That would solve a lot of religious hatred. But most people in turbans and those thumping bibles wouldn't be as grownup as you.

I was raised not to hit women. In my core I think it's wrong, though I think it's a terribly biased and arcane belief. Once in high school during a breakup my ex-girlfriend started wailing on me and trying desperately to kick me in the nuts. I wanted to defend myself, but felt I couldn't outside trying to catch her arms before they hit me.
I think in the deep recesses of my mind, I watch this and feel some sense of perverted justice for all the times a girl was violent against me and I felt I couldn't retaliate.
Also, how many times has a woman put your ass in danger by mouthing off to some dude? And all of a sudden you have to fight to defend her honor or some crazy archaic primal bullshit like that.

I was raised the same way, but whenever something like that happened to me, I found the best possible way to resolve the situation (And I actually mean this in all seriousness)
Was a hug.
After a few seconds of taking a hit or two, I'd grab an arm, spin them so their back was to me and hold their arms in a "Hug" type of stance.
It was almost an instant de-escalator. They're either forced to talk about why they were taking swings at me in the first place, or too embarrassed to keep going because they got beat by a hug.
In this situation mind you, I don't think the hug would go so well.

I would like to know what the song is from. Who it is. I thought I'd heard it with some dude singing in it quite some time ago.

Sorry BB, had to downvote it.

Is this really Machinima? I think it's more a case of some dude cutting and pasting, creating a compilation from all of the clips/trailers of BF3 that have been released by the studio.

Nice, but not Machinima in my opinion.

Such a shame he stepped down. He was a real force of honesty in the senate house. While he may have resorted to lies to prevent his private life from being exposed, which is a shame and is hypocritical, he has done more to expose actual lies that effect this country than most if not all of his colleagues.
Lie and it causes innocent civilians and US Troops to die? Fine... just a misunderstanding... of course. Lie about your underwear and cause no damage outside of your personal life? BURN THE WITCH!1! Absurd. If you are a non US citizen, rest assured that the US cares MUCH more about some dudes underwear than you or your child being ripped asunder by our very own shrapnel.
If he had to step down... WHY oh WHY could he not at least have made David Vitter an example of this hypocritical nonsense in the same breath. He had such courage in his active senate career as congressman... If only he could have displayed the same on his way out.

Fixed.

Honestly, I was disappointed. I saw "Hot Wheels" and figured it was an actual Hot Wheels car, which, imo, would have been more impressive world record. When I realized it was a full size car, for some reason I figured it would not be a motorized full sized car, as most Hot Wheels cars I ever had were not motorized. And that, imo, would also have been more impressive world record. This is just some dude jumping a regular old car, I've seen it before. yawn.

i feel ya BB.

it's just the current narrative that most people buy into propagated by the media.
why?
because they have shit to do,families to take care of and many times two jobs..sometimes three.
the factual information is out there but you have to look to find it and most people just dont have the time.
so we get folks regurgitating factoids and arguments given to them by well-paid pundits.
"they took our jobs"
if some dude from mexico who cant even speak the language, and has no education, took your job then you are a loser of such EPIC and humiliating proportions.
pablo didnt take your job,your job was outsourced to india.blame your company not some migrant worker.

in the 80's they gave us the narrative "welfare queens" now we are being told it is those "greedy" and "lazy" school teachers,and the unions they are part of,totally ignoring the history of unions and the thousands who died fighting so we can have:
40 hr work weeks.
weekends off.
safer work enviroments.
equal labor practices and the fact that its illegal to have your 8 yr old daughter working 14 hrs a day..7 days a week.
the list is impressive.

they say that universal health care is socialism while conveniently ignoring certain aspects of our government being of that very model.
they also ignore those pesky facts that health care would be cheaper on a single payer plan.one that we already have!
medicare is by far one of the most efficient per dollar than any other government institution.
but those facts just get in the way of their narrative.

