Up until recently, my kitties have been fairly well mannered when it comes to mealtime etiquette, but recently I got them a new brand of cat treat (Friskies Natural Sensations) that must contain some form of cat crack. Now they go wild anytime I'm near the kitchen.
We've got these, too. Anything that crinkles like that little bag is suddenly the most interesting thing in the world.

The reaction is more to his self righteous, overly inflated, far reaching, conspiratorial nature more so than the 'core' message. If it'd been a video which had a light hearted feel, and pointed out the reams of posts from friends that are just entries into competitions or playing the apps or that sort of crap (of which I've ended up completely blocking people because about 90% of some people's post are just that crap), and that maybe not posting what your dreams were about each night... or you know, just common etiquette, it may have done really well, and probably been posted by people on facebook as a non direct way of telling others 'um, you're being sort of dicks on this thing'.
But no, he tried to insinuate he knows all, and that anyone using facebook is a mindless sheep, and that there is no good to come from it.
Well he can go back to his conspiracy bullshit on his websites and youtube videos and continue to think he knows better than everyone.
And die unhappy having changed nothing.


Makes sense.

<NitPick>People thing Federal Reserve Issued currency is real money too. It's not any more real than bitcoin; it's just the belief that makes it real. </NitPick>
Other than that, great vid. I'm still working up the guts to ditch FB. It makes me miserable seeing all the surface level BS people's lives are becoming, yet I have a hard time deleting my acct. .... neeeed ... more .... willpower.
Edit: I'm a bit surprised at the reaction here. I guess I'm in the minority (of the vocal) on VS. It would be interesting to see people's reaction to this based on age. I'm old enough to not be "old" (I'd like to think) but to have seen a substantial part of my adult life with and without facebook, and on the whole I think real friendships sustain more harm from these tools than good. The base notion of FB creates an incentive for people to view their own life the the prism of mass consumption which I think really does change behavior in a generally bad way.
That said, I'm not blaming it for the downfall of modern society or anything, just asserting it's a net-negative. If more people deleted their accounts I'm confident we'd be better off overall, and I'm trying to work up the courage to take the lead on that.

I'm saying that it's up to us to get over our non-confrontational ways and let people know we've been wronged - and demand acknowledgement. It's called living in a community, bitches.>> ^criticalthud:

The people who act callously are the ones who find it most difficult to say sorry and mean it. Saying sorry for them is forcing them to shine a lightt on their own faults. An empathetic person would not have done something like that in the first place - but if they did - would not have a problem with apologising.
Saying sorry and meaning it is how callous people become less callous.

and the problem was not that the older girl didn't apologize. the problem is that she acted callously. as such, it was a perfect opportunity for the little girls to learn something useful.
here's how you handle it:
dad: hey girls - see how that girl just bumped into you because she wasn't paying attention to anything but herself?
Don't be like her.
and teaching your child to be aware of what proper etiquette is in a given culture is a far far different thing than teaching them to expect it.


so, you're going to demand that people feel a certain way, according to your expectations? good luck with that!!!!

No probs... it happens. The usual process is to call dupeof on it - which I can't do as my vid is the original. That way votes are transferred and not wasted. Cheers!
In reply to this comment by DarkenRahl:
I apologize for the dupe. I did my best to try and find if someone posted it, but I only have time to keyword search, watch the top 15, and rely on the dupe check process during submission. it seems had I come to the party two hours later i would have seen your submission.

Is there any value in using the YouTube from mine as a backup?

Otherwise, what is the etiquette? Should I discard mine or kill mine?

There's a growing minority in Japan worshiping every aspects of African-American culture, especially in the music scene like hip-hop or jazz. The funny thing is that even though they're doing it out of love, their method of respect for African-American culture come off as incredibly racist and demonstrate a very shallow understanding of its people.

The Japanese have their own theory of what 'being black' is and it is purely based on western media. They keep the same stereotype that exists throughout North America that all blacks are athletic, good at music, dance, and not very interested in academia. But because being black makes everything about you cool, all the stereotypes and racist biases become cool as well. So not doing your homework or putting on a black-face make up is okay now, because Africans don't do homework and their skin is black. The youth of Japan especially identify with these traits (even though they're all savagely politically incorrect from a western point of view) because they identify with dancing and not doing homework more than they do with strict Japanese social etiquette, so they celebrate all the biased and want to imitate them, without understanding how these racist ideas about blacks really came about.

It's weird and ironic and hilarious and wrong in this twisted, fastidious way in all aspects. It's fucking amazing.

Not at all. It is almost a requirement and completely acceptable, unless of course you are submitting a video that you dislike as a joke... then you can in turn downvote your own vid.
