Some of us have probably heard about the Barry White case. Barry White is a 23-year-old man who barged in a San Francisco jewelry store and killed two of the store owners, and wounding another employee of the store. He then walked outside the store and fired on police, not injuring any of them. He was subsequently arrested, and booked on two counts of murder and seven counts of attempted murder.
The only reason why he decided to commit a deadly shooting rampage was because he thought he was overcharged. No other reason. Barry White also has an extensive criminal record. Pretty much everyone thinks this case is just fucked up, and they think he deserves to be executed on the spot.
Whether you're pro-death penalty or anti-death penalty, what do you think should be done about sick, evil murderer Barry White? Not to mention, he was shot in the head before, after allegedly trying to run over police. He survived.

Everytime I have to go there I hold my breath and pray for the military to napalm the entire district. It's that bad.
The area is pretty grimy but that's what makes it interesting I guess. Yes, a lot of crazy people, but for the most part people there seemed cool and normal, and I mean normal not as in boring normal but cool normal. I guess now that you say it, a lot of the homeless people in the Haight may not really be homeless people and might actually have a home, but San Francisco in general has always had a problem with homelessness.
Still, regardless of the people in the Haight, the murals and architecture there are amazing and there's definitely some good food and Golden Gate Park being nearby is a massive plus.

If a real Krusty Krab restaurant opened in your neighborhood, would you go there? What would you expect from it? What do you think you'd like about it?
The Krusty Krab, come spend your money here!
Ever been to the neighborhood of San Francisco called Haight-Ashbury? It's a neighborhood that was known for its hippie subculture and LSD usage, and to this day it remains a hub of culture for music and art. You can see beautiful Victorian houses, artistic murals, and street art everywhere. You can see a few street performers here and there performing music or a magic trick, and who can forget about Amoeba Music? Also, nothing beats living next to Golden Gate Park, one of the country's most beautiful urban parks along with Central Park in NYC.
50-year-old men skating on skateboards, homeless people with signs saying "fuck you, pay me" right outside a Whole Foods. I'd love to move to Haight Street or near it sometime in the near future, at least for a few months or a year. It would be cool as fuck.

No, the comments (now disabled) were the ones that are racist.

I'm not surprised by this, but apparently this was a group of people who intentionally tried to post a lot of racist stuff in order to get a lot of attention distributed everywhere. This wasn't really just a bunch of individuals posting hateful stuff, it was an organized and premeditated "cyber attack" (as stupid that sounds) on a video posted by a popular cereal company. It was bad enough for CNN and Huffington Post to cover it, so it was pretty much that "bad."

A Cheerios ad that was on YouTube had to have its comments disabled after people posted many racist comments about the video, which featured a half-black girl and a white mother interacting with each other about Cheerios cereal. Many of the racist comments used the n-word, racial epithets, and other bursts of anger towards seeing a biracial family like this.
Honestly, wow. YouTube has hit a new low, and this is just disgusting. What is wrong with that video? I honestly don't see what is wrong with it, yet it gets attacked with racial hatred.

So... be bi I guess?
NBA player Indiana Pacers Roy Hibbert was fined $75,000 for saying "no homo" and "motherfucking" during a game interview.
Despite this article saying "no homo" is an offensive term, I have never heard anyone say that is offensive. A little immature and senseless, yes? Extremely offensive? Not to me. If you look at the comments for this article, the vast majority find the NBA's fining over this ridiculous and that "no homo" to them is not offensive at all. Even some gay people I know would not find this a big deal.
Also, why fine him tons of money over saying fuck?
Do you think the NBA was right for fining him a lot of money for this?

also, those few, are worked their ass off. thats a pretty stressful life they have
I would agree with what you said. However, what do you mean by more stupid? Lower IQ, lower high school graduation rate/college graduation rate, etc? The people in Mainland China, with the exception of Shanghai probably, are nothing like the "Chinese" or Asian people that are stereotyped as the super smart ones living in the US or Canada. Most of people in China are poor and live in villages or extremely dense cities and the education really sucks in many of those places, and it's really stricken by poverty. The smartest Chinese people usually leave China and immigrate to a different country, usually Canada, US, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan, England, etc. for a better life.
However, Taiwan and Hong Kong are ethnic Chinese, and have the highest IQs among the world. Unlike China, they're developed and fairly wealthy countries.
Same things goes for India. India is filled with slums and poverty and violent crime just like we do in the US.
Stereotypes are really silly honestly. I also hate how people stereotype us Americans as all stupid and mostly rednecks, which is not true.
What is the hip hop music like in your area? Over in Oakland, there's a cool rapper by the name of DB Tha General. He raps about having a good time, doing thizz (ecstacy), getting drunk, etc. I'm not sure if he's rapped much about hurting or killing anyone like some rappers do, but honestly I hate that shit that just glorifies gangs or gang violence. I stick to the real shit.
So here's DB Tha General:

This.
I smoked weed once with a few guys on my high school campus after school during an after-school class. We weren't caught, but where I live is more of a liberal place so the cops really don't care as much. I also smoked another time near my high school next to a See's Candies shop, and then I smoked with another time with a bunch of 14-year-olds (I was 18 back then) near a creek. But yeah I was lucky for dat shit.

You can always trust fat white people to be racist fucks.
lol I know you're exaggerating and kind of joking, but some of the people who made the ignorant comments about people of Indian descent not being American were African-Americans. Ignorance comes in every race, sex, religion, etc.

