I vote "Yay, [sic]" because if slapping inappropriate channels on posts is a suspendable offense, it should be one regardless of whether we like the offender or not, and whether we agree with the offender's intentions or not.

If we really banned CP420 for being an insufficiently entertaining troll, then we should unban berticus and volumptuous, and anyone else who was suspended for turnabout on CP420 or lampooning the decision to ban berticus.

Are we a Sift of laws, not men, or a Sift of men and not laws?

I don't fucking care either way, so long as we're permanently short a troll, and only without the voices of some constructive, but rambunctious, members for a mere two weeks.

I do think we need to view the Sift more like a "nerds only" country club, and not like it's a nation -- people don't have the right to be here, we just offer the privilege to those who want it, and gladly ban people who rip up the course, or fling feces at the nice people enjoying the cat fart videos.

Those who think that will lead to a unanimity of discourse, forget that -- I think we love the people who disagree with us and can make a good argument -- it's the mindless jerks we can do without.

Besides, it's not like it's a death sentence for them to have to find somewhere else to spew their verbal diarrhea.

Or, as dystopianfuturetoday put it:

First, they came for the homophobic trolls, but I did not speak out, for I was not a homophobic troll.

Next, they... well, uh... after that, there really weren't too many problems... not that I can remember off the top of my head.

Her 'explanation' of why human beings are "systems" is awesome. It also says something about her potential audience that she needs to spend 30 seconds 'explaining' what "thinking" is. Lovely.

imstellar,

I love how you intentionally clipped the first two paragraphs of my quote. Especially the part that says: "I don't think it should be mandatory but part of me thinks that if it was, it would do this country some good."

I'll repeat that one part again: "I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BE MANDATORY." And again: "THINK."

I love that you can so easily take my ramblings, make them into a serious affront against mankind as a whole and then INTENTIONALLY misquote me. Sounds pretty anti-human-rights to me. That's right, you had to intentionally censor my voice to make your point. (which doesn't stand on its own when you actually read what I said.)

And then there's the part about threatening me with death over an internet comment...

You're not stellar. You're fucking pathetic.

By the way, it says a lot about YOU that you can easily bring up shooting me in the head but you're still afraid to spell out the word S-H-I-T. You really find the former less offensive?

I think I love you.

In reply to this comment by honkeytonk73:
Jesus dislikes communism. That is why you should vote Republican.

Now.. lets talk about Heaven. Heaven is a Communist enclave for certain. Noone owns property. Everyone is provided for under a universal provider plan for ALL of their needs. Food is free. Shelter is free. Entertainment is free. FOREVER. Now.. if that isn't a Communist paradise. I DONT KNOW WHAT THE F#$K IS.

I hear spicy food is addictive as it raises the endorphin levels. So it's not necessarily showing off, but just craving the rush of it I would think. I love spicy food!

I love playing the harmonica. Actually, I think I love that euphemism even more!

Aww! Thanks, mint! I was beginning to think nobody loved what I love.

It is no illusion and no surprise to say that Ahmadinejad hates jews. If you honestly think he loves jews and hates the Israeli government, take your blinders off. His 12th-Imam religious views are loud enough that anyone without earplugs in should hear them. The man is an absolute apocalyptic maniac. He is as close to Nazi as you can get in this decade without openly saying "death to jews and homos".

I have never read the watchmen, although I think I've heard of them before (I am heavy into anime). When I first saw this trailer (in HD too) my jaw droped.

After educating myself about the series from wiki, I will probably try and secure myself the graphic novel before the movie, however from what I've read, this trailer is nothing but win. It reminds me of dark city really, and so thats why I have some hope for it. IMO they have the director who can bring the vision of an awesome movie.. however what remains to be seen is if the script was any good to begin with. The guys who have been public about it have been pretty serious in trying to keep alot of key moments and scenes from the novel, especialy during the editing process, and the movie is planned to be 2 hours and 30 minutes (Its currently sitting at 3 hours). Its a nice number I think (I love 3 hours movies.. the more content the better imo) but I am obviously expecting things to be cut from the novel, and I am sure not everyone will be happy.

Lives are like retractable pencils
If you push them too hard they're gonna break
And people are like paper dolls
Paper dolls and people, they're a similar shape
Hmm hmm hm
Love is like a roll of tape
It's real good for making two things one
But just like that roll of tape
Love sometimes breaks off before you were done
Another way that love is similar to tape
That I've noticed
Is sometimes it's hard to see the end
You search on the roll
(search on the roll)
Search on the roll
(searching round the roll)
Search on the roll
(search)
With your fingernail
Again and again
And again and again
And again.
Brown paper, white paper
Stick it together with the tape
The tape of love
The sticky stuff
Brown paper, white paper
Stick it together with tape
The tape of love
The sticky stuff.
People people Chorus: Brown paper, white paper
Paper paper Stick it together with tape
Paper paper The tape of love
People people
People people
Pencil pencil
Pencil pencil
Paper paper
Put the pencil to the paper
Give the paper to the people
Let the people read about the sello tape
Oh baby baby
Yeah
You know, Jemaine, I've been thinking about love. And I guess it's the very stron-
gest adhesive.
Oh sorry, Bret. Were you talking to me? I was humming. What did you say?
Oh, just...nothing.
Brown paper, white paper
Stick it together with tape
The tape of love
The sticky stuff
Yeah
Ooh brown
Brown paper, white paper
Stick it together with tape
The tape of love
Say it
Sticky
Stick stick
Stick it together
Ye-yeah

See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
The breath from your own lips, the touch of fingertips
A sweet and tender kiss
The sound of a midnight train, wearing someone's ring
Someone calling your name
Somebody so warm cradled in your arms
Didn't you think you were worth anything
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world

Millions of us in love, promises made good
Your own flesh and blood
Looking for some truth, dancing with no shoes
The beat, the rhythm, the blues
The pounding of your heart's drum together with another one
Didn't you think anyone loved you
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world
See what you lost when you left this world, this sweet old world

I honestly believe the police officer escalated the situation,
and had he just explained the situation, all would be forgotten.
However, he pulls out his tazer the moment the man steps out of
the vehicle to speak with him. I think cops love these things.
The cop is in the wrong! Next time, shoot the cop!
