Thanks, embed updated.

Dupe with much better quality and lacking the annoying intro submitted by fedquip here: http://www.videosift.com/video/Um-Darwin-Where-the-hell-are-you
(I recommend replacing the embed.

And in an attempt to help this post regain some of the dupe votes, *doublepromote these nutcopaths.

heathen, the video you submitted is dead. I recommend you discard it and try again with another one.

discard by typing * discard in the comment for your video - just remove the space between the "*" and the word discard.

Good luck!

Thanks, tagsurgery done.

Unfortunately this is a dupe of this https://www.videosift.com/video/Russian-Girls-beating-up-a-soldier-in-style

But am glad you tracked down the name though.

*discard

Done, thanks. Yeah, that quality's way better.

Since myspace sucks for videos as of late, I suggest you use the embed from the one I tried sifting a while ago. It's from College Humor.

Upon careful consideration, I"ve added it to the Siftocrities list. It's the "lightest" entry to date, having not gone through a discard/promote cycle, but that can still happen.

Hey Krupo, you should add this one to controversies

Course it wasn't a huge debate but I though it was a heated one.

LOL, you're v. welcome - I play librarian every once in a while that way.

Ah yes, I loved the trap plasmid. So much fun. Tempts me to get back into the game, but there's so many other titles I need to spend my precious time with too.

In reply to this comment by Kevlar:
Hey, man, I never got a chance to say thanks for cleaning up my old video! You'd think with my rate of one sift attempt per year I'd be able to do that much.

I think they took out the teleportation plasmid as well... The closest to it I personally remember in the retail version was the humorous plasmid that shot splicers up in the air like a trampoline.

In reply to this comment by Krupo:
We've got *videogames and *howto here.

I don't remember teleportation plasmids - do they still exist?

Definitely *action pack going on here too. Interesting that at this point in development the angry "RED" big daddy lights weren't yet on.

Oh sure, attack with a flaming teddy bear. Um, use the flaming PROPANE TANK!

Thanks

Pathetic, I find this immensely entertaining *promote

LOL, yeah, as I mentioned on the post, my bad on saying "bad call" - I didn't read carefully either and didn't notice you were quoting there.

I love sift live *weapons.

In reply to this comment by jonny:
You must've have missed this comment. I didn't discard it - I returned it.

No problem - and it turns out jonny didn't even mean to discard it, but quoted a rule from the FAQ... funny that words are literally like live weapons on the sift, when prefaced with *'s.

In reply to this comment by hixsonj:
No problem. Thanks for helping to get it fixed.

It wasn't a dupe, but of overzealous moderating going on. We'll have to get that fixed up quickly. Sorry for the trouble.

In reply to this comment by hixsonj:
Sorry guys. Didn't mean to post this as a "fucking" dupe. Just thought it was a funny clip. Some people might not want to watch a 20 minute interview and would just rather see this funny bit.

Um, dude - did you skip through the dates? 9 hours vs 22 - the video you discarded is older than winkler's, bad call.

In reply to this comment by jonny:
DrPawn, bamdrew -

from the FAQ [emphasis added]:

Duplicates will be *discarded. A duplicate video is one which contains content already on VideoSift in a published, queued, personal queued, or dead video submission. Minor changes in content, like a few additional insignificant seconds of video or alternate background music, will still be considered dupes.

No, on birth control I know that's not your position - I was commenting on society in general, not on anything you said.

Your points do make sense; I just hit and run there as I didn't feel like wading into the details b/c it's not especially productive when people get too emotional (c.f. alt.abortion), so I just chucked my 2 cents in and wandered off.

I totally understand the horror of stillborns, though. The idea I imagine Lurch would've been getting at, though, is that if the baby is still in the womb, it'll move past that stage. If it's out early, well, medical disasters happen to people at all stages in life, and if you're out of the womb prematurely, you're dead. Of course, though you're not fully formed and independent, assuming no interference or medical problems you're on track to be have a full life with a few weeks/months time.

Aside from the tragedy of miscarriages, which is often unavoidable, I was just lamenting the avoidable tragedy of 'unnecessary' abortions.

It's an unfortunate shame the issue gets clouded with super-charged ultra-emotional arguments (Don't take away my choice! Don't kill babies!) rather than what's best for women, kids, families and society in general. <sigh>

In reply to this comment by Kreegath:
I never said that abortion is justified as a form of birth control (like how it's done in China) though, did I? I'm saying that there are cases when it is justified, and that while it's very very easy to take the position Lurch takes, it's also very very irresponsible and shortsighted in that he simply ignores the problem that arises from someone that is for any reason or another unable to raise a child, in an environment unfit to raise it in.
Also, I did take offense when Lurch blurted his "I can't agree that a critical part of being a parent is to kill your child", an extremely ofending remark in anyone's ear which I'm sure he was completely aware of when writing it. That's clearly not what's been written in opposition to his own (in my opinion) immature views, and I was tempted to reply to his flame bait that he must be a sadist that hates children because of his contempted views on sentencing unwanted fetuses to a lifetime of torture.
In closing, Lurch's blatant ignoring of the fact that regardless if there's a law against abortion, women will (as they've done for thousands of years) try and preform the abortion on their own.

To build on what I wrote earlier about my brother's work as a nurse, they're actually not allowed to try and save fetuses born earlier than the 23rd week of pregnancy. They've got no working organs, no immune system and no awareness. So even if the survival rate were 1%, both the life quality and quantity of that fetus would be so immensly reduced by the early birth, the terrible prize the other 99% would pay in deaths by infections (they have no immune system, meaning any bacteria will ravage them horribly), not to mention the surviving fetus would life a very short life in great suffering. However, according to Lurch that's irrelevant and they're all child killers.

In reply to this comment by Krupo:
Kreegath, leaving all the extreme scenarios out of the picture, I think we can all agree that something abortion should not be used for is birth control for "inconvient" pregnancies. One would hope people could just wait a little longer and share the life with a childless couple in an endless adoption queue...

Don't miss this.

LOL, I was clearly sifting and commenting WAY too late at night.

You ever use PrintScreen? Just press the key, then paste anywhere.

I use it all the time at work to collect evidence from any Windoze PC. Then just paste in Paint, Word, whatev.

Hope that helps.

Why? Does it automatically save the .jpg to where ever I want? I know there are alternatives, but I just don't use screen captures enough to have bothered getting one.

Thanks, Legacy.
