I completely agree. Our priorities (as Lewis Black would say) are askew.

>> ^JiggaJonson:

quality
Who says America's economy is bad? In Somalia they do this shit for water.

Lewis Black is so much smarter than the majority of Californians, those who voted anti. He should be the primary policy maker for the state. The hell with democracy. And republicanism? Fageddaboutit.

>> ^Yogi:

Yep it is fucking stupid. Heads should roll.


It was a ballot initiative. So. . . the heads of the voters?

>> ^Retroboy:

Lewis is super and brilliant. But the problem is he's stutteringly energetically uncomfortable for normal people in this interview. 5:30 for an example.
Someone channel that energy and intelligence, please. This rather long soundbite does not serve, and I've seen him in other venues that showcase his capability, and it's damned good.


Fuck so called normal people.

Lucky for you Lewis Black is funny no matter what he's talking about.


Lucky for me? I didn't make the title, I only copied and shortened it from the orginal YT poster.... Please address your comment appropriately.

I do not mind a downvote, in fact I have been downvoted by many and am fine-as-peach-wine with those downvotes---but when they grow to "Oh, another downvote by, I wonder who? Oh, its Animals again, surprise surprise," I stop finding it amusing.

I was not even offended by you at first, and took many of your downvotes casually.


"Many?" Christ, more weasel language. You're blowing it out of proportion, no where were these FEW and SPREAD OUT OVER TIME downvotes anywhere indicative of anything but disagreement. Even if I downvoted you more, where do you get off deriving any sort of ill-intent from such a small sample? Unless there's a clear pattern of a downvoting spree/vendetta (of which you could have taken the time to take to any of the admins to verify before opening your stupid mouth and spouting more butthurt nonsense), kindly shut the fuck up you overly sensitive twat, and no I'm not literally calling you a gigantic, walking, talking and typing twat, just in case you're confused.

Claiming I'm the one being "touchy" is priceless, more projection from you who felt the need to start something ONCE AGAIN, by making mountains out of molehills, so everyone can see how unfairly you're being treated by big mean me.


Further, I only bolded "Every" because bold is a function on the sift and just like a "downvote," I think it should be used more often. Thanks for unintentionally pointing that out Animals! Learn to get over it please.

Are you thick? It's the choice of words in combination with the bold.

Addionally, I clearly stated that I was using hyperbole(I.E using hyperbole) when I was making the assertions about you "Downvoting ALL," my comments. That makes the statements satire, like the comedy Lewis Black uses... And since I stated they were blown outlandishly out of proportion, everyone knew they were intentionally ficticous. In short, I did not lie, nor did I insult you with a personal attack---I made a clear joke. Kind of like when you were joking (I assume) and called me an "impertinent, lying fuckstick." If you were not joking there, I am sorry I assumed you were; however, I would like you to prove that I am indeed a "fuckstick." And since fuckstick is a made up word, good luck with that.

Oh right. Here I was thinking from the pretty clear cut context that every thing else after your unambiguous statement of fact(that I downvote all your posts) was your intended "hyperbole", ie: I have a few theories... You must love to beat off to downvoting my comments... Or, as you sacrafice babies born to religious parents, with coat hangers through their eyes, you must be praying to the Atheist god of reason... No? Not there yet? Or perhaps I am a more understanding Atheist and that drives you to prove yourself?


Notice I didn't even bother mentioning the above because it was pretty clear what it was, verbal masturbation, not worth addressing.

But since you chose to preface the next paragraph with "All hyperbole aside..." you afford yourself an easy-out and are then able to disown the previous paragraph when and where you choose, depending on the response you get, despite the fact that it is clear as day what that hyperbole was. Disingenuous, I'd expect no less of you.

Even, for the sake of argument, I assume the entire thing was hyperbole per your lame technicality worthy of the most ineffectual kind of dishonest, sophist wanker, your next paragraph STILL shows that yes, you are still a petty liar. Right after you state, "All hyperbole aside...", which I assume would mean you now intend to be truly taken seriously, you then proceed to lie (once again)about so-called statements I've made while displaying astounding levels of hypocrisy:

What I find funny Animals, is that your opinion (Blame religion for every human woe in the world,) is dying here on the sift. Why? Because it is extreme and holds no place in reason. Grow up and stop being the 13 year old you are acting like. I promise to do the same in kind. Because, just stooping to your level makes me feel dirty.

First, you assert that I've ever said such a thing AND that this has been the general sentiment of the Sift but is now dying (in thanks, perhaps you assume, to your fine efforts?). Both aren't true and are thus straw-men you use in an attempt to make yourself appear so gosh darned mature and civil, all the while showing traits of someone who wishes to project his own inadequacies onto someone else. In my opinion, you've stooped far lower than your imagined, dishonest staw man version of me and my views. Pots and kettles and all that...

The rest of your "response" can pretty much be summed up as "I'm rubber, you're glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you!" You know what slang is, you're being a facetious ass.

Lying "holds no place in reason", you big fucking hypocrite.

