This is so true... (1 Viewer)

[The Captain]

You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you. You are carrying a Glock cal 40, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?Democrat's Answer:Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!Does the man look poor? Or oppressed?Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids?Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children? Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? Should I call 9-1-1? Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have paint and weed day and make this happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior. This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus.Republican's Answer:BANG!Southerner's Answer:BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Click..... (Sounds of reloading) BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! ClickDaughter: "Nice grouping, Daddy! Were those the Winchester Silver Tips or Hollow Points?Son: Can I shoot the next one!Wife: You ain't taking that dang thang to the Taxidermist!

Somehow I don't think you're talking about black Democrats. But I get your hyperbolic point.On the other hand, it's too bad quick acting law and order trigger-finger Republicans imagine things about who they want to shoot at sometimes, too, though.

But I guess it's better to ask questions about what his intentions are first, and then call the police if he says he is going to do more than rob you. VIOLENCE IS NOT THE ANSWER!

 

[MaRdYC26]

Violence isn't the answer.And obviously any person would fight back if someone was coming at them with a knife ya dumbass. You think your so cool posting this, when it makes you look like such an idiot.Just because Democrats are smarter by using their heads by trying to use diplomatic affairs with other countries, rather than droppin bombs like Bush did.

Many people who I have gotten into Gun Control arguments have said if they had a gun, they would try to run instead of shooting the person because they don't know if he was just going to rob him or hurt him, and it would be unfair.Yet if it was a joke saying that Republicans are war-mongering, gun-wielding rednecks, you'd be rolling with laughter and saying that this is such a true joke.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Just because Democrats are smarter by using their heads by trying to use diplomatic affairs with other countries, rather than droppin bombs like Bush did.</div>When did War become part of this?

 

[gentile]

I don't think The Captain is prejudiced or a hick. I think his main point was about how wishy-washy and overanalytical that Democrats have lately become so well known.It was a pretty good point, but it was also a rather sad portrayal of how bloodthirsty both sides behave. But it was true. Edit: Rather, it rings true (This is how a Democrat would say it).

[Something-To-Say]

Every single person who's got an IQ above that of a MR person(so not including george bush), would shoot the guy obviously.

[kingjamez]

I would shoot the bi*ch 4-5 maybe 9 times.. No question about it - in this case, you really have no choice, unless you'd rather die.

This is the type of joke that you only laugh at if you are a Republican.I laughed.

Classic Mardy.This really wasn't a good joke, it would've at least been better had a different situation been used.

[the_pestilence]

the allegory would have been better had the man been a random sikh running down the street without a knife in his hand, but with a ceremonial dagger in his belt. The southerner would shoot him because he'd think that it was a muslim running to stab him. The Repub would do the same. The dem would think for a few seconds and, lo and behold, it would turn out that it was just a guy running to a taxi

[MaRdYC26]

I dont care if it's a white person coming at me with a knife.it's f*cking human instinct to just fight back if someone is trying to kill u idc about thier race...jeez, to even think this is funny is just stupid god.

If I was an expert shot I would just shoot the knife out of his hand then deliver him a Critical Beatdown

This is a joke first told by either Tom Selek, or Charleston Heston to piss off Rosie O'Donnell after she freaked out on Selek on her show.
