hmmm...interesting. I see where you're coming from, but it just seems so icky to ban based on tastelessness. I agree he or she wouldn't get the biggest heartfelt welcome on every comment they left but I didn't see anything over the line. Ignorant maybe, but still within our rules. Maybe something so fringe should go to siftquisition? I think that's the proper forum for deciding a punishment for a member that just doesn't get it. I think if they realize that we take this seriously, they might go from youtube troll, to Socratic pupil. Call me an idealist, but sometimes people could use a fair shot.

But it's your call, you the boss (even though I'm 1 higher than you in rank )

Don't know if I can agree with you on this one. I don't think I'm the only one either. Maybe I don't know all dimensions of this issue, but I think that this was an extreme punishment for somebody that didn't understand the rules clearly (not to mention didn't even do anything wrong).

The fact of the matter is, once somebody puts the time into getting 100 gold stars, I doubt their primary objective will be to "fuck shit up".

Secondly it costs 1 to 2 power points to promote a video, the chances of him/her having the amount needed to fill up a page are slim to none. Plus if he did accumulate that much, he may just deserve it.

For all the irony of waiting to retire only to become a cripple by way of your toys... that is a neato idea to have a launch bay. i want one of those things, they are roll cages on wheels. TEAR IT UP!!

i'll be honest I upvoted it because I liked it when she stands up and gets the books. Nice ass. crazy beliefs.

*promote our Neato brothers.

I am nearly tempted to downvote this - I am pretty sure 'Communism' has fuck all to do with the US Government - unless you don't know what communism is.

Make the tags more reasonable, and I'm confused to the 'lies' entry...if you think something is 'contested' then Controversy is fine, but fear? wtf...are you just picking 'impact' channels?

*money! It's all about *money! *money! *money!

I know everyone here bashes the right on 'occassion' QM - but when a video about Reagan and contra goes into Lies channel it's justified...you are just calling this lies and fear...but seriously...why? If you are trolling, you will get probably not get the right votes, treat this properly and you will get people's interest.
Calling Obama 'scum' - um, if you want to highlight an error or problem here you would do better to not try draw attention away from the problem. Oh and I'm very surprised if Fox has already moved off the mustard and onto somethign with substance.


Post a video with some neato content and description. And stop name calling.

Everyone supports gun control to some degree. No one has ever questioned the wisdom of outlawing the possession of rocket launchers.
I also wish gun folk would cut out all the sanctimony and just honestly admit that they think guns and explosions are super neato and that they constantly fantasize about murdering burglars or other bad guys in some kind of thrilling shoot out.


I question the wisdom of outlawing rocket launchers. MmmmmK?
Just because I think guns and explosions are super neato (and I do) and because I constantly fantasize about murdering burglars and other bad guys (and bad girls, I'm not sexist) in some kind of thrilling shoot out (which would be much more thrilling with rocket launchers) doesn't mean that there aren't plenty of perfectly reasonable reasons to own guns. They are not mutually exclusive.

neato!

I sold my vote to an immigrant for a bag of cheetos and a neato hovering pen. It hovers!
