    Who here hasn’t stolen a truck with body parts? I hate it when this happens. Again.

     

    Yeah, usually those body parts are fenders, hoods, and quarter panels, but your point stands....

  2. Watching it now.  Funny, and heavy handed (think Mars Attacks), and takes a huge dispensation of belief of course, characters are cartoonish (think Strangelove). I wish they'd gone a bit more subtle/ironic with the dialog (think Catch 22 maybe).  

    Don't look up... just drill baby !!  It's definitely in the vein of Idiocracy in it's silliness.

    Anyone not getting who the republicans are, or what, and who is being lampooned is an idiot.   The best scenes are the final hours, and the family around the table IMO.  Think it's a lot of fun on the whole though.

    What's my premise?

    You went from I'd be sickened by it, to kids seeing guns next to a soccer ball, to billions of non Americans seeing guns in an American store.  

    At this point do you even know what your premise was ?

    Edit

     

    Furthermore I was asking why you personally would be Sickened 

    by it not by millions of other people from other nations

    I’m always an asshole to you, but it’s only because you are a moron.

    And a fuck you to you as well. . I feel for anyone who has to deal with you on a personal level if being an asshole is your go to move.  Your OP was a non starter for any serious commentary. Oh noes I see guns......... I'm sickened.

    Not that I'm freaked out by seeing guns (I've built a couple of AR's, enjoy reloading, all that) but this is a really bad argument lol. You're equivocating owning guns to boiling dogs alive in a wet market. Not exactly a winning comparison lol

    No I'm not (but show that boiling dog to a vegan, PETA member or some other uber animal loving person and they'd argue your point) I simply used it as an example of what culturally might trigger someone, and how that would be different in different countries based on what they're used to seeing.

    you're almost there. i appreciate your effort, that must have been taxing.

    You never fail to end up being an asshole in any of your posts.  Nice goal post moving by the way.  You love to try and play gotcha, but it just never quite works out for you the way you think it's going to go. Please stay in your safe, and ex patriated world.

    it would trigger billions of non-Americans if they walked into their local sporting goods store and saw this:

    are you at all able to grasp my point?

    I don't care about billions of non Americans walking into an American gun store, and seeing that.  The are billions of people who might be sickened walking  into a Chinese wet market, and seeing dogs being boiled alive.

    I get your point that there are some people who would be astounded, scared, and quizzical about it, but that isn't an issue we have to deal with in a country where the sale of firearms is perfectly legal.

    Yes, that's my point.

    I agree. It's why I've always wondered where all those folks live that are armed to the teeth because they are afraid of an armed intruder coming into their home. As you said, that's a horrible way to go thru life.

    I'd agree there are wack jobs out there, but hiding guns, and making them some secretive thing is not a good way to handle something that's a completely legal product in a country.  Seeing a gun should not trigger a normal functioning person.

    And new watches scratch too. It’s part of it, time pieces that are well worn make for better inheritances anyway. Live life, fully.  If that means scratches on a nice watch well then get to it.  

    Based on Baba Yagas post, are smells part of that great "patina" was well ?

    Because we’ve normalized gun culture such that you and millions of others think it’s ok.

    There’s millions of Chinese that grew up thinking the One Child Policy is ok. It isn’t, but you’re only able to arrive at that realization within the context of not growing up in China.

    Normalized ?  That ship sailed 200 years ago. Guns, and hunting have been a part of our culture since it's inception.  Making them boogie men, and some horrible thing is the problem.  Being scared of firearms is a horrible way to go thru life.

    It doesn’t scare me, it makes me sad.

    Why ?  Guns are bad so no one should see them ?  Walk into any large sporting goods store in America and you'll see hunting rifles, shotguns, and all manner of other firearms.  Why does it make you sad ?

    As someone pointed out, it’s a Walmart…probably next to the department where kids buy bicycles or footballs.

    So what ?  Why is that an issue ?  More than likely the Walmart demographic is very used to seeing guns at a Walmart 

     

    The single wall of guns in an apartment store that sells hunting rifles and sporting arms scare you in someway ?

    My favorite story was driving down I-59 to Tuscaloosa while in college. About midnight where the mercedes plant is now. Dark as it could be and suddenly the headlights turn off and the wipers start working. I was looking around for the UFO. Pulled into the rest stop and everything came back on and didn't happen again.

    That can be some scary shit.  Drove a Ford courier pickup truck in HS. Was coming home at around 2:30 am, no moon, with 5 empty beer kegs in the back from our last keg party of the school year, and the alternator dies on a curve, on a country road.   Everything dies, lights, and engine.

    Luckily I drove that road a lot, and knew where I was, and could coast off to the side without running into a tree. Scary ass shit I tell you for an 18 year, old drunk, HS kid.

    No shit.

    One night in the summer of 1966 I had to coast off I-35 with a dead engine & no lights. Pushed the MGA the last half block to my apartment located about where the new Moody basketball arena is being built.

    They all should have come equipped with a set of pedals so you could just pedal on home when it inevitably died on you.

    Did not know this until recently. The wonderful Amphicar (both car and boat) used Lucas. Lucas and water together - what could go wrong? At least on land you can coast to the side of the road

    Didn't know that either. Yeah Prince Lucas, and water what harm could there be ?
