I have a curious inquiry into the downvote of my comment. Was there something inappropriate that I wrote? Something factually wrong (perhaps the 40% extrapolation?). Just to be clear - nowhere in that comment nor in my personal beliefs do I necessarily agree with everything that Brand says. I tried to explain his position without explicitly advocating it. I do think much of what he says is correct, but I take a very different view on it.

For someone with as much apparent wisdom as you have, you sure let choggie get to you, huh? Perhaps your avatar is a joke - some sort of inside humor on the failing of modern philosophy that I can't comprehend. I am dumbfounded. I am enfeebled. I suppose that's why I like the Grateful Dead so much. On the other hand, maybe you just ingested too many mushrooms and stuck your hand in the fan. The consolation is that your hand is not yours. Nothing to worry about bro.

^ It's the Postmodern Sift Talk Generator....oh fuck!! Get some rags and some ice!! Choggie stuck his hand under the lawn-mower again!!!

My apologies for trying to act like a bully - I was drunk and already pissed off about a number of other comments.

While I may have found your comment personally offensive (no I'm not Jewish), it hardly comes close to any sort of bannable offense. I don't want to get into a discussion/argument over your apparent problems with Jewish people, but I did want to point out that BreaksTheEarth's initial comment was not "anti-white". It was antiestablishment. If you feel that the establishment is primarily controlled by Jews, I'm not going to try to change your mind. I'll just note that a certain Austrian used exactly that logic in a fervor of nationalistic hatred some 70 years ago, with obviously horrific results.

I think SiftBot is falling behind its classmates.

And so it begins...

This only works on youtube vids, afaik. Add "start=N", where N is the number of seconds, as a parameter in the embed code. Don't forget the '&' in between parameters, and don't forget to add it to both parameter lists. So, for instance:


<object width="540" height="437"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/j7DMVVC2owQ&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&showsearch=0&start=20"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/j7DMVVC2owQ&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&showsearch=0&start=20" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" FlashVars="initialTime=0m21s" width="540" height="437"></embed></object>

Hey anyone know the instructions on how to start an embed at a particular point? I tried to put something in there which I found by googling it, but while it didn't break the embed it didn't skip that stupid stuff before 00:20.

Since the original video is yours, any thoughts on whether this video is a dupe?

This is so getting promoted. Must wait though.

Aww - and I had a bet you were going to ban him outright. Damn, I'm out $20.

Don't forget to vote for your own video.

Well, except for the "Shouty Track". But that's just hilarious, so you should watch it anyway.

YES! It's been so long, I forgot I'd read it. [edit] Sadly, I have nothing really intelligent to say about it beyond that I liked it.

Replying generally works better if you don't leave the comment on your own profile. Try the 'profile reply' link under each comment. Or leave a relevant message in an existing thread.

I'm not trying to scare you. I'm asking you to abide by the guidelines and rules of this community. Perhaps you should do the Christian thing and ask forgiveness for your arrogance and rudeness. You know nothing of my faith or relationship with God. You also claim to be a prophet and know the mind of God. I find your attitude contemptible. But regardless of what I think of your ideas and attitude, if you harass other members of this site, you will be banned.

I'm real scared Jonny girl. I'm a shaking in my boots! God is giving u a second chance to heed this Prophets warning. It is appointed upon ALL men, ONCE to die, after this, the Judgment!(Hebrews 9:27)

I'm going to give you one chance to stop leaving insulting messages on users' profiles.

How would that have been any different if it went to the deadpool immediately? The 'notdead' invocation works on videos in the deadpool just fine. You would have noticed it, invoked notdead, and the amount of time it spent off the front page would have been identical.

BTW, the poll has ended, with an overwhelming majority favoring at least a reduction to a 1 day delay.

In reply to this comment by lucky760:
Actually, it is *notdead.

(Perfect example of we need a delay after invoking dead.)

Do you think you could reinstate this mistakenly discarded video? It is most definitely not a dupe.
