Airbrushing history

that is wicked looking... straight from the game graphics it seems... the weathering looks very good... atm i am sitting on the laptop of my wife... so later on i need to look at it again on my pc.. laptops are crappy...

the mitten joke escaped me slightly... is it about the gak on your finger on that pic or that you use rotten green


cheers, vik

its a line from the last debate vik.

Yep, ol Mitt can't keep track of his own lies anymore, since he's told so many. He is absolutely guilty of trying to airbrush history, and the President called him on this in some hilarious ways.

Obama: “I think Governor Romney maybe hasn’t spent enough time looking at how our military works. You mention the Navy, for example, and that we have fewer ships than we had in 1916. Well Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets. Because the nature of the military has changed. … The question is not a game of battleship or counting ships, it’s what are our capabilities.”

How is it possible that I have more knowledge of modern 21st Century warfare than the Republican (pro-war) candidate?

Love, love, love it.

brilliant!!! i think obama should win allready for trashing mittens sorry behind... how can someone waste all that (from other peeps) hard earned money, to get NOT-elected for president? if that can of worms is in fact getting elected... i fear for the rest of the world... romney will probably nuke europe because he can´t spell find asia on the globe...


on a totally unrelated note... had a look again at your recent pics... man... whatever you are taking to get this good with painting... don´t you dare ever stop... those pills sure make you gain extra prowess in painting!!!

LOL, maybe Paintats?

Mitt has no idea of even middle-school geography:
ROMNEY: "Syria is Iran's only ally in the Arab world. It's their route to the sea."

THE FACTS: Iran has a large southern coastline with access to the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. And it has no land border with Syria.

That is really the elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about. These campaigns cost Billions of dollars that could be better spent in a billion better ways, but 11% of Americans actually believe Obama is a Muslim, and not a US Citizen despite plenty of empirical evidence to the contrary, they just keep making gak up. The more truthful facts you enlighten them with, the more craziness they make up.

you americans never cease to frighten/ amaze/make me feel sorry (delete whatever you deem not fitting) ...

You and me both bud!!

The only thing I can guess is that the fact that he is black is not enough to hate him, it is the reason, but most Americans are too afraid to be honest about their bigotry, so I think they feel justified in hating him if they believe he is a Muslim..I dunno.

yup.... in fact i still marvel at the long livity of obama.... when he got elected i silently counted the days when he would get killed by some weirdo... and i was proven wrong...??? well... the main question we have to ask ourself is... who will get in line after obama? and if romney then competes again... will the rebullicans win because there will be no obama then? that is quite frightening...!!!

Every 4 years it's the same dance, the same shifting of power, not just the President's seat, but the Congress and the Senate too. left , right, left, right

honestly? i think the US could do with a long term dictatorship that save money... stays warmongery the same way as ever and gives the rest of the world a face that doesn´t change so often.... look at france... italy or well for that matter germany... we all had our lil pocket tyranns for manny years... even the UK iron lady... you had back then something to rely on (even if it was something horribly )

Hey!! Enough politics!...Politics lead to war..and we all know
War......war never Changes.

Today is
International Fallout Day!!

October 23, 2077: "The Great War"

After decades of feuding over the world's resources, the breaking point is finally reached. No one knows who the first one was to press the button, but in the space of roughly two hours on October 23, 2077, nuclear arsenals across the world are emptied as nations effectively destroy one another in a single, collaborative action. The long years of needless death and destruction in a fight to control Earth's resources are made futile as society comes crashing down in less time than it takes to watch the average movie. The survivors refer to this man-made apocalypse as "The Great War."

I stumbled across this today and it made me laugh and hold my breath in shock at the same time.

on a not really funy and not really related note.... my six year old son asked me today....:papa...what do you want us to put on your tombstone? (we´ve watched a movie where this guy placed a flower on a tombstone for someone...) that really brought a tear to my eye...

Did you say "Rivets"?

mates... you should do yourself a treat and watch a german dubbed something of chuck... really... if that is his original voice... how on eath could that guy ever get that famous? he sounds like kermit the frog... regardless of what he is saying....

yep, that's how he sounds Vik! LOL

I have no idea how to explain his logic here, other than perhaps just a LOT of uninformed voters? I dunno

you definatly need to do something about your school system... maybe reinitiate the use of whips?

Pretty much.

Possibly. I'd say reinstate Civics as a core subject myself.

paddles vik we are a good wholesome country (wow i almost said that with a straight face )

I'd say reinstate Civics as a core subject myself.

i think that would be a good move... here in germany we also have a course that´s called "life skills" which also features different religions and wolrd views... always helpful to understand your neighbor... better always than shooting him

that was called "Contemperary History" or "Social Studies" here. Civics was speciffically about how the govt and society was supposed to work. (how to be a good citizen, who was responsible for what issue, etc)

We are all required to take a US Government class in high-school, I didn't learn gak from it really.

You guys really have no clue, people are saying things like this today:

"Traditionally when the communist conquer a country one of the first groups they round up and shoot are the teachers, which means they will finally end the teachers union death hold on the DNC. So it isn't all bad."

So, somehow Unions are now all evil, teachers all deserve to die, and the typical uneducated "Pinko Commie" crap from the 1950s is being regurgitated. Is it simply because they are stupid? Or is it because they just grab onto whatever rhetoric that justifies their anger/hatred/bigotry and refuse to become more knowledgeable?

Its certainly something anyway.

I don't get it..it all seems too surreal to be real.

Uneducated masses are easier to rule.

ugh...we can fix that entire problem with mutual respect one person at a time. Perhaps replace 19th century ideas of loyalty to king and country with respect for other people and screwing another person over is punishable by death, and You've got the basis for the Dave empire!
