*murder

And where are the people coming to the defense of the SWAT officers in this situation (as seen here: http://videosift.com/video/10-Fully-Armored-Police-vs-1-Burnt-Out-Drug-Addict-GO) which is arguably similar???

*cough* hypocrites...*cough* im looking at you @sme4r

We're a weird bunch of people, full of contradictions. Gwizz, for example, sifted the punching video intentionally to get a reaction, then complains about 'drama'. Ant downvotes blasphemy but upvotes a video depicting a man punching a woman in the genitals. I enjoy mysogyny in humour but can't abide violence against women. I'm also a flashing, drug addict idiot hipster, but that's another story.

Essentially, we could all get along with a bit of maturity and consideration, but this is the internet and that's not why we're here, mostly. And I'm ok with that.

And it's true - it's not all about you. It's all about me.

Ok, I don't want to escalate it further than that.

Tbh, I do see where you're coming from, but I don't like the way you did it.

I don't like violence in any form - jackass has always been boring to me, but the video is fun, to me, because it's just two people being drunk and idiots, and because it causes such an uproar.

You can call me all the nasty names you want - it doesn't bother me and neither do you. I have no axe to grind. I don't care to get too involved in the internet. I think it's not ok to post videos of men punching women, and I think poorly of you for doing so. It's ok for you to disagree, and get all indignant and whatever. I'm not interested. It's beneath me, and I think it should be beneath you.

Meh. That's a closed chapter, but feel free to look in there - I stand by all that happened.

Is it ever ok for a man to hit another man? Is it ever ok for a woman to hit a man? Is it ever ok for a woman to hit another woman?

Why is a man hitting a woman in a "friendly" environment so much worse than the rest? In abusive environments, all of those are bad, but women aren't inherently bigger victims than the rest.

It seems to me that you have an axe to grind, that's your deal - I'm just pissed when people make judgments about me, when they don't know me - and, you don't know me. The thread you mention is complete horseshit, from one end to the other, so don't drag that into this.

You are in no position to judge me.. at all.

I don't even have to agree with the video I've posted. Do you agree with all the videos you've posted?

http://videosift.com/video/Today-Show-flasher - are you a flasher?
http://videosift.com/video/Famous-people-on-drugs - are you a drug addict?
http://videosift.com/video/Hipster-gets-glassess-tattooed-on-his-face - are you an idiot hipster?

I doubt you are, but you did post those videos.

What I do know, is that you interpret stories from one side, make retarded and judgmental comments about other people, get on your oh-so-high horse and stroke your superiority complex. All of that tells me you're a dick.

Dick.

Happy to play, champ. Your immature, confused and ignorant attitudes towards women are well kmown and documented here. Would you like me to go find the thread in which your behaviour towards women in Texas is discussed by those adversely affected by it?

I'm not surprised you don't understand why posting a video of a man punching a women reflects poorly on the person who posted it. But let me make this clear to you - it is never ok for a man to punch a woman. Never. And all you're defending by posting that, Captain Liberty, is the interests of the poor oppressed people who like to punch women.

Yes, my comment was judgemental. I am judging you.

In reply to this comment by gwiz665:
Aww, bitchy and judgmental kymbos, so fearful for all the little women out there who can't defend themselves.

If you want to attack me, I'll bite back.


So fuck you.

I think they are saying, "Stupidest. System. Ever. Just let us get high for Jah's sake. Don't sanction it like it's medicine for drug addiction, that's just retarded."

To conservasift

There is no "conservasift." There's just me and I'm the janitor, or if you will, a guy in a janitor costume.

I love it, bloated fat drug addicted hypocritical liar Rush is an "Icon of conservatism", certainly he must be the pinacle of 'conservative' ideals and ideas today.

Yes, he's a flawed human being. All of his foibles put together wouldn't equal a liberal hollywood "genius's" average Tuesday night.

I agree, his comments here may be taken out of context here, and he may well be laughing at idiots that believe that your actions determine the reactions of 'god' (or gay-a, freudian slip Rush?).

You can expect any non-liberal comments by non-liberals to be twisted by liberals. I'm sure the reverse is sometimes true, but just quoting liberals and what they really mean is insanity enough.

It's funny, he doesn't seem to realize that that is a major tennant of Christianity, (that god is watching and cares what you do, and will punish or reward you for it at some time) and I don't think he meant to publicly degrade and denegrate the tennants of Christianity, collateral damage sucks, huh?

I think you want the 'Hate Glenn Beck Wing' of the asylum here.

That said, turnabout is fair play. Rush consistantly mis quotes and mis represents anyone that does not agree with him 100%, faux news style, and rarely if ever retracts his lies. Now you're crying him a river because it has been done to him.

Please see above

Rush has weathered the left's *cough* sanity for over two decades. This is nothing. In case you never heard it, he calls the powerful attacks on him by the left "BBs against a battleship".

Now you can incorrectly call me a liberal and ignore all my logical points.

Dear liberal, where are the logical points in your ague-ment?

No ill will dudes, your opinions are yours.

Attn liberalsift, we know where you stand politically; stop fibbing about what icons of conservatism said (or didn't say). Internets won't let you get away with it.

Oh boy, this man gets paid $27m per year to star in an unfunny sitcom? I suspect that realisation drove him off the edge.
As someone said on twitter, who knew that employing a drug addict could be bad for your network sitcom?

Preaching to choir: End Drug Prohibition.


I thought they were only using the prohibition analogy on pot. They're using it on methamphetamine now?

Never said I did. At least I know that there are other people that are different than me.

Sure it's probably very easy to rob me. I don't live in a bad neighborhood, so I don't expect to have to fight for my safety. My life is more important that material objects that they are after.

If you live in a bad neighborhood, popping out of a corner with a golf club without knowing what you are up to is not the smartest thing. Might work if you hear a silent breaking and entering since they obviously don't want to be heard and you may scare them off. But these officers were LOUD. If you want to protect yourself which you have the right to, maybe pack some heat. Again you have to smart about using it.


>> ^gwiz665:

And you clearly do? If all they yelled were "SEARCH WARRANT" and busted down the door, I don't know what I would have done. If I had lived in a bad neighborhood, why should I believe they were actually cops and not robbers? They didn't even give him a chance to lower his stick or what it was in his hands. They shot him and then said get on the ground.
You must be very easy to rob.
>> ^rellik:
Umm no I would NOT have done the same thing. I would still be in shock and would have complied with whatever was shouted at me. Police or intruder.
You use the term "most people" very lightly and you clearly don't represent "most people".

>> ^gwiz665:
Put yourself in his place. Would you now have done the same thing he did? I would certainly have grabbed something and tried to scare off the intruders. I think most people would have done that, and then most people would have been dead.
