Upvote just for breaking Videosift with the title.

A Fox News anchor attacking religious conservatives?

That homeless-looking guy in the square was right, these are definitely the end times.

Mad as a snake, but what magnificent fellow.

That's rather the point of the video, isn't it? BP are the ones who were all "¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ... sorry".

This event and others like it happened because someone thought it was worth the risk for money.

Actually a lot of people did; the company, whose major decision-makers will only be concerned if it affects the value of their beach properties, and even then may not notice.

The government, which for various reasons allows the exploitation of natural resources like this. Those reasons range from direct cash deposits in offshore accounts, to the general notions of what's "good for the economy" held by our corporate-entertained politicians.

Environmental risk management should be done with zero regard to the likelihood of said risk; assume it *will* happen and work from there.

But no, that's sandal-wearing, beard-and-vegetable-growing lib*/greenie/hippy talk.

Damn, I've been pissed off with the customer service of some of the big US web hosts, but never to this extent.

Oil crusades in the middle east, and fat envelopes for Wall Street thieves won't pay for themselves. You people will have to make do.

You don't have to be faster than your owner, just a leash-length further away.

The only problem with "freebooting" is it's a euphamism.

This seems more like commercial piracy.

I'd love to see what would happen if someone yelled "ALLAHU AKBAR" nearby.

The Silmarillion is strictly for Tolkien completionists. Most of it is incredibly dull history with name after name, who begat who and who they fought with.

It's like reading actual dull history, only fictional.

I admire Tolkien for writing it though. True devotion, even obsession with his world.

I think Mythbusters looked at this issue in the context of toothbrushes residing within a few metres of the toilet.

The upshot was yes, you're literally getting shit on your toothbrush, but not very much.

The EDL (represented here by the driver) certainly seem to be pretty horrible shits.

However my own liberal live-and-let-live inclinations definitely face a problem when confronted with radical Islam and other toxic memes.

How does such a liberal philosophy deal with an opposing philosophy which will fundamentally not live-and-let-live?

It's the pacifist versus the warrior, and moral victories are a bit useless when they are posthumous.

Of course none of this is helped by the moneyfuckers led by the United States and Great Britain, who are more than happy with this fire while they are selling fuel and firefighting equipment.


Oh look a honking cat! Heeheehee!

I can't quite see the case for why this death is so outrageous. He's a big guy who it appears was physically assaulting an armed police officer. That is never going to end in a discussion and mutual agreement.

Seems like the community overreacted because colours, then the cops massively overreacted in return and demonstrated they have far too large a budget for soldier toys.

There's the naturey drama, several big cats, and the meta-drama around the film maker. I'd say there's something for everyone there.
