So what you're saying is.. you're a cowardly white privileged bigot who's too afraid to leave the safety of his software & champagne fortress and confront the real problems of the world?

Cause we all know that Silicon Valley has nothing to do with "societal decay".

I mean, sure companies like Apple deny hard-working Americans high-paying jobs/careers in the Technology Sector by exploiting cheap labor in Socialist countries like China. But that's just want any good cold and calculating capitalist would do.

OH OH! I got the perfect bumper sticker for you "I Hate Socialism.. but I Loove my Ipad. Vote Yes on Apples for Americans"

Then you could pass around a petition demanding that Apple build a new factory in Oakland.

You know, to stop all the societal decay and give those dirty niggers and spics something to do with their lives.

Why don't you fuckin' move then.
Oh wait, then you couldn't complain about how shitty your life is under this oppressive Marxist regime.


I live in Silicon Valley, so I'm insulated from the societal decay.

I hardly ever interact with people who aren't techies, so the only way I know that California's been turned into the dumbest state in the country is from the news.

I'm not sure if you get what he meant yet. He put forward a suggestion that iran had them killed intentionally for some unknown reason - they found themselves surplus to requirements, but found it convenient to put a western assassination spin on it. You seemed to initially think that he was claiming they were killing their much needed scientists just to harm the west's reputation.

So in his case, they weren't needed anymore. But in your case, it looked like you thought they were needed. This really has gone further than it needed. I just wanted to make sure you hadn't misunderstood him.

P.S. I know you're always vehement, but i think you're inappropriately vehement in this case. Look at it from my point of view, i'll try to parallel the situation as i see it;

You ask someone what time it is. He says 6 oclock. You think he said 7 oclock and go "It's clearly not 7 oclock cos it's broad daylight outside." I tell you that i think he actually said 6 oclock, at which point you turn to me and say "Umm well it's CLEARLY not 6 oclock either is it, einstein?"

Know what i mean? I didn't agree with his view or suggest a view at all, i just thought you misunderstood him, so a 3 point list with sarcasm on why it can't possibly be what i said either is inappropriate vehemence - it matters not to me what the answer is, merely that you understood the answer he gave you

I'm pretty hopeful this explains the situation clearly, because you're still trying to explain to me why he (and therefore myself by association) is wrong - i never expressed an opinion

In reply to this comment by GenjiKilpatrick:
You're pointing out that he didn't mean Iran assassinated its own scientist?

It doesn't matter the reason, it would still be dumb to murder the people that are leading their research.

If they were defectors, they could just hold them in prison indefinitely like they do journalist or spys or anyone else.

Anyway you slice it, the premise is lacking.

p.s. - I'm always vehement. It just comes up more on the sift.

It seems to me you made a mistake in your understanding of his post, and now you're adhering to it vehemently There's no point reacting at me, i'm just pointing out he didn't mean that.

It's a dumb solution if you enjoy being blind. The difference between the octopuses environment and ours is that water is good at filtering out UV rays and air is not. The blood vessels are in front of the retina to block out the UV light..if it were reversed you would be blind in a matter of days.

My point was: Why would Yahweh give his most perfect creations an imperfectly designed structure?

Especially when it's such an easy fix:
Membrane THEN photoreceptors = Perfect
Photoreceptors THEN membrane = dumb, more complicated solution.

Was the perfect eye still in research and development when Yahweh created Adam?

Just seems sorta silly that Yahweh would overlook such a simple mistake.

hehe thanks GK!

Coming from another sifter who frequently over-expresses himself, to the point of rudeness..

Yes, you most certainly are obligated to apologize.

Not just cause, @<a rel="nofollow" href="http://videosift.com/member/berticus" title="member since April 18th, 2007" class="profilelink">berticus is an awesome guy with good taste in music..
Not just cause, [i'm pretty sure] you could and would agree on lots of other topics..
Not just cause, you wanna help maintain the community and civil discussion/disagreement..

Do it.. cause, you're dumb.. and have bad opinions about cool/interesting videos.

["duhduh, regular rules don't apply to me cause.. cause.. I'm a wizard. And we.. have special wizard hats that make all the rules.. uh.. bounce off our special wizard capes and stick, stick only to you!"

"i'm a psychopath" ass nigga. wtf is wrong with you..]
