Where would i buy a Dildo that big? I looked for a long time, but i could never find a place to buy these things. Longest thing i ever found was a 18 Inch Double dildo. I really want it with a grip and balls at the end. Like a Baseball Bat.

Well we all still know if it'd been a plane full of Europeans on 9/11, 9 "unarmed" men wouldn't have been able to hijack a plane of 300+

They've done similar things in the past. During Operation Entebbe, terrorists hijacked a plane from Tel Aviv, landed in Entebbe, Uganda, and planned to trade the passengers for 40+ Palestinian militants.

Watch the movie United 93. It was the plane meant to be crashed into the white house, but it crashed in a field in Pennsylvania It is believed from phone calls out of the plane that they discovered the plot and lead an attack on the cockpit attempting to retake the plane in which they failed, but succeeded in thwarting an attack that would have killed many more.

Before 9/11 no one even thought of crashing planes into buildings. The passengers probably figured it was just going to be some ransom or money exchange somewhere. sadly this was not the case.

The fact that due to no guns this was a rare incident and when other people didnt have guns and he did, the matter was resolved with little harm done to anyone?

First off I'm American. Second, if something like this were to happen in the US and it was a French person, or German, or Italian, or whatever, this is the last thing I would think about. I would be too busy thinking that this person saved American lives. It's not a cause to rub in anyone's face, it's an act of bravery and it should be acknowledged.

I should probably use the unofficial opinion meme for this but i dont have it saved and who the **** cares.

I don't think violence should be celebrated or liked in ANY scenario. It comes useful and even necessary often, but it should be treated as a necessary evil rather than something great and desirable.

These people were of course completely within their rights to **** that guy up, but i'd much rather read a story where they only restrained him.

If that man is deranged enough to open fire on innocents, he will never be sane enough not to. He deserves all up to and including death. I will agree you should not relish in hurting as in torture, but celebrating the violent downfall of a would be mass shooter is perfectly acceptable.

i completely agree that he deserves all that you said he does, but the less violence you use to subdue him, the less you stoop to his level. I think the bravery of those men should be celebrated, as well as the fact that the shooter DID get subdued, but not the WAY he got subdued.

I also have no idea why people are getting mad at me for saying violence is bad when the whole content is praising people that stopped more violence from happening.

I didn't read your whole convo/debate/argument with the other person(s) but I will say it's more convenient and safer to knock him out rather than restrain him since it's highly likely they didn't have anything to restrain him with. I agree violence shouldn't be praised, because it's not. Their bravery and heroism is what's being praised. You're acting like the media and adding controversial **** where there shouldn't be. Nobody is reading the story and thinking "good thing this guy got his ass kicked" it's more along the lines of "nobody innocent was killed/innocent people were saved"

Don't reply to me because I won't be coming back to read it.

Jesus Christ ... you ******* irate me so much that I don't even ******* bother to read the rest of your nonsense because you ******* make me do a morning workout thx for that

"The less violence you use to subdue him, the less you stoop to his level"
"We shouldn't celebrate the way he was stopped"

God, I ******* hate people like you. Always acting like you can argue with everyone and all the people on this world. I bet you are against the death penalty and don't have a problem when some teenager, that has robbed like a dozen people and stabbed half of 'em, only gets two years of probation instead of having to do a full year of hard, physical labour because he "just didn't know better" or whatever the **** ******** people like you come up with. Take off those pink heart-shaped glasses for a moment kiddo.

There are enough ******* out there that would kill you simply for disagreeing with them and you spout nonsense like "Hurr durr, we should politely ask a ******* gunman, who's about to shoot up the god damn ************* place to stop, drop and roll before handing over the guns and make him think about why his actions were wrong. And after that, we may add him, his family and his camel on Facebook".

In the eyes of people like this guy, your mindset is simply considered "being weak" and they view it as a ******************************* because their **** goes unpunished because of goody two-shoes like you that would prolly offer some ********** their sister after he hit you in the face for looking at him. You probably think that the "Sharia-Police" that is going on in parts of Germany is a good thing, too.


People like you are the only ones on this planet that I wish to lose a family member or two to these subhuman beings. God, I wish you would see them die before your very own eyes when the thought "B-but ... THAT'S ILLEGAL!! WHY AREN'T THEY OBEYING OUR LAWS LIKE GOOD CITIZENS?!?" rushes through your mind. But I could bet money you would still go like "It was because of their religion of peace and blablablaaa".

"...the power to cause pain is the only power that matters, the power to kill and destroy, because if you can't kill then you are always subject to those who can, and nothing and no one will ever save you.”

