Once you declare a video * dead you have to wait 48 hours before someone beside the original poster can fix it. If the original poster does not fix it in that time frame then it goes to the Dead Pool. Once it's there there's a link you can click that says "fix video embed code". That is where you can replace the bad one with the good one. Because you had just declared it * dead you wouldn't be able to fix it immediately.

Don't worry; I just fixed it. Thanks anyway!

I wanted to fix this one, but I still can't figure out how to bring them back from the dead. How do you do it?

Oh, they were playing, they just definitely weren't amped. An unmic'd acoustic playing with some distortion on it during the chorus? Not a chance.

Also, massive lol at some of those stoic expressions in the audience.

>> ^oxdottir:
I have a vid of the same event with no bar, but the video is much fuzzier. I chose the bar--at least partly because I found it interesting.
And that forehead is all brains, man. Don't you love a woman with a nice butt, a sensuously writhing body, and A GIANT SEETHING BRAIN?


For the win.

Alizée with J'en ai marre (the live sexy version)

oxdottir says...

J'en ai marre

J’ai la peau douce
Dans mon bain de mousse
Je m’éclabousse
J’en ris
Mon poisson bouge
Dans mon bain de mousse
Je l’emmitoufle, je
Lui dis

J’ai pas d’problèmes, je fainéantes
Pas de malaises, je fainéante
Dans l’eau je baigne, c’est l’important
Bien à mon aise, dans l’air du temps

J’ai la peau douce
Dans mon bain de mousse
Je bulle à l’ombre
Des bombes
Tout est délice
Délit docile :
Je fais la liste
Des choses qui
M’indisposent

J’en ai marre de ceux qui pleurent,
Qui ne roulent qu'à deux à l’heure,
Qui se lamentent et qui s’fixent

Sur l’idée d’une idée fixe
J’en ai marre de ceux qui râlent,
Des extrémistes à deux balles,
Qui voient la vie tout en noir
Qui m’expédient dans l’cafard
J’en ai marre de la grande s’ur,
Qui gémit tout et qui pleure,
Marre de la pluie, des courgettes
Qui m’font vomir sous la couette
J’en ai marre de ces cyniques,
Et dans les prés, les colchiques,
J’en ai marre d'en avoir marre ! Aussi

J’ai la peau douce
Dans mon bain de mousse
Pas de secousses
Sismiques
Je me prélasse
Et me délasse,
C’est mon état aquatique
Y’a comme un hic

The Atheist Delusion

dannym3141 says...

"Dawkins is a good scientist - I would not deny that - but over the years he has moved from being a scientific sceptic to a preacher of intolerance." -- gwaan

not even finished reading the discussion, but that's absolute crap

"I like how Dawkins says he won't talk about the text of the bible as it is akin to arguing with someone about mother goose." -- qrei (or whatever your name is)

is that the sort of intolerance you're thinking of? because - in the words of your peers - that's not literal, man! he's making a point.. vis. "how can god have introduced so many variants of human beings when he began with only 2 caucasians?" - "because he is god"

the point is, it's like asking a child "how can you pretend that you're cooking food when you didn't turn on your oven?" - "because the oven knew to came on when i put the food in it!" - they can say anything they want to because it's their imagination

"I see some "I don't believe it because of x y and z." But look at the material. How could you not agree with this:
Surely you cannot say that those statements aren't true. And surely you cannot say that Christians who go around being asses are anywhere near listening to what verses like this have to say. The truth of the matter is, that all Christians fail at being Christ-like. Myself, included. If you want to know God, then you have to forgive, and look past that to Jesus." -- marr

what are you talking about? are you saying that because those statements are true, that means jesus and god exist? because that was the denial of the people you are addressing, and as far as i can see you do not tackle that.. you simple quote the bible or something, and then say "that's not wrong is it?! EH? SEE?!" and there's nothing to see

