I kind of assume this happens with every major event, am I wrong?
The interrubes are full of racist stuff. As others have pointed out, it's only at the conclusion of major sporting events media people will go looking to find it and aggregate it.

Re: August LC Thread: Gif Lag ITT

That **** happens every time USA plays Japan in anything.

I don't know if I'd call it dishonest, but there's something a bit... something about these sorts of stories. As people note, I can search twitter and likely come up with 20 really terrible statues on anything. There's a ****load of people using twitter. While it's sad that some of them are giant *******s, 20 tweets aren't really indicative of anything beyond that. So easy to write stuff like this and just abandon any sense of perspective.

Looks like Obama plans on stealing from people via taxes and wasting it on people who should be able to manage risk on their own.

Does this fall under campaign stuff?

You get more trolling value if you put it in the global warming thread imo.

Re: August LC Thread: Gif Lag ITT

Yeah- there really is. There's a pretty important difference between the acknowledgement that you need help do to most things and outright worship.

The underlying point of "you didn't build that" wasn't that people need help. It was that the state is the only way to provide that help.
