Hey Europe, thanks for the memories. Totally funny.
Love,
some American asshole on FB who never fought in the military at all, let alone bombed Europeans. Or backpacked in Europe for that matter.
Wow. Asking "How is interfering in the internal affairs of Vietnam on behalf of the French fighting for my freedom?" leads to thread deletion, apparently.
Here's the other thing too.
When someone says something that's clearly wrong and you call them out on it, suddenly you're picking on them and trying to make them look dumb with your theories. And you bear them no ill will until they say shit like that.

AND THANKS FOR CLEARING UP THOSE NAZIS AND ALL, BUT IF YOU WEREN'T DOING IT SO PEOPLE COULD LIVE THEIR LIVES, WHY
WERE YOU DOING IT?
Regret the context is people somehow think bombing is funny and doesnt see why its kinda messed up. People dont like being wrong but pointing out that someone is wrong isnt necessarily the intellectual equivalent of one monkey trying to assert its dominance over another. But thats not how they see it. No youre trying to make them look stupid. No one makes you look stupid but yourself. Im also seeing a disheartening trend in advocating violence even if its casual violence.

Yes. Recently I read a lot about Breaking Bad, and the main character's wife, Skyler, gets a lot of flack from people.... but recently I noticed this moved fromt he character to the actress, with people saying they'd like to "shoot her in the head and leave her in a ditch." I understand that this is hyperbole for most people, but still... whiskey tango foxtrot?

Violence as machismo is nothing new. The only difference is that on FB, hundreds of millions of armchair Real Men have a voice to bray their fantasies at you.

If its for fun you may as well have been fighting for them.
Regret if youre asking context on the nam thing i said war isnt something to laugh about just ask a vet and them it was my dad fought in nam for your freedom. Last time someone fought for my freedom was in the eighteenth century since im white and male. And i wasnt even alive then.

The last time anyone fought for American freedom was 1814.
The last time anyone fought for freedom in America, it was some guy named Pocatello.

Point. Anyway the comeback to my question was how is villager able to date me with all of my theories. I merely stated its not a theory its a historical fact. After that the thread got deleted.

Yeah. At the very least its someone i cant really hold a conversation with. If someone is that clearly insecure in their intelligence that they have to resort to ad hominems and saint you as an insufferable brain bully then true communication becomes impossible.

This pic is old and thus uncool, you suck. (Srs)
It's a joke, ffs! The old guy's face is what makes it. I laughed my ass of the first time I saw it, cos it's funny. It's not politically correct or historically accurate, which is good because those two things are rarely ever as funny as taking the piss.

Yup. Our cattle are being stolen as we speak. Luckily they all have the Pentabarf brand and only dispense whiskey from their teats so everyone will know where they came from anyway.
:lulz:
I think he's trying to steal us.
I'd hate to think of what Pent would do all penned up though. Personally, I think it's a poorly thought plan.
Plus, you know the penalty for cattle rustling is...
