FYI: this video has a note that it's private and can't be viewed by most sifters


I think it's just a sign that to talk to women, we should show them private videos.

Not sure. I found a couple contemporaneous comments back and forth between him and @dag before he disappeared, but they seem to have vanished. (Seriously @dag, if that's not true, please tell me.) He'd been mildly trolling MFers for a while, but nothing really awful unless it was private. There was also a killed video that I didn't really understand, but I think it was some kind of asshat retaliation. Other than that, there wasn't really much. I've seen other banned members held before multiple tribunals before being exonerated for a whole lot more. Btw, there were a LOT of members I wanted to invoke in that post for being the reasons I joined, like you, like @Sarzy, like @Eklek, @Fletch, @jwray, @lucky760, @spoco2, @gwiz665, @mintbbb, @gorgonheap, @Issykitty, @JAPR, @ant, @videosiftbannedme, @Trancecoach, and on and on and on. We used to create the quality here; now, it seems, we're subject to it. It'd be nice to live up to our reputation.

Yeah, what exactly happened there??

Hey, buddy. I don't know whether you'll be checking your profile much now that you've been sent on the CircleLine cruise, but I wanted to tell you that I for one am rather disgusted by the way this played out.

Lol fail.

Pornography is ultimately deconstructive to healthy relationships. Just about any marriage councilor will confirm this. It degrades those involved with it. Some may disagree with it that but everyone should remember the sick feeling that accompanys the first few time one sees pornography. That's , in my opinion, a God given instinct to turn away from the filth.
Yes porn is attractive, especially to the male psyche. But it's incredibly damaging to ones relationships and how they view members of the opposite sex.

atheism doesn't require critical thought. In fact it requires no thought at all. I don't see why Dawkins takes so much time to try and defeat religion. If he doesn't believe in God then why try to prove that there isn't one? In fact Dawkins has yet to even begin to disprove that there is no God. His observations are based on examples of human error and a narrow line of scientific reasoning. He leaves too much out of his arguments to persuade anyone who has more then very limited experience and knowledge.


Are you saying that belief in a god requires critical thought? Concluding that something exists despite a lack of evidence to support that conclusion is critical thinking? Accepting without question ideas formed by others ~2000 years ago, passed on and on and on is critical thought?

Atheists are generally not brought up that way; they're the product of years of critical thought -- thought which is guilt-inducing and contrary and to what they're told in an overwhelming atmosphere of religious indoctrination from early childhood. Many, including myself, went to Sunday School just like you may have and were told there's a god before they had a choice to conclude that for themselves. Religion currently enjoys that perk.

Atheists have generally had to deprogram former beliefs to form conclusions, based on evidence or the lack of it: (evidence(or lack of)-->thought-->conclusion VS. statement-->reward/threat-->conclusion/belief)

Dawkins "takes so much time to try and defeat religion" because religion a majority view -- not because it makes so much sense-- but because it doesn't. Turn your question around: Why do those who espouse belief in a god "take so much time" to push that idea? Why is that "good" but a contrary view like Dawkins' is "bad"? Think critically.

I think we need @Edeot and @gorgonheap to weigh in on this.

crap. I wanted to take over the *geek channel even before I got to 250, but I just couldn't ask this of you, gorgonheap To be fair though, demonix is probably the best choice of new ownership I can imagine. Now, I guess I will either be taking over WTF or creating MEDICAL/HEALTH, whenever I have the time to get back to good-ol' siftin'.

Gorgonheap! *Quality Sifter!

gorgonheap cannot be banned because star accounts are immune to banination - ignoring ban request by blankfist.

Yay. Officially geek now

Thanks gorgonheap. I'll take good care of it, promise.
