Bloody hell! I'm glad no one got hurt in this video but it's shocking nonetheless... and why the hell do some people feel they have to take others with them before killing themselves anyway?

Someone makes a post mostly devoid of original content and meaningful insights, just some intellectual rambling either relativating everything or cleverly pointing out obvious truths. But the whole thing is wrapped in nicely structured sentences and exquisite words. Even worse, other applaud this crap and blindly say he's right and so great a writer. Certain people do this quite often.
Probably most people are just too lazy to carefully read through such drivel wrapped in an expensive dress and point out the flaws, starting a prolonged discussion with the verbose poster.
True.
I am guilty of some rambling, verbose babble myself. Posted by srussell0018 on Dec-15-2010 21:04:

You don't get it. Language is not the issue. You being an imbecile is.

This has nothing to do with your (terrible) English, and everything to do with your constant and utter stupidity. Has the alcohol turned your brain to mush?

maybe its an instinctual need to accomplish something before you die. this process is significantly sped up if you are getting ready to off yourself. I know if I ever decide to leave here I'd like to post goatse in every forum b4 i get banned.

I'm not sure there's really any logical thought process to be identified here. Maybe they wanted to kill some people, but didn't want to go to prison and knew offing themselves was the only other option? Who knows?

You do realize I never said anything positive about America in this entire thread right? So apparently me not agreeing with barely readable nonsense from some dimwitted fool makes me ignorant? Believe me I wish I could just ignore everything you say.

You can, actually. There is an ignore link if you go to a person's profile page.

Leaving the impact on people. In this case, "teaching" them that what they have done was "not right" and that they won't always get away with it.

so if theres so many nice americans like you why do you allow your government to act as crazy as it did or do? probably because the hillbillies have more desire to do something than the rest of you, but they need direction, which they easily get from the previous selected government - reminded alot of germany during 30s. and then it comes back to my original claim, that america is considered bad because good people dont act. or atleast not in the same size as your moronic forces. what ive also been trying to explain this whole time is that no one hates the entire american population, but one will get a stamp when you are part of a group of people doing crazy things.
See, now you're raising valid points, all of which I can see.
I would go so far as to say it's more like America from the very late 1800's up to the Great Depression - that essentially America is currently powered on a lot of bullshit cookies because its news media is feeding it. Where your point about Germany comes in, however, is that where it was once simple chaos, ignorance and greed, which brought about such a calamity, it's as though the people currently in charge of the media are a little more careful about keeping it in place and granting editorial access to carefully messaged political pundits.
Why? It's the money, my friend. The lunatic fringe, idiot celebrities, and other such pap sells advertising space and CNN would have lost out on its funding had they investigated Countrywide Financial while there was still time to halt a second financial calamity. But if you look at the Yellow Journalism period of American History, the parallels are immediately apparent.
Even the Tea Party parallels early, grass-roots Socialist movements, of the early 1900's. Only, here, it's the Republican party who has taken the reigns and twisted the cause to simply perverted levels. Goebbels would be proud, the way they have messaged contempt for intellectualism as rallying slogans for a populist movement. Where grass-roots could once be measured as a group of people uniting for a common good, it is now a chunk of electoral real-estate consisting of an electorate largely dead, behind the eyes.
And onward we consider the parallels to Chinese Thought Reform and its efficacy employed within the confines of what is ostensibly an open society. Glen Beck amongst the others consisting the white noise of rambling idiocy; an endless succession of non-sequiturs so ignorant that while they disparage George Soros for being behind the velvet revolution in Czechoslovakia, they also chide him for being communist, which is the very nature of the regime the Velvet Revolution over-threw.
In answer to your question, as to why does the insanity of the United States persist so abundantly: Because large segments of the population are simply too fucking stupid and ignorant to have a conversation consisting of anything other than totalitarian-esque thought terminating cliche's. When the argument is reduced to One Big Assed Mistake, America, there's little point in continuing to follow the Roberts Rules of Ordered agenda called for by some Volvo driving, Latte sipping, Arugula eating, egg-head.
Offsetting this, however, we have Anderson Cooper, Fareed Zakaria, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert not to mention a few other vocal proponents of reason. There are still reputable news sources, such as NPR and The New York Times. Do they get enough air-time to make a difference? Hard to say other than submitting that things could be a lot worse. The image of America being portrayed by Fox News Channel is most prominent, in part, because it has the biggest mega-phone. In answer to that, there actually is an increasingly vocal center. It's just taking time.

I'm really considering the possibility that it's not just broken English and you're actually retarded.

I don�t know anyone who �hates america� that doesn�t wear a tea-towel. There are obviously huge parts of America to hate (and I do!) but neither I nor domesticated actually hate America or Americans. Just certain aspects of the culture and a few of the people. like all the retard conspiracy theorists.
