i have zero desire to see trance banned,that was never my intent for calling him out.
i simply wanted him to acknowledge his emotional response to a disagreement on a video he posted,
that the disagreement was with the video NOT him..personally.

i know this will only further derail this thread but i think it should be said.

a video is not a representation of the person.
being called out does not automatically translate to dislike of the person being called out.

a few weeks ago i did a little experiment with clickbait titles and @ChaosEngine totally called me on it.which gave me a nice chuckle and chaos was in the right but interestingly enough,the experiment worked.that video got 10 times the views it normally would in the same allotted time.

there was another video i posted where i didnt do my due diligence and it turned out to be a total fraud and @speechless (quite politely) called me out on that video and i was forced to apologize in shame.

does all this translate to chaos and speechless disliking me?
of course not.
i got busted using clickbait methodology and not doing my homework.while a tad embarrassing,being called out taught a lesson and a bit of humility.

point: i was the better for it.

trances targeted downvoting was an emotional response and he was behaving foolishly,but make no mistake..trance is no fool.he just took my analysis and criticism personally and responded emotionally.

no animals were harmed,all the puppies are still cute and kitty videos are more popular than ever.

human beings are sometimes irrational and emotional.trance should not be banned for behaving like a human being.

You're just the king of the strawmen and trying to change the subject aren't you?

I never referred to Trance's video. That's not the issue. Once again (since you keep forgetting...deliberately?) the issue is the abuse of the voting system.

I haven't watched the video, nor have I voted on it. Also irrelevant to your censorship argument since even flagged videos are still viewable here. Regardless of how you spin it. There is no censorship and by extension (since you appear to have not understood my argument) freedom of speech on a private website. If the Owner of the site says you're out, you're out. You exist here on the owner's whim. You of all people should understand that.

So quit trying to derail...or gasp..we may have to start questioning your...integrity.

it's completely one sided dude. I haven't interacted with enoch in months, then out of nowhere, blammo. so again, this leads me to believe this his been boiling up in him for a while now. I find myself agreeing with Lantern that we should get back to the topic at hand instead of derailing.

If there was some sort of rivalry going on. No one informed me.

If you had used Bobtern in your example, it might be more accurate.

Are you just throwing out buzzwords to sound cool? You honestly aren't sounding very sane or rational at the moment dude. This sounds more like an emotional rant that's been boiling for months and you finally lost your cool. you keep spewing out words like hypocritical, no humanity, two dimensional yet no objective details.

just vague subjective terms and references to bodily functions.

I see you are taking up choggie's mantle of derailing sifts for your personal vendettas and nonsensical ravings, though.

What you do is shave all the males bald and tattoo a giant letter 'C' for cunt on their foreheads after dropping leaflets warning those who want to keep their disguises, to get the hell out before sunrise. Relocate the women and children to de-assholification kibbutzim created specifically to derail yet another generation's mind-fucking.

man, I can't even be bothered derailing that video anymore.

I do think it's odd that @gorillaman accuses anyone who disagrees with him of being "intellectually and morally subhuman" and then calls me "a shallow, gawping spectacle-whore", but somehow I am the one that loves drama.

The strange misapprehension that I give a fuck continues for reasons unknown....

Oh and read your comment, wasn't my intention to derail the thread if anyone could ever blame me for doing so, couldn't agree with you more, Brand was spot-enough on here for the sheit-fest he got a check for in making his daily rounds, and Jon Snows' drinking all the good scotch and eating force-meat liver whilst ordering-out for whatever twisted form of pleasure he demands

This comment stream shows that the interviewer succeeded in what he apparently set out to do -- derail the conversation into something other than what Russell Brand came to talk about.

Changing society's approach to drug laws and drug treatment.

It is a complete canard to say that Brand can't talk about using the existing system to change the drug situation because Brand doesn't like the current system. So what if he doesn't like it? He is going to stop trying to fix things?

So far, all the comments aren't about Brand's perspective on drug laws. They are off and running on a side issue.

And that is how the system doesn't change. False equivalencies, derailment from the topic, and nobody even notices.

Fuck.

SHE SMILED AT YOU BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY


LET YOUR FEEEEELING LIFT BOY





Drive boy, dog boy, dirty, numb angel boy
In the doorway boy, she was a lipstick boy
She was a beautiful boy and tears boy
And all in your inner space boy
You had chemicals boy and steel boy
You had chemicals boy, I've grown so close to you
Boy and you just groan boy
She said, "Come over, come over", she smiled at you boy [x2]

Let your feelings lift, boy, but never your mask boy
Random blonde boy, high density
Random blonde boy, blonde country
Blonde high density

You are my drug boy, you're real boy
Speak to me and boy, dog dirty numb cracking boy
You get wet boy, big, big time boy, acid bear boy
And babes and babes and babes and babes and babes

And remembering nothing boy, when you like my tin horn boy
And get wet like an angel, derail

You got a velvet mouth, you're so succulent
And beautiful shimmering and dirty wonderful
And hot times on your telephone line
You got to never land on your telephone and in walks an angel

And look at me, your mum squatting pissed in a tube hole
At Tottenham Court Road
I just come out of The Ship
Talking to the most blonde I ever met

Shouting, "Lager, lager, lager, lager"
Shouting, "Lager, lager, lager, lager"
Shouting, "Lager, lager, lager, lager"
Shouting, "Lager, lager, lager"

Shouting "Mega, mega white thing, mega, mega
White thing, mega, mega white thing, mega, mega"
Shouting, "Lager, lager, lager, lager
Mega, mega white thing, mega, mega white thing"

So many things to see and do in the tube hole true blonde
Going back to Romford, mega, mega, mega
Going back to Romford, hi mum, are you having fun?
And now are you on your way to a new tension and headache?

So instead of addressing my concerns about your argument, you go on a diatribe about feminism which essentially derails your own post about how this is about medical research being held back.

You're basically proving that I'm right, you chose this because you wanted a platform to punch feminism in the face, not a venue which you can bring in an informed critique. This was supposed to begin a discussion, not set up your soapbox.

What a worthless fucking stupid cunt you are.

Can we have one discussion on economics without the libertarians derailing it with their nonsense? No-one wants it. Get over it. The rest of the world has learned from history that libertarianism is a fucking disaster when actually implemented.

Earning $200k isn't actually that big a deal. Yeah, you're well off, but you don't have the kind of unbelievably obnoxious level of wealth that the 1% have.

@RedSky 70% isn't hyperbole. Top marginal rate in the US in the 50s was actually 91%.

Ultimately it's an incredibly short sighted position. America has systematically destroyed it's middle class and over time will remove it's own market. Keep going down this track and eventually China owns you.

Changed it back to my original title (as seen by the url) as the title has kinda derailed the comments and what the video is actually about.

Your video, Subway Train Derails and Goes Up Escalator, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

sorry, but choggie's derailed yet another sift, so I won't be participating

while you did need to reign it in there. It wouldn't have happened had not a certain someone completely changed the topic of the sift.

used to be about creationists remember before it got derailed...as usual
