Guy films juvenile kestrel in the backyard when suddenly...

shang says...

the thrill of the hunt. It's fun, not only does it provide food, it's exhilarating. Stalking the target is the most fun style of hunting large game, as you have to stay down wind, stay quiet, and get close enough for a good shot.

it is "getting off" so to speak. The adrenaline is pumping, it even has a name you can google "Buck Fever" every hunter gets it. "Buck Fever" causes a lot of missed shots, the heart races, adrenaline pumps and you wind up missing or spooking them. But hunting is a ton of fun, if it weren't my kids wouldn't even be interested in it either. Not only does it provide cheap and plentiful food for family, which otherwise I would probably need food stamps to afford meat for family of 4, it's also fun, entertaining, and constantly trying to get better.

Similar to how fps gamers get addicted to keep getting better scores and "kill streaks" same for hunting, I hate missing a flock of quail, I love when we flush a flock of 5 or 6 quail and we can get them all, which rarely happens, usually 2 or 3 are dropped until next flush.

if hunting was not fun, there would be no point, just buy from store...
but it serves a purpose and it's fun as hell.

If an animal is killed humanely for the sole purpose of providing food, I am not opposed to hunting. It's when I hear about people "getting off" on the kill that makes me question their motives. What is so thrilling about causing an animal to experience pain and ending a life?

not really, I don't like my meat processed and chemically treated. I hunt deer, squirrel, rabbit, I grow and hunt quail, ducks, geese, chickens, I also hunt alligator since it's open season year around here due to overpopulation.

I have a chest freezer in the utility room with Elk, Mule Deer, Venison, Lamb as I can. We save thousands of dollars a year on meat since I hunt and have taught my son and daughter to hunt. My daughter is 13 and has already killed her first deer last season. I've also taught them how to skin and clean from fish, fowl and large game, although they usually just watch and clean the buckets for the large game for now, they happily help me skin squirrels, rabbits, bullfrogs for frog legs, etc. It's just how we live and keep grocery prices really cheap, since I usually barter gator tail/venison at the farmers market for most fresh vegetables.

Weapons of choice, .308 / 30-30 / 12 gauge - my daughter and son primarily use 20 gauge as it has little to no kick and great spread for shooting fowl.

Why Violent Video Games Don't Cause Violence | Today's Topic

chingalera says...

Be damn the violence, future serial killers of America unite, be it Doom or Civilization, GTA or Mario Cart, what of the retarded social and motor skills created in 2 generations of peepatrons? I have noticed a direct correlation between lack of Vitamin D in the form of limited exposure to sunlight and Cheetos-stained crisp finger, as well as a general lack of interest in the vagina or practical skills and video-gaming, so please, "let them legalize homicide and debut this thrilling and encouraging youth-sensation, our hope-for-the-future, an exciting new video first-person-atrophizer and herding platform, Couch-Killers"!!

I noticed you were on here again just 2 hours ago...that would be 4:30am in Gothenburg. You're becoming a true videosift addict.

P.S. I am thrilled to see that you have a second top 15 video now.

Procrastinatron said:

Glad you liked it!

Oh, and I'm in Gothenburg, Sweden. It's about 01:00 at night here, so I suppose it is undeniably getting a bit late here.

And that bit about checking out the recent comments is interesting - I hadn't thought to do that myself. I suppose I'll have to make a habit of it as well!

And in case we don't talk again tonight - good night, sleep tight, and as always, I have greatly enjoyed talking to you!

NSA (PRISM) Whistleblower Edward Snowden w/ Glenn Greenwald

dystopianfuturetoday says...

(continued conversation from http://videosift.com/video/Democracy-Now-A-Massive-Surveillance-State-Exposed. Feel free to join in.)

@enoch - Specifically, what new power has the government gained here? (this is not a rhetorical question)

I'm with you on torture, warrantless wiretaps, illegal wars, assassinations (in general, thought I think Al Alakwi was justified considering the body count he had racked up), persecution of whistleblowers, persecution of journalists

The current NSA scandal encompasses none of these things. If they want to record your phone calls, they need a warrant. They didn't under Bush - but they do now - and PRISM can't go after your internet data at all.

Even if they did want to grab everyones' information, can you see how difficult it would be to pull off? How many phone calls are made in a day? (millions?) How many warrants would it take to get access to all those calls? How many man hours would it take to record and listen to all those calls? Even if the NSA were full of villainous mustache twirlers, doesn't that seem like a futile task? 99.9999% of the information would be useless.

I believe that the NSA genuinely works to stop terror attacks. I know there has been much bullshit done in the name of the "war on terror", but I believe there is a genuine need for an Agency that deals with National Security. I would imagine most countries have some kind of similar body.

I don't have a problem with information gained through search warrants. My major complaint is that this stuff is not better explained to the public. I know that there is plenty of specific information that needs to be kept secret in order to not blow the cover of agents who are wiretapping suspects, but I think the broad strokes should be put out there. Here's what we are doing. Here's why. Here are the problems we've had. Here are the successes we've had. How are we doing? How can we improve this?

