Lock n' Load
« on: April 06, 2013, 03:02:18 pm »
Yes. The biased History Channel show, Lock n' Load, which has Lee Ermey discuss weapons, artillery, tanks, helicopters. Recently I ave watched this, and I have seen how ridiculousness it is. Beyond the annnoying yelling and shouting, and cheesy the show is, I have realized one more thing. It only talks about American weapons, and briefly compares weapons like the M16 against the AK-47, and the American weapons always win.

What's your opinion on this show?

You're surprised that a show hosted by a man who is a hardcore 'Merican is biased?

Also;
annnoying yelling and shouting
They play upon the fact that he was a drill sergeant, and played one in his most well-known role.

Also, also;
'Merica!

A show made by Americans for Americans. We Europeans should keep away from it.

I'm not surprised? It's just annoying, no one is that radical, so the annoying writers just are stupid. He constantly says "VICTORY!" and more stupid shit of "NOW I CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT" after he shoots a watermelon, I know its joking but after the first episode it was done over board.

It's neat for the explosions but not exactly educating.

It's educating seeing what the guns could do to watermelons.

The whole show is made for the back-country hillbillies who want their constant dose of "'MERICA." That's all. Lol.

Yeah, this show is utter shit. Only rednecks and retards watch these kinds of shows. I've been staying away from History channel, national geographic, etc. for a while now. Often their shows are not even history related.

Turks are not European ;)

Who says you are to decide that? There is still debate going on if Turkey is European or Asian, Turkey is in many different EU only contests. Eurovision and European Championship. Anyway, I live in Norway.

Because you seem to be a European elitist. So I thought I'd tell you that you are not, in fact, a European.

He's more like a Turkish nationalist, but when you tell him that, he backs off and shouts NAH I LIVE IN NORWAY

R. Lee Ermey shooting watermelons, kids. That's all there is to it.

They make worse shows on television. But just like any other "comparison" shows on the History Channel, they're typically shit.

A show I do like is "Triggers", which has quite a few of my reenacting friends in them. But I think that's on the Military Channel.

Does that bother you that I also love Norway? Do you want me to be ungratefull that Norwegians accepted my grandfather into their homeland to let him live? Its not easy to live away from my country, but I try my best and Norwegians are really nice people.

BTW: European Elitist? I just wanted to point out that if you aren't American, the 'MURRRICAAA! FUCK YEA stuff would be annoying for you.

I find it considerable funny you talk about how hard it is to live in Norway, away from your people, while presumably you and your parents lived your entire life in Norway.

Seriously, whining about how hard it is to live in Norway, compared to Turkey... Have you ever spent more then a holiday in Turkey?
