OT Man kills two on Portland MAX

I know of none that were fined for this.

BTW, I think you are correct in your assestment of Jesus' teaching. Mohammad on the other hand taught a completely different treatment of homosexuals.

 

I thought I was going to go fishing soon. Now I find I need to wait until Mid July.

 

Oh, not at all. I think he is following the Constitution very well, especially compared to resent administrations. He may find the way to handle the Jihadi and an NK too. At least there is hope now.

 

I am definitely no defender of Islam. I just think that many Christians aren't actually following the teachings of Jesus.

Personally, I think organized religion is bullshit on all fronts, but I just can't stand hypocrisy. It drives me up the wall. That cake shop wanted to cite religion as a reason to turn away a gay couple, but I can guaran-damn-tee that they would flip their shit if a Muslim baker refused to sell them a cake because they're Christians.

People need to stop being assholes and just live their damn lives.

 

Wonderful suggestion.

 

It seems like such a simple suggestion though, right? Treat others as you'd like to be treated. Seems pretty simple.... and yet I just see people being dicks to each other constantly. People being selfish. People looking out for themselves. It's really sad.

 

People not even paying attention to their surroundings. I was at Universal studios last week limping my big ass around and had to almost grab 50 asians that were staring at things or taking pictures and walking right into me. I shouldn't have to watch out for them. They're the ones who will get knocked over.

 

Ha! You know I have thought about that problem a lot when I was in some of the cities in Asia, like Tokyo, Hong Kong, Seoul, Singapore.
You would be appalled to be packed onto a commuter train like they do in Tokyo. They actually do have people employed to push people in so the doors will shut.
I was on one train where we where so jammed in, I would have freaked out but for I was way the tallest anywhere near me. Head above the crowd, looked down and this small lady jammed into my armpit, but she was calmly enduring the unfortunate circumstances.

Sometimes is is so damn crowed even on the sidewalks that I need to take time out, shit I can't take this!!! Well they take it as the way it is. I think you are stuck with watching out. When you are accustomed to too many people, there isn't enough time to be polite to them all, so they don't exist and your space is your own.

 

While walking on the very crowded Ginza sidewalk in Tokyo, I was trying my hardest to watch out for others. Then I felt something wrong with my last step. I looked down, I had stepped on a very small tiny lady. She just smiled and walked on like nothing happened. But I felt like shit for not seeing her. How she got around in the 10 lane wide conga line going in four directions is beyond me.

 

We have an acceleration currently in progress today. We often learned the view of a person and their contempt of us before we meet the man. Others have cataloged and characterized us, even labeled us before we have greeted one another. Hard to accept one another in such expedient world, where this typing takes place before any possibility of a smile and handshake could possible alter the course.

 

I might have this wrong, but I would call what you describe as prejudice. The boundary lines of prejudice have definitely moved a lot in my lifetime.

 

I had a development group in Kawasaki. Some of them lived a 100 or more miles away from where they worked. They couldn't take the train everyday so they only went home about twice a week.
The other days they had a sort of locker rented to sleep in locally. It reminded me of the large lockers that were once available to rent in Bus stations.

 

We get a daily dose from many sources.

 

I was also in Japan on business. Visited a company we did business with that was located in the northern part of the main Island. The area was beautiful and very similar to our Pacific NW. The hotel I stayed in had large natural hot spring bathing/swimming pools. (Men and women were separated).

The Japanese company took me on a tour of Japan, at their expense. They gave me a translator that took care of everything. We flew to Kyoto and spent a couple of days sightseeing and than the bullet train to Tokyo for a couple days of sightseeing before I flew home.

Had one very unusually experience in Japan. On one of my sight seeing trips, I took a tour bus from the hotel. Along the way I purchased Japanese dolls for my young nieces, but left them on the bus. The next morning I had a message. Went down and the hotel desk clerk handed me the shopping bag with everything in it. How they knew the bag was mine is a mystery, the tour bus company had to go to some trouble to get it back to me. I doubt that would ever happen in this country.

 

I probably shouldn't say this, but I cant help but wonder why 3 guys couldn't effectively (without two of them dying) stop this bastard.

 

I just asked my friend, his wife is Japanese and he's been a couple of times. (I don't even want to know if the toilet stories he tells are true)

Annyway, he said his wife had to tell him how to behave on escalators and moving sidewalks because people would try to run you over.

On the moving walkways at the airport I walk, you make great time. On an escalator it doesn't help much.

I'd feel like Bigfoot in Japan, I bet Shaq felt like Godzilla

 

A surprise attack is a surprise attack.

Oh wait nvm, according to some in this thread the three terrorists, and two terrorists in training asked for it by being on the max, & approached the white victim aggressively.
I bet it wasn't even his knife, I bet it was the Muslim's knife.

 

So true. The muslim girl probably had a shitty suicide bomb dud stuffed with knives and this hero grabbed it out of thin air and stabbed the white terrorists with it.

Good shit. Then again here's another racist psychopath hero of mine. I was going to suggest a gladiator style deathmatch between this piece of shit nutjob and the Portland piece of shit nutjob but now you've opened my eyes to his heroics.

Just for clarification, I have been suggesting that it wasn't a good idea to confront the nutcase involved based only on what I knew at the time.

If we ever get to see the video there still might be something I don't encourage but I'm only speaking from experience of having to stop myself from escalating situations. I had the police at my house last Wednesday, got no satisfaction out of it. Would have rather beaten the person they were planning to arrest before their supervisor told them not to.
