Awesome/Funny NS quotes (not your own quotes, please)

[Chestaan]

Now someone being attacked for a different taste in music is classified as a "hate crime"? Really? If I was attacked I could simply claim the assailant attacked me for my taste in classical music. Besides, whoever would attack another for such a minor reason as taste in music cannot be mentally stable in the first place.

well, i imagine you'd have be identifiable. like you dress up as mozart everyday or some shit. then someone stamped your head in and killed you for being a "total mozartfag". then yeah you could probably claim that was a hate crime.

Purely for the awesomeness of the term "mozartfag".

Question: Seeing that modern combat is nowhere near as brutal or up close of that of times gone by, do you reckon charging a bunch of soldiers butt-nekkid would be more effective than if you had been covered up like a Heretic? I know I wouldn't want to be raped by a naked guy holding a rifle.

Surely the "Breeze between your knees mean the enemy flees" idea must still be in effect even after multiple millennia. Those Greeks weren't fools when it came to war.

...I thought I had seen it all in this thread.

But the tactical implications of full frontal nudity is, admittedly, a new one.

But Bill Clinton jokes are too easy

Not the first time Bill Clinton and easy have appeared in a sentence together.

[Schmiegelland]

The best one I have.

The idea of Pakistan, India and Bangladesh reuniting is about as logical as the idea that Barack Obama will kill his wife, marry Ahmadinejad in a ceremony officiated by Mitt Romney during the 7th Inning Stretch of the Yankees-Red Sox game, and then the happy couple will then go challenge President Xi for the position of General Secretary of the CCP in a gladiatorial fight to the death involving roaches, slingshots, and hard candies.

This....is.....priceless!

I remember being informed that it's a foot long or something like that.

[Maklohi Vai]

What do I look like?

Like the love child of Wesley and Princess Buttercup if it was eaten by one of those androgynous "Ack! Ack!" Martians from Mars Attacks. Possibly wearing a blood red, velvet curtain-mumu with evilly, shoulder spikes and a Ming the Merciless collar.

How is this sexist?

IF YOU COMPLIMENT A WOMEN, YOU ARE DEGRADING HER, YOU SEXIST.

[Big Jim P]

In a free society, it is up to those who would stop people from owning things to show why there is an overwhelming reason to prevent people from owning something. We do not (yet) live in a marxist society where the government bureaucrats decide what we "need", as in "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need".

Thus far, I have not seen a single convincing argument for the banning of semi-automatic sporting rifles. I don't have to justify why I "need" one. Rather, it is up to those who would take them away to articulate exactly why they "need" me to NOT own one.

It's certainly not a matter of preventing murders. According to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Statistics, (a nonpartisan unbiased report that the FBI releases periodically) and more specifically their Expanded Homicide Data Table #8, there were a total of 12,664 murders committed in 2011 (the last year reported.) Of those, ALL RIFLES accounted for 323 total murders, or 2.55%. Of those, semi-automatic rifles are only a subset, and AR-15s are an even narrower subset of the semi-auto category.

For comparison, 6,220 (49.1%) people were murdered with handguns, 1,694 (12.8%) were murdered with knives or cutting instruments, 728 (5.74%) were murdered Personal weapons (hands, fists, feet, etc.) and 496 (3.91%) were murdered with blunt objects.

LINK TO SOURCE

AR-15s are currently the best selling rifle in the United States and, possibly, the most popular firearm overall. Its popularity is driven by such factors as its looks, notoriety, ergonomics, low recoil, accuracy and the ease with which it is customized. They are in common use by target shooters, hunters, competitors, collectors, and home defenders. There are dozens if not hundreds of manufacturers building AR-pattern rifles, and you are just as likely to find it in someone's gun closet as any other firearm. Perhaps more so in most cases.

And yet, despite its widespread popularity, these rifles are used to commit only a tiny percentage of crimes on any given year. Though they've been used in a number of high-profile shootings, such shootings are a statistical anomaly, and while tragic, do not provide a representative sample of the overall trend of violence in this country. The numbers show that if you are going to be murdered, the weapon used is HIGHLY unlikely to be an AR-15.

