way to go, Ivan

[dissent]

this is how you do it.

[Duper]

sweet! WELL DONE!!

now, if it was us, we'd catch all kinds of hell for being heavy handed.

[CDN_Merlin]

I would of shot them all and said they shot first and throw their bodies overboard. They don't deserve to live of suck the money out of our economy for court costs.

i have mixed feelings, coz to many of the baying americans this is obviously about \"shooting those crazy brown people, yeehar\".
And you all know it.

\"Shots were fired during the raid but no one was injured, Thornqvist said.\"

Unless I'm missing something, this doesn't really sound heavy-handed or inappropriate. They actually did a pretty good job avoiding any casualties (including to the pirates) since in an operation like that I'd expect them...

I think you are missing that they mean no one on their side was injured. It says one of the pirates was killed but that still may be a news mistake.

"Cmdr. John Harbour", how ironic hehe.

well don't get in the way Roid, or you'll get it too.
p.s. Merlin is Canadian.

Xam, even still. only 1-3 deaths in a situation like that deserves one "attaboy". Now it they cut them all down then said, "oh, no pirates were harmed during the filming of this exercise".. that would be another thing. Not that I would feel terribly sorry for the pirates, but it doesn't do well to lie about something like that.

Kinda like the rep assies have for the aborigines?

[Spidey]

Only a bigot could see a person’s skin color in a situation like this.

[Sickone]

Kinda what I was thinking Spidey.
Also I notice roid only mentioned Americans.
Yeah, cause ★■◆● the Germans, Russians, all of
the middle east, even through Africa certainly
never had an issue with race...

★■◆●, if someone is holding a gun to wifes head and I am armed. I am thinking \"Can I take the shot\", and \"don't kill my wife\"... I sure as ★■◆● could care less what color skin he has, what god he prays to, where he was born, or even what monsters come when he is alone in the dark. I want the piece of ★■◆● dead... you can call me anything you like afterwards.

Hey guys, lets all pretend rednecks don't exist. We'll be all like - "Rednecks? Never heard of em.". Oh boy it'll be so fun the shenanegans we'll pull on internet forums by faking cultural ignorance lawl.

Well some "baying aussies" yeah - exactly.

I actually expected people to acknowledge the point i made about "that other racist America" and distance themselves from it.
Getting butthurt about it was something i only expected the baying americans (rednecks) in question to do. I wouldn't expect you guys to actually identify with "some baying Americans" and take it as a personal insult.
You are ment to say "oh yeah - THOSE rednecks, THOSE baying Americans - the rest of America hates those guys. They are a public relations disaster and an embarrassment for the rest of us Americans"

[Duper]

trust me. Acid racism doesn't stop at our shores. Try any country in eastern Asia. That is EVEN funny some of the hatred there.
