Did I fix this with the right embed? The video's title is almost identical to yours, but it's about 9 minutes longer than your original embed. I've never seen the original, so I can't tell based on content. I guess you can re-dead it if it's wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's right.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Still, I know myself well enough to know that I would make a bad leader. I'm unstable.

Dude, start your own country. Seriously. You just need a whole lot of self control, since their won't be anyone else to control you. After all, that's what freedom is. Check this site out for some information on the nature of Land (as opposed to the property within the Land).

I'm not in the chorus line of people who usually say "cops are never held accountable," but I am in the chorus line of people who say "cops are rarely held accountable." I stand by that.
I have little faith in our government. All three branches are broken. And Obama is proving himself to be more and more a typical politician these days. So it should be no surprise that law enforcement (a part of the government) would also be broken.
I'm not an anarchist. I'm not a minarchist. I'm not a libertarian. I'm just a pissed-off liberal. Most Americans have gotten lazy, across the entire political spectrum, not watching the government as closely as we should. And we've allowed corporate interests to control the government. But that really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Our vaunted Founding Fathers created our representative democracy, which was designed that way primarily so that the wealthy would have more control than the rabble, so it's basically been that way since the beginning. It only got worse over time, especially when corporations were granted the status of legal personhood by the Supreme Court.
So here we are. Sure, cops get prosecuted for wrongdoing some of the time. Gotta throw the public a bone every once in a while. But the remainder of the time police abuse is allowed to slip through the cracks, just like most cases of white collar crime aren't even investigated, just like most cases of political corruption never see the light of day. Yet we'll send some kid to the big house for possessing a nickel bag. It's all part of the same crippled, disfigured beast.
Can we fix this fucking mess, or is it a hopeless case? I don't know for sure. I want a decent country for my son. Maybe the best thing I can do for him is emigrate, but a lot of other countries are fucked too. (Thank you, Canada, for letting us know that your cops aren't any better than ours.) I still vote, and I still throw a little green at a few political figures and causes I believe in. (Sorry Obama, but don't count on my contribution in 2012.) Still it seems like I'm shoveling shit against the tide, but I feel like I gotta try something. Anything.
So I'm a cycnical bastard. But I think I've got a right to be.>> ^NetRunner:
I'm waiting for the chorus line of people who usually say "cops are never held accountable" to show up and explain to us that they're certain the cops still won't face any punishment for what they did...
Because, by their logic, if the video clip doesn't show Obama personally beheading all six officers, you know nothing will happen because the justice system never, ever works right. Ever.

This, "It's only the internet" shit would apparently from the accounts from female(s) who have met this, what appears to be, developmentally disabled child gwiz665 in person does not seem to apply here-I would tend to trust the in-person meeting over the online persona, if you could call it one.
I haven't been here active until recently,but i have been watching some of the more prolific users.
Gwiz665? You need some basic social decorum lessons alla Liza Doolittle-Doesn't appear given your geographical orientation and command of a conversation that you get out a whole lot. (Note the defensive posturing of the accused in light of hard evidence and/or disagreement of any kind with his position)-schoolyard shenanigans.
Qualm? He won't leave, and he won't become any more interesting nor will his overall raw, untrained incivility falter. Feel sorry for him but don't knock his ice cream cone in the sand for good measure-From the looks of his past with other users,he ain't gonna take any advice, good, bad, or otherwise.
Shut-in douchebag?? Too much attention as a child? Legend in his own mind?

Being a Canadian resident, you might like this video, posted by a probie. I think it's pretty cool. It looks like something you might post.

EDIT: Duckman took care of it. It's working now.
Okay, it's almost done. For some reason *the dead invocation didn't work yet, probably because siftbot now thinks it's unsifted, for whatever stupid reason. Go ahead and upvote it, then try the *dead invocation yourself. Hopefully that will do the trick and replace the embed automatically with a backup.
In reply to this comment by Zyrxil:
Well I want to get the original back alive because it's up at the top for Google search results already, for terms relating to a similar Mythbusters experiment done a month or two ago. Plus all the other stuff like preserving comments, etc.
Donate your points!

Thanks. I wish other people would be a little more open-minded. Maybe in another generation or two a story like this won't be surprising. One can hope.

I understand what you're saying, rottenseed. I suppose I wasn't clear with my wording. Just because my little brother sometimes liked to pretend to be a girl and play with a lot of girl toys didn't automatically mean he was going to be gay. When I wrote, "If you haven't guessed by now, he's gay..." I meant that you might guess where I was going with this story, given the topic at hand. I wasn't trying to suggest that occasional girl-like behavior in a boy meant that the boy inevitably will become a gay man. My bad.
In regard to tedbater's comment, as bananafone and I mentioned, she didn't have surgery. She's now being treated as a girl instead of a boy, but no surgical reassignment has taken place. The parents consulted a specialist about this and learned as much as they could about transgenderism before they started treating her as a girl. Maybe you consider that disgusting as well. I don't know. Regardless, the issue itself isn't as cut and dried as you might believe. Neither of us are experts, and I can tell the parents didn't approach the issue lightly. I think their approach to this deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Whoa. A side of you I've never seen before. And all she was trying to do was promote interracial sexiness.

How long has it been?

Glad to do it. As someone who came of age in the '80s, it brilliantly encapsulated the Debbie Gibson/Tiffany phenomena, as well as the materialism of the era. And it was funny.
Stick around for a while, why dontcha?

You're right, it is a dupe. I tried to fix your dead video with the embed ant used, so that's how I caught it. Anyway, find someone else to *isdupe it (I already did the *dupeof invocation), then you can fix it.