I also think there would be far less need to monitor if drugs were legalized and the war on terror ended.

Anyway, I think this kind of surveillance is going to become status quo, will not be overly problematic and will be completely uncontroversial in a few decades. As far as abuse goes, you don't need any of these high tech contraptions to listen to people's phone calls and track internet usage. These things can be done fairly easily with comparatively primitive tech that can be bought legally at spy stores.

http://www.spy.th.com/audiocat.html

@criticalthud I don't disagree with what you say. My point is that judge approved wiretaps and internet surveillance should be a legal part of the law enforcement/National Security arsenal. How to do it best is beyond me. I think warrants and constitutional protections are decent checks and balances, but I know they are not infallible. As I mentioned to enoch, if someone wants to listen to your calls, be that person a high ranking government agent or your grumpy neighbor, it can be done easily with low tech. Killing these guidelines would do nothing to protect you from a rogue agent or personal vendetta.

If all this leads to a real discussion on the war on terror or the war on drugs, I'd be thrilled. My prediction is that it will just be used as a politicians electoral bludgeoning device until everyone gets sick of hearing about it and it slides off the radar screen.

Mieders Alpine Coaster - Frustrated Guy Crashes

chingalera says...

Nah see, mindless tourists on their first-go aren't expected to master the thing on a one-time downhill-The guy with the cam has done it a few times perhaps, if not, he's definitely douche.

The girl is visibly distraught and shaken after that whiplash (which can seriously mess someones life up, much less a holiday) and the only saving grace for the douche when he came to stop was to jump out and inquire as to her condition, and that with sincere apologies...You gotta understand, choggie has this particularly sensitive douchebag meter that stays calibrated, with updates to software daily-I only had to watch this once-Upvoted for the thrill of a new experience to write down on the bucket-list, not the cunt filming himself douching-out.

Rape Joke Debate

bareboards2 says...

@Shepppard, could you take the time to read my post about murder jokes rather than rape jokes? See if that doesn't scare you like (some) rape jokes do most women.

And why are women scared about rape jokes like Tosh's?

Because we life in a society that doesn't recognize that there are loads of uncaught and unconvicted kiiling-for-thrill murderers, and the very real danger is not recognized NOR fought back against.

There is nothing wrong with a rape joke in a world where there is no fear of rape. There is no fear of Hitler. There is no fear of piles of dead babies. And men age 17-25 pay much higher insurance rates than anyone else -- and not because they are great drivers.

And until you get that distinction, then this is a parallel discussion. You can go on and on about freedom of speech, that no one is disagreeing with. And others will continue to try to get you to understand that there is something wrong in our society and until it is faced and addressed, the problem will never be solved.

It isn't about banning rape jokes. It is about understanding how the bloody hell you can think certain rape jokes are funny. Because in my murder scenario, I guarantee you, if you were the person singled out by that hypothetical comic, you would NOT be laughing.

Trampoline + multiple Flips = Basketball Trick Brilliance

AeroMechanical says...

I dunno about the netting all around trampolines recently. Part of the thrill is knowing that you could fly off the thing in a most indignified way and hurt yourself pretty bad (if you're a grown up, kids just bounce right back up). I do approve of the padding they put over the sprints though. I have a lot of unpleasant memories of sitting on trampoline springs in my shorts while someone else was jumping.

Star Trek Into Darkness - International Trailer

VoodooV says...

Dunno why people are pissed. JJ has always been about the good popcorn flick thrill ride.

When I first heard about the reboot, I was disgusted, but I cannot deny that the first movie was good etertainment (cept for the ending though)

Firing bazookas at an illegal Cambodian shooting range

Fletch says...

I don't think it's "grotesque". Poverty is rampant and you are giving them money for the cheap thrill of shooting ammo that they have in abundance. You aren't shooting people. The "cow for $300" thing was kind of disturbing, though.

2013 Ferrari La Ferrari Promo

braschlosan says...

If you want to see another cool Hybrid look here
http://www.autoblog.com/2013/03/05/subaru-viziv-concept-geneva-2013/
The Subaru Viziv runs a diesel through a CVT to drive the front wheels and a separate electric setup to drive each rear wheel so Its still AWD with variable torque all over.

" By independently controlling the drive power applied to the left and right rear wheels, the rear drive system provides more torque to the outside rear wheel and less to the inside rear wheel when cornering to generate inner-directed yaw momentum on the vehicle and achieve extremely quick and smooth "on-the-rail cornering". Besides helping acceleration and all-terrain performance, this groundbreaking AWD system also uses drive power to help turn the vehicle. Along with its thrilling handling and cornering that responds faithfully to driver operations, it also offers outstanding handling stability that ensures a high level of secure feeling and confident drive."