The harsher the end to those that attempt things like this, the more likely someone is going to second guess their choice to do so. If a man kills a hundred people and gives himself up and lives his life out peacefully, even if it is in a prison, then there is no real repercussion.

Killing them won't bring back the dead, but it may prevent more senseless deaths.

It doesnt really have to be that way. The quote you used is pretty much ''kill or be killed'' or rather ''be able to kill or be killed'' which is really cynical way of looking at the world. Also i once again agree with you that harsh punishment obviously prevents other people from doing the same crime, but that doesnt mean it should be looked at like its a good thing that we are doing this. You could torture the criminal and hang his body parts on the streets to prevent people from doing that **** but i think we can agreee that, well, you shouldnt. Same goes with punishing with violence or death, it works, but the violence is still morally negative and should be looked at like its bad.

It's a case of punishment fitting the crime. Should you hang a thief? of course not.

The quote is about being capable.
If someone wants something they will take it unless something prevents it.
I want a million dollars and, if my morales weren't as they are, I can simply take it if I am willing to use more force than the other party.

If your escalation of force ends at a billy club, sooner or later someone is going to show up with a gun and you are powerless to stop them.

It is an unfortunate reality, but a reality none the same.

Thats not what im agruing against, i said i agree with you on that, but that doesnt make violence good. Even bad things are sometimes necessary, but that doenst make them any less bad. Also don't you think that looking at violence, ANY violence, as a good thing might make people be more violent even when it not necessary?

Violence is sudden and tragic. I'm a soldier and it's never my first choice. There is a difference between violence used to prevent and intervene and violence employed for your own gain.

I can never see the same people that are happy to hear the condition of the gunman to applaud the use of violence for personal or corporate gain.

Violence is a tool. It's shocking in nature. How you employ it makes a difference.
And as a society we celebrate violence in tv, film, video games all the time, but does that make those that enjoy the entertainment more violent? I wouldn't say so.

I want to let you know I agree with you! I don't think violence is a neccessary evil cuz "Oh no poor gunman got beaten". Hell no, he was endangering people.

I think it's a neccessary evil because violence corrupts the man using it. Especially those who regularly turn to violence.

In an ideal world there'd be no violence, but that's just a fantasy world.

Violence in and of itself is neither good nor bad. It is a tool. Whether it is called good or bad by society depends on what it is being used for.

Im not upset that people beat up a guy. Im upset that people are celebrating that the guy was beat up rather than the bravery of the men that beat him up or the lives that were saved.

Im not concerned about negative thumbs, its just numbers.

I believe that some expression of violence is necessary to function in today's society. In a controlled environment, such as video games or martial arts sparring, it's an effective, and often fun, way to relieve stress and release any violent urges that build up in a safe environment.

This man had a gun, his intent was to KILL people, and you think these men shouldn't have beat him unconscious? That's just asinine, he DESERVED to get knocked out. If he has the idea that people deserve to DIE, he deserved to get knocked out. "Let me, one man, just hold this conscious, dangerous man who has proven himself to be capable of concealing a weapon down long enough to allow my friend, one man (the one who didn't get sliced), time enough to tie him up with who knows what!" Yeah, that thought DEFINITELY should've gone through their head, rather than "I'm making sure this guy can't do anything more to me or the people on this train."

Which one is quicker mentality-wise and which is quicker physically?

So you're saying he deserved to get knocked out but the violence used shouldn't be celebrated? You can't do that. NO ONE is celebrating the violence, people are celebrating these men for their acts of bravery. Violence exists, it always will. "What is chaos for the fly is normal for the spider." You're just being PC. "He deserved to get knocked out," you agree then. If violence is used for the greater good in our society, which it was, celebrate the **** out of it. Who cares if it's violence if the outcome is morally good?? Violence itself isn't the issue you should be targeting (and you totally are targeting the concept of violence), target the man who CAUSED the necessary violence. Oh wait, he got knocked the **** out because violence was there.

"...but i'd much rather read a story where they only restrained him." Guess what? THEY DID. How? BY KNOCKING HIM THE **** OUT.

How is quoting a piece of sentence that out of context only tells you that someone was beat unconcious with a picture that implies arousal not celebrating violence?

And there is a moral difference between beating someone unconcious and restraining someone with as little violence as possible. I dont like violence and i dont think anyone should LIKE violence , and seeing it in any form with any intention makes me sad. That doesnt mean that there arent situtions where violence is acceptable. Sometimes bad things are necessary, as i've said.

Well, then you're stupid. Already said "what is chaos for the fly is normal to the spider." It makes you sad? Are you THAT BIG of a pussy??? It's existed since the dawn of life! Deal with it, grow up. It exists! EVERYWHERE! You're just choosing what you see, therefor choosing what you're offended at. That's being one of those overly-PC pussies who are trying to change everything because it offends them. Does a fly getting eaten by a spider make you sad? It should according to what you said. Should we starve the spider to rid the violence? Oh wait, that's violent too. You're seriously just claiming you're a pussy now.

