Whoops. The version I came across on YT was just a couple of hours old.

chilaxe,

I'm not interested in the psychology of the combatants, but rather the psychology and 'spin' of those viewing it, my own meta spin (that this video makes some white people feel comfortable in their pre-judgments) included. None of us are even remotely objective, and those who claim to be (lookin' at you Ayn) least of all. We see everything through the deforming prism of our own minds. Life experiences, upbringing, family, nurture, nature, culture, media, etc. inform how we view the world, which explains how a simple glass of wine can, at the same time, be a nice treat during a meal, a life-destroying addiction or the metaphorical blood of a supernatural being.

The various rationalizations behind the 'taking of sides' is what I find interesting about this particular internet phenomena. At its heart, this video is about one person kicking the shit out of another, but the defining descriptors in the comment section vary significantly from person to person: black vs. white, old vs young, big vs. small, short vs. tall, innocent baystander vs. shit talking jerk, racist white man vs. black guy, two crazy guys, etc... . We all bring our own baggage to the vague narrative of this fight, leading us to many different conclusions and many different meanings.

I'm not trying to say anyone is right or wrong. I'm not trying to patronize. Just making the point that there are highly subjective reasons we believe the things we believe, which have little to do with rationality or logic. Being aware of this is a good thing.

Is it weird that I want to destroy all those with my lego lightsaber?

I've been playing Lego Star Wars too much!

But seriously, I could lose myself in that place!

*music for the Man in Black.

There's a war goin on outside, no man is safe from
You could run but you can't hide forever
from these, streets, that we done took
You walkin witcha head down scared to look
You shook, cause ain't no such things as halfway crooks
They never around when the beef cooks in my part of town
It's similar to Vietnam
Now we all grown up and old, and beyond the cop's control
They better have the riot gear ready
Tryin to bag me and get rocked steady
by the mac one-double, I touch you
and leave you with not much to go home wit
My skin is thick, cause I be up in the mix of action
if I'm not at home, puffin lye relaxin
New York got a nigga depressed
So I wear a slug-proof underneath my Guess
God bless my soul, before I put my foot down and begin to stroll
And to the drama I built, and all unfinished beef
You will soon be killed, put us together
It's like mixin vodka and milk
I'm goin out blastin, takin my enemies with me
and if not, they scarred, so they will never forget me
Lord forgive me the Hennesey got me not knowin how to act
I'm fallin and I can't turn back
or maybe it's the words from my man Killa Black
that I can't say so it's left a untold fact, until my death
My goal's to stay alive
Survival of the fit only the strong survive

I'm trapped, in between two worlds, tryin to get dough y'know
When the dough get low the jewels go, but never that
As long as fiends smoke crack
I'll be on the block hustlin countin my stacks
No doubt, watchin my back and proceed with caution
Five-oh lurkin, no time to get lost in -- the system
Niggaz usin fake names to get out quick
My brother did it and got bagged with two ounces
I-llegal world where squads hit the block hard
Ask my man Twin when he got bagged, that fucked me up God
But shit happens for a reason
You find out who's your true peoples when you're upstate bleedin
You can't find a shorty to troop your bid witchu
Hit wit a 2 to 4 it's difficult
Wild on the streets I try to maintain
Tight with my loot, cause hoes like to run game
Some niggaz like to trick but I ain't wit that trickin shit
I'm like a Jew, savin dough so I can big whip
Pushin a Lex, now I'm set, ready to jet
No matter how much loot I get I'm stayin in the projects, forever
Jakes on the blocks we out-clever
If beef, we never seperate and pull together
When worse comes to worse and my peoples come first
Try to react and get them motherfuckin feelings hurt
My crew's all about loot
Fuck lookin cute, I'm strictly Timb boots and army certified suits
Puffin L's, laid back, enjoyin the smell
In the Bridge gettin down it ain't hard to tell
You better realize

>> ^deputydog:
someone please tell me how the non-locke story is explainable scientifically.
i'm all geared up for a seriously frustrating and disappointing final season, i'm not sure i'll be able to deal with it after 5/6 years of investment.


I don't think there's any derivable scientific explanation yet but I'm guessing non-locke = smoke monster = man in black since we've seen most dead people that haven't been buried on the island show up as an apparition around the time of a smoke monster appearance. Also, some people say there's more than one smoke monster....

Nothing could live up to 5/6 years of anticipation but I bet it'll still be awesome having the many many wtf things explained.

Thanks That's 3 promotes in a month for that vid, other people could learn from your example

I get to weigh in on a special guy. Hot dog. I mean, cool cat.

I feel like I know this guy like a neighbor. He swam the pond at age 2 with his British parents. If he returned to his homeland he could become a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's court. Twain the Old and New Worlds, Mark my word.

His avatar skills are tops, I think we all acknowledge that. A pleomorphic pussy like that would take me weeks to master, yet he can dive into it and father a whole new one in a matter of minutes.

The lucky bastard gets to paddle a canoe around on a trout stream, yet he fishes not. I hath taken it upon myself to get an angle on him. I am sore afraid he will be decked out in Cabela's camo before the year is out.

Schmawy briefly entered my world of medicine. His puss in scrubs was a delight, but as I told him, he would need to be declawed before performing rectal or vaginal exams.

As for his posts, common interest comes to mind. We can look deep into each other's queues and find a thread to bind, a song to share.......this is going off the deep end.

And yes ladies and gentlemen, he plays guitar at least as good as Johnny Cash, the man in black, something that's not too hard to do at the moment.

I tip my hat to your skills and achievements and will always have a bottle of sevoflurane to pop open should you decide to visit the god forsaken great plains.

Oh goody! So we can blame canada when the world collapses into a man made black hole
