IIRC, discarded videos can later be promoted (or at, least they used to be) and killed videos are permanently removed - the only way to see them is an advanced search including killed videos.

So you'd want to kill dead videos that you never expect to be able to revive. A working, non-duplicate, unsifted vid is probably worth discarding on the off chance that someone might see it in some random search and like it enough to promote it out of oblivion.

Reviving, but just for Dag

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

No! I like this one. *revive or something Siftbot.

Hey QM, thanks for taking the effort to respond. Now:

Black and white people clap differently? You're making my point for me. For some guy to speculate on racial differences--not racial inferiority or superiority--doesn't make him a racist.

On the second quote, "white folks greed", yeah that's a racist quote. Given the setup of America, whose oligarchy is dominated by white people, I think it's accurate. But it's racist all the same. But if this is racist, then posting those crime statistics of African American youth, as you often do, is racist as well.

Where are the sifts demanding white people be destroyed? I guess I missed those. Is it the Louis Theroux one?

As much as people bemoan Reverend Wright, I never really got the controversy.
Can you please give me a direct quote where the pastor denigrates white people?
In his speech to the NAACP, Wright speculated that, "Africans have a different meter, and Africans have a different tonality. Europeans have seven tones, Africans have five. White people clap differently than black people. Africans and African-Americans are right-brained, subject-oriented in their learning style. They have a different way of learning." The comments were labeled as racist,[85] and likened to eugenics. This initiated a revival of the controversy, which had been slowly waning. --wikipedia
Obama stated that he was aware of Pastor Wright's controversial comments, and had personally heard "remarks that could be considered controversial" in Wright's church, but denied having heard the particular inflammatory statements that were widely televised during the campaign. Obama was specifically asked by Bill O'Reilly if Reverend Wright had said white people were bad, to which Obama replied "no." In his book Dreams from my Father, Obama had quoted Reverend Wright as saying in a sermon "It's this world, where cruise ships throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port-au-Prince see in a year, where White folks' greed runs a world in need."
To me it's just another ridiculous Obama fable that in 20 years he heard "nothing unusual".
When running for President, I don't think you'd want to be associated with a church where a d1psh1t shouts "God damn America!" from the pulpit, and "Reverend" Wright went on a vitriolic tour calculated to destroy Obama when the latter left his church.
Also, we've got more than one sift of Blacks demanding White people be exterminated and liberalsifters couldn't care less, because only Whites and non-liberals are truly racist.

Between this and FDR: American Badass, it looks to be a helluva year for Nazi killin'.

And I am totally digging the trend of big-budget camp revival.
Hollywood garbage that takes itself seriously...ugh
Hollywood garbage that shamelessly embraces shittiness WITHOUT holding back (*cough* snakes on a plane), I can live with!

Ah thanks. You could had posted that earlier to tell me what it was about.

His debate with Sam Harris is excellent. It's on the sift. Chris Hedges has a very different kind of faith than most. Although he self identifies as a Christian, it feels to me more of an Einsteinian type of religion, interested in the mysteries of science and human existence, and not obsessed with heaven and hell and taking scripture literally. I'm guessing most atheists on the sift would find a lot of common ground with him, so careful with the knee jerk reactions.

Let's not forget all the potential for good in Christianity, even if the loudest Christian voices in the media tend to be cruel, shallow and judgemental. I think the defiance of the early part of this atheist revival helped us establish ourselves, but now we are mainstream (to a degree). It's time for the next step, where we show tolerance to religious people who are kind, loving and empathetic. We hate it when we are all painted with the same stripe, so lets not be hypocrites

The powers that be love to see us divided and beating the crap out of each other. What if we stopped fighting each other and turned that aggression against our corporate wardens.

I want to be cryogenically frozen when I die, so that I can be revived many years down the road and get into wacky, Futurama-esque shenanigans.
