I live in florida and havent heard anything about this

[Derrick01]

all of you wanting to eliminate florida are no better than hitler. he wanted to eliminate something too.

No one would have a problem with getting rid of Florida though. Just let me get out first, I hate this place more than most people who don't.

[Baconsammy]

South Florida is awesome. Would move back in a heartbeat.

[dagZ]

My feelings right now: [img]

you might want to edit that gif out.

[MiniBossBattle]

Feels so mean spirited. Why does this exist?

[LowKeyedUp]

Seriously that .gif is no bueno. What is that even from?

[Kusagari]

Not all of Florida is bad. Only 95% of it. There are some awesome small pockets in the state.

[Gattsu25]

The second Punisher movie.

[Talon]

So this is terrible.

[timetokill]

Manos?

...really?

[Dreams-Visions]

I live in florida and havent heard anything about this

I do and have. Local news in Miami, brah.

[CrushDance]

...really?

Can someone explain this to me please?

[chaostrophy]

Stay classy gun owners. Stay classy.

I'm a gun owner myself and disgusted by this...IMO the people who make and buy this stuff are pretty much making an argument for increased gun control, because they're showing that mentally unbalanced people can own guns. It's the last thing that responsible gun owners want to see.

[Gattsu25]

Can someone explain this to me please?

The is a poster on GAF called "Manos: The Hans of Fate"

Not sure that I get the specific reference to the poster, though.

[childplease]

As messed up as that is the guy is a smart man for thinking of that.

Paper targets especially those zombie ones are quite expensive 1 to 2 dollars each and they must cost under 5 cents to manufacture so the profits must be insane. I would imagine he is getting a similar profit margin out of these paper targets he must have made some decent coin out of this very low risk venture.

[GotEmRunnin]

South Florida is awesome. Would move back in a heartbeat.

South Florida is not Florida. If you catch my drift. Anything from Hollywood Fla thru the Keys' should be considered a separate state.

Also This. from a African American Gun Owner's perspective.

Yeah, I've seen him around and all. Yet I'm lost as to what the guy did or does that makes him the subject of these comments. I'm guessing hardcore gun guy or something?

[Dram]

I think he was defending Zimmerman when the murder first made the news.

[Imm0rt4l]

Serious question: Has anything like this ever happened in regards to a caucasian person? I seriously cannot recall anytime that a teenager has been killed and their death being so questioned and "entrepreneurial" gigs beyond selling merchandise in their MEMORY has been accepted.

No.

He starts most of the pro gun and pro concealed carry threads on GAF.

Much nicer than I would have been in replying to that bullshit...

[Vyrance]

South Florida should be its own state... as long as it includes the Treasure Coast ;p

[CrushDance]

Welcome to Merica, CrushDance.

F that! lol. I considered moving from here to there years ago when I was younger for school. Good thing my parents rationally broke it down for me. I'm not saying Canada is perfect or that we don't have our own problems. But it is not on the same level as the U.S. it *seems* from the constant stream of ridiculous things I see and hear. Granted, there are 300m people there so the chances of things going wrong only increases. But:

1) Guns

2) High Homophobia

3) Prominent gangs

4) Drugs

5) No healthcare

6) Tuition costs

7) Serious racial problems

8) Too many world enemies

9) Overzealous religious base

It's just too much. Add in the fact that you're a minority and it's a tough uphill battle that I wouldn't want for myself or anyone else really. Canada isn't paradise, not at all. But the only things I ever have to be truly cautious about are drunk people on weekends(Not really a problem in a smallish city with few bars), going into shady areas, getting jumped and stupidly cold weather. I've never had to truly worry about someone pulling a gun on me, offering me drugs or getting shot at for no reason. These things DO happen, don't get me wrong. But on a much lesser scale.

Our "freedom of speech", openness, and gun laws are very helpful in that. But, we'll see as the country continues to grow rapidly how things turn out. I do know that a lot of the shit I hear about wouldn't fly here. That Fred Phelps guy in particular just makes my stomach turn.

I had a Saddam Hussein dart board from the first Iraq war. I recall gun targets being available too. Similar products were available for Osama.


So yeah, they're Caucasian. Of course they were also an abusive dictator and a terrorist ... so ...

[CherryWoodFuton]

From Hollywood on down it's quite diverse and a great place to live. If you can stand the humidity, which the thongs make up for. Mmmm.

Fixed.
I live in Davie and it's pretty much redneck city

[Deified Data]

He holds some opinions contrary to GAF mainstream and he's often pulled out as a strawman because of it. Sometimes he warrants frustrated responses, sometimes GAF is just being childish.

[First Name]

So is this for real? I thought it was a hoax. :(

[Baconsammy]

Fixed. I live in Davie and it's pretty much redneck city

I lived in Boca Raton. Never saw a redneck in Florida until I hit the panhandle.

[SouthernDragon]

The fuck is this shit.

