    As an ex-cop from the US, I equally get a kick out of the “pig” memes and the “yank” memes; it seems people really enjoy them and they’re neither harmful nor offensive. I only get confused when I occasionally realize that their users sometimes think it really hurts us.

        The bastard one is a little more evocative, but:

        1. I know I’m not / wasn’t one by any reasonable definition of “bastard”

        2. I know it comes from a misguided place of anger so it doesn’t bother me a whole lot anyway

        I end up just feeling… sad for the effect it has on driving decent people away from law enforcement, which of course raises the % of Bastards overall.

        I’m confused is this a new guy using the same picture or did he change his name?

          There was a time on the other plattform, where everyone would comment “Fuck Xavier!” on posts like this, so i always thought it’s someone who stole the Profile Pic and content, but i don’t know for sure. All this happened a long time ago and seems to have been forgotten long since.

            Yes, pakalu papito was the original account that used that picture and generally was funnier. Xavier is a copycat account that sort of just posts existing jokes.

    And the french pigs don’t pronounce 70% of the letters in Ouinque, just like the rest of the French language.

        do you know that?

        Good question let me check:

        Am I alive? Yes

        Do I live in Australia? Yes

        Is American content spread all over Australia like an invasive pest: Yes

        We are deeply aware of all your American issues, I even heard you American fuckups failed to kill a lady the other day? Why because Americas news is somehow our news as well

        I don’t care about your police, your healthcare, your gun problem, your school problem, your government problem, I want to look at memes, not a fucking screenshot of a FACEBOOK POST with 500 UPVOTES

          It is a meme, it’s not an actual Facebook post. Most of these are “fake” posts, made to look like they’re from fb, twitter, tumblr, 4chan etc.

          Maybe make Australia super powerful and then fuck it up? Because right now American issues are your issues and guess what if America tells Australia to go to war it will, America has done it before and the last guy to oppose that disappeared into the ocean

    American pigs “I don’t need a warrant”

    “Give me your ID or I’ll arrest you”

      As someone who has two yard dogs on his farm, yes they’re incredibly intelligent. They’re the first things to greet me when I get home from work and love cuddles.

      But the reason cops are called pigs is because the stereotypical “pig-cops” are generally fat and eat a lot. Which can confirm, my pigs are fat and eat a lot.

      But unlike cops, pigs are horrifically fast. When they come in from the fields and want to run, they can RUN! If our hay fields get higher than they are it looks like the raptor scene from Jurassic Park 2
