[Please fix this promote thing quickly. I see a vid I think is stellar, but how to promote? Open a new window, click on the oldest vid in the promote section, scroll down, looking for the promote and how long it has been, make a decision -- do I push this vid off the promote stack?

This is deeply annoying as a seasoned Sifter. How the bloody hell is a casual person going to figure out this out?]

If the tax cuts are indeed revenue neutral as Rmoney keeps claiming....

THEN WHY THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU WANT TO DO THEM??????

If paying lower taxes will prod the "job creators" into making more jobs, and they aren't going to be paying less tax, then this won't do a dang thing, right?

This is such nonsense, I can't hardly stand it.

I got some mail from Obama today. Don't usually read it. Did today. Saying the same ole thing about Republicans not having a plan, or at least not willing to share it. Here's a paragraph that made me laugh:

"And that's because they've got the same plan they've had for 30 years: Tax cuts, tax cuts, gut a few regulations, and then give some more tax cuts. Tax cuts when times are good. Tax cuts when times are bad. Tax cuts to help you lose a few extra pounds, tax cuts to improve your love life."

Sex sells, ya?

Bloody hell...

That's one hell of an emotional rollercoaster! Bloody hell...

Playing with a crutch? Bloody Hell.... and he'd whip most anyone doing so too... Amazing.

I changed the title. Although honestly, I could have done that at first. The line drawings were quite helpful...

Bloody hell, you keep finding the wierdest stuff.

This semi-instructional clip on how to hide a boner was part of an educational programme that was aired on a tv channel meant for kids/teens.

Bloody hell there's some fine example of doing fuck all to stop the progress of the fire.

"Hey look, I've just seen the fire at its very start, outside, which is probably near a hose"

...

"I think I'll film this and go 'hell noes'"


There really are some insanely stupid people around.

"Life, it's what you make of it"

Bloody hell, didn't know that one was coming! Well done you, most excellent sifter and a *quality dude

Wow, this is such fine bullshit.

Yep, there are a bunch of uneducated idiots around.

There are a bunch of horrible racists around.

There are hate mungers who hate Jews and refuse to accept the Holocaust .

Then he takes these hypothetical questions about one of the most hated people of all time, and tries to make it seem shocking that people would suggest that it would be ok to kill him or those that created him.


AND THEN HE TRIES TO BLAME IT ALL ON HIM NOT BEING CHRISTIAN.

Bloody hell this guy is twisted.

I didn't get all the way through it, I don't need to have this guy use the same tactics that Hitler used to push his agenda. I just jumped through a bit, started seeing that he pushed these questions on people and then started saying that they should 'trust alone in Jesus Christ'.

Argh, he's disgusting.

I'm going to *promote this, as I want people on the sift with more patience, and more time than I to pick apart all the logical fallacies, all the straw man arguments, all the horrendous emotive bullshit in play here.

This man obviously does not see the stunning hypocritical nature of using fear and propaganda to push his agenda in just the way Hitler did. Mr Comfort, go off to a cabin with Mr Cameron and ogle your bananas and crocoduck, leave the rest of the world alone.

Shit oh howdy.

Where the bloody hell did I use the word "homophobe" in the video description?

And he didn't try to kiss him on the mouth, he went for his cheek, which is the culture in France, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and many other countries. Will said he went for his mouth, but he didn't. At least, I didn't see it. He kissed him on the cheek.

What is interesting to me is that the first description I wrote did use the word "homophobe" but then I removed it. Because it was too strong. Will Smith does promote gay marriage. He clearly isn't a homophobe.

And -- man, did he react strongly to being kissed by a man. Instinctively. As an American man, not as a French man, or a Saudi. I don't believe a French man or a Saudi would have slapped a man who kissed him. I don't think that Will Smith would slap a woman who kissed him on the cheek. But he is an American man and there are strong boundary issues between American men.

You can be angry at me for pointing that out. It doesn't make it any less true.

What I find remarkable -- as I noted in the video description -- is how difficult it must be to be a celebrity and people want to touch you. Hug you. And yes, kiss you. That takes courage to allow all these strangers into your personal space like that. Will Smith is a courageous man who respects his fans and allows them into his personal space.

And he reacted instinctively as an American man when kissed by a man.

Man, it is sooooo tiring to be accused of things I don't do. Tiring.

>> ^longde:

Reading the trolling video description, I really wish I would have downvoted.
Not wanting to be kissed on the mouth by a perfect stranger makes one a homophobe? Not being gay = homophobia? Just like with your "saying 'girl' makes you a sexist" shtick, you are drawing the lines too tightly.

Bloody hell, that looks promising. I can't wait.

Sure they're some pretty pictures. But think of the volumes of water moving in this. Think of the energy needed to move it all. Bloody hell.


yep, the amount of power in tides and currents is staggering. The problem is harnessing it.
