So, yeah, this is my topic....

I was reading threads today, and as I've experienced other days, this was a response: "If it bleeds, we can kill it."

I welcome responses and explanations as to this response TO ANYTHING....at the same time there are threads about intolerance....

It is funny, almost, though too horrific and sad, to be really funny, actually.....but what represents intolerance more than this quote, really?

It is a quote from the movie Predator and like many things that almost become a meme it's often used to convey a general idea vs actually the act of killing something.

thanks for all your replies....but this still begs the question.....


and so we are going to "kill" whatever bleeds, or read: whatever we blame, or coalesce around that concept...
sincerely,

Yeah, I've heard various explanations, but the last, didn't get anything.

Where are we, truly, with this? And does that not concern you?
and if it doesnt, why not.

I've got lots of answers here, including but not limited to, "if it moves, we can kill it..."

The definitions of what you can kill are not what I am after; but what makes yuou think you have the right to kill anything and judge it as to that.....

I see responses like that all the time here.

Or my personal open minded favourite " We should just nuke them all"

I still don't even know what it is. When I knew what it was, it was different. Now I don't know what it is, and it sounds different. Or is it, no.. is it the same?

What is it?

Ahhrgh kill it with fire...

Didn't someone post today about "IT?" I think the gist was "IT" is love or something like that. Didn't read about killing it though.

More context.

Nazareth didn't kill it either, they just hurt it and made it cry.

Edit - Wait, it did die after they hurt it, my bad.

For the love of god people..it is a quote from a movie... like I said earlier and then a follow up user even provided the actual clip ..

It is essentially a meme at this point. It the modern context it has nothing to do with killing or violence. Here is the entry for it from the Urban Dictionary.


" If it bleeds, we can kill it "

Much like Get to da choppa! this is a much quoted line by the character Dutch in the action film Predator.
played by-Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Must be said barely audibly, due to an over sized cigar or sum such stand in prop and a thick Austrian accent.

Can be used in any number of social situations often regarding an overly optimistic and highly unlikely outcome.

arnold was speaking in terms of enemy hostiles. predator was an enemy hostile killing mercenaries and since it's life essence was able to spill glowingly it boosted morale at least for the viewer

What is it, and why is it bleeding, and what has it done to warrant killing?

Context. Context. Context.