What does the fact that violence is everywhere have to do with anything? Just because something happens, doesnt mean it SHOULD happen right?

Also i dont care about political correctness the least bit. Someones opinions are someones opinions, being offended is just violent disagreeing and leads to norhing, but that still has nothing to do with this.

You seem to be implying a lot that i think that what happened shouldnt have happened. Thats not what im saying at all. Im arguing against the act of celebrating violence, not against beating the gunman up. The gunman obviously deserved it.

Flies and spiders have once again nothing to do with the subject. Nobody celebrates when a spider eats a fly. Also are you comparing human-on-human violence to the natural instincts of animals? You do know that humans have the cognitive capabilities to choose their own behaviour as long as we dont get into some trite metaphysical arguement about determinism right?

Also theres something to be said about ad hominems here but i never expected anything less from the funnyjunk comment section.

"Violence is everywhere and has been everywhere for centuries, doesn't mean it should've ever happened in the first place." What does the fact that violence is everywhere have to do with anything? I'll tell you, going back to the ******* fly and spider because there is actually words of wisdom there you're too stupid to see. In every conflict, human or not, there is a fly and a spider. If they avoid the physical conflict, good, there is no fly or spider and you saying it has nothing to do with it would make sense.

AND you're contradicting yourself:

"Just because something happens, doesn't mean it SHOULD happen right? "

"You seem to be implying a lot that I think that what happened shouldn't have happened."

That's all I need, you're SO ******* stupid. I don't need to type anything else because, like I said, you're SO ******* on the fence and you just contradicting your own ideas. I'm not going to argue with someone dumb enough to contradict themselves and try to defend their stance on why they contradict themselves. If you contradict yourself at all in an argument, and you have more than once, you're just a waste of time and your argument means nothing. At this point all you're doing is being a bitch that violence exists within the human race (as it always has), and that people feel good (or your words "celebrating") because three other people used violence for the greater good against a guy using violence for evil. That seriously sums up all you've said.

Im not sure if youre a troll but you seem to be way too elaborate for that.

Those statements you claim to contradict eachother do nothing of the sort.
The first sentence basically means bad things happen in the world all the time. That doesnt make those bad things good. I said that because you for some reason started talking about violence having existed always.
The second statement means you implied that i think that something that happened was bad, which was wrong, as i thought what happened was good or atleast justified .

So basically you think that because bad things happen in the world, i cant have an opinion on whether something is good or bad? There is no contradiction

I am also familiar with the old spider and fly wisdom, but that doesnt apply the way you think it does. If a spider meets a fly, it basically has two options: it eats it, or it lets it go. When three people meet a crazed gunman in a train, they have a lot more options.

Ill try to simplify this a bit here.
In my opinion the three guys that beat up the gunman had enough moral highground to do worse things to the gunman than just knock him out. They could have shot the guy dead and i would have still thought it was justified. But what they did was morally superior to kiling him. Same way, if they used less violence than what they did, it would have been morally superior to knocking him out.

You're blind to your own contradiction, which is EXACTLY what those two statements do. I ALREADY SAID IT TOO, I don't need to waste my time on someone trying to defend their contradiction, yet you're trying.

Lemme break this down for you to actually see it:
"Just because something happens, doesn't mean it SHOULD happen, right?"
Okay, so you think that just because violence happens, doesn't mean it should've happened.

Meaning you think that it shouldn't have happened. Put it in your words in short is:
"Just because violence happens, doesn't mean I think it should happen."

Shorten that just your opinion:
"I don't think violence should have to happen."

Next quote:
"You seem to be implying a lot that I think that what happened shouldn't have happened."
Okay, so let's remove your statement about my implication and negate it because that will be what you actually think then. If not then my implication would've been correct, so it doesn't need to be there to make my point.

So, if we do that, this comes out:
"I think what happened should have happened."

Now let's put those two ideas of yours on top of one another:
"I don't think violence should have to happen."
"I think the violence that happened should have happened."

Looks like a contradiction to me. I shouldn't have to break down your own ideas to you. Actually look into what you said instead of skimming it just so you can try and defend yourself. Yeah, obviously violence doesn't have to happen. It too doesn't happen (i.e. has been avoided) ALL the time since the dawn of life!

