RAMPAGE FTW

There’s nothing like the good old days so my mother says! We now have toilet paper and we don’t have to run to the shit house when it’s 20 below!

That “everything will be ok” poem is from Fernando Sabino, a brasilian writer.

Thanks Cardoso, That was my favourite one

i’m not one of those “never forget” american flag in the back window of his pickup patriot types, but i am from new york… and i think it’s bad taste to equate september 11th with Y2K and 2012. september 11th wasn’t just some sensationalist media phenomenon–a LOT of good people died. show some respect.

aaron – get over yourself!

ARRON, “terrorism is the war of the poor and powerless, war is the terrorism of the rich and powerful”. Vote republican and continue to be the victum of this sad but factual situation qand then you as well can profit from death and destruction of human culture.

Terrorism is the religion of capitalism

This site allowed me to laugh and too smile, thanks!

Capitalism is what makes this country great and bails out all the poor country’s that hate us. Wake up. If you don’t like it their are plenty of places you can go to escape capitalism. Use your feet and move.

aaron has a point

yo aaron shut up!

Aaron has a VERY GOOD point.

I am a New Yorker too, and I spent 9/11 in lower Manhattan. It was the worst day of my life. It was not swine flu, bird flu, or mad cow. It was not some sort of contractible, treatable disease. It was something brought upon New Yorkers, and changed our lives forever.

When someone coughs or sneezes, I don’t even lift my head. When I see a plane fly too low, or hear the loud boom of a truck backfiring, I still get nervous and jumpy. Not something to be talked about lightheartedly.

Hey,
I’m from Canada, and I had no part in the event that is 9/11. But I was wondering if you guys would take offense if you saw some people dressed as the twin towers with planes in them for Halloween. I know its a tragedy but, Tragedy + Time = Comedy right?

@anOPINIONATEDsob

anOPINIONATEDsob – vote democrat and continue to blindly believe that your leaders are above such things.

Sad to say Aaron, but for most of your fellow Americans, 9/11, Y2K, the X-Flus and 2012 are pretty much on the same concentric circle of the “fear of not-America” dartboard. (thanks D. Miller.) I take nothing away from what you lived through, but the media has spackled so much crap over all three events that even the tragedy of New York vanishes into the background.

…and Bill? nothing you said is true. Capitalism, as it stands now, fails for the same reason Communism did; those at the top were, are, and always will be filthy greedy.

America didn’t bail out anyone- literally, not a single person. Never mind foreign countries, never mind poor AMericans, not even RICH Americans! You payed to bail out rich CORPORATIONS who caused the problems in the first place.

And thirdly, no, there is nowhere anyone can go to get away from capitalism. Walking away from the centre of things, yu just end on on the periphery where we dump our shit and intake our raw materials and obscenely cheap labour.

sorry about not commenting on the original material, BTW.

LOL, thanks for the pics, I enjoyed them, the comments lead to another story tho…

I’m sorry, does anyone still believe it matters who they vote for??? Once upon a time it did, and you could even buy a different newspaper or switch the TV channel and get a different point of view, a questioning of events around us… not any more. It’s all the same line now!

Doesn’t matter where you live in the western world, vote Republican / Democrat – Labour / Tory – Labor / Liberal, it’s all the same. It’s just zig-zagging, but always heading in the same direction. It’s an illusion of reality and choice.

Wake up… we’re all in The Matrix… and we don’t even realize it.

OMG RAMPAGE

@Cool McJeebs
I am from Canada too…and how can you say you had no part in the events of 9/11?
I cried, I picked my children up early from school and I knew that everything had changed…for all of us regardless of borders.

Animal Farm.
Ultimately, those who seek power and achieve it, regardless of their motives, are the ones we love to hate.
Is this not the human condition?

@Mariana
are you just brushing off swine flu? not funny, my brother died that way.

Hey AAron. Get over it. We recovered after you damn yankees burnt Atlanta to the ground.

You americans take things far too seriously. In countries where we actually have history we have a much better sense of perspective!

OOF, you deserve to live in the periphery as you aimlessly type on the keyboard of technology that capitalism paved the way for.

@Aaron

9/11, true, was a horrible experience to go through for some of us, especially for those who lost a family member or a friend during the event. however, the icon, i suppose, was made for humorous reasons, not to offend anyone. actually, if anyone was to be offended, it should be the afghans and the palestinians. families are being torn apart at a daily basis over there, towns and cities are being bombed, children are being killed, the people although so hopeless are trying to resist, lack of hygenic space and clean food / water, if any at all.

if you expect everyone to sympathize with your 9/11 incident, then you should do the same with the arabs. they have it much worse than you do.

@OOF
Exceptionally well said! Thank you for the intelligent comment. I hope that through your comment, others see that you can voice your opinion without the need for insults.

jack :not appropriate

DO IT

The good old days? THESE are the good old days!

Sites like this are supposed to make us laugh. Every single person in the world has something in their life that caused them pain or humiliation; the only way to heal from that pain is to somehow find the humor in it and learn to laugh again. So, if you find yourself offended by something written on a humorous sign, think twice before you lash out. Why are you holding on to your pain? Why strive to spread rage instead of humor?

And as far as the political comments go, does it really make any of us feel better to call each other idiots? We believe what we believe because of personal experience, and there is no way to make someone see your point of view. The end result of conversations like this is that the participants inevitably build up a head of steam and, fueled by impotent frustration, storm away from the computer and lash out at those around them.

Why not talk about the things we like, rather than the things we hate?

@Bill
hey bill. you realize our country is over six trillion in debt, right? i didnt even know such a number existed

@Cool McJeebs
sounds funny as f*ck, do it, just not in america cuz we’d probly kill you haha! (we’re allowed to make fun of everyone else(yes, including their tragedies) but we cant take a joke(or a bombing, apparently))

* RAMPAGE *

@Ronson
That does not make any sense at all.

