Anonymous Coward User ID: 1508876 United States 11/26/2012 09:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Christ, I ran into a guy from high school at Woodland Hills in Tulsa. He was a basketball and baseball player, ran track with me one year. He is married to some twentysomething dipshit and he was making fun of the scar under my and my son's cheek. Quoting: DarthDickheadus:AmericanSith "Look they, match honey." According to a former schoolmate, he is now 'metrosexual'. "I heard you still do a little boxing. Aren't you going to grow up?" He actually asked me that! I just shrugged and replied, "Well, it's Muay Thai. It's kickboxing." His wife commented on my Hobart welding ball cap, she said, with a smart ass tone, "That hat looks like it's seen better days. You know they have a ball hat store in the mall." Without missing a beat, I said, "Nah, they just sell those flat brimmed 'gangsta' wanna-be hats, this one will do me another ten, fifteen years." They both just sort of stared at me blankly. The rest of the conversation was as shallow as a wading pool at waterpark. Good luck with shaving your chest hair and your mani/pedis, Trent. They were probably there for the Victoria secret rush in. You should have clocked his ass. - a fellow okie |
Hitndahedfred User ID: 8963735 United States 11/26/2012 09:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Do you guys think teens in this country would be just like in the movie made in 84 or the remake? Or would they all still be eating their fast food and playing with their video games? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1480829 ------------------------------------------------------------ I do believe I can pretty much guarantee that the youngns I know,,, would be out there doing their part. They know whats going on. And yes,, they ARE packed to the gills with NICE firepower. They learned to handle weapons from us old heads and have rediscovered the joys of things that go BANG quite nicely. They LOVE FREEDOM and their country. God forbid whoever comes and messes with us. Each time a person stands for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he or she sends forth a tiny ripple of hope. And crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. Few are willing to embrace the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change.

Quoting: david 16910407 and some would falter. i have worked side by side with several generations of teens now. the kids are the same. the times have changed. I agree. There are many fine young people who would put themselves at risk to preserve their communities. We all breathe the same air. .-.. --- ...- . / .- .-.. .-.. |

But then will have to stop and facebook about what is happening outside LOL |

Depends on how they were raised,values,morals,etc. Although without some form of basic training,they wont lasy very long... Quoting: GunnyJoe That sounds about right. The 1/4 will actually be from the suburbs. The country kids are still raised to hunt with high powered rifles, and could become a formidable guerilla force. The city thugs will be wiped out PDQ, even if they are armed, because they have no survival skills, beyond thievery and looting. |

The boys wearing tight sissy pants, look like little delicate flowers. The girls would simply submit to whoever if it meant free SEX.. Naw we are in real trouble. Not all kids are like above but enough of them to not be reliable. Farm kids are still our only hope, yet for some reason they don't get the kudos they deserve. Obama and company were even trying to keep them from working on their family farms and ranches when a public outcry put that crap to a stop. |

But I went hunting with a co-worker last weekend and his son (9 years old) already knows how to run the WHOLE farm by himself. I didn't think kids like that existed any more. There is hope. Kids like that live everywhere where Im at. My cousins4 Sons know how to run their hog farm, go hunting every year and are fishing little fools! Their mo M only gives them 4 hrs per week on xbox!!! |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1480829 I truly believe that they would surrender to their own deaths rather than actually doing anything.Most now want the world, but only if it is given to them. They do NOT want to put forth the effort to even save their poor miserable lives, because it doesn't really matter, you can't do anything about it. You've never seen how much work goes in to drug and weapons trafficking. Not even the most powerful military in the world can put a dent in that. And it's mostly done with teenagers. Things change when the only people you "trust" constantly have a gun in your face. If "the most powerful military in the world" wanted to put a dent in it, they would. Nothing says cut that shit out like a cluster bomb. The drug trade is "allowed" to exist |

The schools don't teach them anything useful, and without a cell phone, they are lost. Call of duty doesn't teach anyone anything. It will be the 20-30 yr olds that lay down the law. We watched our parents fuck everything up and we are watching the younger generation get fucked. We are the only ones angry enough and physically capable to take what is rightfully ours "AMERICA." If Russia were to invade, I hope you have your "FPS RUSSIA" t-shirt. Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow, you may die. |

But then again, one thing is struggling against few rebels in Middle East and do the fight against millions in Russia or China. |

First wake up from the film industry hypnose to the reality you are living in neo-fascist AmeriK with fascist police and a Muslim leader who was never American. Then you can day dream about kicking Asian asses. BTW, Hollywood is already being bought by Chinese piece by piece in case you ignore that! |

Cause unlike the rest of the pussy ass nations on earth our people are the biggest military in the fucking world and we'll rain lead showers on any opponent stupid enough to step up to the plate. When you say Russians and Chinese could be wiped out clean by USA it's a statement based upon imagination and bravado brainwashing young soldier crap and NOT in facts. That's why USA shit and never ever dared to attack former USSR but kept the things "cold" during decades and even now as so-called champions of democracy has never attacked China either. Even Vietnamese kicked you out in the same way Russia was unable to fight with their choppers against people from Afganistan. Your power lies only in militar power and that's it. So, the air force pilots receive orders to bomb children at hospitals, so much corage on behalf of false democracy. Wake up, idiot, your police is armed to the teeth to OBLITERATE your own country fellow men citizens!!!! Neo-fascism in your own country under your very nose. |

Your corage depends on 'gimme guns, gimme guns, gimme guns'... Well, when those guns get caught like in Russia from about 1918, taken from the people, we'll see how far that courage goes. I wonder if there are American snipers sneaking around B u $h family or the Rottenschilds or the ones running the world. |

There is hope. thats great to hear I have mixed feelings...I believe some are prepared and understand, others would realize what is happening and would learn on the fly I don't write off anyone, because until the moment arises and you see your own family, friends and home in danger will you know how you'll react but I fear there are also those who actually believe communism is great, that the USSR was a wonderful idea, and those have been organized to use such an invasion to rise up and try to implement their view of a revolution I truly hope I'm wrong, but I have followed some online, read their youtube, their blogs, their discussion, so I could understand I look to see how they could be making such comments, and see they are often gamers, anti-war, anti=fascism and they are idealistic but their idealism has been subverted but this is all just idle talk regarding a scenario which hopefully will never come to pass |
