This is my thread

People are complaining that the Aurora shooting got so much more national attention in the news, on social media, etc., but the Sikh temple shooting didn't get enough.
They're blaming it on racism. Whatever.

I have noticed, since the VT shootings, that shit like this usually happens in threes. College campus attacks? Lauren Burk at Auburn, the shooting at NIU, and that UNC girl that was killed all happened within two months of each other. Now these shootings with Aurora and now the Sikh temple....I'm waiting for the the third and final act in this.

It's like these attacks trigger people that are dormant killers to finally come out and do their own shenanigans.

It's already happened. Elton John completely lost it and called Madonna a cunt.

A sassy homosexual male isn't that big of news.

I'm surprised it hasn't been posted here or anywhere on the board, but Curiosity has landed on Mars without a problem.
It may not seem like it, but it's a pretty big deal.

We don't talk about important things in here no more

 

[ARon]

We do, just not in this thread.

Is it true that NBC didn't broadcast the 100m final live?

And that they cut the 7/7 terrorism tribute too?

Haven't watched much, so I dunno. But I'd be surprised if 30% of Americans even know what the 7/7 attacks were.

Plane crash from the cockpit.

Wasn't that when Drake and his entourage threw 7-Up/Seagrams 7 drinks at Chris Brown?

 

[Flipmo]

Terrifying.

If they were up any higher and took a dive, they probably wouldn't have made it.
Also... is it me or did the guy run out of runway? Looks like he tried to push the envelope instead of making a safe decision to stop.

 

[ARon]

I about to go EDouble(fucking crazy) if the Lakers give up Bynum and Gasol for Dwight Howard. Fuck that

 

[dilla]

A plane crash video should be no more than two minutes long. Not seven minutes. I'm not wading through that shit.

 

[ARon]

It says when it starts in the description. It wasn't that good of a vid

lol. It wasn't. That is true.

What were you guys expecting? Guts all over the windows and a severed dick hanging off the propeller?

 

[ARon]

You ever see that Seinfeld episode when Jerry starts bootlegging movies and films it from different angles and shit? That's what the fuck I was expecting. Not video of a camera flailing around and not being able to recognize shit. I can recreate that film by dropping a camera in a backpack and shaking it around, fuck out of here

What do you mean it may not seem like it? It's a huge fucking deal.

I don't remember that episode at all, ever.

I, personally, know that it is. I stayed up and watched the landing. lol.
Just for some (and by 'some' I mean comments I've read online, and overheard in pubs) they see it as just 'another probe/rover'.

I've seen that vid, great stuff.

Any chance you can direct me to a link of the live footage? I was on site and working so I missed it . I was pretty upset about that. I'd like to wind up in planetary sciences when I'm an old fogey.

I know what ya mean, I heard a guy describe it as a bunch of math nerds jerking off over nothing. I was like no wonder you're overweight and drive a truck for a living.
