yes, we can debate laws and other agreements of questionable merit. but
i kind of think the US is acting like an asshole. our image worldwide is fucked.

does anyone not get that we militarily occupy their holy land? we got our fingers so deep in their pants. we declare war when it suits us, and we blast them with drones and gunships from afar - and, quite naturally, they see it as acts of cowardice.
and then we have headlines about killing the guy who made an underwear bomb that didn't work. whoopee, we killed the crotch-bomber. the world is safe. billions of dollars and a ruined world image, while we create 10 enemies for every one we kill. what a sick stupid joke.

Wow, those puns are painful..
now for my stupid joke: "Oh man, watch out for national Wear Your Kilt to Work Day!"

I'm not entirely sure what you're upset about..

Are you upset about the video itself? or the comments ribbing it.

The video itself I see nothing wrong with, she obviously agreed to do it and knew what she was getting into. Yes, she got punched, no, it wasn't in anger and it wasn't somewhere that would truly hurt. (getting hit in the boob, eye, or nose would hurt a helluva lot more, i'm sure.)

The comments are nothing out of the ordinary, I tend to see videosift as a fairly close knit community. Maybe because I've been a member for years and I've just gotten used to them. When people feel comfortable with those around them, they make stupid jokes that they wouldn't otherwise, because generally "Everybody else" knows they're only joking.

I made a joke the other day on the drunk woman at the beach video about "maybe if she was wearing a one-piece." I'm not a sexist, I don't actually care what people are wearing as long as they enjoy how they look. I only said that because it was a stupid joke, nothing more. I feel that's how most of the community operates.

I'm more curious as to what you're specifically upset about so I can understand further.

edit: ah, the topless jousting.

That's just something that you'll unfortunately have to get used to. There was a large discussion on what classifies as "porn" on the sift not long ago, and ever since the floodgates have been open for people posting the dumbest stuff with naked people with the blanket over it labled "art".

It's something that's too tricky to nail down, and people exploit that.

there's a lot of dumbshit misogyny here and there's a lot of the opposite. and there's a lot of people who aren't actually dumbshit misogynists who are just making jokes. and there's a lot of people who don't realize how dumbshit misogynists they are just making stupid jokes. and there's a lot of other stuff too.
but i don't think that video was any of those things. i left my comment about how i felt about that video and the subsequent thread. it's much ado about nothing.
and yeah, this is just how it is here. i'm glad i'm not the only femme calling douchebaggery when i see it though.


yah peggedbea makes a good point here u always have to remember that its near bloody imposable to gleam exactly what sum one is communicating and there actual stance on things or there general attitude from a couple of words they are making on a comment.

She obviously doesn't know what she's talking about. There are no 16 cores right now, but you can get two exothermic processors that have hypo-schematic design apertures that have 8 cores each on one pre-tinseled generic slot board. This allows you to say you have 16 cores, but you still need to let people know that it's a diachronic multi-phased stupid joke filter...

It might be electronic too, I'm not an expert.

I'm not so fussed over Obama's agenda here. He ran his campaign with a "get rid of nukes" message mixed in. The Nobel committee gave him a peace prize for his no-nukes rhetoric. It made the NPP a stupid joke, but hey that's what they hung it on. Now conservatives are acting all amazed that he's doing it? Oh noes!
Even the reduction isn't that big a deal. He's just going back to basically the same stance that Carter and Clinton adopted. Fundamentally the policy isn't all that different from past administrations, so it isn't like this is something new and fantastic. It is stupid for conservatives to act like he's going to get rid of all nukes. It is stupid for the liberals to act like Obama has done anything significant or important. This is business as usual. Nothing to see here. Move along.


As the Daily Show pointed out he's doing the same stance that Reagan chose.

Who is getting treated differently? Westy was hobbled for making a stupid joke, and now here you are proposing that buzdos be hobbled, also for making a stupid joke. Sounds like the same treatment to me. Or are you just mad that someone else didn't come running to sift talk first?

Ah, well I was just making a stupid joke. Don't put too much into that.

well im not a confrontational person by nature so to be honest i promoted to make myself feel better (they were decent sifts though). What confrontation you might ask? I was perturbed when i read your post here http://www.videosift.com/video/Frank-Mccourt-Dies-at-78

stupid joke. at least he's not crying.

Shameless.

I love the Simpsons. But...seasone eleven really sucked.

They have so much talent there, so many characters, but they keep going for the cheap stupid joke.

Harvard guys, the writers.

They're just not trying any more.

But where are the Ron Paul slice it and dice it Ginsu knives?

(alright - last stupid joke)

God I love geeky brainiacs!

Between the geeky brainiacs and the commie hippies we might save the world yet.

We should make that a project: save the world.

Somebody should at least try.

Should've called it man sleeping with pussy.. cat. Ha get it? Stupid joke? Oh ok my bad..
