  • Why are Israeli lawmakers wearing gold nooses?

    Jump

  • That was us not Israel. It was us saying “we want them freed… but don’t send them here!”

    It’s complicated. That’s why say I don’t know what’s “right “ but I can tell what’s “wrong”

    What’s going on now is wrong. I don’t think it’s fair to just say “the other guys are right, give it to them”

    It’s complicated. But we all agree what is happening right now is wrong. That’s our common ground.

    Israel used to be a lush forest. The further back you go the more complicated it gets.

    We can agree “right now… this is wrong!”

    I’m sure you are technically correct but that isn’t most people “starting point”

    There’s only so far back you can go before people labor it non important

    Edit: not important to current events. Not saying it wasn’t horrible

    My point is 2000 years ago that was undisputed “Israel “ how far back are we going before we have to admit “that doesn’t matter for this discussion “

  • Always is very broad term. I can tell you during ww2 they were not genocideing Palestine.

    I agree that this was ramping up for longer than I knew but using words like “always” only hurts the cause .

  • I stopped. I was very pro Israel back in the day. Even said “well Israel wants to divide the country while hamas wants all Jews dead… I have to side with the Jews”

    But then they did a genocide and it’s like “well there goes that theory”

    No one likes to be wrong but what’s worse is continuing to be wrong after you know.

    I don’t know the solution but I’ve changed my mind on the problem.

  • I’m religious (I don’t force it on anyone)

    The entire fucking Bible makes it clear to let people live. Even if you believe they are sinners (they aren’t but whatever) that means you love them harder because they need more love.

    But that wouldn’t teach them anything because they won’t listen.

    So I suggest bringing a copy of the Bible and just hitting people with it while shouting “the power of Christ compels you”

    It’s a very heavy book. If you don’t want to use the Bible you can substitute with “the power broker” and say whatever you want. They never read the power broker, they won’t call you on it.

  • I do that one a lot too when talking about immigrants. “No you misunderstood. We are a nation of immigrants but my family wasn’t. My families been here since the late 1600s. America formed around us. Like lt Dan, a member of my family fought and died in every American war. This is my damn country and you’re not going to shut MY DOOR behind you. I want immigrants in MY country. If you don’t like it here, you leave. They can stay”

    I also have Native American blood in me but not enough to brag about.

    I’m also technically a Mormon priest so I declare drag shows to be biblically fine. Not a sin at all. I bless them.

    I call it the “out pizza the hut strategy” oh you’re family lived in this town 150 years? That’s adorable. The largest man made lake in Texas is named after my great grandfather. Your family is just on vacation compared to mine.

  • Oh one more thing there are people who would argue clowns can talk and that doesn’t make them less clowns…

    It’s just not how my camp feels.

    It’s sort of like “zombie purists “

    “No zombies can’t hold guns… this is a monster movie not a zombie movie!!! No zombies can’t run or collaborate, that’s a monster not a zombie”

    And there’s arguments to be made on both sides but I know where I stand.

    Clown don’t talk and zombies have to be risen dead, not a rabies like disease.

    That’s just my opinion.

  • Well clown don’t talk but that doesn’t mean they are “silent” more specifically the point of their jokes are not “silence”.

    Clowns have different styles of jokes. There’s poor clown, the dumb clown, the bossy clown (found in clown groups ) angry clowns. So on and so forth.

    Now I don’t mean to talk down on mimes, not at all, they are fun too but their jokes are all about them being silent and you figuring out what’s going on. Trapped in a box, too windy, climbing a rope. They arent falling down stairs or getting into fights with other clowns.

    Mines are silent, that’s their bit. Clowns are silent but they have their own personalities.

    If you watch “welcome to derry” that last episode has a good example of a kind of clown act. He’s pulling flowers but a gopher keeps taking them, then you find out the flowers are for the grave of his wife and the gopher gives him a flower. There a storyline to the jokes.

    Btw pennywise the clown has great makeup. I know people see it as creepy but it does what it’s supposed to do.

    Highlights his smile his cheexk movements his forehead movements.

    That’s what the makeup is for. So the audience 50 feet away can see clearly when you’re smiling or frowning or crying. That’s the point of clown makeup.

    I’ve always wanted to be a clown instead I’m just a retail district managers who’s fantastic at his job… I should’ve been a clown lol

    Oh another example of the difference is the guy from (I think) americas got talent. The tape face guy.

    He doesn’t talk but he has music and stuff in his bits.