@OOF
America hasn’t bailed out anyone? Are you serious? Explain to me why 13 billion dollars went to foreign countries to help victims of WWI and WWII rebuild. Explain Vietnam, explain EVERY single act that has been made to save this world from communism. Hell, if you’d actually rather have that for a government, go ahead. You’ll get substantially less human rights, and starvation to boot! The U.S. is practically the Roman Empire of the 20th-21st century. We may fall, but we will be remembered as a great civilization. The next time you bad-mouth this wonderful country because you can’t make as much money, think of the constitution, and then name another conglomeration of people who have THIS MUCH FREEDOM.

There aren’t many times when everything is going just fine!

Aaron, i think it’s bad taste to equate flu with september 11th. Flu isn’t just some sensationalist one-off terrorist atrocity–20,000 americans a year die of flu.

I think that all of these things swine flu, 9/11, blah blah blah are all as bad as each other.
Many people died, and will die, of terrorism and diseases.
So, stop dissing everyones comments and start to appreciate what you have!

Lois, 13, Australia

the first one, “when I was five years old…. I told them they didn’t understand life”. Most five year old children I know want to be mother and teacher if they are a girl, and the boys want to be policeman or fireman..
@Garrett: dude you don’t know much of the Roman empire if you compare the U.S. to it. Thank you for bailing Europe out WWII, but “to save the world from communism”, let the communists be, like gays and other minorities you’re just frightend of them because they are different.

Those who are disagreeing with Aaron are clearly don’t know what it was like to be living in NY/ North Jersey at the time.

@HS

was just thinking that!!! RAMPAGE FTW!!!

@anOPINIONATEDsob
dude anopinionatedsob democrats are financing the war and expanding it so either way its true.

@Ronson
Well said.

@Bill
Bill, do you know what a “FIAT” currency is? There is a whole world out there just waiting for you to discover how it works. ;0)

dude no offense to 9/11, swine-flu, and all the other shit that happened. but why is katrina not included in this?

@aaron
Yeah you’re right. After all, no one died from swine flu and bird flu and mad cow. STFU and stop being so dramatic and determined to find an insult. And for the record, before you start going on my ass, I’m from NY too.

i’m just gonna throw it out there that aaron said that 9/11 shouldn’t be compared with y2k and 2012, not the flus. aaron you probably should have put those flus with the 9/11 side to clarify more. atleast i think that was the point you were getting at. the not wanting events that consisted of people dying compared to something like y2k. i was too little at the time to remember it but if i’m correct it was just some programming thing where everything’s internal clocks or whatever didn’t have the ability to consider the new millenium. correct me if i’m wrong cuz i’ll feel stupid if i am XD. anyway i think i see where aaron was getting at, but thats really not the point of that picture. in my opinion its a lighthearted and well intentioned way of reminding us not to get worked up about something that (in my personal opinion) probably wont happen. i think that whoever put these pictures together and posted them wasn’t intending to have the majority of the comments be arguing about politics or verbally attacking eachother. but then again it seems like thats all anyone uses any form of comments on things anymore.

reducing everything to a bumpersticker never really works does it?

And Bin Ladin is filthy stinking rich. Don’t be fooled into thinking terrorists are all poor. They recruit the poor, but they are led by rich fat cats, just like everyone else.

I can take a joke but the costume idea is not a joke…it’s rude and disrespectful. I am eager for this war to be over and feel a pain for each innocent that loses their life or is injured. However, it hurts just as much to know that it didn’t take even 10 years for the feelings of 9/11 to dissipate. How quickly forgotten is the fear and justified anger? When do we feel justice has been served? America was attacked and Americans defend the enemy and make comments like we don’t know how to take a joke (or a bombing apparently) How are we supposed to take a bombing (or multiple bombings) I would like to know?
These pictures were not meant to be a political statement. They were meant to be enjoyed but I cannot keep silent after reading a lot of the comments. This is just my opinion and each is entitled to their own thanks to soldiers who fight terrorism.

@aaron
If you feel that strongly, why dont you take off your rose tinted glasses and pulling on the trouser leg of the real people that caused your inner anger (men in suits with brief cases you vote for) you cant stop greed but you can change a need. think bout that the next time you turn over the engine on your car.

Mr Tally Ban

I wish I could “like” some of these comments. Some however are stooooopid. I’m totally with the saying “terrorism is the war of the poor and powerless, war is the terrorism of the rich and powerful” I also enjoy “one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter” there are many sayings like this all of them prove true. While I am 150% against one man killing another. I am also against ignorance fighting for a higher power fueled by greed. The dude that speaks of yankees burning atlanta, good god man that was more then 150yrs ago. I’m not American, but I think ya’ll (and not all of you just some) have too much to fight for and not enough brain to even realise what ur fighting for.

And i LOVE the first quote “when I was 5yrs old…” fantastic! And thank you Lois, well said and very mature for a 13yr old…More intellegence there, then 50% of the rest of the world put together!!!

Some of you guys are looking into these pictures far too seriously. Take a step back and do something more productive with your lives, rather than sitting around at your computer being a pointless person.

@Cool McJeebs
yea do that..let me cut out a picture or my dad and uncle and you can tape my dad on the plane and my uncle on the tower.

@aaron
I don’t think that any disrespect was meant – I think that it was more of a compilation of what the American people have gone through, both the terrible and the slightly superstitious. 9/11 wasn’t being compared with Y2K, it was simply being named in the same list of what the American people have seen. Try to approach life with a less righteous standing. You might learn something.

I really liked the 2012 one, I put that as my facebook status, but I left out the 9/11 part. I don’t think I have a right to say that since I wasn’t there.

Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face

god dame it that one is true.