[cdyhybrid]

I blame all the weirdos who move from other states for making Florida seem bad.

Like Tebow?

[TAJ]

The second Punisher movie.

The third Punisher movie, and that's just the official ones.

[Blastoise]

My feelings right now:

Wait, So we can post gifs like this. But tits are banned?!

[GaimeGuy]

Wait, So we can post gifs like this. But tits are banned?!

sex bad. Violence good. </America>

[Clydefrog]

My feelings right now:

how the fuck are you not banned yet?

[KuroNeeko]

South Florida is awesome. Would move back in a heartbeat.

Some of South Florida is awesome. You have some real dangerous places out there though. I'd probably go so far as to say that there about 4-5 pockets of civilization in the Sunshine State. The rest is split between whacked out slums and hillbilly country.

I lived in Boca Raton. Never saw a redneck in Florida until I hit the panhandle.

Boca Raton is in one of those pockets.

Fixed. I live in Davie and it's pretty much redneck city

Davie is pretty out there.

My feelings right now: [img][/img]

Tasteless.

[Jacob]

Since when are/were Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden caucasian? Or did I completely misunderstand you?

Edit: And I think the Osama targets/bumper stickers/t-shirts of him being eaten by a redneck (a woman at the local gym is fond of that last one) are tasteless as well. But this Trayvon one really takes the cake since there's absolutely no legitimate reason for people to be upset at the kid or happy about his death. Just what the fuck.

[DeaconKnowledge]

The stupid part about this is that the opposite sentiment would be far more financially lucrative.

[robertsan21]

I have not followed this case with Trayvon Martin, but was he innocent and just got murdered for not doing anything wrong?

[KuroNeeko]

I have not followed this case with Trayvon Martin, but was he innocent and just got murdered for not doing anything wrong?

That question that remains and will be settled in court, is whether or not the man suspected of killing him acted in self-defense when he shot Trayvon Martin. I would recommend reading up on the case before asking such a provocative question, just because it's a sensitive topic.

[Sentry]

Guys, that gif has been posted on GAF a hundred times before. It's from the Punisher movie, and believe it or not, actually a really comedic scene in the movie. Not exactly ban-worthy imo..

[IrishNinja]

The more I read of Florida, the more I wish it was nuked from orbit.

I mean, Florida already has a ton of old people waiting to die. Let's just nuke it already.

cool thanks guys

Miami doesn't count as Florida right? Right???!!?!?! :(

we both know it shouldn't; we've got fuckall to do with anything north of disney, save tallahassee somehow controlling our budgets and shit.

Thanks GAF for the daily reminder that my state is the worst in the country. Trying so hard to leave :(

with that attitude, we'll never pull off a meetup, man!

Its a piece of Cuba that broke off and floated to Florida.

it's an old joke, but still true. herald swears we'll have more venezuelans in the coming years though.

From West Palm on down it's quite diverse and a great place to live. If you can stand the humidity, which the thongs make up for. Mmmm.

co-signed

South Florida is awesome. Would move back in a heartbeat.

we'd take you back, man! we're looking for qualified applicants.

South Florida should be its own state... as long as it includes the Treasure Coast ;p

motion accepted, but gravijah lives there so that has to be considered.

Fixed. I live in Davie and it's pretty much redneck city

oh yeah, forgot about Davie...it's weird like that, like you go a half hour north and it's a preview of ocala or something. nice if you like horses though i guess.

[smr00]

I feel bad for the normal people who live in flordia because everyday you hear news about stupid fucking shit like this that takes place in flordia.

Then again they are banning hugging/hand holding in schools here because it's a gateway to sex... fucking tennessee

[Jackpot]

you might want to edit that gif out.

The gif was made by a gaffer and has been posted many times around the OT. So until a mod decides to change their views on that, no I will not.

edit:

Thank you.

I doubt Florida is a worse state than Mississippi or Alabama. and I doubt it beats Texas or Arizona in the nutjob department.

[Talon]

Mars, Inc. should sue the shit out of the seller. Would be a fitting response.

[Sho_Nuff82]

It's hard to comprehend how mean-spirited you have to be to not just think that Treyvon deserved to die, but that he deserves thousands of people pissing on his grave. If his image was replaced with any black celebrity of note, would the response have been so fervent?

[BHZ Mayor]

I would imagine so with Barack Obama, especially now with the gay marriage support.

[Bay Maximus]

That about sums it up.

I would be for this. I'm sure they could.

I agree it's completely tasteless. While the Saddam/Osama ones are quite base, at least they were legitimately bad people. This Trayvon stuff is just sick (and obviously racially motivated).

I was just pointing out that technically there are Caucasian examples, just that you typically will only see 'bad' people. For example, I'm sure Hitler targets can probably be found as well. Basically whoever is the 'enemy'.


I'd guess the only time you'd see something like this for a non-enemy Caucasian would be maybe for some sort of gay rights leader or poster child?
