Eurobonds Rejected at Stupid European Summit

New French leader, Hollande, had some choice words, regarding tonight’s stupid meeting.

‘Britain is against everything’

some countries were totally hostile to Eurobonds. I was not alone in defending Eurobonds

two types of populism. In north citizens do not want to give any more; in south do not want to be subjected to more austerity

Germany did not see Eurobonds as helping growth. I favour it for new debt, not old debt

Is this a Fucking Joke? ISAF DROPS CANDY and KILLS 51 KIDS DOING IT

Please, I am begging for someone to fact check this. Please do not tell me we’ve been killing Afghan kids for years by dropping our stupid fucking candy bars on them!!! This shit makes me angry as fuck.

Approximately 1.4 million M&Ms were to be delivered via Container Delivery System in a single package with a weight of 1500 lbs. Due to a malfunction in the static line, the parachute failed to deploy and the container crashed through the roof of a local school at nearly 100 miles per hour.

Upon impact, the force of the rapidly settling candies caused the sides to explode outward, causing what physics professor Dr. Rosella Schwartz described as, “essentially a 360 degree anti-personnel mine full of chocolate flechettes.”

By “flechettes”, Schwartz is referring to the M&Ms’ candy shells, which shattered and spalled upon entering the bodies of the victims and also caused more numerous and severe secondary injuries.

Dr. Manuel Velez of the Red Cross, one of the first medical personnel at the site of the impact, had a similar assessment of the candy shells’ damage.

“I’ve seen a lot of injuries inflicted on civilians by military ordnance, but this was much worse,” Velez said, stooping to change the bandages on one of the victims while pointing out the many blue, green, and yellow splotches.

“The worst were the peanut M&Ms. The soft chocolate acted as a sabot around the peanuts, so basically these things were candy-coated penetrator rounds.”