look at how they formulate their premise.
using words to compare our government with running a business or household.
it is weak and factually dishonest but people can relate to that because they understand...
it relates to how THEY live,so it makes sense to them.
but it has nothing at all to do with reality.

the food stamp program,along with social security have been two of the great success stories.
keeping the poor and working poor from destitution due to all resources going to food.
lowered child mortality because these kids can eat and older,more vulnerable of this society dont end up homeless.
almost 70 million on food stamps but what will they show as their proof these things are a failure?
anecdotal evidence.not to convey a strong point but rather to appeal to the emotional nature of us all.

these people are being duped into believing that certain politicians think and feel just like they do.
no...they dont.
the ONLY time you matter to a politician EVER..is the election cycle.

for as long as public elections are financed by private funding special interest will always have their ears and by proxy...set the narrative.
they call it "public relations".
i call it what it is:propaganda.

oh man.total derailment.
my bad.

@dag...dude, Oscar Wilde was totally being sarcastic when he said that.

I think I would have the same reaction of some dude being punched in the nuts. Oscar Wilde said that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit - genital punches would have to be a few levels below that. >> ^eric3579:
What is the reason many of you have a problem with this video? Is it because a guy is hitting a girl? Would you feel the same if it were a girl hitting a girl or a girl hitting a guy? It can't be just because they are doing something which seems crazy stupid. There's lots of that on the sift. It's also somewhat violent, but I've seen way worst unwanted and wanted horrific violence on the sift(fighting or someone getting KOed as an example), which I find way more offensive. I'm just not sure what people find so horrible. Is it an assumption being made by us about who these people are, and what they think? Someone throw me a bone.

And yet "man gets hit in crotch" holds the number one spot on Americas funniest home videos 50,000 years in a row.

Seeing a girl involved in this sort of stupid behavior is a first for me and quite unexpected. If it were guys I would think they're just idiots(no entertainment value), but I've always seen women as being a bit brighter then men and therefore not being involved in stupid shit like this (especially at this age). In the end it made me laugh, and I won't be as entertained next time a girl acts like a dorky boy.

What are this guys credentials? Is he just some dude regurgitating articles? Because I can handle that duty on my own.

Fucks sake! There should be a law against this. And some dude faces 20 years in jail for pretending to sexualise kids? Yeah, despair isn't the word...

@gwiz665
That's what I told myself when I had to go through the procedure at Hamburg airport last month. They are using these scanners experimentally, so you actually get to pick if you pass through the scanner or accept a classic pat down. As if to punish folks who don't like to be guinea pigs, they appear to be searching people quite thoroughly nowadays.

Back to the point though, the fantasy of having a young female security employee give your crotch a quick once-over makes it less unappealing. Like Jimmy Carr says, "don't neglect the balls". But that bubble bursts when reality catches up with you and some dude is manhandling your balls.

If that's the way they treat an average Caucasian guy over here, Dave Chappelle's description of police encounters might become the standard welcoming procedure after the arrival in the US: "spread your cheeks and lift your sack!".

Anyway, next time I'm visiting a friend in England, I'll take the 8 1/2 hour train ride, thank you very much.

I've made it a rule to never go to parties where I don't know at least a few people fairly well. Party small talk with strangers is the worst kind of small talk. The worst was a time I was talking to this drunk army dude who was spewing out the manly bullshit and I was pretending to be amazed by. I found out he used to live around where I did and I jokingly said something about living just down the road from the mini red-light district. Which was basically a collection of random shack like buildings that were 'smoke shops' and 'massage palors'. And he in his quiet drunk guy, yet still very loud, voice, confided, 'Just between you and me I like go there and get a hand-job or BJ when I'm on R&R.' His fiance was well within ear-shot and instantly staring daggers.

There aren't many times I've felt more awkward than that. I was just talking to some dude to pass the time so I wouldn't look like a boring pussy for leaving the 'cool' party early.
