Ah bugger, I had a skip through to see if there were any obvious lip synch mishaps but it seemed to be kosher... =\

This is my last stab... =D

As an Atlantic Canadian, I can say I actually winced when he threw that lobster into what-could-have-been unsalted water.

For good lobster you need kosher salt.

For best lobster, you cook it in sea water. Over an open driftwood fire. On a cobblestone beach. With clams steaming open on hot rocks next to the fire.

*cue Homer hungry sound effect.

^vote for "kosher rainbow tongue".

It sounds like an honest mistake, not straight up spam worthy of a ban. If @choggie wants to repost it for him and make it all kosher, I'm fine with that. Are others?

So here's the deal (example here, up for discussion): When an an original embed is unavailable and fixing be in order, is it kosher to replace it with another embed of the same tone an timbre if it is done so without contest from the community at-large OR the original submitter, be they current users or in absentia? I do it all the time, good way to get real quick, Videosift© shit-tickets

..In FACT, I'm gonna do it again and again and hand out promotes until I get too tired to breathe and then pass out!

@Quboid ~ Hell yeah!!?? Tax the unhealthy and those who have caused their health problems. Television, Monsanto, manufacturers of the shit, advertisers, etc. AND, a point of sale tax for any food that is not organic, kind, or kosher!!
Churches should have 10 per-cent of their tithes received as well, go straight into the healthcare system...which incidentally is cranking along in the black now that diabetes and heart disease are virtually non-existent AGAIN ~


Hell yeah? This seems kind of fascist to me. Taxing foods based on their nutritional value wouldn't be a bad thing, if largely unenforceable. Actually we have a form of that in the UK, items that are considered necessities aren't charged VAT (sort of like sales tax) but luxuries are charged 20% VAT, with "normal" foods being necessities and fancier foods and eating out counting as luxuries. It's not particularly effective, but I'd guess it's doing some good.

I was looking forward to finding out about 'Tax Athiests'. I am unsatisfied.


....Similarly, I expected to find out about tax-dodging atheists who use their disbelief in God to include ALL, God-like institutions.

Also, the bagels you provide on bagel-Thursdays are really just glorified dinner rolls with seeds on them. I'd personally not even like to have bagel-Thursdays if they're not going to be kosher. Maybe we could use the money for something else? Like some decent f-ing coffee?

Was this a convention or lecture about the validity of religion or Christianity? Was it a lecture about how religion has impeded the gay rights movement? The title indicates it's a JOURNALISM convention which means that anyone launching into an anti-religious agenda is already in a questionable position. Bully or Hero or Awesome are merely labels people will apply based on their personal beliefs on the topic of religion/homosexuality.

Please note that he does not restrict his criticism of religion to homosexuality, so even making an argument that it is relevant because of his personal life or the topic of religion/sexuality/journalism isn't completely kosher. It is very apparent that he is not criticizing the stance on homosexuality by Christians but their faith out right.

In a convention full of HS students, he calls a book and religion bullshit, would you all have said it wasn't bullying if he said that Islam and Muslims were bullshit? What about anything else people strongly believe believe which are social/cultural choices? What if he was saying that people who think women should not be beaten are bullshit and some battered women walked out...is that bullying?

In my eyes he abused his moment to speak about topics that all attendees volunteered for to push a personal agenda and he did it in a confrontational and heavy handed manner. Students who did not come to get a bible lesson from someone in a journalism convention walked out, shame on them right? Regardless of whether you agree with him or not, you just sound ignorant if you say that what he said is completely understandable/respectable given the audience and context.

I think you're mixing a few separate questions.

In particular, the idea that Videosift banning pornography is "self" regulation. If dag decides that he personally doesn't want to post pornography on the Internet, that's self-regulation. If dag wants to host a site that publishes user content, but wants to regulate what those users are allowed to publish, that's not him regulating "himself" that's him regulating others.

I'm also not taking an absolutist stance against private censorship -- I think it's perfectly kosher to say that private publishers are free to limit certain specifically enumerated types of speech (hate speech, incitement to violence, pornography, etc.), but that the general rule is that if it doesn't clearly fall inside one of those enumerated categories it's against the law for them to censor it.

As for the historical case, I'm not aware of any country where an attempt to ban censorship turned into a regime that chilled free speech. What I'm talking about here is really Net Neutrality stated as a general principle rather than as an Internet-specific legislation.

>> ^GeeSussFreeK:

@NetRunner So videosift is violating free speech by its terms and agreements by not allowing pornography? People can't self regulate without Congregational approval? You think that will create MORE free speech and not less? I don't think there is a history of that being the case.

Yeah, the concept is great including the fact that theft/robbery/griefing (ie. stuff that happens in the real world) are all kosher.

Any game with the sheer scope for such an event to be pulled off should be applauded, but it certainly doesn't mean it's for everyone. ; )

maybe an odd thing to point out, but anybody else notice the 'aljazeera' just blocks out the whole bottom of the screen (over other news agency's logos). that doesn't seem kosher...


Maybe that's by request or something? I know in Australia the tv stations block out ads at the bottom of the screen for WWE Broadcasts. It's kinda weird but whatever.
