AWWWWWWW HEY NOW, COME ON GUY, AWWWWWWWWWWWWW. yea. I know. I messed up, let's all jump on the bandwagon

Awwwwwww, those precious moments that make you go "Holy Shit!"

I fucking love 'em.

This morning I was awakened for the first time by my younger son climbing on top of me and laying his head on my chest. (I cried.)

Awwwwwww

Your power is still out after all this time?? Forget what I said yesterday about it being fun...finding your way around by candlelight would get really annoying after a couple of hours.

My pleasure!! I thought it would speak to your inner attention whore. It is nice to be able to personalize your profile and stand out a bit. Haha, yeah, I can relate to the "invalid" color selections, and did you notice that they look a lot different when choosing them than how they display on your profile? It takes a bit to get the colors just right. Most of all though, I was hoping it would entice you to post more videos, and now that I have your oath, you can't back down. By the way, did you know that you can currently post 6 videos at a time? You can rule the sift with all those slots.

You didn't post that Aubrey Plaza one!!! What were you thinking?? If in doubt, post it. That's my motto. You can always *kill or *discard it later if it doesn't seem popular or if you change your mind about it.

Flying Spaghetti Monster! Ha! I was leaning towards that one. I was almost even thinking about betting those 2 shillings you gave me on that guess, but in case I was wrong, I didn't want to part with them. But do I really want to be touched by his noodly appendages? Hmmm...

Awwwwwww mannnnnnn, this video is blocked in Canada too!! This is one of the most awesome songs of all time though and I even have this one already so all I need to do is *add to playlist*. Queen is one of my all-time favorite bands and Bohemian Rhapsody is my favorite of their songs. I also really like "We Will Rock You", "Under Pressure" and "Somebody to Love". I'm on youtube now listening to all 4 of those Queen songs.

Seeing as I'm listening to them...I might as well attach them and spam your pretty profile page.

Dang, nature, you sc--D'AWWWWWWW....

AWWWWWWW GOD DAMNIT ! !

YOU ! above everyone else thinks I am a piece of shit ?

I am sorry. Sorry world. I cant take that kind of rejection.

I am done.

Awwwwwww

woo! thanks!

The scary part happens when Republican presidents get the media to systematically silence dissent...

The only ‘silencing of dissent’ is on the left side of the aisle. And how nice it all sounds… ‘Net Neutrality’, the ‘Fairness Doctrine’, ‘Political Correctness’, ‘Academic Fairness’… The left is the side that engages in the systematic suppression of dissent – not the right. I have a longer memory span than 5 minutes, and there is nothing BUT ‘dissent’ when the GOP is in the White House. Dissent was ‘patriotic’ during Bush, but now is ‘the party of NO’ during Obama, right? But of course good little left-wing zombies have no problem with that.

If I break something of yours, do you have to 100% go through the courts to get compensation? No. Why? Because civil court is totally optional.

If you break my stuff (and refuse to pay for it) then YES I 100% have to go through the courts to get compensation. You’ve proven my point. I don’t go to Obama’s pay czar. Court is where I go, and failing that, I call my congressman and let him know the courts aren't doing their job. I do NOT go to the Executive branch except to write a whiny letter.

I have not been programmed to have a knee-jerk Pavlovian response where I wet myself with fear whenever the word "government" comes into play.

This is patently untrue. You do have a knee-jerk Pavlovian response to wet yourself with fear whenever the word ‘government’ comes into play and ‘conservative’ is involved. The blind, unthinking, slavish trust only applies when a left wing radical is in charge. I believe it was Lenin (another leftist) who called these kinds of fanbois “useful idiots”. People who aren’t critical of government at all times and in all things are fools. The price of freedom is vigilance, and the only good government is LIMITED government.

I'm sure there will be Congressional oversight of this

Oh – well – that ignores history, facts, and precedent - but as long as you're SURE... You aren’t picking up what I’m putting down. I don’t care if Obama is distilled perfection made of unicorn hairs and angel feathers… It doesn’t matter if BP ‘volunteers’ (yeah right – then why the closed door meeting?). This is not something the Executive branch is allowed to do for ANY reason. Ever. Period. It has no authority to do this, and government isn’t allowed to just ‘assume’ authority over whatever they want no matter how munificent they may think they are.

Ahh, so now you're defining down what constitutes a legitimate claim from what even BP says is legitimate? Good to know you don't want to "let them off the hook"...

