"I believe there are nuances and unknowns being ignored or unknown to ChaosEngine and yourself that is clouding both of your viewpoints here."

By the way, this opinion is again not an 'argument' much less a 'fact'.

"I must agree with you there. Compensated emancipation, if it could have been done successfully and non-violently (big if's), would be preferable in my eyes to 'war'"

And yet, this is one of Napolitano's arguments that Stewart decided to ridicule (thus inspiring my original comment). But as a 'comedian' he can get away with non-arguments and instead rely on "funny faces" and other contortions (unlike some other folks I can mention). Maybe some eye-rolling.

I think *kids would love this little cutie with the funny face

Didn't watch much Roseanne back when it was first shown. Watched the first two seasons recently, and I loved it.
What kills me about Jackie: She's well written, and as a little sister to a control freak like Roseanne they don't have to do much to get my sympathy. And then Metcalf does those Jim Carrey style funny faces and I remember that I'm watching a sitcom.

Ah! I see what the problem is! You and I see the video differently!!

I see a man trying to make his baby laugh at first so that WHEN he does the laugh that he knows will scare her, she will make that "funny" scared face -- he KNOWS she will be scared and that "funny" face is coming.

You don't think he knows it is coming.

You see one thing in this video. I see it differently. We don't have to agree that that is what is going on here. I may be wrong. You may be wrong.

Regardless what happens in this particular video, it doesn't change my point that it is fucked up to tease your young child for your own amusement. And I was careful to say repeatedly -- baby and small child. Kids get teased. Parents will tease, siblings will tease. My point is -- wait for the mental development to be in place. Babies and small children need time to grow first. They don't understand.

I haven't used the word torture since my first post. Sorry it seems to have caught your attention so strongly.

No, sorry, I still don't buy that it's "fucked up" to do that to a kid. To try to make it laugh and fail is not fucked up. It's not right to call it torture or say that it's abuse because you demean what child abuse and torture really mean when you do that.
It's a staggering coincidence you grew up with a series of pictures of you in this situation in your family album, and that it traumatised you to such an extent. I wonder what your father would say if he read that you thought that about him - that the time when he tried to make you laugh but he failed and you cried instead, he was torturing you, abusing you, and enjoying it.

All I am saying is.... Show kindness. Understand that babies and small children are not complicated thinkers. Their worlds are different and more simple.

Well, I finally see why Bleck calls himself a rodeo clown. I could never watch him long enough to see the weird "funny" faces.

FUNKY CHICKEN.
One of those things that suck, cos they bust their GUTS getting to this point - and if they are just not physiologically inclined to take the G's then they have to leave.


Yeah, I thought the same thing. I hope we're not watching people fail out of their career choice?

The female instructor sounds pretty unsympathetic to these guys after she's just choked their brains of oxygen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-LOC).

It's like subterfuge, but more evil.

very original, which is tough these days. Also, I found myself making funny faces at a few points while watching, so it must have go to me a bit.

I didn't really read that much into the YT description honestly. I think I just copy/pasted theirs for sake of time. No, I don't think it is stupid to tone your facial muscles, to look silly, to have fun or to do any combination of the three. Even if I did, I fail to see how my opinion would influence someone's voting since upvoting/downvoting is supposed to be on content or substance of the video rather than the views expressed by the submitter.

>> ^peggedbea:
why would it be stupid to tone your facial muscles? they look silly, but theyre having fun and toning muscles?
ill abstain my vote until you explain
edit: there, ill be less pissy about it since it appears to be the yt description, but still ... seriously?