Speaking of violence trends, lets look at the trend of DECREASING violence in the United States.

Again using the FBI as a source, LINK TO SOURCE let's look at the violent crime states over the last 20 years.

In 1992, we had a violent crime rate of 757.7 per 100,000 citizens, and a murder rate of 9.3 per 100,000. Those numbers have dropped steadily over time until in 2011 (the last year reported) they had reached 386.3 and 4.7, respectively.
That's a total reduction of 49% in violent crime and 49.4% in murder over the past two decades.

So we can plainly see that violent crime and murder are on a sharp decline in this country, and yet, there are those out there who are trying to make it sound as if we're in the midst of an epidemic, and that we need to cede our rights "for the good of the children."

"For the good of the children." Of course. After all, if you don't support these measures, you're a TERRORIST baby-killing psychopath. ...Sound familiar at all? It's called fear-mongering. More generally, it's called manipulation.

If those who have leveraged the deaths of the children in Newtown to further their own agenda on gun control put the same level of enthusiasm and energy behind, say... improving school security, or taking a closer look at crisis protocols for these situations, or otherwise attempting to make our schools safer places, we might MIGHT actually see a reduction in these sorts of tragedies.

If they put their efforts behind improving the poverty levels and unemployment levels in their communities, or improving education in their problem cities, they might see a reduction in overall violent crime in those areas.

But no, they say. If we staff our schools with police officers, they're just "funnel children, especially minorities, out of school and into the corrections system. That's unconstitutional."

And, as we all know, there's no fame or glory in slowly improving the quality of living in your district. No, these politicians need to do something RIGHT NOW! It has to be something VISIBLE! DRAMATIC! The people need to see that they're DOING SOMETHING! LOOK!

And so, they're pushing policies that are unenforceable without infringing on basic civil liberties.
Policies that invade the already-dwindling privacy we enjoy.
Policies that contribute to the steady erosion our rights have seen since the beginning of the war on terror.
Policies that will do NOTHING to control violent crime or deter mass shootings.
Policies that we've ALREADY TRIED IN THE PAST, and which we allowed to sunset, since they didn't serve their intended purpose.

...But they feel good. At least, they feel good for people whose rights aren't on the chopping block. That's what matters, I suppose. They feel good, and they're good career moves, if they can spin them in a positive light.

In a comment that would surely have led to any Republican being metaphorically reduced to atramentous rubble, Barack Obama lauded a female attorney general by the name of Kamala Harris for being "brilliant and...dedicated...tough…by far, the best looking attorney general."

What I want to know is, what will the consequences of his remarks be? Will they equal the outrages that ensued after Romney's binder gaffe or the "war on women"? No man should ever judge a professional woman based on looks. I hope the media will take him to task for this and give him hell.

Clicking on this thread, I thought that I was about to be treated to a list of unsolicited movie links.

(Thread title was "Obama's sexist comment")

But here's the the question: what drives you to follow an NSG debate more than, say, a debate on MSNBC, or Faux News?

Because a debate on MSNBC would just have all but one person accusing the dissenting voice of being a fundamentalist genocidal Hitler wannabe, whereas on Faux you get all but one person accusing the dissenting voice of being a gay anti-American terrorist fascist Hitler wannabe, at least here you've got roughly equal numbers of people accusing the other side of being horrendously hateful and insane Hitler wannabes and a few actual Hitler wannabes to point out why both sides are stupid for calling each other Hitler wannabes.

OMG, NWG, you've discovered the Evicted Business-Industrial Complex conspiracy, runned and operated by greedy capitalists demising the end of America and freedom as we know it!

I'm sure the officer mentioning that: “There is the potential to have people fighting and causing problems,” had nothing to do with it at all. I mean it's not like people have ever fought over stuff.

But yes, NWG. Yes. This is clearly a reflection on all American capitalism, in it's entirety.

In other news a black guy stole a car, therefore all black people must be thieves.
