I'll trump that with the following observation. In Vancouver we have a Steam operated clock in our historic disctrict of Gastown (it's not really steam operated, but that's beside the point). The clock is completely inaccurate, but even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

On the quarter-hour the clock whistles. People wait until it whistles before taking their flash photos. Think about it- people take flash photographs of SOUND!

I used to think that people taking flash photos of fireworks were the dumbest people on earth--until I saw this video, which features people taking flash photos of a movie. It's like trying to pour yourself a beer at the bottom of a swimming pool.

Are you a Scientologist on the Run? A Branch Davidian lamenting the things you lost in the fire? A Nike wearing member of Heaven's Gate who missed the comet? Did they run out of Kool-Aid during lunch and now you find yourself lost, homeless and friendless?

You're all welcome here at CultSift, a warm fuzzy place that serves as a clearing-house for cult related videos and discussion on this big blue spaceship we call the internet. Come on in, put your feet up, loosen your cilise, shave your head and cut your nuts off if that's your thing, but make yourself at home.

If you want to become a CultSifter, all you have to do is ask a CultSifter.

Thanks man, I thought nobody noticed (sniff).

Kudos on the 250 star point achievement. You should thank the idiots, I mean, kind people who congratulate you.

Just to set the record straight. THE SNIPER WAS NOT THE HOOKER. Just watched the movie a few minutes ago, watched the credits too. Leanne Hong played the motorcycle hooker "Too beaucoups!", Papillon Soo played the Da Nang hooker "Me so horny!", and Ngoc Le was the sniper.

FNG ryjkyj forced me to watch one of the best movies ever all over again. Bastard.

the book this was based off is called The Short-timers and its great. Plus it has a whole other ending. and its short. strongly recommended for anyone who liked this movie. it's got some really gritty shit about jungle warfare and the mindfuck that place was. how soldiers would have to walk in a line with their hands out in front on their buddy's shoulder at night in the jungle because it was so dark. or all the booby traps they set up. or how stepping on a loud twig/stick could be your death. or soldiers copying animal sounds to communicate at night. endless shit of cool stuff like that

Not calling anyone a hypocrite, just trying to make a point and maybe win a few hearts and minds. And yes, we really can change peoples' minds and effect change- it's been done several times. Have a look at this post for one of the best debates ever on the sift... http://www.videosift.com/video/Eyes-Wide-Shut-teaser

Those video's are no good. I got confused by your original title (the good, the blah blah) and then further comments (such as Dag's) about marines becoming enraged by stress.

I agree with you, but other then getting admin involved, there's really nothing you can do. You can't make people care. I guess calling them hypocrites is something... good job.

Redsnow- you're missing the point. This is not about Marines, it's about animal abuse. More than a few postings on the sift depict animal abuse, but it has been considered acceptable because the animals in question are scary or creepy.

See these examples: http://www.videosift.com/video/Scorpion-vs-Black-Widow-Intense-sheesh

http://www.videosift.com/video/Hideous-Spider-Beast-Trapped-By-Brave-Soldier

These are the two most recent examples.

I don't really understand the point of this post. Sure, we can all say something here, it hits our nerves, but is there anything constructive that can come of this? Does anyone really think that all marines are sociopaths because of this video? Maybe I should post a video of a hillbilly firebombing a cage of squirrels, call it intellectual debate and brand myself the hero of dissonance and patriotic morality.

This is nothing but shock value and it cheapens the site. I’m not trying to give you a hard time blankman, you were concerned and wanted to bring this to attention, but lets step back, think, and realize there is nothing here but empty cannonfodder.

I can't believe it has never been posted, especially during that cop-dumps-quadriplegic fiasco.

BTW, I love your new avatar- Lebowski is one of my all-time favorites, and Walter Sobchak was easily John Goodman's best role.

It creeped me out when you were masquerading as Siftbot. Man, I hate that little fucker.

In reply to this comment by MarineGunrock:
TRBM, you need to change the title. For many reasons, all of them being obvious. But I'll list them here anyway.
1) I find it incredibly offensive.
2) It paints all Marines to be puppy-killing bastards
3) It's inflammatory.
4) It's derogatory.

I notice you voted against a previous video depicting animal abuse, please have a look at this and weigh in with you 2 cents. It's the video of the Marines in Iraq who murdered a small puppy. Thanks.

I know it's a lazy way to draw attention to a post, but it's effective. And no, not all police are fascist or abusive, but these ones certainly seem to be. I really believe strongly in the importance of exposing abuses by those in authority.

In reply to this comment by Farhad2000:
Oh another cops are fascists post...

arvana: Patriotic fervor doesn't even enter into the conversation when we're talking about the greatest country in the world. Think of how much better off the world would be if Canada, rather than the USA (led by the Bilderbergers) ran things!
In reply to this comment by arvana:
Hmm. While I was born in Canada and currently live in Canada, my heritage is mixed; and I've lived in so many other countries that I've never been able to get behind any kind of patriotic fervour. So no upvote from me, but the rest of you canuckleheads knock yourselves out!

I need your help urgently with this one. We're (Canada) taking over. Need a quick upvote to quickly overcome the superior numbers of our opposition. It'll just be like that time we burnt down the Whitehouse in the war of 1812!
