Stupid people

A Palestinian throws a rock at an Israeli tank in the
West Bank town of Nablus today

OK, what the hell is this guy thinking?

Oh man, I thought this was a thread about all the people I work with. Oh its soo frustrating.

Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

I don't know if it's what he is thinking, as much as it is the stupidness of the entire region itself.

I thought it was about the complete idiot drivers in Denver who can't seem to remove the freakin phone from the side of their heads...

Let me stop in the middle of Santa Fe to figure out where I'm goin (no joke, seen it four times)...

Are you serious? Wouldn't you be a bit pissed if someone came and stole your holy land?? And btw, its not like every single person living over there is out chucking rocks against tanks, most (MOST) of them go to work everyday just like you and I.

Do you think they work as hard as we do, or do they spend their work day on dz.com?

YEA! If someone drove a tank onto the DZ to stop us from jumping I'd be pissed. That's MY holy land.

Still don't think I'd throw rocks at 'em though, probably just take up BASE!

Try driving with people from Mississippi. They drive slow in the left lane, slow down for every off ramp, bridge, or piece of garbage on the side of the road. Come to complete stops at green lights, and use the left blinker from the left lane and turn right. It's always excitiing.

I've been through MS a few times (up around Jackson and such)... I only have this to say:

NEVER AGAIN IF I CAN POSSIBLY HELP IT!!!

I'll go to Moss Point for jumps, that's about it!

Thats what I'm talking about!!!!! I'd be all about the rocks and gasbomb cocktails if my local DZ got taken over!

LOL

P.S. Didn't mean to start up the Palestine/Israel thread again, but I do have friends that live over there that are pretty dang smart is all...

He was free for that brief moment.
(BTW, You should be very happy because you don't understand that act.)

Probably right on there. When you feel oppressed and impotent to do anything about it, I'll bet throwing rocks at a tank would feel pretty damn good. It's better than cowering in the corner in fear.

Trust me, it feels.

Throwing a rock can be assault with a dangerous weapon (ask a cop). The tank could return fire.

Well, he obviously doesn't have anything to combat a tank. Call it a last act of defiance. You know like the field mouse that is holding the finger up to the eagle that is swooping in to eat him. I wouldn't consider his defiance any less stupid than driving a tank through a residential area killing people...

Now that would be interesting to see.

An act of defiance. I understand him.

I wouldnt do it, but then I didnt grow up in his world.

[MyOwnWay 0]

yes it would be feel good to "try" to fight back, but really, what would it accomplish by throwing a rock (close relative to the pebble)?
