    What do you mean "get any worse"? There are 6 billion fucking people in the world. If you read the news, you are going to read fucked up shit every single day.

    That ain't SHIT compared to what goes on every day in plenty of other places.

    My point: quit talking about, because that's half the problem.

    Totally agree root. I was just thinking about that last night while seeing some of the OK tornado stuff. We just see and hear FUCKING EVERYTHING now. I think bad shit has always happened- now there's just more people and much faster and more access to news about it. We didn't used to get video of a meat clever attack in London within 10 minutes of it happening.

    Of course, we ignore the fucked up shit in non-western places because we don't care about non-western places or people. That's just the hard truth.

    Yep they've already met.

    And eventually decided who was going to put the kettle on in time for their next meeting.

    You have to feel most sorry for Anderson Cooper. He's going to need roller skates at this rate of over the top "IT HAPPENED HERE!" disaster coverage

    If that guy was talking into the smart phone device in Somalia I would agree. BUt this is news because the pysco is doing Somalia shit in London, machete and all. Sort of like a Tornado in Manhattan. Just weird.

    pretty sad that such an 'enlightened' country disarms their citizens so they can't even defend themselves against some pansy with a scimitar. Molon Labe motherfuckers! Yeah, poli asshat, I know... but every UK citizen should either be issued a personal bobby or allowed to arm themselves.

    Seriously anyone advocating tooling up the population of South London in order to reduce violent crime.

    ....Hasn't spent anytime in South London.

    Last I saw both attackers were being detained at separate London hospitals and being treated for gunshot wounds?

    The good news is that they can be questioned by police and some background to this might come to light.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Tim_McLean

    you don't want to fall asleep on a greyhound bus eh, a boring drive for sure but I didn't think it was boring enough to drive someone that crazy ?

    if you are going to worry about every bad thing you read you might as well just end it all now

    Or just plain ol fucking nuts?

    I will echo the poster who seemed unsurprised to hear this. News flash, right now someone is raping their prepubescent kid, someone is selling their kids into slavery, someone is eating their own childrens meat, etc.

    I really don't know how Cono gets up in the morning. Maybe he doesn't.

    So...I've wondered about this a few times (something's wrong with me obviously)...but do you think a decapitated head can still think for a while? 10-15 seconds, maybe?

    That would be a weird feeling I bet.

    I imagine it'd be like, "Hey, I didn't notice that body when I got here. Sleeepy...."
