I am in pain at hokey artists/bloggers/whatever trying to sound profound!

Are you in pain at the sacrilege or at the use of the word "god" in any context?

"It's also meaningful that the old cement factory looks a lot like an old cathedral. Cement is the god/substance of the city. The city is all human. And a human is a god to a human."

Argh, the pain.

Yes, let's focus on how Rick Perry reacts for 2 seconds instead of listening to what Ron Paul is saying...

Oh God. You know I have been promoting Ron Paul this entire time on the Sift, but he isn't a feakin God. When someone else does right by God, I will point it out! I can do that, I have the right.
This is what @<a rel="nofollow" href="http://netrunner.videosift.com" title="member since August 5th, 2006" class="profilelink"><strong style="color:#0000CD">NetRunner was talking about. Personally, I think Perry did great. I still will vote for Paul since his views on Sept 11th seem more accurate to me, but it is the hiding of other's good that suppresses their good.
Why the fuck would I want to be good?


Did the embed change? They don't show Perry's reaction to the audience.

Thx, le fixed

What is wrong with you people? They were told to take him alive if they could. They fired instead of surrendering. This is what happens. This isn't the death of Freedom--this is a dumbass having a firefight with SEALs.

As for people complaining about other people glorying in his death:

Here is a video of a kid kicking a wall. It collapses on his leg. It's hard to see exactly what happens, but it's entirely feasible that it completely crushed it. In some cases the same people that are here crying about bin Laden's death were posting comments on that video whooping it up--yeah, that's what you *get* for committing petty vandalism! Permanent disfigurement and disability!

I wasn't out celebrating, but I can see how some people would be. The largest demonstrations sounded like they were in NYC and DC. Are any of you NYC residents? Were you in 2001? It'd be easy for me to sit here in the Midwest and go, "Meh, whatever, all he did was kill a few thousand people," but these people lived there. These were the people they knew. And this was the guy that killed them. And then hid for ten years. Threatening to kill more.

This site is practically based on schadenfreude. You relish others' embarrassment, pain, etc. etc. There are tons of videos where people are probably permanently injured or killed from falls, crashes, etc, and you all love it.

Actually, no, I don't love those videos. I can't watch them, much less smirk about them.

So it isn't "all of us."
