Dancing is provocative to begin with, the whole point of dancing is to attract the opposite sex.

*dead

I tolerate much more than you know-civility is returned when *exhibited-my values and tastes are never going to be the same as others, and that is ok-Not trying to change anybody, just keep them thinking....or in some folks cases, get them to thinking that what they think, May be deleterious to their souls....

Only one thing I trouble myself to overcome.....-non-confrontation and timely engagement-to ignore is incivility at it's petty worst.

I like the news too...it's a barometer I am able to access from time to time, to remind me that I may still be on a planet filled with the developmentally disabled (my charges, if you will, one of the many unreasonable situations the creator placed me here for whatever, fucking reason she decided to be on with that day) and the socially depraved. If I see an inordiante amount fo utter bullshit before I leave the bed, I deal with it, usually having myself to deal with when face meets face in bathroom mirror......OTHERWISE, I have dingleberries in the form of news-spamming half-wits on the video blog I have come to fancy, when I so feel that it is time for a dose of the real, to fuck with.

If this bothers another or other users, they can come to me with questions and may or may not like the answers, otherwise, fuck man.....what do you want from me, I have limited information and I am only one man,in a sea of editorializing half-wits....??!

I get that you don't like news. Other Sifters do- me included. If it really bugs you- I suggest using the channel filters to remove it from your view- rather than go after the Sifters who post news videos. Otherwise- if thine eye offend thee - pluck it out.

Cheers

Is NR spamming news bullshit for fun, passion, or motherfucking profit, and are dag and lucky in collusion??....happened before with fedwhip and he tucked-tail and ran once the jig was up.

You get checks from Maddow there NR? Or are you simply as delusional as they come?? Oh and, people who avoid confrontation?? Probably don't know how to use utensils properly and have piss-poor grooming habits as well. And what the fuck is up with that whiter than white Max Headroom rip-off....neat-o software!!??

Glen Beck is as much a diversion as Maddow-same team, different uniforms and spiel. Both designed to divide and conquer your slow-basted minds with meaningless drivel.

Why do you think i sent the goddamn Olbermann to the file 86?? Old news is no news, and new news is there to confuse. If we use the Videosift as a microcosmic barometer of the direction the world is headed, well, we can always hope for an asteroid to do the hard work for us lazy folks.

Nice vid wankers, you guys really put some work into that one....usete same model for your tee-virus, and offer selections in anything but white....and burn the program you guys use to make the designs...

hehhe, this is akin to someone's mother coming over to complain about their son's problems with your son...poor guy, it's the drunks who ignore ya and won't admit they have a problem-my problem is I see the cure to a psychological disorder and can;t get any customers..wheeeeeee!

I have know Idea what he was singing about.

edit
In the merry month of May, From my home I started,
Left the girls of Tuam, Nearly broken hearted,
Saluted father dear, Kissed my darlin' mother,
Drank a pint of beer, My grief and tears to smother,
Then off to reap the corn, And leave where I was born,
I cut a stout blackthorn, To banish ghost and goblin,
In a brand new pair of brogues, I rattled o'er the bogs,
And frightened all the dogs,On the rocky road to Dublin.

One, two, three, four five,
Hunt the hare and turn her
Down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin,
Whack-fol-lol-de-ra.

In Mullingar that night, I rested limbs so weary,
Started by daylight, Next mornin' light and airy,
Took a drop of the pure, To keep my heart from sinkin',
That's an Irishman's cure, Whene'er he's on for drinking.
To see the lasses smile, Laughing all the while,
At my curious style, 'Twould set your heart a-bubblin'.
They ax'd if I was hired, The wages I required,
Till I was almost tired, Of the rocky road to Dublin.

In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity,
To be so soon deprived, A view of that fine city.
Then I took a stroll, All among the quality,
My bundle it was stole, In a neat locality;
Something crossed my mind, Then I looked behind;
No bundle could I find, Upon my stick a wobblin'.
Enquirin' for the rogue, They said my Connacht brogue,
Wasn't much in vogue, On the rocky road to Dublin.

From there I got away, My spirits never failin'
Landed on the quay As the ship was sailin';
Captain at me roared, Said that no room had he,
When I jumped aboard, A cabin found for Paddy,
Down among the pigs I played some funny rigs,
Danced some hearty jigs, The water round me bubblin',
When off Holyhead, I wished myself was dead,
Or better far instead, On the rocky road to Dublin.

The boys of Liverpool, When we safely landed,
Called myself a fool; I could no longer stand it;
Blood began to boil, Temper I was losin',
Poor ould Erin's isle They began abusin',
"Hurrah my soul," sez I, My shillelagh I let fly;
Some Galway boys were by, Saw I was a hobble in,
Then with a loud hurray, They joined in the affray.
We quickly cleared the way, For the rocky road to Dublin.