In short all I'm saying is commend people for what they actually do, don't belittle them for what they didn't do. No one is morally superior to anyone, morals are based on social construct. The guy who was about to kill a bunch of people probably thought he was morally justified himself, morals are subjective. I don't disagree with you that what they did was "morally superior" to killing him, but we also can't say because we have no idea what true morals even are. You're judging these guys on what they didn't do, commend them on what they did do without having the need to even say "well, they COULD'VE been more morally superior." You just look like an ass.

Oh i see where the confusion is now, you'd be right about this because i did some poor wording there. im not a native english speaker but thats a lousy excuse

The problem is with the ''I think the violence that happened should have happened'' line. I think the violence that happened should be minimized, and if possible eliminated, as the ''I dont think violence should have to happen'' line implies. But i still think that if by a little violence we can stop a lot of violence, thats also good. But the lesser violence we use to stop the violence, the better.

Also im not belittling anyone, as i've said we should celebrate the people that stopped the violence because they were very brave and heroic. Im not saying to these guys ''you shouldnt have punched the guy'' im saying to the commenter that i replied to ''You should have a boner for the bravery, not the punching''

Pretty sure majority of people have that basic of a "moral compass." Pretty sure he was also making a joke by taking the quote and using the synonym of "beat," as masturbation. The main commenter wasn't saying he had a boner over the fact that three dudes punched this guy until he was unconscious, he was making the joke that he has a boner because, using play on words, three men beat / jerked-off a guy until he was unconscious. Get it? It's a joke.

I feel it's important to point out that these were not even our front line troops, this was an airmen and a private in the national guard, they don’t even have specialized hand to hand training. In fact, they usually get **** on be every other echelon of US forces for being soft and neglecting training of even basic unarmed combat skills. Keep that in mind when they did better than the entire French population at stopping terror attacks. Americans are a barbaric and blood thirsty culture of warmongers…. **** yeah

I love that the media kept accidentally reporting them as Marines.
Like the least two exciting branches that get no credit for anything finally get the spotlight and the media just assumes they're Marines.
That had to be frustrating

national guard isn't a branch m8, it has two components that are part of the army and the airforce, respectively

you might be thinking of the coast guard

State militia and state armies are separate from the national guard.
The national guard is a national level reserve military force. The difference is that the national guard is also answerable to a state's governor and can operate within the united states under arms without martial law being declared. But they can also be commanded by the president and are answerable to all the laws and regulations governing US military conduct.

State militias and state armies are something different, they are strictly at the direction of the individual states with no loyalty or requirements beyond that state’s borders. Few states have official state armies, but one of the largest is the Texas Guard.

No, the only way to join the guard is to go through the army because they are army. They are just the force that is suppose to defend the homeland primarily while the active army is an assaulting force. ironically, though, we deploy the guard to fight in foreign lands a lot more than we ever should.

Wrong again. The Air National Guard runs through the Air Force.

And we deploy them not to fight primarily, but usually to cover logistical holes because they're cheaper than sending Active Duty. Like when we have to be an Army of occupation until training the local militia is complete- they can pull security while that's going on.

Trust me when I say that in the long run, it's far cheaper to do all that with them. I get it- in the short run it costs more, but I've looked at the cost/benefit analysis a million times and it's cheaper in the long run to send them to do such basic tasks.

Plus they signed a contract saying that they can be deployed, so **** 'em. I'm not being cruel, I'm in the Army and I've been switching branches and doing the military thing for years. I joined the Navy first because their deployments are simple, and joined Army ROTC second because contracted cadets are non-deployable assets. By the time I finish my Doctorate under a government paycheck, it won't matter if I deploy or not.

"Oh **** , I'm a doctor in Massachusetts".

"Oh **** , I'm a doctor and it's hot and sandy outside. Better cry myself a river real quick."

TL;DR deployments aren't as bad as you think when you love your job. And blah blah being away from your family I only see them on holidays anyways and I'm in a dual military marriage so the wife's already used to it. And no I don't care if "Jodie's got my girl" because hopefully the guy is paying for her date nights so I can buy more video games.

Right now, the gunman's lawyer is claiming it was not an act of terrorism but the man was simply so malnourished he just wanted to rob 'rich people' to buy food. She also claimed he FOUND the gun (an AK-47 and about 250 rounds) in a park in Brussels. She claims he only wanted to use the gun to shoot his way out of the window as a means of escape after robbing people.

-'Finding' a 600 to 1500 dollar gun in a park, instead of selling it using it to go threaten a train filled with middle-class people
-Claiming he was planning on shooting the glass of the train and jumping out as a means of escape. The train goes 300 km/h (roughly 200 m/h).
-Look at the picture, see how 'malnourished' he is?
-He was identified by his fingerprints, seeing as he was known in Spain for preaching about Jihad.

Jesus Christ, can we already reinstate slavery or the death penalty for this kind of sub-human **** ?
