Why thank you, I'll be back to visit your unsifted folder tomorrow morning. You've got plenty of time so find something good for me to watch.

The site traffic is based on my observations alone...I just don't notice as many votes or comments on my own videos on weekends. I also like to check to see who's online quite often, and there don't seem to be as many people. You can see that if you click on the sift talk forum tab. The current users online are listed to the right if you scroll down that page a bit.

Get lucky...you just put that song in my head. Good song!

This video is meaningless without time stamps. I've heard it was taken 4 hours after the event, more than enough time for Zimmerman to clean up. Is there no record of anyone anywhere treating his injuries?

-----
Please enjoy the Evil Zimmerman Theory, based on the idea that Zimmerman planned to corner and execute a minority, which is the radical left's consensus:

1) Zimmerman sees the target (Martin) and decides to directly confront him.

2) To cover his ass, Zimmerman calls 911, creating audio evidence of the encounter. Because his judge father is so beloved that every single cop on the force will hide or distort all forensic evidence in his favor, he's not worried. Also, because he "owns" the police, Zimmerman doesn't care if they catch him in the act (or beat him to the target).

3) Without knowing 100% if Martin himself is armed (or working solo), lone vigilante Zimmerman walks/runs within audio range (20-50 feet?) of Martin and starts yelling racial slurs to get Martin to attack him. He yells the slurs with confidence, since the 911 operator will scrub any lines from Martin like, "Mister don't shoot!" or "I'm unarmed!"

4) Zimmerman has lied to 911 about being lost, he knows exactly where he is, and he knows when he confronts Martin, it will be in a place Martin has nowhere to run. Zimmerman also knows that even if there was an escape route, instead of running away, Martin will take the bait and attack him.

5) Before all this Zimmerman has drawn his gun and put in his pocket (or already has it there). He says some more things to get Martin to attack, and Martin charges him. Zimmerman has to very carefully time this. Shoot too soon (outside of 25 feet) and it looks like what it is, a planned hit. Wait too long and Martin will get the drop on him, beat the shit out of him and probably kill him in an adrenalin-filled rage, with or without taking his gun away.

6) Zimmerman gets lucky and shoots Martin once around 10 feet. Even though he has "diplomatic immunity" through owning the local police through family ties, he doesn't bother emptying his gun into the fallen Martin to end the slightest possiblilty that Martin might pull through and testify against him.

7) Zimmerman has no idea how many witnesses--if any--heard or saw the ruckus or possibly even filmed it. He doesn't care: the police are backing him up. He flops around in the grass and whacks his head a few times, drawing blood, but just enough that a backup alibi about a scuffle could go either way. He knows his father will lie for him, but the lies do have to be consistent.

-------------------------------

The Evil Zimmerman Theory will remain theory until the forensic evidence about shooting distances/angles/et al. is released.

Yeah it does seem harsh. In Olympic track and field don't you get one "free" false start before being disqualified?


As I remember it...one person jumps and then the entire field is docked. The next person even if it's not the same person is disqualified.

EDIT: To remedy this I think they should hold multiple races...not just heats but like a tournament of races. It would be a lot more exciting and it would put a premium on being consistent rather than getting lucky on a good start.

I've had problems with the Onion's native video embed as well (see: http://parody.videosift.com/talk/Help-with-an-Onion-video-embed)

The best advice I've gotten is to jump onto their youtube channel and embed from there. I couldn't find the wind video on their youtube channel either, so I don't know what else to offer. I couldn't get lucky's spacebar trick to work with the iframe embed.

I very much dislike Kevin O'Leary. He's the voice for american style right wing BS about how the government is terrible.

I'm not sure what his qualifications to be talking about economics are besides getting lucky in the life-lottery and being a successful businessman.

I should try this on my wife. Maybe I'll get lucky then!

You have to be 18 to be eligible to win, and it looks like the guy who sold the ticket could possibly be under 18. There were three ways to get a ticket, win a tournament, win one in a quick draw event or get lucky and catch one of the last few that they wrap up in shirts and toss out. If he's under 18, the only way he could have gotten a ticked was to have caught a shirt with a ticket.

Thanks for the reply, Netrunner.
>> ^NetRunner:
For example, does Judge Judy deserve to make vastly more money than Sandra Day O'Connor?
They both knew the rules of the game, and one of them is in greater compliance with those rules. However, most wealth is created by being savvy, rather than getting lucky as an athlete or an entertainer.
>> ^NetRunner:
This is just a restatement of the libertarian assumption, not really an argument for its veracity.
That seems like trying to distinguish 'making an argument' from 'making an argument'. Aren't your positions simply a restatement of the liberal assumption?
>> ^NetRunner:
Is Sandra Day O'Connor weighed down from success by her "predictably bad ideology"?
She's just one more government bureaucrat, and probably has a terrible personal life and terrible general intellectual life beyond law. She willingly chose a limited (but still extraordinary) path, knowing the range of outcomes that could occur, so she deserves whatever she gets.


Here's the type of deal I'd be happy to commit to: If people like this http://videosift.com/video/Spring-Break-Couple-Dance-Fail bring sports, alcohol, smoking & drug consumption, and protesting (http://videosift.com/video/G20-Protest-that-was-Stolen-from-the-Peaceful-Majority?loadcomm=1#comment-1028436) down to 10% of current levels, start reading at least 1000 science articles per year, getting rigorous exercise daily, and eating a paleo diet, I'll agree to re-distribute the fruits of my labor.
