And the predictable few are crying racism.

1. This is a very ugly scene from the former good ol' U.S. of A.

[Cooley Hurd]

2. I toyed with Discussionist...

...but I felt like I was on a YouTube discussion page and felt filthy because of it.

The Discussionist predicate is that "equals", but of differing opinions, are "discussing" issues.

Um, no. You are arguing with low-information voters. Meaning you are arguing with morans...

[Gothmog]

6. It is fun playing with the conservatives

The conservatives on that board are really weak and are fun to play with.

[Warpy]

27. Not me.

I decided to leave the Swill Pit to the easily amused and terminally bored.

I was done with right wingers many years ago. Walk away from them in real life (usually twiddling my index finger next to my temple) and click them out of existence on the net.

[Gothmog]

32. To each their own

I have a high tolerance for stupidity and I enjoy playing with the conservatives. The conservatives on this board can not deal with facts

[conservaphobe]

3. Went straight to my Facebook page.

Mostly an eastern Kentucky audience.

[Gothmog]

4. This post was alerted and survived the alert

Someone on Discussionist does not have a sense of humor

[BainsBane]

5. What was the basis for the alert?

[Gothmog]

7. They accused the OP of playing the race card

The vote was 5 to 2 to leave it alone

[BainsBane]

8. Those alerts piss me off

That people make that argument on a liberal discussion board is unfathomable to me.

[NYC_SKP]

19. I wouldn't ever alert on it, but I'll call it out as bigoted and classist:

Because:

"Y'all Qaeda" is clearly divisive, using the mostly Southern Y'All to associate gun assholes with Americans in the South (unfairly), and then further associating them with a Muslim movement that is only related in the degree to which they are the targets of fear and hatred.

It's juvenile (very) and not indicative of a sentiment toward finding any common ground or solutions, but rather to just insult and degrade two distinct groups.

Like Blonde or Polish jokes, it's low brow and embarrassing. SMH.

But not racist, and not an alert worthy thing.

[Cirque du So-What]

17. I was a juror

and, of course, I voted to leave it. I really should start adding commentary to my votes.

[Gothmog]

34. As was I

This post should never have been alerted

[Lizzie Poppet]

36. Of course you voted to leave it.

After all, making fun of Southern whites is the last "acceptable" bigotry.

[Cirque du So-What]

38. It wasn't their southernness or whiteness that made them worthy of derision

It was the brandishing of weapons.

[Lizzie Poppet]

39. Riiiiiight.

Thus the "y'all."

Oh, wait...

[Cirque du So-What]

40. Artistic license

to use malapropism in making a comedic point.

[Lizzie Poppet]

41. Fair enough!

Some of my favorite comedians and humorists employ that sort of artistic license.

[11 Bravo]

9. That's some serious diversity right there. Everything from white to pasty white!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

16. Beet red and fish-belly white

[Gothmog]

33. Come to a Greg Abbott campaign stop in Texas

You will see a similar example of diversity

[Half-Century Man]

10. Military assessment of group.

124 individuals at a quick count;
1 or 2 in wheel chairs. compromised mobility and usefulness on battleground.
30 overweight. compromised endurance, speed, and mobility.
46 past Military age. compromised endurance, speed, and reaction time; lowered acuteness of the 5 senses, and strength.
1 pre-Military age. 2 year old, nuff said. Parent neutralized by responsibilities.

Equipment eval;
hodge podge of weapons, negates ammo sharing and lower effectiveness of shooters with salvaged weapons (unfamiliar)
Camo pants and brightly colored tops. Not deer hunting, 99% of humans have effective color differentiation.
No heavy weapons.
Large collection of junk food in right corner bodes poorly of dietary habits.

Skill assessment
Unknown number of military vets, unknown number of persons used to living outside of the comforts of civilization.


Likely outcomes;
If encountering a heavily armed motivated group. Esprit de corps will evaporate quickly under fire (easy to be brave 12,000 miles away). Heavy casualties among group. Fragmentation of company within 30 to 60 minutes of dynamic engagement.


For what is worth. Completely my personal opinion based solely on a single visual representation.

[trumad]

11. Snarf---

great post!

[flying rabbit]

14. I agree. nt

[LiberalElite]

18. REC!

[tkmorris]

21. 30-60 minutes until group fragmentation is being very kind...

Otherwise, excellent assessment.

[icymist]

22. Which one is Ted Nugent?

He must be in there somewhere.

[Half-Century Man]

23. Sort of a "Where's Weirdo" game.

[edbermac]

24. Or Spot The Looney.

[lovemydog]

29. Haha, "The looney was of course

the writer, Sir Walter Scott."

[Tuesday Afternoon]

28. now that is funny and so weird of me to think it because the picture is not funny to me - odd, eh

(as I ponder my navel.)

[Journeyman]

30. Well said, sir. Well said indeed . . .

[Jamastiene]

31. I wish this was an OP so I could rec it.

Excellent assessment.

[Autumn]

37. You are optimistic. I would think 30 to 60 minutes would be rather a high figure

I'm gonna go with 5 to 10 minutes.

[TeamPooka]

12. if I cared or wanted to know what what posted there, i'd be there. But I'm not.

Keep our waters clean.

[MineralMan]

13. 112th Moron Division.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

15. Lol.

[Half-Century Man]

20. Ha, I remembered who he looks like.

Between the two pillars on the left.
Why is the Miner-49er saluting the camera? Where is Scooby and Shaggy?

[NuclearDem]

25. And that's probably one of the tamer threads over there right now.

Legendary troll flame out last night, in which Strelnikov from Dr. Zhivago was repeatedly asserted to be a fireman.

[edbermac]

26. I saw that, 5 hides in 1 post.

He was really on a roll!

[sorefeet]

35. Are they the ones

that are going to save the country.
