Sure, Winston, sure....

Now tell us how George Wallace wasn't a racist, too.

Funny how insistent you are that there is no racism in the GOP.

Doth thou protest too much?

It's almost funny to read the horse-shit that you write, how you repeatedly try to tell us that something doesn't exist when we can all clearly see it with our own eyes.

Hey Winston,
Sorry a couple of points I was trying to make got a little muddled and mashed together in my last comment during editing before I rushed out to work. Including my math on 6x10.

What I told youabout my friends building a house and being off the grid is true. I know because they did it, and I've seen it. Their house is in Quebec, not some backhills somewhere. I've been there. They made me pizza.

Yeah, I'm sure that they're paying some interest on the loan they got to pay for it all up front, but they did it for less than $11,000. And fully installed by electricians. They're fully off the grid for electricity. They use a gas stove instead of electric, and they don't have a microwave, in order to cut down on power drain. But they have a fridge, lights, hot water, computers and everything else you would expect a family home to have.

I don't know where you got the rest of your figures. All I can tell you is what I've seen with my own eyes. And that the tomatoes on the pizza were grown in their vegetable garden, the pepperoni sausage came from the meat shop a 10 minute drive away, and it made for a memorable meal.

600 square feet of panels is two 6'x5' panels on a rooftop--that isn't very big.
Elementary geometry says you need TWENTY 6'x5' panels to get 600 sq feet. Regardless, the issue is not the surface area per se but the COST to cover that much surface area. Photovolt panels are expensive, highly inefficient, and use toxic elements. They need maintainance, replacing, repair, and have a lifecycle. Same with the VERY expensive batteries you need to buy.
And it doesn't cost $50,000 per household.
Many estimates put the installation of a fully functional solar powered home at well over $50K. 660 sq ft costs $10,853 just for the panels using the cheapest product I could find. Then there is wiring, connectors, inverters, batteries, mounts, control panels, and monitors... The backhills of Alberta may be different, but in the U.S. it is highly illegal to install your own electrical system... You're looking at thousands in licensing, regulatory, and labor. $10K? Not on this planet.
But let's say you're super lucky and manage to get the whole shebang installed for only $25K somehow. [...]

Much appreciated, my good man. Almost killed that video after getting no votes the first day.

This doesn't make any sense to me at all.

Choggie calls someone a monkey, then because of an "agreement with dag", he gets booted. Correct me if I'm wrong, but WE HAD A FUCKING POLL TO LET HIM BACK ON. That was not an agreement with any individual.

I'm getting pretty sick of the stupid double standards around here.

Dag: If you want to make the rules, then just make them, and be public about it. Don't pretend we have any say in anything by creating a meaningless poll.

I have Quantum and Winston both on ignore. I really really dislike their comments here, but I wouldn't think of banning them because of it (actually, I did want Winston kicked off since he's never once attempted to sift a video). But hell, just use the ignore function if you don't like someone.


And once again: Can someone explain to me why calling someone a monkey is so horrible?

I posted this on another thread, but maybe you just didn't see it, so I'd like to repost it, because I'd really like a response.

Winston, I really have to ask, what is your true goal on videosift?

In the past two years, you've voted up Three things, All of the comments you've written that are able to be seen are either of you bashing Obama, democrats, or Praising fox news..

Really, do you honestly -just- come on this website to argue and troll?

Yeah, your opinion is your own.. but you've never tried to even sift a video. Ever. All you truly ever seem to do is stir up a commotion..

Maybe you're a sock puppet so your main account doesn't get a bad rep.. or maybe you are just a troll, but I truly want to ask.. If you're not here for the videos, then why not just go to a forum somewhere?

For what it's worth:

The man later got a prosthetic face (an interesting story by itself, created by a man who had his own history working for the CIA): http://www.healthaire.co.nz/images/mark_tatum3.jpg

And apparently he did die of unknown causes: http://www.mold-help.org/content/view/544/

"Mr. Mark Tatum, also known by many as the man without a face, passed 4:00 CST Saturday, February 26, 2005 at the Medco Center of Franklin, Kentucky. Tatum lost his eyes, upper jaw, and nose to a fungal infection in 2000. This type of infection is not that unusual, but the extent of the damage that it did to Tatum was very rare. Tatum was a medical phenomena due to the fact that he survived the infection. Due to his extreme experience, Tatum was highly profiled in the media by many people including Larry King, Maury Povich, and Ripley's Believe it or Not. He was a courageous individual who served as a symbol of strength for the thousands of people who have lost their health, homes, and livliehood from fungal exposure.

According to a friend who spoke to him that day, Mr. Tatum was in good spirits and feeling very positive towards his future. He had just been fitted with a new prosthetic face (see below). He was extremely excited about helping victims of toxagenic mold exposure so he could uncover the real truth about fungus as a synonymous predator to the virus and bacteria.

At this point, the cause of his death is still unknown. An autopsy has been requested by his family. More information will be posted when we obtain the results.

Funeral services were held March 2, 2005 at Crafton Funeral Home. The Rev. Winston Roberts officiated with burial at Hillsdale Cemetery. Tatum was a native of Hopkinsville, Kentucky, and worked as a security guard until his fungal infection in 2000. He was the son of the late Franklin Eugene Tatum and Emma Thomas Tatum.

Donations in Mark Tatum's name will be gratefully accepted to assist the Children's Angel Fund:

Children's Angel Fund
P.O. Box 1026
Pepperell, MA 01463"

You can read more on the page. I will be sending along a donation for that fund soon. I was impressed by the strength and courage displayed by Mr. and Mrs. Tatum. I don't know if I would have had the same strength of will to keep fighting if I were in the same situation.

One more vote to send this to the front...

A special thanks to @burdturgler for the idea to make the title a viral commercial.

Yeah Winston I've been studying the History of the 20th Century for 5 years now. I don't know of many if any deaths by crazy left wingers in this country. But you're right about the fact that there are always some kooks that are on the fringes of movements. The Anti-War Vietnam movement had some, and so did the Civil Rights movement.

The thing is it should always be put into a context. These people are upset about a lot of things that are blatantly false. There isn't Millions of people dying and there isn't black people being beaten and hounded in the streets like animals. So in this context I don't think it adds up, this man is too crazy and there's a reason for it. I'd say it's more an issue with his mom and his psychiatrist though.
