Love WD. I really enjoy the comics and comparing them as the story goes along, fun show.
Bin Laden dead

Yes, adios usama! I watch Fox news.

The US and showing graphic images is really quite funny. We won’t show actual corpses, which can be pretty unnerving, but primetime tv is chock full of examples of graphic images on those dumb CSI shows and their ilk. I really don’t get it.
Additionally, showing the consequence of war might actually have the unintended effect on public opinion of Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. because of how graphic it is. Seeing dead and mutilated bodies, especially women, children, the elderly, and noncombants would certainly turn most people off from violence. Americans have been pretty darn insulated when it comes to war, with the only examples being acute (yet drastic) a decade ago and another 70 years ago. Very little exposure to that, even in domestic stuff like shootings, accidents, etc. Yet we’re willing to depict that stuff on a nightly soap opera.
And to top it all off, we have an extremely puritanical stance on sex and sexual related images. Not to say that there should be porn everywhere, but we don’t pass something natural like the body or reproduction the same as bashing in someone’s skull or running them over. You can show 90% of the female breast, but as soon as you put a nipple on it, it becomes obscene, even though it nearly is identical to males (well most of them, anyway) besides possibly size (well again, maybe not so different in some) and shape. Had Janet Jackson had a pasty on, nobody would have given a crap…ok, a few would, but still it’s ridiculous, especially when it was bookended by 30 minutes of guys pounding the crap out of each other. I went to France and they had commercials freely showing T&A which I thought was cool because: A) I was seeing T&A B) it certainly couldn’t hurt your sales and C) it really wasn’t that big of a deal. Everyone had seen that before.
As far as bin Laden being dead, I believe it:
- There is a lot more to lose than gain if it’s a lie
- Al Qaeda confirmed it
- There are pics of the other victims at the exact compound identified earlier leaked by a Pakistani official
I mean, if you want evidence for every death announced, then you couldn’t believe any death unless you saw it with you own eyes essentially. Hitler, Stalin, John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Heath Ledger, JFK, etc., etc…

What? The media doesn’t tell the truth all the time? Since when?

BYE BYE OSAMA! WHOOO! USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA

Faux news more like it
-
Wow what a bunch of bleeding hearts.
That’s what’s wrong with America today, you feel BAD for killing the BAD GUY.
What do you think Osama Bin Laden wants from his death? For you to feel exactly like that, sombre. You guys can go ahead and play his game.
As for me…
DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD! Time to cheer in the streets, Good Riddance!
Amen Gargantua! Amen.

I figure he loves his job and you dont need to thank him. In fact he should tank you, man. You american tax-payers pay his wage so he can be there and do what he loves to do. I know because I used to do this stuff myself when I was young, and I was grateful to be send to that kind of places and even get paid to do that stuff, and get medals too. Man, if you do this stuff home in America, you go to jail. Do it in Afghanistan and you get a medal.

A bit edgy, even for a razor. However, based on you English skills it would be a hard sell to convince anyone your know much about North Americans. Mind you, your second language English is pretty darn good, far far superior to my laughable French.

Crunch are you American? Also to dezrtfish we all appreciate what you do. Hopefully with this victory we can be sever al steps ahead of Al Queida (eh not sure the spelling) and even terrorism for that matter.

Hey Pvt. Ryan. I’m Canadian, but my brother and sister both live in California and married Americans and had kids. We talk politics a lot, surprisingly no fights at family reunions.
-
Haha well considering were next door neighbors you’d think Canada and the US would be pretty close. Then again Mexico is a neighbor to. Personally I’d say America, Britain, and it’s former colonies are close as far as nations go. Trace all of our roots back as far as 250 years and it all comes back to the good Ol UK.

Razor, this isn’t a political debate. That being said, I am very aware that I pay his wage and I make sure my voice is heard politically. Nonetheless, soldiers by nature of the profession put their lives on the line, regardless of whether it is right or not. I have no desire to get shot, so I applaud soldiers for their service. Hopefully the taxpayers will have their voices heard for the soldiers sake.

I did a paper once on the Vietnam war, came across a qoute/quip. A soldier returning from the war is confronted by a citizen who asks “Why did you go to war!”, the soldier replied “You sent me, why are you asking me why I went?”