I don't follow anyone on Twitter. I just found some people from Twitter who tweeted about the Spelling Bee and a fraction of them were slightly racist, ignorant comments saying these people were not Americans, even though they were.
Sure Twitter is known for its stupidity but this has hit a new low.
On Twitter I saw some people make comments about the National Spelling Bee and how many of its contestants are of Indian descent (Asian Indian, not Native American). Here are some examples: "Of course it comes down to 3 Indian kids in the spelling bee...not even fair to us Americans ahaha" / "Are there any Americans in the spelling bee?" / "are we sure this is not the Indian national spelling bee? americans need to step up" / "so there are no americans in the spelling bee" / "there are just Indians there, not American people like me, they want to invade our country"
I was honestly astounded by this ignorance. As far as I know, almost ALL of these "Indian" contestants are American citizens who were born and raised in this country and just happen to have Indian heritage. I honestly couldn't believe people said that. They are as American as any other person born in this country.
Just because they have foreign names that are not western, and happen to look "different" than most American people, a lot of people just assumed they are definitely not American despite the fact almost all of them are Americans like me and you and just have a certain type of ethnicity. I know some Indian American people and I think would feel kind of offended if people said they are not Americans just because of the way they look or they have a "different" kind of name.
Why would people think like that?
Not me, but I've been questioned by the police for making threats in the past, and technically I was "detained" by the cops, but I was not placed in cuffs or charged with a crime. I've seen my father being arrested though, for petty crimes.

Why does it matter where it happened? Whether it happened in China, Iraq, Togo, Brazil, or the U.S.? A person's life, whether they be a billionaire businessperson living in Beverly Hills, or a poor starving village person in Kyrgyzstan. The world isn't just America, bro.

My pal got a nice surprise when her boyfriend revealed that he was on parole for stabbing both his mom and brother, neither of them dying.
SO THAT'S INTERESTING OR SOMETHING
Yep it is fucked up. It's pretty odd considering that my city is generally pretty safe, too. I however will admit the neighborhood I lived with the six people being shot was kind of a ghetto area but it's nicer now than it was before.
Have you ever personally known or met a person who committed a murder?
Yes it's a more sensitive subject to talk about, but I thought about this because I somehow have known quite a few people connected to murder cases, directly or indirectly.
I knew a girl in high school whose brother shot a man to death, and also stabbed a man to death near an elementary school. He was convicted of the two murders and sentenced to life without parole, and both murders were gang-related. The murderer went to my school and I think I may have talked to him at least once.
My next door neighbor lived next door to me for several years and was arrested three years ago for committing a murder in a different state. He and several other people kidnapped a man and shot him to death and stole the crack from his house. I think he is serving a life sentence and may never be released. I have seen a few times in my neighborhood and I think he said hi to my dad when they walked by a few times...
Very close to my old house, even though I didn't know the suspects or victims, six people, mostly girls, were shot and wounded during a gang-related attack while they sitting on the porch of their house. The suspects were never caught, but they were heard shouting out gang epithets. Of course nobody died but it was an attempted mass murder of young high school kids who were about to go to college and that is just disturbing to me. A lot of the house was stained with blood after the incident.

Look at the US list. Massive. Even Canada has quite a few. Quite a few murderous school rampages in Germany and Finland too.
Middle East? Hardly. There was a mass shooting at an Azerbaijan college that killed 13. Another shooting at a Jerusalem school killed 9 and wounded 11.

I was under the impression you were Sekhem or a buddy of his.
Anyway, I initially wanted to say "besides the Middle East." However, the shootings and bombings in the Middle East are usually acts of terrorism and are usually related to religious extremism. The mass shootings that have taken place at public places in the United States were caused by anger against humanity. I have never heard of many shootings at schools in the Middle East.

Why are you such a clueless moron? I'm American, how can I be prejudice to Americans? I honestly don't understand how I said was even prejudice. It is a fact that Americans, like myself, do shoot, stab, and rob each other. Yes it happens in other countries but I used the US as an example because it is a country I am familiar with because it is MY country.
In what other countries do Sandy Hook shootings or Aurora theater shootings happen on a regular basis?

You're a racist idiot. Funny how the Chinese parents in the US and other countries, especially Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, or some in China itself, raise kids who are very likely to become doctors and engineers. Most of them are VERY caring of their kids, and most of Chinese families overseas are very wealthy and well educated.
Why are American people, and I have lived in America my whole life, not caring of their kids? How come I see Americans like me fucking let their kids shoot or stab each other, use hard drugs, steal, rob, and fucking cause trouble in school.
Yes of course. I love the sound and smell of it and it feels very relaxing. The sunshine makes everything feel too fast-paced even though the sun is nice too.

Yes because Tom Fulp is definitely in middle school (only people of middle school age can enter in).
So my cousin who lives in the Baltimore area has a friend who is a contesant for the National Spelling Bee of the year of 2013, and believe it or not he is actually a member on Newgrounds. He is not an everyday user by any means, but he has posted here at least once and lurks the BBS and Flash portal from time to time, but to protect his identity and privacy, I will not release the name of his account unless we are given his consent to do so.
His name is Mitsuki, who is only THIRTEEN and is representing the state of Maryland.
Let us wish him the best of luck and let's hope he can kick some ass this week and win!
