When I talk to someone IRL about similar cases, who take the same stance as CardiB, I ask them to reconsider if the victim in the case was her brother or nephew or a cousin she was at least fairly close to. Much more often than not they'll pause for several seconds and admit they would feel differently if that were the case.
I usually then say, "that shouldn't matter tho. A kid is a kid. Victim X deserves justice as much as your brother or whoever." I almost never bother doing it online because I believe we rarely get the REAL version of that person. It's easier to be a tough guy or vindictive or ultra nice or incredibly mean with your online persona and most refuse to EVER change their mind or, God forbid, admit they were wrong about something.
Personally, I thought this kid deserved Life in prison. No chance at Parole.
Because Roger, Nick, David & Rick's estate no longer own the name, music, or images associated w/Pink Floyd. I expect to see Pink Floyd branded shit for several years to come. Gotta make that $400, 000,000 back somehow. And Sony doesn't even own Publishing rights which are very lucrative.
@acbrom12@RussellMcAlmond@DanCrenshawTX Amen. It's things like his post that make me shake my head. People like that might as well write posts like, "I can't stand the color green, NOBODY likes the color green."
@JerryMDean@JTK2684@OwenShroyer1776 Exactly. I hate when people say its AI. Follow golf and you'd know about the new synthetic "grass" they installed at Augusta for the Masters.
@FYoBiden@ManofTungsten99@madevolution001@BarackObama @kareemah2017 @NASA Social media is the worst. People feel obligated to spout whatever the fuck thought pops up in their tiny brains. It doesn't matter if it's correct or not. I'm certain I'm not saying anything you don't already know, @FYoBiden. It's maddening.
@madevolution001@BarackObama @kareemah2017 @NASA Before you make comments like that, you should do a quick Google search or inquire via an AI engine if the US Space program has produced anything worthwhile for the humans on earth.
DUI Arrest does not equal DUI Conviction. I'm not taking his side - I think they should suspend his license for several years. If he gets caught driving, even sober, arrest him. We need to focus on the facts, not emotions. Maybe he should have 2 prior DUI convictions, but the fact is, he does not.
@Paperboy2009@pinkfloyd I forgot to add...
Since already got the The Wall Excursion Edition box set, there probably isn't anything musically that would appear on a 50th Anniversary edition that we haven't already seen released.
Now that Dave, Roger & Nick sold all of the Pink Floyd masters to Sony Music, I'm sure they will do something for The Wall's 50th Anniversary which would be November 2029. In fact, I would be surprised if we don't see some sort of new Best Of... release soon. Gotta start making that $400, 000,000 back!
What are you talking about? Just because they helped fuel Russiagate and they shit all over President Trump every chance they got that means they don't like him? Ya know. You might be on to something.
Social media is the worst thing that's happened to the US. We just saw one teeny tiny example why that is.
A born loser? You can call him many things, but a "born loser" is not one of them. Born into a wealthy family and quickly became one of the most recognizable names in the world by early 1980s, perhaps sooner. Now, holding the office of President of the United States twice; the second time in a crushing landslide. And a net worth over a billion dollars. Sounds like a big time loser to me. You're a fool. What have you achieved Sheila Naylor. Please, tell us about all your achievements that make you a winner compared to Donald Trump.
If you hate the US Gov't does that automatically mean you hate the Christians, Muslims & Jews of the US? Of course not.
If you hate the Canadian Gov't does that automatically mean you hate the Christians, Muslims & Jews of Canada? Of course not.
If you hate the French Gov't does that automatically mean you hate the Christians, Muslims & Jews of the France? Of course not.
If you hate the Israeli Gov't does that automatically mean you hate the Jews of Israel? You're fucking right it does you racist, antisemitic piece of Nazi shit!!!
Does anyone see a problem here?
I can't speak about the black Berets, but if I may provide a slight edit here, US Special Operation Forces still wear BDUs on occasion. Special Forces and MARSOC are probably the ones who wear it the most. Both spend a lot of time doing Foreign Internal Defense (FID) or training foreign troops in poor nations who still wear Woodland M81 style uniforms. It allows them to blend in.
I've also heard a few years back that Marine Force Recon still wore Woodland M81 style uniforms. I don't know if they still do, but if I had to bet money I would bet that they do occasionally wear BDUs, if they're on a Woodland operation.
Special Operations Forces are given more leeway on this issue. If a Delta unit were preparing for a mission and they said, "That terrain is perfectly suited for BDUs..." there's not a person in JSOC would have the audacity to tell them they can't wear BDUs and must wear the pretty Multicam. If SOF can safely increase their odds of mission success, they're going to do it. Hence, the long hair and beards throughout GWOT.
Finally, Erick Miyares is a retired Operator from the ISA/Task Force Orange. On his appearance on The Team House podcast he told a great story about something he had to do while running a solo mission. He had to do something where there were already many regular US forces fighting and in order to not stand out to enemy or even US Forces, he wore a real Marine Corps uniform to infiltrate - he blended himself in with Marines who were going to that area he was interested in. So, it worked out perfect. When he was done with his Classified mission he switched into a US Army uniform and exfiltrated among the Army troops who were leaving the area. That's some cool shit! I may have had it backwards. Maybe it was Army in, Marines out. I can't remember.
So, you are totally correct in saying that no no SOF units in the American military wear BDUs as a primary uniform. I thought maybe you'd find the other stuff interesting.
@blackoppai2@AftgalleyGreg@BackupJeffx Well, that means that President Trump is actually the leader of all narcotics trafficking, children trafficking, weapons trafficking and so on. That's what MSNOW told me, so it's gotta be true. A network so awful, even the people they pander to refuses to watch them.
@mintflint656@DougAMacgregor The ISRAELIS have worked with the US on bombing campaigns of a SINGLE country, Iran. One. Not more than one. Not all, as you suggest. You seem more interested in "killin' them filthy jooz!" Am I right?
