If you cannot even explain yourself (let alone prove it) when you put an accusation out there, there should be some sort of penalty out there beyond just public humiliation.


I know this is unworkable and undemocratic and impossible but she should not be allowed to vote. Not because I don't agree with her, not because she's (wild guess) a republican, but because she has no idea what she's talking about and her vote is just a proxy vote for whatever radio show host that's telling her what to think.

We should get a non-biased body (7 words in and it's already unworkable!) to come up with 2,000 multiple choice questions based on this country's politics and history, enough so no one could just memorise a leaked list. Each voter gets 10 random questions and their vote is weighted by how much they know. Know your stuff? You get 9 or 10 votes. Clueless idiot? You get 2 or 3 votes from guessing answers. Seemingly actually trying to be wrong like this lady, you're lucky to get 1. I don't imagine I'd get 10/10 but I'd expect to get 5 or 6, and I'd probably take more of an interest; there'd be a generally better informed electorate.

It annoys me that if this thing lives in a US swing state, her vote is probably 1,000,000 times more important to shaping the world than my vote, which is irrelevant in a constituency which has voted for one of two virtually identical parties in every election for decades.

Another random question (private property and public safety).

Hey Dag, random question --
I'm trying to get my precious Bronze star back after the threshold was changed. My profile http://www.videosift.com/member/rychan says that I have 23 star points, but I can't figure out where that 23 number is coming from -- I have 17 sifted videos and 16 applauded comments, for instance. I looked in the FAQ, but couldn't find a specification of where exactly star points come from.

Wow, you and I were 3.5 miles apart: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=San+Diego,+CA+NTC+San+Diego+The+old+Radioman+%22A%22+School+%4032.734566,-117.219373&daddr=5998+Alcala+Park,+San

I used to walk everywhere just about, because being the military you are very poor, so you either take the bus or hoof it everywhere. I remember walking to Ocean Beach a lot, though I was a big fan of Mission Beach.

Did you ever go to a place in Mission Beach called "Blacks"? I know that's a random question. [EDIT] Apparently I couldn't a href that link or else it wouldn't work.

Random question: Are you a big fan of Ayn Rand?

You can't beg for a huge government that controls every aspect of your life then act astonished when it doesn't follow your wishes to the letter.
Our freedoms are gone, you say? Seditious Bignose here doesn't believe it, or else he'd be doing his crappy show from a hidden cave.


I know one shouldn't answer to trolls but nobody else is discussing anything here so I might as well do it.

But maybe if you took away some power from the President (like say the Veto thing) the huge government could actually do something. America is a dictatorship but the dictator can only answer yes or no to random questions.

1. Kindergarten teacher's hair: Dark and light grey (bonus: Pulled back and tied into bun)
2. Clockwise: 11 rotations until dizziness, Counterclockwise: 12 rotations until dizzness
3. "Reflections" assisted living home in Flagstaff Arizona. (it's not where you plan on going but it's where you'll end up)

You're telling me you were specifically wondering what a random Sifter like me thought about Paris Hilton and Britney Spears and the heroine of a cheesy nineties show? o.O

Got any other inexplicably random questions about me bouncing around that head of yours... like what my kindergarten teacher's hair color was, or how many times I can spin around in a circle before getting dizzy, or which retirement home I plan on going to when I'm old?

What, that I was a teenager during the mid 90's?

Yes.

And that your thoughts on paris hilton and britney spears

and your thoughts on Xena, Warrior Princess...

oddly these are all questions I had about you. Dunno why, just did.

Hey sfjocko,

Random question, I've noticed that for some reason the second width in your youtube posts is typically set to 600 instead of 425, this effectively breaks the site in IE, I was wondering if youtube gives you this as the default value. I have noticed it on some other peoples posts as well, but never been able to duplicate it.
