In the video Galloway also goes on to say that he's had several Israeli citizens on his show and who he's on platform with. Galloway specifically states that he doesn't consider every Israeli citizen the problem

2:45 in Gorillaman's video, "I don't debate with Israelis", again at 8:44 and again at 11:08. Galloway only declares that his problem is not with Jewish people, he repeatedly declares that he absolutely will not debate Israeli's.

What is your response to the gorrilaman video which Galloway explains his reasoning.

My response is disgust, outrage and disbelief. Galloway declares that on principle, his boycott of Israel extends to the point of refusing to even engaging any Israeli in debate. I had hoped that much was clear, and if that point isn't agreed let me know. I don't know how Galloway could make himself any clearer but apparently some still don't hear him.

On the face of it, his position on that isn't even what I find most offensive, though I do find it so. I insist it is no different than any other nationality I've mentioned up thread. What is intolerable is Galloway's own past record.

Saddam Hussein committed genocide against his own people not once, but twice. Killing nearly a half million people across the two. George Galloway did NOT refuse to engage Saddam(let alone Iraqis) in debate. In fact, George went to Baghdad and met Saddam, telling him "Sir, I salute your courage, your strength and your indefatigability. I can honestly say when I was speaking with my comrades about coming here, each one wished me to extend their fraternal greetings and support."

Bashir al Assad is continuing on the work of his father, brutally repressing and killing his own people. Galloway again went to Damascus, to praise Syria and tell the people how lucky they were to have Assad. He even squeezed in praise for the Iraqi suicide bombers then blowing up Shia mosques and neighbourhoods.

Galloway's moral 'high' road towards Israel is revealing in the extreme when looking at his eagerness to not only engage, but actively praise other war criminals in the region.

Greetings sir.

See if you like this one, it needs one vote to sift (posted by someone who is very close to silver):

Greetings Sir, Have you recently made a change to allow siftbot to use the yt cdn for thumbnail images instead of the vs cdn? If so, you might have broken the ability to update thumbnails from the edit video screen... @eric3579 and I have both tried to upload a new custom thumbnail, but going back in to edit vid still shows the thumbnail to be from img.youtube.com

Eric's example vid is http://videosift.com/video/Solving-a-Rubiks-Cube-While-Juggling-It with the thumb http://img.youtube.com/vi/zAIPL5O9Uwk/hqdefault.jpg

Mine was http://videosift.com/video/Quantum-Daughter which has a thumb I'm happy with, I just tried to change it to see if I could.

Regards,
Andrew.

Greetings Bjorn,

It is only a self link if that is your yt account (which would be a bit strange if you are Belgian and have a U.S. yt account) or if you had anything to do with the production... or if you are in fact the rainfrog!

If not, you only had to say that you had nothing to do with it and not kill it... and in that case, please re-post it and let me know and I'll upvote, and I reckon @chicchorea probably would too.

It always looks suspicious if new members post vids which have very low (or zero) view count vids from yt, and in fact the vast majority of sifters have accidentally self-linked early on... but it's one of the most important features of videosift that it's for posting other people's work that you like and not promoting your own.

p.s. Posting guidelines are here

p.p.s Too late to repost, http://videosift.com/video/Weird-little-rain-frog is the liveleak original.

This scene is based on a true story: Hachikō
"In 1924, Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo, took in Hachikō, a golden brown Akita, as a pet. During his owner's life, Hachikō greeted him at the end of each day at the nearby Shibuya Station. The pair continued their daily routine until May 1925, when Professor Ueno did not return. The professor had suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage and died, never returning to the train station where Hachikō was waiting. Every day for the next nine years the dog waited at Shibuya station."

And there is a film with Richard Gere based on this story: Hachi: A Dog's Tale - Wiki and Trailer

Greetings, sir. I bring you an update on a partial bugfix... on promoting discarded vids to bring them back.

I tried it on this one when the bug was that siftbot would eat the power point but not do anything, and now @chingalera has promoted it... and... well.. it has almost worked. It has indeed gone to the promoted box, but still says "discarded" on the vid, and appears in @Stingray's discarded instead of unsifted queues.... which I checked in case it was a caching issue.

Freedom of speech on the sift-Dissent is greeted with bullying, name-calling, labeling. O'Reillys a tool and he sucked these last 3 right the fuck in with nonsense.

I was thrilled and surprised to hear from you...and have handily managed procrastination to the extent of belying my sentiment.

I concur on the "discussions" and celebrate your aspirations. Good luck on that.

I have been scarce as well but due to less lofty distractions.

As to the season greetings...thank you. (I will be using that. )

Greetings, Pie. I found another Two Gallants vid, this time from Le Cargo, in Paris:

http://videosift.com/video/Two-Gallants-Broken-eyes

Actually it's only one Gallant, Tyson Vogel is nowhere to be seen, it's only Adam Stephens with his harmonica and acoustic guitar.

if any video deserved the dark tag this would be it.
not too far off on the child-support deal either.
the courts do not care how or where you get the money,their basic philosophy is "fuck you..pay me".

and the money you do pay does not count toward any form of government subsistence either.
so no food stamps,medicare,medicaid...nothing..fuck you..pay me.

you are responsible for daycare,even though she has government subsidized,so she can go to work but you cant afford the insurance on your 15 yr old car.
that sucks buddy but fuck you..pay me.

she finds out you are moonlighting as a teacher at night school and hauls you into court where the judge promptly takes 100% of your earnings from that second job siting the "needs of the children" where-as you were just trying to make grocery money.
life is unfair...fuck you..pay me.

your visitation is revoked because she complained that your studio flat was in a "bad neighborhood" but refuses to honor the 2 hrs a week your are allowed by court order to see your son.who then turns around and tries to have your parental rights taken due to "negligence".
and all you get for all your letters to the judge is a "cease and desist" order.
fuck you...pay me.

every week a certain amount is collected from my check and every month it is sent to tallahasee and then distributed to an undisclosed recipient.like clockwork this money has never failed to make its rounds to a once young boy who will soon be graduating high school.

i am awaiting the day for a knock on my door to be greeted by a face i once knew many years ago.a round a cherubic face and he will say: thanks for nothing...fuck you dad.

Newton made his discoveries to bring glory to God, and he changed the world many times over. There is no reason not to pursue the mystery of the cosmos; and no one is saying we know everything. It is not arrogance however to say what the origin of the cosmos is, and how the laws governing it came to be. After all, scientists pronounce these things on a continual basis. What is arrogant is to believe that this is solely the domain of science.

"For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountain of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries."

Greetings @ant. Since I got you interested by promoting, I feel I should try to let you watch it

I found a different dm embed - http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9qffc_m-le-roi-des-ombres-clip-officiel_music

Otherwise, there is an "M Vevo" youtube channel, which has it too - http://youtu.be/fuBy3UUMVXo

Let me know if either of them work for you, and I'll add them as backups to p4d's vid.... or you could.

Greetings, haven't seen you around lately.

You might like this one (and might miss it if you're really away):

Yeah but what I want to know is, for someone supposedly so cool, why did Kittinger have his t-shirt on back-to-front when he greeted Baumgartner?