Happy to be of service and that is a bittersweet little story, thanks for it

This is one the great songs of my childhood. Growing up, my sister and I had it a bit rough, but we always had our Irish folk songs tapes. She and I would act out all the verses to this song, and then do a little arm in arm jig during the chorus. When I picked up the guitar a few years ago, this was one of the first songs I learned. I can't believe someone Sifted it. You've made my weekend, sir.

You are quite welcome to interject yourself in the situation with rachel, since besides me and her, you are the most involved in that. I don't think you should do it with the other situation, since you both have no business doing it, and because you cannot have all the facts - even if I and all the rest of the people who were there retell it to the best of our knowledge, you won't have all the facts of that.

I blame it mostly on that incident and bea's lies (which they are) since it clearly culminated whatever had been brewing. What was brewing in the mean time between me and rae, which I was completely oblivious of, is both my own and rae's fault. I was just doing what I had always done for the last fucking year with her, which she seemed to have fun with until after texas (or some time before that, when she got all silent). We are both to blame for that part, me with my incessant messages (don't friends message each other much!?) and her with condoning it until she changed her mind and hated it.

"With all the things you admitted to doing"
1 thing - groping ivy. That's all I've admitted to about what happened in Texas and that is the extent of inappropriateness there were. I've apologized to ivy for it and, for me anyway, that part is over. I expect it to be a done deal for her as well. Nothing else happened while I was there. As I've explained, quite a few times now, the situation we were in did make it less of a big deal - it wasn't completely out of the blue, it wasn't malicious. It was just stupid. To say that "Truth is, you were lucky to escape Texas without any facial reconstruction being needed afterwards." is just bullshit. It's not like I fucking raped her. And again, you were not there, so you're not getting the full picture.

I don't want to drag you into this either, and I'm sorry that you've been dragged into it. But Rasch is not a good friend, he's a complete ass who can't keep his mouth shut and his nose out of other people's business. I feel sorry for you guys if you do consider him a friend.

I'm not just trying to "save face", I'm trying to get rasch to admit that he was in the wrong - maybe knock just a little bit of sense into the fucker. He was ENTIRELY in the wrong in that thread and I'm calling on his bullshit. If it had been rae herself that had posted that, or you perhaps, then I would have been even more baffled, but understanding - if she had posted that in a PM to me, then the entire thing would have gone quite a lot better for all involved.

From Rachel, I had expected at least some form of explanation for why she didn't want to talk. It came out of the blue for me, and since I did consider her a friend, it shocked me when she wrote the "want to get out of the bullshit" PM. I considered her a friend and I thought she did the same with me, so I think she at least owed me that - but as I've said to you privately, what I think I deserve and what others think I deserve are not necessarily the same, so if she didn't feel she owed me an explanation that was that. This was the sole purpose of my messages after she wrote that, because I'm not antagonistic and hate having people not like me, so I tried my damnedest to get her to talk to me, so I could at least walk away knowing what had happened.

I think rachel and I had a good talk on messenger after that whole thing blew up, but I still feel bad the way it turned out. Both for you, for rachel, for cari and for myself. I do not feel sorry for peggedbea and I certainly do not feel sorry for rasch.

In fact, rasch should go the way of the do-do and die out. He deserves all the scorn he gets. He is not "a man of his convictions" he's a witch-hunter, he didn't back you all up, he put himself in the fucking driver's seat and tried to run me over. He should be ashamed of himself far more than I should be ashamed of what I've ever done. When he leaves this site, and hopefully this earth, I will dance a merry jig.

Take care, Jake.

Would it be my place to put myself between "other people" when I DO know what was going on? I think so. Doesn't a "shorthanded dismissal" count as "telling you properly"? What more did you need? A five-page essay on why she wanted to stop talking to you? It's hilarious that you blame it all on one incident (accusing peggedbea of being a liar), when it was a culimination of things over time.

You know, with all the things you admitted to doing, which includes groping a married woman, I'd think you would be more humble about it. Truth is, you were lucky to escape Texas without any facial reconstruction being needed afterwards.

Watch what you say. I don't like being brought into this bullshit, but I hate to see a good friend like rasch being placed on the stakes - and when you drag up AC's name, I will inevitably follow. I've told you privately why I had problems with how you handled your "relationship" with Rachel, and I'd rather you not carry it on for the sole purpose of saving face.

In reply to this comment by gwiz665:
If you are referring to the way me and alien_concept talked to each other, that is none of your business. You don't understand the "relationship" we had - I only ever reciprocated all that talk, if she didn't want it anymore, she could have told me properly, instead of the shorthanded dismissal thing she sent me. It is not your place to put yourself between other people when you don't know what's going on; it's the same that happened with obsidianfire. Maybe you should burn out too, because your presence isn't welcome or appreciated anymore.

LOL, I didn't hear it the first time through, but its definitely there.