Threats aside (I find them amusing) it seems, with your diatribe, that you took far more offense to my comments than I to your downvote

Threats? Is this more of the same from you (see: lies)? Because only a crazy person would find something that isn't there amusing. And yes, I take offense at people who pathologically lie more than I or anyone else would a downvote. What is so odd about that? Seems pretty morally consistent to me, but then again, I'm not fucking insane. This asinine observation of yours speaks volumes of your attitude towards honesty.

Lawdeedaw out.

No comment.

>> ^Lawdeedaw:
Well, seems AnimalsForCrackers once again downvotes my comments for what? Not sure. But since you downvote every comment I make, I have a few theories... You must love to beat off to downvoting my comments... Or, as you sacrafice babies born to religious parents, with coat hangers through their eyes, you must be praying to the Atheist god of reason... No? Not there yet? Or perhaps I am a more understanding Atheist and that drives you to prove yourself?

You impertinent, lying fuckstick. I downvoted because I disagreed with your use of post-modernist relativism and the whole freedom = bad mantra, I don't need to give a fucking explanation to downvote someone I disagree with. Downvotes must really piss you the fuck off to elicit such a response. "Wah wah! I was downvoted! I do declare I might be coming down with a case of the vapors!" They are a part of the site, and should be used more than they are when expressing disapproval of a comment, in my opinion. Learn to get over it, everyone else does.
What I don't see others doing is calling someone out for an individual downvote and then claiming the downvoter is the one who is acting like a child while lying and strawmanning in an attempt to prove it. Project on, my friend, project on! <IMG class=smiley src="http://static1.videosift.com/cdm/emoticon/teeth.gif">
"Blame religion for every human woe"? I cannot even think of one person who wasn't a flyby troll who has done that here, let alone myself! Nice picture of the Sift that you're painting for us all. "Downvote your every [BOLDED FOR EMPHASIS, yours, mind you] comment"? Well then, if you went out of your way to bold that one word then it must mean you are like really super duper serious! Make a Sift Talk, thems grounds for bannination, we've seen many come and go for that offense. Unfortunately you are a liar, and this is easy for anyone to verify. If you could kindly quote where I have said that or show that I have downvoted anywhere approaching ALL(a few comments = all in Lawdeedaw world) of yours comments, that'd be great. Please get back to me on that, okay, cupcake? <IMG class=smiley src="http://static1.videosift.com/cdm/emoticon/wink.gif">
Have any more words to put into my mouth? Fuck off with your dishonesty.


Touchy.

Your opinions are valid about revisionism, even if you can never prove them. They are yours, so keep them and try to explain them. I simply would rather have a debate of reason, something none can do while calling each other names, than a click of a down-arrow and you occasionally saying somehting like, "You are wrong Law, you take the pussy way out and do not blame religion at all."

I do not mind a downvote, in fact I have been downvoted by many and am fine-as-peach-wine with those downvotes---but when they grow to "Oh, another downvote by, I wonder who? Oh, its Animals again, surprise surprise," I stop finding it amusing.

Oh, and I clearly stated that blaming religion for every woe was a dying horse on the Sift. I congradulated and congradulate the entire Sift again.

Addionally, I clearly stated that I was using hyperbole(I.E using hyperbole) when I was making the assertions about you "Downvoting ALL," my comments. That makes the statements satire, like the comedy Lewis Black uses... And since I stated they were blown outlandishly out of proportion, everyone knew they were intentionally ficticous.

If you were not joking there, I am sorry I assumed you were; however, I would like you to prove that I am indeed a "fuckstick." And since fuckstick is a made up word, good luck with that.

Also, since we are speaking of Sift Talk and being 100% accurate, prove to me where I am actually a "cupcake" as you stated. The definition of cupcake follows;
"1. a small cake, the size of an individual portion, baked in a cup-shaped mold.
2. Older Slang .
a. a sexually attractive young woman.
b. a beloved girl or woman." (Dictionary Reference)

This is, by definition, the equivilent of calling me a transvestite (Although there is nothing wrong with being a transvesite, I am not a transvestite,) and I would like veryfiable evidence that I am indeed a woman in a man's body. Either that, or you were calling me a food product, which I doubt I am.

After all, since we want to be 100% correct in ALL statements, get back with me on that. Either that, or you lied, and never made it clear you were joking. Which makes them lies.

Threats aside (I find them amusing) it seems, with your diatribe, that you took far more offense to my comments than I to your downvote. Because I am so offense, I am stopping here. Lawdeedaw out.

Lewis Black - Always funny

>> ^Mcboinkens:

Language ruined it. We get it, youryou're pissed, just like everyone else. Using language with that kind of an annoying voice is just frustrating. Also, if the media got this right(they probably didn't), didn't BP hire a lot of local workers to help drop booms? If so, that may answer part of why the booming blows.


Might I point out that your first comment had one of the biggest grammar mistakes in the English language? I do it too, and I regret making a grammatical error every time; it stings a little.

Aside from that the video reached me just fine, although it could use more diagrams. Also, if BP did hire a bunch of local people to do booming, those people are still part of BP even if they are contracted. I doubt the locals would be put in charge; unless they had excellent knowledge of how to boom. However, if the data shown to us in the video is true it is clear that BP needs to attend booming school; but too little and too late.

I like Lewis Black, but he's wrong about Jesus - I'm pretty sure Jesus invented the 'trickle-down' theory.