    His goth look btw is also just clown makeup in that it has the same effect. He just uses dark shadow so you can see when he’s “surprised “ vs “tired” the tape also shows face movement.

    Clown are fascinating if you give them a chance.

    Real professional clowns not the clown at the car dealership who makes balloon animals.

  • Clowns don’t talk. lol if you want to have an hour long debate on the differences between clowns and mines I’ll be happy to indulge but it’s probably best if you just back away lol

  • They want to be taken seriously. So if you have a trombone, bagpipes, a clown costume… anything that makes a mockery of their protest will hurt them more than all the facts and clever phrasing in the world.

    These people are prepared to argue that aren’t prepared for a clown with a ukalalee .

    White face paint is cheap. Add a couple red dots on your cheekbones and around your mouth. Boom you’re a clown. The whole time the are talking just stand next to them. Slump your shoulders and rub your hand under your eyes with the classic wrist twisting motion. So they know you’re crying with them.

    Make sure they can’t get a single good picture of their protest without “that damn clown is in the way!”

    Cost you about 3 bucks in supplies and would hurt than more than any megaphone.

    He’ll it’s a drag show? I’m sure someone could lend you some makeup if you tell them why.

  • Very correct. I took a breather.

    Crumple zones work better in head on or rear end collision. They are safer than t-bones.

    However I was freaking out because I walk a lot as my only hobby. My grandfather taught me to walk as a way of organizing thoughts.

    Walking is dangerous. People joking about driving blind is scary to me. You hitting another car is small potatoes but if you hit me I’ll die, and the courts will say “why was he walking during the blind hours!”

    Thats why I freaked out. Well what triggered me. There’s no reason taking a walk should be as dangerous as moantain climbing.

    And that’s also unfair I’m going by numbers not percentages. More people walk than go skydiving or whatever. It’s still kinda fucked up that killing a pedestrian isn’t a big deal because “I didn’t see them”

    Hell there was a court case recently that ruled a walkers safety reflective vest was a distraction to the driver.

    It’s upsetting but I’m not doing anyone any good by freaking out. It’s important I articulate my feelings not resort to “would you skin a live baby for fun” type shit. That’s not helping anyone.

  • If the sun is in front of you than your mirrors are just fine. You can pull off safely.

    When I posted these I was having a moment. I’m going to doctors a lot because I had… well a mental breakdown.

    I apologize for my aggressiveness and stopped replying to a lot of people because I regret my comments.

    However I’m replying to this because in this comment I feel you are wrong. Your other comments were basically right.

    This one however is obvious. If you can’t see out the front you can easily see out the back.

    Again this time I’m saying it in good faith and not angry like I was the other night.

    There are safe ways to do what I was saying that I didn’t articulate well.

  • I’ll tell you what tho. If you ever plan to make a visit to Old Town in Kissimmee just off of Disney property let me know. I’ll call up and ask if they have any left. I’m still owed a lot of favors. The amount of times I fixed that laser machine instead of the owner having to send it out, plus I still run the google listing for the business. If they have any I could get you one.

    They won’t mail it tho. That was always a big hassle there people wanting stuff mailed all over the place. We had a flat out “no” policy because of it lol

    I can tell you that buckle came from a company called bucklestock but if they shipped us that many for free I doubt they are still making it.

  • You had your chance. I moved down to Texas a few months ago. You can probably still buy them for cheap tho if they have any left. They were sitting for a while.

  • It seems to affect the breathalyzer.

    I was unfortunately baker acted twice then went back for a third time for complications with my medicine. I couldn’t sleep for 4 days.

    Anyway knowing I was about to go back into an institution I decide “no reason I need to be sober for it”

    So I chain smoked a few cigarettes and quickly downed one of those club cocktails they sell at the gas station 10 percent abv.

    I blew way high on their breathalyzer. I’m a big guy and had one drink very quickly m, then walked in. It put me at well over the legal limit.

    For those that are curious it was actually the sedatives they prescribed that kept me awake. A rare side effect some people experience. It was aweful. They made me tired as shit but sleep never came.

  • I worked in a leather shop in Kissimmee Florida. If you’ve been to a leather shop in Kissimmee Florida you probably saw me there. Long haired guy in cowboy boots.

    Anyway the company we ordered belt buckles from would occasionally send us “free gifts” of buckles that weren’t selling.

    For 15 years we had trigun belt buckles. It wasn’t our target demographic.

    Anytime anyone asked about one I was just like “here just take it… at least someone will appreciate it.”

    It took 15 years to give them away for free.
