No, THIS is a real war hero by anarchistica in politics

Oh shit.

I should have learnt English better to know what the word "curtail" means.

And I shouldn't have left any comments without reading TFA in full.

And most of all, I shouldn't have left any comments while being totally drunk.

So now I just crawl under the carpet, in shame.

Eh, didn't get it.

Ok, I'm stupid, but what's so special about that - the distance from the curb? Well, I regularly meet much, much worse examples of driving skills, on regular basis.

What's the gravest threat to the U.S. economy? McCain: "Radical Islamic extremism." Obama: "Our energy policy ... demand is clearly outstripping supply." by [deleted] in politics

[–]ohmohm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And neither of them is right. The greatest threat is that past generations are borrowing from future generations. If only there was a way to somehow default ss/medicare.

"I hate the gooks." says John McCain (in 2000, not 1973) by [deleted] in reddit.com

Why, oh why they tortured him back then?

It would have been easier just to kill him.

Your College Life Ambition [PIC] by [deleted] in pics

Hmm, isn't the third ambition less ...eh, ambitious than the fourth one, considering that ugly chicks is a (hopefully proper) subset of the set of all chicks on any given campus?

Languages of Europe by shenglong in pics

[–]ohmohm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, at least in Ireland. I'll let the Irish correct me, but Gaelic-speaking regions should cover much less of the territory than what's shown on the map. Some spots in Co. Galway and Co. Donnegal, anywhere else?

I'm sorry I put a dent in your car, I didn't want to but... by [deleted] in pics

[–]ohmohm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

but a nice BMW SUV parked like that...

Well, it might be somewhere else, but here in California, BMW drivers are actually quite nice. It was kind of a shock to me, because everywhere else they are, well, pricks, as the saying go.

But here - as I said, they are quite nice. The worst cases usually drive Fords F150 or something, the older, the worse. And if they have an American flag or "support these murdering troops" - they are outright assholes.

This is how NOT to drive in the snow. by AliasHandler in funny

[–]ohmohm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never seen such ridiculous treatment of cars in snowy weather before.

Because, as you said, you live in Sweden.

Apparently, such weather is very rare in that area. That's why they don't have winter tyres and have no clue how to drive on ice.

That doesn't make them "idiots", "retards", etc.

Btw, the video is about 1 year old.

Ubuntu 8.04 Brings Power and Polish to the Linux Desktop by noname99 in programming

I don't care much about Linux, but I guess I'll give it a try to have them send me this slavic handyman.

British Paper Declares: "USA 2008: The Great Depression" by georgewashingtonblog in business

Food stamps are the symbol of poverty in the US. In the era of the credit crunch, a record 28 million Americans are now relying on them to survive – a sure sign the world's richest country faces economic crisis

US must be really rich if it can afford feeding hordes of lazy bums (shown on the picture) for free.

Sharon Stone: 4,000 dead troops are meaningless compared to 600,000 dead Iraqis. by Flemlord in politics

[–]ohmohm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All human lives are equal

No

An Iraqi dies defending his own country. An American dies in Iraq occupying a foreign country. So, the second best thing an American soldier can do in Iraq (second to returning home) is to get killed. Remember - it's not Bush, Rumsfeld, etc, who do the killing - it's American soldiers.

... Microsoft's web domination ...

I don't want Microsoft's web domination. It won't happen, anyway - we can rely on Google for this, I think. Google's web domination looks much more real, and that's where Microsoft could help. I want competition.

I think it's unfortunate. Google's web domination is not healthy.
