I thought the point was to get rid of one invoke (requeue), not replacing it with another.


This is not just another requeue. The only similarity is that it gives expired videos some more attention. What it doesn't do that requeue did is: 1) clog up the main queue with stale material; 2) change the status of your video from PQ; 3) allow an individual to have several listed at once; 4) create an un-browse-able, endless series of pages full of videos; 5) allow a video to be re-listed every 12 hours (generally only once every 2 days when your PPs recharge); 6) allow you to re-list a video before it has expired in the main queue; 7) give every single submitted video the ability to sit in the queue forever until getting published.

will power points be VS official currency from now on? what's next, you get a requeu if you send 20 VS invites through your facebook account? i know VS is all about change, but you're fucking up the natural order here


The Power Point system is simply a way to allow people to exercise their powers in a controlled way where they have a choice in how they want to do so and they cannot be overused. And if you want to help support us to get more PPs, well you're helping keep this ship afloat, so thanks. If not, just continue using the site for free and continue freely talking down to we who are trying our very best to prevent having to pack up and say goodbye, even if that means "fucking up" what you consider "the natural order." (It's a comfortable luxury to insult people without spending a moment of consideration on why we might do the things we do, isn't it.)

Lawl @ condescending tone in the post.


Maybe I'm dense, but what part of the post seems condescending, MG? I was actually being sincere... Re-reading it, I guess my opening line could be taken that way. Not my intention at all. (I guess my brain was tired when I wrote it.)

Goooooooo SKELETOR!!!
McCain and Clinton, and the Hillary wins. Ladies and Gentlemen, Bushes and Clintons, Clintons and Bushes......this will be the twin-legacy of the United States' demise, and perhaps historians finally become enamored with truth as they take it back to the beginnings of this circus....Our only saving grace would be to actually try and convict some of the worst of them....WHILE THEY ARE STILL ALIVE!!! No more of this, documents sealed till 2025 bullshit-Drag em the fuck out into the street!!! If you knew the simplest of truths concerning the Clinton's legacy, they would be Rosenberg material, that is, if we had news media. scholars, and justice on the side of truth-

No faith in this system whatsoever, save that of the natural order of business as it relates to systems humans create.......they corrode, wither, and die, and new ones pop up in their stead....

Rome......Dark Ages....enlightenment.....Romish experiment.....Dark Ages, well, lets frikkin' hope not this go-round.....we've come too far, to fuck it back to basics-

The Day They Kicked God out of the Schools

"I could go on."

Don't. Your words are poison.

Man forged God in the depths of his lowest animal needs. As such God's laws are a reflection and rationalisation of man's inherent inclinations, reinforcing the attitudes and prejudices impressed on us by millions of years under the cruel yoke of natural selection. Humanity's innate morality is nothing but a grim evolutionary survival strategy: Be monogamous - a child with two parents has a better chance of surviving to pass on their genes. Don't slack off or steal - far better to increase the productivity of your community, giving an advantage to your relatives and the genes they carry. Love your family and spouse - protect your offspring and means to produce more. Don't be gay! - Gay people won't have children and are effectively worthless from an evolutionary perspective. And on and on.

Some of the conclusions are right, accidentally, and others are wrong, but they all lie on a shoddy foundation. The best stratagem is not always the ethical one; witness the spectacular efficacy of napalm. On the surface it may appear obedience to our nature and divine law works as well as true, self-realised, morality - it keeps us relatively safe and comfortable, but consider the repercussions of predicating all decisions on either the unfit tool of instinct or religious ideas inherited from peers and unexamined critically, themselves of course only distillations and perversions of instinct. In other words imagine a person acting wholly from irrationality (that is, the average person); at best such a person is utterly amoral. You may as well flip a coin.

Our instincts betray us, but liberation is at hand; freedom from the natural order is achieved by mankind's unique percipience - reason. Reason is our salvation and the true path to ethics. To achieve righteousness it is necessary to cast aside the lie of instinct and religion.

Logic leads quickly and directly to the principle of self-ownership. That's the principle we should be teaching our children. Not an oppressive standard of behaviour to which they must adhere, but a solid foundation on which to build with the bricks and mortar of experience and reason, the substances of truth.

Right Budzos, Lets just give up, seek comfort in food, luxury, political pablem and religion. (never sex!) That is the natural order, not to struggle against the evil that would manipulate us into doing its will. Resistance is futile, peace is an unnatural state, and it is easier to follow than lead.


(edit)Oh......don't forget entertainment, and the joy of feeling superior.

Yeah it's not about race, it's about cop = awesome, non-compliant citizen = deserved it.

Wumpus is all about respecting the natural order. She asserted her rights in a totalitarian, facist regime. Hence she deserves to get tasered until special sauce flows from her nose.
