No Rhyme, Nor Reason...

"Dear Prime Minister, You have done a great favour to us today, of which you are not aware. I've seen..."

""Dear Prime Minister, You have done a great favour to us today, of which you are not aware. I've seen a Galatasaray (football team) fan picking up a Fenerbahçe (another football team) fan off of the street who fell against the police, to whom you have ordered to kill. I've seen students sharing their water and bread with each other; Kurds and Turks walking hand in hand. I've seen women, whom you call whores, coming out of the brothel to give lemons and water to those who were injured. I've seen people, whom you call transvestites, opening their hotel rooms for refuge; I've seen lawyers and doctors sharing their phones, medical students responding in emergencies. I've seen elderly ladies giving out clothes soaked in vinegar. I've seen shopkeepers sharing their wireless network passwords, hotel owners taking injured in to their lobbies. I've seen a bus driver blocking the road to prevent the panzer from entering. I've seen pharmacists opening their shops at night. And rest assured, tonight our eyes were filled with tears not because of the teargas you ordered to be fired but because of pride.""

-

Open letter from the Turkish citizens to the prime minister.

Thousands of people are protesting against the government right now because of the violence and injustice they've been subjected to when they were peacefully protesting against government's decision to cut down the trees and demolish a park.

Please share and let the world know that these people will not stand this torment and injustice anymore. They are chanting "We'll have revolution!" and "Government resign!" and courageously resisting the police against the tear gas and physical brutality.

I'm honest to god tearing up at this.

istanbulfreepress: Istanbul - In a protest in Beşiktaş, police...



istanbulfreepress:

Istanbul - In a protest in Beşiktaş, police fired gas bombs with an orange gas. In Twitter, people claim that is is Agent Orange, a chemical weapon used by the US in Vietnam. However as IFP, we assume that it's some sort of tear gas/ pepper spray bomb with orange dye, as actual Agent Orange is generally white, and its effects are far more deadly than what this gas does. The current gas makes breathing nearly impossible for 10 minutes. We can currently neither confirm nor deny that this is Agent Orange, however so far it's not likely, or at least we hope so.

It's standard CS gas, but there have been rumors of CR gas being used.

CR gas is a LOT more intense and is used here for basic training, but there are two key differences, CS gas is easily washed out with water mixed with sodium bisulfate (can be bought cheaply online as a food additive), but CR gas will intensify greatly when it comes into contact with water and CR is also an intense carcinogenic.

So before you wash shit off in a panic, try a tiny couple of drops of water, if that burns then you need to get away, strip off all clothing and then intensely scrub the area using as little water as possible.

CR gas will continue to cause you searing pain 6-10 times more intense than CS gas for up to 60 days, it is unbearable. And in confined spaces it will cause a pulmonary edema in a very short period of time.

I'm at an Indian restaurant and a guy just walked in wearing a combination of US BDUs and AUSCAM.

Tonight will be a fun night.

Just finished Call of Juarez: Gunslinger

That shit was an easy 8, maybe 9 out of 10.

Loved how they did the story, so they could go off the rails in make belive land, but still deliver historical facts consistently.

It was a bit short though.

#actors who are actually their character

the greatest casting ever.

Even better when you think about how Dan got a place for himself in NY to continue his career, Emma went to a school in USA, and Rupert bought a effing ice cream truck.

Follow your dreams Rupert

I didn't know this. So I looked it up and - HE ACTUALLY DID.image

'I keep my van well stocked. It's got a proper machine that dispenses Mr Whippy ice cream and I buy my lollies wholesale – 50 for a tenner – so I never run short.

I'm not allowed to sell my merchandise. I'd need a licence for that. 'I tend to avoid July and August, but the rest of the year I'll drive around the local villages and if I see some kids looking like they're in need of ice creams, I'll pull over and dish them out for free. They'll say, "Ain't you Ron Weasley?" And I'll say, "It's strange, I get asked that a lot."

It makes it even better that he just GIVES the icecream away. [Source]

Fuck this story keeps getting better.

pilosopogyno: This man, James Verone, robbed a bank for one...



pilosopogyno:

This man, James Verone, robbed a bank for one dollar. Why only one dollar? Because he knew that in prison he could get the medical care he could not afford with his part time salary as a convenience store clerk. He was approved for food stamps, but they did little to help his finances. Between his back problems, carpel tunnel, and arthritis, he simply couldn't handle the pain any longer.

On June 9th, he sent a letter to his local paper, the Gaston Gazette, that stated: "When you receive this a bank robbery will have been committed by me. this robbery is being committed by me for one dollar. I am of sound mind but not so much sound body."

He then took a cab to the RBC Bank, and handed the teller a note asking for one dollar and medical attention. He quietly took a seat in the lobby and waited for police to arrive.

Since Verone only stole one dollar, he was only charged with larceny. His bail, which he doesn't plan to pay is set at $2,000, reduced from the normal $100,000. He's scheduled to see a doctor this Friday, and hopes to get foot surgery, back surgery and to have a protrusion on his check treated.   

To me, this is the perfect example of how disturbingly corrupt and unjust our health care system has become under HMO's. For this man, or any person for that matter, feels that he needs to be imprisoned just to see a doctor, is ridiculous. 

This is exactly what I hate about America. Why is it that you can buy an entire house with money you don't have, but still can't apply for health care if you don't meet the requirements? That's messed up.

Sickest Candle ever.

It's like the olympic closing ceremony…

funny story about these, i had a red one on my birthday and everyone was like "wow this is the coolest fucking thing ever" and it plays music and all that, but when it came to actually eating the cake and taking the candle out, there was no off switch, so we had to smash it to pieces in the back garden to shut it up. turns out if you smash it up the music box still works. when i was in bed at 3am i could hear something so i opened the window, and it sounded like a tune you would hear in a horror movie before someone gets their body ripped to shreds and eaten. sleep well munchkins. you dont want this fucking thing.

^^^^^^^^MY MOTHER BOUGHT THIS FOR ME WHEN I TURNED 14 IT DIDNT STOP PLAYING WE DROWNED IT FOR 5 HOURS AND IT STARTED PLAYING THE SECOND YOU TOOK IT OUT OF THE WATER MY BROTHER SMASHED IT AGAINST THE  WALL 5 TIMES IT DIDNT STOP MY MOTHER THREW IT OUT 3 BLOCKS AWAY 

i love how every single time i see this there's a new horror story about this candle

"I got a fan letter from a young lady. It was a suicide...













"I got a fan letter from a young lady. It was a suicide note.

So I called her, and I said, "Hey, this is Jimmy Doohan. Scotty, from Star Trek." I said, "I'm doing a convention in Indianapolis. I wanna see you there."

I saw her — boy, I'm telling you, I couldn't believe what I saw. It was definitely suicide. Somebody had to help her, somehow. And obviously she wasn't going to the right people.

I said to her, "I'm doing a convention two weeks from now in St. Louis." And two weeks from then, in somewhere else, you know? She also came to New York - she was able to afford to got to these places. That went on for two or three years, maybe eighteen times. And all I did was talk positive things to her.

And then all of the sudden — nothing. I didn't hear anything. I had no idea what had happened to her because I never really saved her address.

Eight years later, I get a letter saying, "I do want to thank you so much for what you did for me, because I just got my Master's degree in electronic engineering."

That's…to me, the best thing I've ever done in my life."

this-is-clarity:

So I was doing some LOtR research because of course and a lot of people put Legolas' last name down as Greenleaf. I got curious, and so i looked it up, and the word "Legolas" literally means Greenleaf.

Legolas is "Greenleaf Greenleaf."

Legolas is Moon Moon
