What, we can only joke about the financially stable and physically powerful now? <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Wow, thats a pretty chicken s*** move by the gut with the waterbottle. The kid runs like a mile pretty fast and doesnt even get it. The sad thing is the state of the Iraqi utilities such as electricity and water is still horrible. The poor kid might have really needed that.</div> Especially now after running nearly two miles...

Plus, did you see the way the whole group of people converged on the bottle after he threw it out of the car? Throw a bottle of water out of a car in the US and people are not going to fight for it.

Plain and simple, if the kid can run a mile or so for water bottle at a constant speed, I think he's doing fine. He looked pretty well off to me.
You're entitled to find it funny. But don't try to downplay their situation. Water is obviously a scarce resource in that area and it's pretty clear that they're lacking the basic necessities. I find it odd that people in this continent still question why the Iraqi's (and Middle East for that matter) isn't more accepting of an American presence.

If that was just some random guy driving somewhere in America, that would be in the Make Me Laugh section, but because it's such a sore subject, it's here.</div> anyone who laughs at this is a loser. period. context is everything. who cares IF it would have been some random guy in the U.S. it would have been "funny" - the point is it isn't some random guy, it's a soldier of the most powerful country in the world fighting a war and a helpless poverty-stricken kid most likely extremely thirsty. if you saw a video of two guys beating each other up of equal strength that might be funny too. If you saw a video of a guy beating up a pregnant woman that might be less funny don't you think? wow dude
Beating and messing with someone are completely different. Does someone have to explain to you the difference of severity between the two? Like Voodoo said, Get a sense of humor.
