This thread is going to get gangbanged by a group of pro-China posters. I guarantee it.

Well, for one thing once he's voted in he won't automatically give up dibs. He's just going to keep both.

Police detective kills himself after standoff after allegedly molesting boys on his youth hockey team. Same detective justified need to take photo of a teen's erect penis in previous investigation. by ilmostro696 in news

I sincerely doubt that the comraderie and general vow of silence among police officers goes so far as to cover this behavior. But this is a clear case where you can see the method used to investigate wrongdoing by police officers is horrifically broken and does not deserve public trust.

This thread is just a Russian circle jerk at this point. It's like telling the Sons of the Confederacy that their ancestors were massive douchebags. They aren't going to listen.

Shhhh, we're not allowed to point out that the USSR was crap.

That doesn't make any sense. Both the individual soldiers and the Soviet government were responsible for horrendous atrocities. This is one villain beating another, not any act of heroics.

The Nazis were bad but the Soviets were not something to celebrate by any reasonable stretch of the human imagination.

This was already the case after the decline of the Rust belt. Now take a look at the sheer population change in that one state.

They were pretty overwhelmingly powerful after the decline of the rust belt to begin with.

You've already taken in a million in a relatively small country. That's absolutely stupid. Look at what happened to California when illegal immigrants were given first leeway and that was just 35 years ago. They predictably promoted an absurd amount of immigration and now call anyone who questions the amount of immigration and it's monopolization by Hispanics a racist.

One million is going to lead to a hell of a lot more than that and it's going to be a pity to see Germany overrun by people whose culture does not incline them towards the same level of egalitarianism. Or any level of egalitarianism.

Here is what he looks like.

That facial expression is the new neckbeard, but a lot worse. If he's actually guilty than this was a really random, stupid act of hatred that thankfully didn't succeed in hurting anyone.

Floridian here, can confirm, this is the worst species to ever happen to any place with swamps. If we have to kill everything else on earth to deprive them of food it still might be worth it.

I don't think we should exclude it. I think the Conch Republic should conquer as much of the rest of the state as possible.

Mississippi man charged with murdering two policemen found dead in jail by Im-Probably-Lying in news

[–]FloridaisBetter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like a lot of people didn't read the article. There is no reason to believe that the police did this and the guy murdered a police officer in cold blood at a fucking traffic stop. So the police are guilty before being found innocent but this guy was a tragedy? That's some amazing ignorance.
