Last week Tsipras put out a rather dejected sounding press release that I thought meant they were ready to raise the white flag, but just after that thing returned to normal

I think there are two factors at play over the primary surplus, firstly the creditors are in no mood to lend more money to help Greece's recovery, and secondly the primary surplus promised by Greece is, at least to start with, so small that any possible contraction would be more of a rounding error.

I was a little bemused to read this http://gu.com/p/49h6n/stw article on the UK's voluntary austerity. If you look at where they're spending money (tax cuts for the rich, who don't spend money) and where they're saving it (taking from the poor, who do) you have almost guaranteed an economic slowdown.

That leads to the thought that, as not all government expenditure is equal, surely a Greek government with more than usual amount of economic nous could surely come up with something.

Or, alternatively, agree to kick the can down the road for another 9 months.

I'd really like to think that the former is possible, no matter how unlikely.

Remember kids, if the pitbull bites your arm real hard and won't let go, he just wants to play.

Who needs de-escalation if you can be the pitbull? That's exactly the problem here, the lack of training and stench of racism.

The Facebook police statement..
"Pool Party Incident:

On June 5, 2015 at approximately 7:15 p.m., officers from the McKinney Police Department responded to a disturbance at the Craig Ranch North Community Pool. The initial call came in as a disturbance involving multiple juveniles at the location, who do not live in the area or have permission to be there, refusing to leave. McKinney Police received several additional calls related to this incident advising that juveniles were now actively fighting.

First responding officers encountered a large crowd that refused to comply with police commands. Nine additional units responded to the scene. Officers were eventually able to gain control of the situation..."

It does not say that white or blacks were fighting. Since the cop was gathering up black kids it appears that they were the uninvited guests and some broke out in fighting. The video or text does not say just that juveniles were now actively fighting. More info is needed.

The cops have to gain control of the situation, then go about finding out what occurred and who did what.

What was the result? Did they find who did the fighting?

Interesting, this seems to be a good strategy for successful funding - make a video that has good mood, interesting visuals and very vague gameplay/story. It's clever because the viewer has to fill in the blanks rather than the creator having to actually figure out the hard bits.

Fixed, if you're still in the mood for it.

Yeah you never see the out-takes on these productions. And how come we didn't get the mood-setting music when the first guy was falling? Isn't this supposed to be a clinical and objective experiment

You could have stopped your comment there

Everything about this video was wrong wrong wrong. If you want to own an animal and are not willing to invest the time to understand the behaviour of that animal. Firstly, you shouldn't own it but secondly, you deserve what's coming to you.

You never ever "play" with a cat with your own limbs. Not with protection on, not under the bed sheets, not as a kitten with their cute harmless teeth, never. Cats are built to kill things and they're very good at it.

This wasn't play though, this was deliberate intimidation and the cat was extremely distressed. Cats are very protective of the top of their heads, as you would rightly imagine and it tells you a lot the cat is immediately angry he goes near it.

This means they have no bond, none, so the history of this person and the cat is not good. If a cat trusts you, it would not react in this manner, it may shy away or gently tell you "I'm not in the mood for a head scratch", even to a stranger a cat is unlikely to do more than give a soft warning bite at first (they hurt but generally won't penetrate skin).

So you really shouldn't have any sympathy for this person, nothing in this video remotely suggests he has ever been kind to this cat and if it is feral, well then he's just a damn idiot.

I've been away a while. Have an upvote, I'm in a good mood.

Holy Wow - In the happy holidays giving mood are we?
Thanks a bunch!!
So much to promote!

Thank god i only see nuts like these in videos. I guess if i encountered this type of person irl id move as quickly as possible out of their sphere of influence and audible area. I'm no gawker when it comes to people who lose their shit. Tends to harsh my mood

Sorry to say, but I have to wait too to see what this video really is. It is "homophobic" in it's own way, just by using the entire notion of "dressed like a homosexual". This reeks of someone trying to do the same thing as the women, as mentioned in posts above. But, was it a real attempt to show something or was it a parody. To me, it seemed to be a mixture of the two.

But, when they use the caption that they did at the start and the statistics at the end, they tried to make it real...so I'm really in the mood to just downvote this outright.

ok..on the record: I hate google glass, 'cuz it makes me giggle late at night, which wakes my wifey up in a pissed-off mood, and gets me into trouble, by the next day.

there, i (kinda) said it.

Yes, sorry a little overreacting. In my defense, this site does chomp off the annotations, and, for whatever reason, the YouTube links were not working when I first looked (I promise, though now I think I'm imagining things), so it was kind of a black hole for my video when I first saw it, I wasn't familiar with the site, and another site WAS ripping it off, which kinda put me in a bad mood.

Glad you liked the video, must've woken up on the wrong side of the bed.
