Funny news stories

I'll start with something I heard on the radio this morning. Nothing quite so amusing as criminals who chose the wrong trade in life.

VR = Valtion Rautatiet which basically means "State's Railways" They currently have monopoly for all train traffic in Finland.

When it's winter, there are news about "Wìnter surprised VR!" as trains are getting delayed due to snow and freezing temperatures.

Soon spring comes, and the snow starts to melt and temperatures rise, which causes delays because it damages the tracks or something..

In summer, the trains overheat, causing delays and hot temperatures inside them:

In autumn, there are leaves on the tracks causing train wheels to slip, making trains unable to brake or accelerate, causing delays.

I don't know if other countries have so many issues with trains..

Seeing this I realize why americans need guns: This is so blantantly false and utterly bullshit that a bullet to the brainstem would be an upgrade for that guy (and the rest of the world). Anyone who believes such demagoges (Göbbels would have been proud of him) should be fucked back and be aborted.

I honestly would not wonder if someone would apply his own words of "that it is the moral right—and even the obligation—of human beings everywhere to actively plan and carry out the killing of those engaged in heinous crimes against humanity" (which was aimed at monsanto guys, which I must admit he is right about them all deserving to be executed to deter others from following their path) on him, likely as as retaliation for some loved one who (deservedly, for being stupid enough to listen and buying into the shit on that site) died from following the scam advices he's giving.

Given my experience as a moderator here I had thought that I had seen the bottom of humanity, but this is (by far) a new low.

You mean like how White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee-Sanders is always trying to explain Trumps midnight tweets?

Mostly with drunk operators...

I'd comment, but I'm afraid my comments I was writing aren't appropriate for political discussion. Best if I leave it to non-US citizens to say such things. I don't want the men in black showing up at my door for insurrectionist speech.

That guy didn't even expose the Democrats' plan to force all Americans to merge into CORE. 2/10.
