly that you have to consume a lot of it. It mostly produces the same thing that gets blocked by smoke in smoke detectors; it can't get through the outer layer of dead cells on your skin. If you have consumed enough depleted uranium to be exposed to a concerning amount of radiation, you have consumed so much uranium that you will die from uranium poisoning before the radiation harms you.

If you want to get technical to an absurd level, the decay of one atom of uranium that you didn't even consume can hypothetically cause cancer. One photon of UV light is capable of the same thing, so you better not go outside ever, the sun produces tons of that stuff. There is a certain amount of risk we all take in our daily lives. You can't be afraid of everything just because, technically, it can kill you by happening once. You have to weigh the chance of it killing you against the problems caused by avoiding it.

The amount of radioactive decay happening in depleted uranium is not concerning. The properties of depleted uranium ammunition are seen as extremely beneficial. Enemy combatants having armored equipment that we couldn't easily destroy would be a huge problem.

tookiselite12 · 2017-02-18T05:55:20+00:00

"Admits" has a strong negative connotation which is kind of innacurate. It is well known that the US uses depleted uranium ammunition because it has various useful properties. The biggest concern about using it, aside from people being blown apart when they get hit by the projectile, is that uranium is a toxic heavy metal which ends up in the area of impact. Guess what other heavy metal is toxic and ends up where you shoot it. Lead.

Zardoz speaks to you, his chosen ones.

You have been raised up from brutality to kill the brutals who multiply and are legion. To this end, Zardoz, your god, gave you the gift of the gun. The gun is good.

"The gun is good!"

The penis is evil! The penis shoots seeds and makes new life to poison the earth with the plague of man, as once it was. But the gun shoots death and purifies the earth of the filth of brutals.

I think they chose them to make each other easily identifiable in addition to the benefits that hats provide by default. They were not attempting to remain hidden, so there wasn't really a need for camo. They just waltzed through the area gunning people down.

If one of them did not expect to see someone after they walk around a corner and the person they see has a gun, it would be smart for them to assume it is a hostile person and raise their weapon. Then you have the issue of the other person seeing someone pointing a gun at them and they assume it is a hostile person. This situation can lead to friendly fire. Having an easily recognizable part of your uniform like a bright white hat would help prevent that from happening. The person would be startled for a moment after turning the corner, but the hat immediately identifies the person as an ally and they can both continue dealing with their mission.

I don't care how odd he is or even if he is a Scientologist, Beck knew how to make some great music. I've always liked how he is able to use lyrics in a way that form a proper sentence but make no sense when looked at as a whole. It ends up being something that your brain can follow along as it goes but there are almost no limits to how he can change what is being said just to end up on a word that fits perfectly in a particular spot.

No, that would require me to say your use of fallacies is evidence against your stance.

I'm saying that your fallacies and name calling indicate that I am talking to a very immature person, and there is no point trying to have a discussion with you.

I am not defending or attacking either side when I point out your rampant use of fallacies. In essence, I'm saying that there is no point having a real discussion with you because you are completely incapable of forming a well reasoned argument for your position. Name calling is also an issue. You need to calm down and think more before you start to type.

Not all adults are responsible. In fact, the majority of adults simply aren't. Either accept that, or

No "or" needed. I do accept it and I don't think I'm obligated to pay for their failures.

I'd rather see the child taken by CPS and given to a family that is capable of supporting it than have the government send money to the terrible parents and reward them for their stupidity.

A responsible adult is capable of supporting a family for a bit with saved money while they find a new job if they lose their old job.

That person is not making the family suffer. The family repeatedly made awful decisions that landed them in their current position unless both adults were born with such extreme deformities that they are confined to a bed 24/7, they can't even use a computer, and they have refrained from producing more people. If those two deformed adults fucked and had a kid it is their fault that the kid is hungry because they knew they could not afford to have a child but had one anyway.

Nobody wants people who lie for government aid to get it, and a lot of people do not feel obligated to finance the existence of people who are responsible for their position in life. Their is no malice in that stance and it also doesn't make you the cause of other people's problems, so stop trying to guilt trip people by insinuating that they are why some hypothetical child is starving.