No – I’m defining ‘responsible’. BP isn’t responsible for lost business. Tourism down? Is that BP’s fault? Maybe partly. But you can also blame the media, the government, the economy, and a whole host of other parties for that. BP is responsible for damage and cleanup. That's it. I see no need for them to pay for ancillary issues that may or may not be related.

Everyone is answerable.

To who? When? You say ‘answerable’ but one of the main problems with federal government is that NO ONE is ever held responsible for anything. They never go to jail for breaking the law. They never pay damages for the consequences of their bad politics. So they ‘lose an election’? Awwwwwww – how terrible for them. They still keep getting money & payola. They still get political back-patting. They still get put on unaccountable ‘blue ribbon’ panels for exorbitant payoffs. They keep getting on TV shows and money for speeches, commentary and books. They still are put on cabinet positions, or other unelected unaccountable political jobs where they still effect policy and get away with murder.

See, when you really get down to the brass tacks the political class is in NO WAY ever ‘answerable’ for their bad behavior and terrible decisions. They just get a brief – all too toothless – wet noodling and then skate off clean while everyone else has to pay for them to keep on partying. Clinton. Impeached for lying under oath and obstructing justice. Did he lose his office? No. Did he go to jail? No. Did he have to pay millions in damages? No. He got a tiny slap on the wrist and then the left circled the wagons around him and set him up for life so he’d specifically NEVER have to be truly culpable for his high crime. He should be in jail, or living in a cardboard shack, penniless and shunned to the end of his days. Instead he’s living high on the hog courtesy of constant political payola. And you call that ‘answerable’?

So what happens WHEN (not IF) Obama’s pay czar starts mis-handling the BP funds? Exactly HOW is he going to be ‘answerable’? To whom will he pay millions in damages? What jail will he go to? How will he be banned from politics for life afterwards? And how is Obama ‘answerable’ for unconstitutionally claiming money in the first place? But I don’t hear anyone making him ‘answerable’ for his unconstitutional, illegal act. All I see are left-wing zombies defending the illegal, and GOP cowards who don't have to guts to stand up for the constitution anymore.

Ethics is just the morals of smart people.

Awwwwwww, it's the ping pong invitation that won the upvote, fo reals =)

Hey, I was higher than taxes when I came up with that suggestion-
For me, it's a "quality" definition issue. Seems to me, more sift-talk posts get quality invocations than do videos-Promotes are also a personal preference, based on the value/quality to the person handing out points-i.e., personal preference.

Here in the FAQ sheet it states-"Please do not down vote a video because you dislike the Sifter who submitted it; this is entirely unacceptable. Instead, vote solely based on the quality of video content."

I have seen sift folks hand out a shit load of "quality" invocations because they LIKE the sifter-I have also seen good content not receive votes because they DISLIKE the sifter.

What of the videos that are repeatedly promoted because people dig em, or for the effect it has in the thread, etc.?? This kind of activity keeps the place dynamic and interesting, innit?? Kinna makes the original submitter get a warm feeling inside, huh?? Awwwwwww!


*drifting off-topic>>>> When I down vote most of the news bites I see, it's not because I dislike the sifter-I dislike their contributions to the place, as well as the banter that follows, because I maintain that network news is poisonous disinformation and diversion. Period. Also hate most videos of farting or self-mutilation.

(I do like the cat fart video now since I figured out how to do something better and faster in future... don't like the submitter because his grungyness refuses to do anything but ignore, which is fine, keep up the good work, and stick to your principles!>Love your politics by the way, moving closer to all-out anarchy, which we don't welcome but are capable of dealing with)

So, in not-voting for a video because of who sifted it, is not a user simply "down-voting" it and the user? I have always maintained as well, that the lop-sided down-to-up number of votes overall is a problem. When a down vote shows up on someone's post (be honest with yourselves) it is often taken as a personal attack, or confused with some animosity or personal grudge, or in ant's case, misconstrued as some non-linear freakout!! It's simply a thumbs down for whatever reason or a thumbs up for who gives a rat's ass-want more status or points, post more viddies!!

I share the gnawing idea that something should be done to further codify these 2 invocations only because they are too similar in effect and sentiment, cost the same price(do they??), and perform similar functions. Maybe hand out more points and/or more often, rewards for deadpool fixes-and add a means of obtaining power points for cleaning up the dead/removed/copyright etc. videos-1 point for 25 "dead" invocations??...and make it retroactive considering I didded about 1000 Olberman vids last week??!! WOOOOOF!

Awwwwwww..... is for awkward.
