I should think spending a zillion dollars to send those guys as representatives of the US, they could have bought them a prettier truck.

War is a Racket was a really interesting find, bruce. As was It’s All About Scale. That blew my mind.

It's scary that was written about 80 years ago and it hasn't changed, except, like you say, the size of the numbers.

In recent years with a full time military and drones/robots, the average citizen is far removed from the battles. The costs in humans is only late night ads for wounded warriors, unless some kid from your neighborhood gets hurt. Even then, it's only physical hurts, the mental hurts aren't talked about unless a tragedy happens.

So the contractors who own the congress critters, keep raping the coffers and Mr Citizen doesn't even know there's a war going on. Oh yeah, there was something on the news, but I was trying to tune in the ball game.

Tennessee man admits to stealing boss’ truck to get arrested and away from wife.

Gravdigr · 10-05-2015, 03:31 PM

I can top that.

I was locked up in Tennessee with a fellow, and his brother. One night their third brother came strolling into the dayroom wearing the orange jail get up. Both brothers jumped his ass about getting thrown in jail. They gave him a pretty hard time. Finally, they asked what he did. He had thrown a series of bricks/rocks through a series of downtown shop windows, with the plan of getting thrown in jail.

Why, you may ask, did he wish to be in jail? Missed the fam, perhaps? No.

He was hungry. (If you came in after the late meal (supper) is served, they gave you a sammich and a soda to hold you til breakfast.)

Thanks, Jim.

The link in post #3157 should have lead you to 5 Laws That Made Sense On Paper, But, Were Disasters In Reality, instead.

Apologies.

I'm not sure if a moderator would want to bother with deleting or correcting my mistake, post #3157, but, if one did...

Anybody wanna buy a ~~watch~~, uh, chronograph?

It's a Bulova.

Some guy named Dave wore it while driving some funky little car around some place. Oh yeah, it was The Fucking Moon!

Bidding starts at $50,000.

No No No, the mods don't save you from embarrassing fuckups.

Amazing Aussie Doctor reattaches a baby's head.

Quote:

Jackson had suffered what doctors refer to as an internal decapitation - the force of the 70mph crash broke his C1 and C2 vertebrae, separating his head from his neck.

"A lot of children wouldn't survive that injury in the first place, and if they did and they were resuscitated then they may never move or breathe again," Dr Geoff Askin told Australian news channel 7 News Melbourne.
He said that Jackson’s condition was the worst injury of its kind that he’d seen.
