First of all: when did this happen? by "hassling supporters of the military" do you mean anti-war protests? I've yet to see any antiwar protesters attacking military families or soldiers

It happened(s) frequently. Anti-war types routinely hassle military personnel, and even their families. During the Vietnam war it was a cottage industry. For shame. While free speech may allow it - such speech should be self-censored by common sense, decency, and self-respect.

Secondly: attacking self-righteous bigots who think they can decide who other adult people can love, sleep with or form lasting relationships with, and who, with their poison and bigotry turns young peoples lives into a nightmare of shame, bullying and self-loathing, is a fight to protect the vulnerable, not to harm them.

Those who seek to justify "attacking" others are in the fetters of agenda-driven bias. This comes from allowing their belief in a 'cause' to lead them into dehumanizing others to the point where they become comfortable with abuse. I see no difference between the woman in this video some other jerk who harasses people for a pet cause.

If you believe in something then you advance the cause with persuasion, gentleness, meekness, and love unfeigned. If you find yourself moved to insults, misrepresentation, harassment, property damage, or other abuse then you have entered the dark side no matter how just you think your cause may be. The sad truth is that there are pro-gay types who behave just like the woman in this video towards perfectly normal folks who just happen to support traditional marriage. They may come from a different orchestra, but its the same music.

screaming at people on their way into an abortion clinic, that not just low, its disgusting, immature, inhuman and downright evil

I believe I said that. I merely commented that it is somewhat curious that the outrage only manifests itself when the behavior is coming from the perspective of a specific ideology. If such outrage was truly applied from a position of justice then it would not confine itself to merely one 'aisle' so to speak. It was more a commentary on the stilted nature of "VideoSift" than anything else.

There is not so much outrage when anti-war protesters hassle the supporters of the military, or when pro-gay groups disrupt the services of groups that support traditional marriage. I could go on, but the tears come off as pretty crocodile when they are so selectively shed.


First of all: when did this happen? by "hassling supporters of the military" do you mean anti-war protests? I've yet to see any antiwar protesters attacking military families or soldiers, they are usually (and by that I mean nearly always) protesting the policies that leads to war etc. and sure, you can disagree, but thats not really being hassled, is it?

Secondly: attacking self-righteous bigots who think they can decide who other adult people can love, sleep with or form lasting relationships with, and who, with their poison and bigotry turns young peoples lives into a nightmare of shame, bullying and self-loathing, is a fight to protect the vulnerable, not to harm them.

And of course you have the right to disagree, and even take offense, but dont compare "traditional marriage supporters" to people who are about to have an abortion, because its not the same fucking thing.

We can disagree on issues, and sure, there are bad apples who protest in bad manners on either side, but screaming at people on their way into an abortion clinic, that not just fucking low, its disgusting, immature, inhuman and downright evil.

i agree that there are probably a lot more atheist politicians than are known but i don't think they represent the non-belief. i think they probably behave similarly to the self loathing gay republicans but to a much lesser extent. basically speaking out and legislating against their own beliefs. i also think there are a lot of religious leaders in the same category.

Someone has the fact wrong. He was not unhappy that two seats weren't available--he was unhappy that he was seated , in one seat, and then ejected. There is more than one reason for buying two seats.

My best friend is bigger than Kevin smith, I fly with him and his problem is more in leg room than anything else (and I'm the center seat, next to him).

What this thread says to me is that we at Videosift really don't like fatties. It makes me very curious about the girths behind the typing. Just how much self-loathing have we got here?

I'm gay for Rachel Maddow.


ps. sexuality exists on a spectrum throughout then entire animal kingdom. you dont come out straight. if you get a boner for a lady, then you got a boner for a lady. big fucking deal.... oh or you dont really have a boner for your lady and your just a lying self loathing selfish jackass. and yes, you do have blood on your hands.

God I miss the enveloping waves of introspection and self loathing on certain psychedelics. Although, is it still "self loathing" and "introspection" if you're in the throes of out of body/out of mind experience? Relativism becomes skewed on these levels. Thank you for the link

you know what your problem is dickhead?
youre such a douche real women dont want to hang out with you, so you extrapalate your idea of women based on what porno and tv told you we were like. so basically what im saying is youre the reason crap like this is wildly popular.
i blame you. and one day, some self loathing idiot girl is going to mold herself to this marketed ideal of feminity to please you.
quit oppressing me!

*yawn* the old "You-just-don't-get-women" offensive approach? Call it a self-fulfilling prophecy, lady, but you're validating what was just misogyny-for-humor. Sorry if my form of humor doesn't come from things like Ross getting a pet monkey and I don't cry when Big leaves Carrie at the altar. So it's ok to be a boot-wearing, ball-bashing femme, but the moment some guy does a little tongue-in-cheek humor about woman, he's a "douche"?

Well let me tell you something, I've been a douche for a long time, and it's never been because I "don't understand women" and it's definitely not because I can't "take a joke" or even because I can't "write without quotation marks".

So where's my f*cking cake?

Jesus christ, its like arguing with a 4-year-old. Why do we bother? I swear, I think he's retarded.

I'm just glad idiots like him are a dying minority. A loud, obnoxious minority, but a soon-to-be-completely marginalized minority (and it's his own party doing the marginalization! He's actually sticking up for the people who screw him the most! You can't make this shit up!).

I'm this close to ignoring the quackpotmushhead, but it's so fascinating seeing something so xenophobic, so self-loathing...

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

You are right, we would need to migrate to other planets - and I would expect that. But why do we have to think of ourselves as a virus? I hope that if we live up to 10K years, we'll get past the self-loathing that defines so much of life. When I hit 1,000 years- I expcect to be making confident, noble decisions that are good for the environment and my fellow humans.

^Pfft. The only women who want the assholes are the moronic secretly self-loathing bintettes who only want the bad guy so they can be the one to change them, therefore feeling like they are special and worth someone changing for just them. And the only guys who want those types of girls are the ones that whine that all women want assholes

The way I see it, we're all so used to seeing a guy who told us the economy really didn't make our ass look fat, and the torture was really because he loved us, that now when we have this new guy who shows up at the door with a single rose telling us he loves us for how beautiful we really are on the -inside- and that he'll always try and stay true, that we're having trouble letting go of all that self loathing and guilt... and now if you'll excuse me I have a tub of Dreyer's cookie dough and several episodes of Dr. Phil on Tivo to watch! *CRIES*

There are many things you could call Kucinich. Lunkhead. Idiot. Moron. Toady. Skunk. Thief. Unprincipled. But "patriotic"? That's a stretch, unless you use the NeoLib definition of patriot which generally means "self-loathing traitor".


Does anyone else smell socks?
