They were pretty much mowing down pedestrians. It's not like it was an RBT.
But if you shoot someone, you'd think you don't need to then bash them. They went USA on their arses.
the car mounted the sidewalk AFTER the driver was shot.

Any recommendations for some nice leather semi-dress, semi-casual shoes? That aren't boat shoes.
I'm 26 and save for one pair of Clarks I've never had shoes that weren't sneakers. The other factor is I don't want to look like the young asshole who's trying to hard wearing extravagant TPWF pointy shits. But I'd like to feel a little grown up when I'm going on a date or whatever.
Kind of a lot to ask I know, but I feel like a lot of you fellow oontzers are likeminded to my own discriminations, and I'd appreciate the input.
The shoes make the man, apparently.

Is it creepy to stalk and kill anyone who uses a hashtag on any website because they're that fucking annoying?
Is it creepy to do the same for people who use "YOLO" in any context?
Am I too upset by these things? No.
I know I answered the last one myself, but still.
maybe stalking and killing is going a bit far, but your shitty quinoa salad has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FIRST WORLD AND YOUR LAME PROBLEMS, IT HAS TO DO WITH YOU BEING A CUNT (not you) so stop trying to validate your boring existence.
I guess punishment according to traditional Sharia law would be more appropriate. Lashings and stoning, etc....
Sharia Law - why is everyone so mad? Lashings and stoning is fun (im guessing) Get with it, jerks. I, for one, welcome our evil overlords.
What does YOLO mean?

What is the point of twitter, I mean really?
I rate it. Highly. So i'll share my thoughts about twitter with you.
It depends on what you want to get out of it / how you use the internet. It's basically a filtered stream of links to the things I am interested in looking at on the internet. News mainly then music, art, fashion, authors' notes, comedians, etc… A lot of people use twitter as their first point of contact when sharing news. This is great because I follow them and enjoy hearing their news in real time.
I originally signed up to read my favourite authors thoughts and musings on things. This is paying off. He's excellent.
Then there's a whole pool of idiots who use it to socialise and they're clogging up my news feed with boring cross talk. I try and avoid this.
Also: little to no advertising and great for throwing random insults at kim kardashian.

is it rude to unfollow everyone who talks about their stupid fucking exercise plan and diet on twitter (even if they are my friends)? is it creepy to stalk and kill the people who use the #firstworldproblems hashtag on twitter?
am I spending too much time on twitter?
edit: sorry, I could not find a butt picture (because I did not search for one) I hope this will do..

it just sounds stupid... no matter who says it (more so from upper middle class suburban whites, speaking to other upper middle class suburban whites)
if someone uses the term in conversation with me, I politely ask them not to.

I think the US are helping Australia monitor Indonesia too... Any thoughts?

american apparel... worldwide and wholesale prices are pretty good.

Why do you think Australia doesn't have a choice?
I think you have to look past the rhetoric on the democracy thing, whilst nice to be able to create a system in the world after your own values I doubt that the policy makers are actually that naive. In Vietnam it didn't matter what became of that country as long as the spread of communism was halted and the US showed a commitment to the world that it was prepared to put its money where it's mouth was and spend money and blood. Without that demonstrated commitment countries like Indonesia, Australia, Greece, Israel, Egypt, etc. would always have to consider that the US wouldn't come to their aid should the USSR/China come at them with force (be it openly or through a revolutionary proxy).
That's what they did in Vietnam, stalled the commies, created instability in the region rather than let it consolidate and showed the world that it's willing to do what it takes. It's a similar situation in Afghanistan, I don't think anyone is that naive to think they can just plant democracy into what is probably the most unreceptive country in the world. The US has to ensure an environment that denies global jihadists and operating base, first and foremost. Second, the US has to set up a balance of power in the region. The last thing the US wants is power to consolidate in the region and push out in to the Indian Ocean with overwhelming naval power. Have a look on this map how busy the shipping is past India and where it is coming from (energy energy energy!). The last thing the US wants is a navy in the Indian Ocean that is stronger than the US navy, and that could be the Indians.
India is a traditional land power, it's conflicts are with its neighbours Pakistan and China. That means that Indian money is spent on guns, tanks, fortification, land transport, missiles, etc. Should India free itself from that land focus it will be free to spend that money on naval forces (plus the only logical expansion for India is seaward). If India can get it's shit together it has potential similar to that of China, large and cheap labor base. It's just that India has shithouse transport infrastructure and the bulk of the population does not live on the coast. Should India be able to consolidate forces in Afghanistan it will have Pakistan's back forcing Islamabad to split its efforts, taking some heat away from India and it will also reduce the Islamist proxy forces Pakistan can deploy against India (not to mention take away Paki strategic depth, etc, etc.). This is Pakistan is so intent on not allowing Indian participation in Afghanistan to any serious degree.
So the US wants to allow India to grow as this will balance against Chinese expansion in to South East Asia and the Indian Ocean but the US doesn't want India to grow beyond US control. This is the regional balance it has to work out before it can leave the region. Deny the jihadists an operating base and leave in place a regional power balance that supports the US interests. And hey, if they can sprinkle a little democratic fairy dust along the way, all well and good!!
The last thing US wants is war with China not only because it needs a rest after Iraq/Afghanistan (in terms of economics, posture restructure, morale, etc.) but because the Chinese economy is good for US interests. The US agenda is to have an economically successful China but for Beijing to act within the US system of play. That means grow your economy, allow the US access to your market, don't make what the US makes cheaper than the US makes it and don't spend too much money on your military....., or design any ground breaking tech in energy, info, space, etc.
War in the Pacific would be damaging to the US. It will gain more out of making China the boogy man and attracting weaker regional countries in to the US sphere for protection and then using that power to shape China's behaviour to suit US purposes. Take Myanmar for instance, great lever to shape Chinese behaviour. Same with Vietnam and the fear in ASEAN right now against the way China is acting with its military in its maritime environment. The US has gained greater access to Australia, Philippines, Singapore and Vietnam thanks to Chinese aggression. Things are working fairly well for the US at the moment thanks to Chinese belligerence in the oceans.
Personally I don't give a shit how all this pans out, I just like to see it how it is.
I dont think there will be war in the Pacific... Just kinda figuring out if a new (republican) govt in the states would have any more motivation than the current one to deploy troops from here to go fight somewhere. That would be damaging to Australia and its power in the Pacific, I think.
I really have always wondered (even with the information that is fed to us about the USA's motives behind war in Vietnam) what their *actual* motivation was.. I've never really understood the Vietnam war and I dont know why America hates communists so much. Good read, thank you.

Hi gang. It's been a while… Wasn't this fun when it was still a thing?! It is still.
So these guys arrived a couple of weeks ago and it looked pretty fancy. Welcome, friends. I have a question to anyone that might know stuff about war. So, Obama sent some American troops here (for whatever reason) and we're all ok with that (because we don't have a choice).
What if government changes in America and the Republicans come to power. Does the military agenda vary much between political parties?
