The vast majority of people's best come out in a disaster.
Fancy restaurant makes sandwiches for volunteers.
These teams only reward...
...is this.
That dog has found 52 people in the buildings that have collapsed in Mexico city.
Stores opened their doors and you only paid if you could afford it.
But even that can't get them through the weeks (maybe months) before they get back to normal.

PEOPLE BEHAVING LIKE DICKS
A Serbian paramilitary soldier kicks the body of executed Bosnian Muslims in the first day of the Bosnian war in Bijeljina, Yugoslavia (now Bosnia and Herzegovina) in 1992. The soldiers, after capturing parts of the city in a raid, killed between 200-300 Bosniaks. According to witnesses such as the cameraman of this picture, virtually all of them were not only unarmed, but many were women and children. The were brought out of there homes, lined up, and executed.

Soldiers pose for a picture at a mass grave site for the victims of the Wounded Knee Massacre in South Dakota, US, in 1890. The Lakota Sioux Native Americans had their lands seized by the US government for years, and armed conflicts had risen because of it. However, this group, led by Chief Spotted Elk, had moved to the reservation and were to be disarmed. They consisted of around 500 people, with half being women and children. During the weapons search and removal, a deaf warrior who did not speak English refused to disarm. When he got into a scuffle his weapon fired. At the same time, a medicine man was pumping up the warriors with a dance. Suddenly, a few warriors fired, and a small battle ensued. 500 armed troopers had all the Lakota Sioux surrounded at the time it began. Some 31 soldiers were killed, with another 33 wounded.

A liberated American prisoner gets to kick a captured Japanese guard at the Rokuroshi POW Camp in 1945. Some of the Americans were held in various camps for over 3 years. The Japanese mistreated most of the American, British and French they captured inside these camps, which were kept separate from any captured Asian soldier camps. Usually they would starve them and having routine beatings. The also used them as forced labor on railroad projects. Many died in the camps because of this.

Afghan students and civilians wave goodbye to the departing Soviet forces from the Herat Province in Afghanistan in 1986. The USSR invaded the country in 1979. They immediately had immense problems in their fights, as the enemy was determined and knew the land well. The land is full of mountains and it makes hiding and guerilla warfare ideal, causing any invading force to struggle with control. Not only that, the US supplied the Afghan mujahideen insurgency, A major weapon they gave them was guided rockets that could shoot down Soviet choppers. This all but ensured the Soviets could not win this war. What's worse for them is the Soviets pretty much bankrupted themselves fighting this war, and within 2 years of leaving Afghanistan in 1989, the USSR dissolved. Some people call this war the Soviet Vietnam.

People form a human chain on the streets of Kiev, Ukraine in 1990. This was done to mark the Act of Unification of UPR and ZUNR as Ukraine pushes for its own independence. Long had it been one of the key territories of the USSR, it would peacefully get its wish in 1991. However, ever since and still to this day Ukraine has been a major player in the West vs the East chess game as it has active conflicts with Russian separatists going on right now and at times has had a split government on which side to ally itself with.

German soldiers in their trench picking lice out of their clothes during a quiet moment somewhere on the front in Northern France in 1916. On both sides soldiers had to endure unimaginable things just while in the trenches. Lice, rising water in the trenches causing trench foot, infections, colds, and numerous other ailments were brutal to soldiers at times.

Irish Free State soldiers fire artillery on the 4 courts which are occupied by the Irish Republican Army in Dublin, Ireland in 1922.
After nearly 700 years of British rule, Ireland brokered a treaty to have their own government, but gave up part of the north and had to swear allegiance to the Crown. This literally split the Irish army, and much of the population. After the Irish elected officials and the public voted in favor of the treaty, the IRA seized key government centers and the Irish Civil War erupted. What's interesting is the British supplied all the artillery, armored vehicles, and many weapons to the Irish Free State. This gave them an overwhelming advantage, and the war ended in less than a year. The 2 main Free State leaders died during the conflict.

This is actually a common sign. I know because I am an avid swimmer and have permanent diarrhea. It's more a suggestion than a rule though!

You PAY your doctor good money to tend to your and your families health. Not vaccinating is to health like not putting oil in your car even though your mechanic tells you to. Or setting your pizza box upside down on the seat even though the pizza guy told you not to. Or flushing wet wipes down the toilet...oh, you get the point.
This whole ugly mess disgusts me.

About Leg Day: When you go to the gym and give everything you've got to the workout. The endorphins are flowing, the adrenalin is pumping, and the sweat is running like rivers off of your body. That shaky leg feeling proves to you and everyone around that you're serious about your time spent, that you're not afraid to break it down to build it up. When you're standing at the top of the 3 step rise outside the gym door, contemplating which way you want to direct your fall, cursing the pussy-ass architect who probably never worked his legs a day in life, so would never know the agony of those steps. As you finally get to your car, get in and sit down and think to your self "Oh fuck...I drive a stick" and know its going to be a long, painful ride home. Sitting there in your car, shaking like a drunk with the DT's, watching as a lycra clad gymbunny traipses to her car, complaining to her friend on the phone that her trainer made her do squats AND lunges today and how she almost ruined her makeup, and wanting to aim your car at her, thinking you could use the leg day defense in court.
That is Leg Day.
