When the fuck did I say anything against people with PTSD? PTSD is a REAL issue deserving of accommodation. What is NOT real are the people bitching about they were ‘triggered’ by the mere presence of some speaker they disagree with. Fuck those assholes.

When admins have to resign becuase some dick-fuck students didn’t like the admin memo on some bullshit halloween costume crap, there is a major problem. YOU DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO NOT BE OFFENDED.
I think we agree that somewhere in the middle is the place to be. Maybe we disagree how far either side needs to bend to…

I am all for “PG-13 for strong language and nudity” type content warnings. What I strongly bristle at is when this falls into the political arena and some of the shit we’ve seen (people losing their shit because someone wrote Trump in chalk on a sidewalk or because they saw a picture of a gun somewhere, or because…

College [should be] about transitioning into the real world. If we make it into “pre-school part 2" we are doing the students a dis-service. And if all you can respond with relates to my obvious bit of hyperbole, then try try again.

Regardless of WHAT you call it, equating “accomodating a real physical disability that would impair someone from partaking in the purpose of college which is to learn and be exposed to other/conflicting views” with “protecting someone from feeling offended by being exposed to other/conflicting views” is fucking…

This is bullshit. Everyone knows that real butter eaters follow this recipe:
1) Remove butter from fridge
2) Use steak knife to carve off 2-3 slices of hard butter
3) Use same knife to carve slices into smaller chunks
4) Sprinkle chunks of butter over bread
5) Immediately consume

Idaknow... sorta seems like connecting an everyday picture to the crime, one that looks more like the person you might run into on the street or in a job interview or whatever, is better than a mugshot.

My advice to you is don’t go to airshows. US airshows are extremely safe as compared to many other countries, but even before Reno I knew that an airplane crashing into me was a possibility.

Flyovers are NOT fine.

Again, don’t want to risk an airplane crashing into you, don’t go to airshows.

Why pray tell?

Luckily I never had to work fast food, but it seems like in reading all these things generally the customer gets whatever the fuck they want. I mean it sort of seems like I could go up to the counter at McDonalds, complain that my Big Mac value meal did not have enough hot dogs in it, demand an extra Big Mac in…

Yeah exactly... I’ve never been in combat but if I was on a hilltop surrounded by bad guys, what would I want supporting me? An A10 that is basically overhead at all times or some F16 that drops a bomb and radios back “how’d I do? Let me get turned around I’ll be back in 5 minutes”.

That’s an exageration about the F16…

I did the level the first time just watching.

For some reason this video brings home more than all the video of A10s in combat that this is by far the most useful plane in the entire US inventory at the moment.

Yeah we need some fighters for when we end up in a shooting war with someone with an airforce... but holy f*ck look at how fast that thing gets turned…

Man I went to the Arizona memorial just for something to do on my last day in HI and was amazed at how moving it is. The video they show really gets to you. Really paints the picture of “here one minute and gone the next”. I think it was the sudden nature of it... these guys didn’t even know they were at war and boom…

Any insights what its like to fly the Apache purely from a “this thing handles like a sports car” or “its like driving a uhaul van with a lotta guns sticking out of it” perspective?

Same question with the Marines’ Cobras.

Lotta blowback on Tyler’s comments but I think eventually we will be glad we had something like the space shuttle.

Your reading comprehension is poor. Please point out to me where I indicated we should hug it out. Kill ‘em all and slather them in bacon grease is my motto.

There are a lot of videos out on youtube where kids go into box stores and pop in porn soundtracks into stereo systems and blast it, and/or put one of the red-phones that can hook into the PA system next to the stereo.... my money is on this.

Yup... I vacilate a lot on this... How many needless defense contracts have gone to military vendors just to help keep them afloat... and holy shit, Boeing.... they are fucking HUGE and it ain’t from making 787s...

Who the fuck said I was crying about it?