i'm a simple guy, i don't even know what i believe in yet.. but i live my life by what many people would consider to be a christian or some sort of religious way.. i put people's feelings before my own (even when that person insults me or hurts my feelings, i will not return it when given the easy opportunity), i'm as generous as i can be according to my means, i try to see other people's point of view before judging them, and many many more private moral standards that i force myself to live up to

i've been doing all this for years, since i was very young, and sometimes i failed, but for those i feel bad and try harder.. this has nothing to do with christianity, or the rules set out by any religion, telling people how to be a good person, i simply do it, because i couldn't live with myself to do anything else

what's my point? several points, i think..
1) just because someone says "be nice to each other, the world would be better" doesn't mean they're (a) god, or i'd be one and then we'd all be in big trouble (i may be wrong about that being what you said)
2) you don't need religion to be a nice person
3) christians are (meant to be) nice.. their reward is going to heaven.. for my set of morals, i have no reward, and yet i probably live a better and nicer life than a high majority of christians.. the whole christian "be nice, you'll go to heaven" thing seems very false to me

i've gone off on a tangent.. screw it, good luck

Marine plays with Iraqi kids

raven says...

Twiddles is right, its not just the bunker busters (which are also built using depleted uranium- makes for a bigger bang apparently), but all sorts of other smaller arms use DU as well. Frankly, you should be educating yourself on this MGR, if only out of concern for your own safety, chances are you were exposed to some of it during your service... and who the fuck knows what else, if history and experience have taught us anything is that in the quest to kill and maim efficiently the US army has been very adept at exposing both the enemy and its own soldiers to a plethora of nasty things... I mean, crap, how many older veterans do I know that are just now exhibiting symptoms of agent orange exposure? Or those of that in between generation that have Gulf War syndrome due to exposure to an as yet undisclosed substance? Too freaking many is the answer... too freakin' many.

And Twiddles is also right in that the assumption that Iraq was shit before we rolled in is completely ridiculous... things may have been relatively crappy in 2003 (see stats below), but you have to realize that our campaign against the stability of that country has been ongoing since the first Gulf War, and it has had a direct effect on the population, and undoubtedly accounts for much of the resentment of the Iraqi population towards their American 'liberators'. If it helps you to understand this, I'll shoot some statistics your way, these are all, by the way, directly from Phebe Marr's The Modern History of Iraq, in which she details the impact of US sanctions on Iraq:

"Oil production dropped 85% between 1990 and 1991 and began to increase again only after sanctions relief in 1997... Iraq's per capita income, which had stood at just over $2,000 in 1989 before the Gulf War, had fallen to $609 by 1992... Before the war, good imports were estimated to be about 70% of Iraq's consumption. These were now drastically reduced. Famine was avoided by an effective rationing system, but calorie intake fell from an average of 3,000 calories a day to about 2,250, most of these provided through a ration 'basket' provided by the government.... By 1995 the UN secretary general noted that living conditions had become precarious for an estimated 4 million people. The Food and Agriculture Organization claimed that child mortality had risen fivefold.... The damage to the education system was also severe... one report claimed that of the 250 primary schools in the center and south of the country, over 80% were in poor or critical condition. Credible figures show that the literacy rate, which reached 67% in 1980, fell to about 57% in 2001..." And I could go on, there is lots more where that came from, and I recommend this book to anyone with an interest in Iraq.

But my point is We did that. One can argue that it was punishment on an evil dictator for daring to invade poor helpless Kuwait, and our continued sanctions on that country were meant to cripple him militarily as well as economically, in the hope that his people would rise up and overthrow him. However, that obviously did not happen, for a number of reasons, the primary one being that he was insanely good at keeping the population repressed and too afraid to step out of line. In the end, we may have removed him from being a regional power but we encouraged him to turn on his own people and increase his stranglehold upon them.

I was against the sanctions back in the 90s and I still think that they were one of the worst crimes against humanity that our nation has ever managed to get away with. I think it is of ultimate importance that our generation, (MGR- I'm not that much older than you), recognize now what we did, that we, as a country, completely fucked up another country (and arguably an entire region), so that when we are in charge, we do not repeat these same mistakes again and again.
