I remember as far back as 2004-2005 being told by high school kids, who were 16-18 at the time, that I was stuck in the 90s.

Basically it is a lot of words to say nothing is something !

From a Philosophical sense this entire thread is something and nothing at the same time.

UPDATE: Officials have given the 'all clear' at the Washington Navy yard, which was put on lockdown following reports of a possible shooting.

DC police are responding to reports of an active shooter at the Washington Navy Yard Thursday morning. Few details about the ongoing incident have been confirmed, including whether there are any victims, but the U.S. Navy tweeted just before 8 a.m. that the facility was on lockdown.

Less than an hour later, local CBS affiliate WUSA9 tweeted that, according D.C. Fire officials, there have been no reported injuries and everyone at the Navy Yard has been accounted for.

Outside, a uniformed witness told Fox News that he and a colleague heard someone yell, "get out of the building, stay away from the cafeteria." Drawing on "lessons learned from last time," he said, "we got in the office, shut the door, locked it, and that was it until the police arrived to escort us out."

WUSA has said that, according to a police source, Navy security were searching for two potential gunmen. There have been no confirmed sightings of a shooter at this point, however, and a recent tweet from WUSA9 reporter Garrett Haake suggests there may not have been a shooting at all.

Still, the facility remains on lockdown as of 9:30 a.m., with an ongoing investigation underway, according to the U.S. Navy.

The Washington Navy Yard was the site of a deadly shooting that killed 13 people, including gunman Aaron Alexis, in September 2013. The 34-year-old Alexis, a government contractor, had only been working at the Navy Yard for less than a week before the shooting rampage. According to details that emerged in the immediate aftermath, Alexis had been experiencing delusions and had enscribed "End the torment!" onto the barrel of his shotgun.

Thursday's incident comes days after federal authorities urged local law enforcement agencies nationwide to be on high alert ahead of the July 4 weekend.

Best Yahoo comment so far:
Someone on the internet said:
If the imaginary shooter was shooting at, say a black person and wearing an American flag, should we change the flag because is may hurt someones feelings. Come on media, create a story, lets wind everyone up for nothing as usual.

For what it's worth, I think the rebel flag outrage is definitely going too far.

I've maintained I only think it should be removed from government buildings and some of the confederate memorials should be reworked a bit so that they're a little more historically accurate.

Leave private industry, entertainment, and personal property alone.

We can't try to fix anything in this country without people going overboard. >_<

Homer's thoughts on the church tax:



Homer: What? This is the highest tax increase in history!

Lisa: Actually it's the lowest tax increase in history, dad.

Homer: I pay the Homer tax. Let the bears pay the bear tax.

Lisa: That's home owners tax, dad.

Homer: Either way, I'm still outraged.

I prefer the metro phrase, "We're here! We're not ***, but we're close! Get used to it!"

On the confederate flag debate:



Mayor Quimby: Are these morons getting dumber or just louder?

Quimby's Aide: Dumber, sir.


On police incompetence:

Chief Wiggum: Book 'em, Lou.

[points to the bear]

Chief Wiggum: One count of being a bear.

[points to Barney]

Chief Wiggum: And one count of being an accessory to being a bear

Apu could have summed up our confederacy discussion also:


Examiner: All right, here's your last question. What was the cause of the Civil War?

Apu: Actually, there were numerous causes. Aside from the obvious schism between the abolitionists and the anti-abolitionists, there were economic factors, both domestic and inter...

Examiner: Wait, wait... just say slavery.

Apu: Slavery it is, sir.

The word Nidhogg sounds like a racial slur, therefore no.

Ramyrez AKA "McFeely" on FFXIAH.COM leaked his feels all over me and I couldn't contain those feels any more.

I killed them because as the warrior of light, I was commanded to defeat the denizens of darkness. Altana blessed me for no other reason.
