Quantumushroom.... [s][e][c][r][e][t][s]

In reply to this comment by quantumushroom:
A fair question. I might ask the same of "you" versus Bush.



When the price of everything starts quadrupling (hyperinflation) but your income does not--thank Obama.

Bailouts that don't work? Chalk one up to Bush but the rest?--thank Obama.

High unemployment caused by heavy taxation?--thank Obama.

Bullshit "climate change" taxes to further wreck businesses--thank Obama.

DMV-quality rationed health care heading your way--thank Obama.

A war not only on Prosperity but on tobacco, fast food, gasoline and guns?--thank Obama.

A less safe nation brought about by displays of weakness and pathetic apologies for the US' very existence?

And on and on. Now mind you, I can't credit the communist-in-chief for all of it, there's the commies in congress too. And I'm not just picking on taxocrats, the elected repubicans are almost as bad in advancing tyranny, they're just moving slightly slower.


I'm glad you care enough you write. I mean that. I suspect I fulfill two needs for you.

1) I'm probably the only "voice" you encounter semi-regularly that doesn't agree with what you believe. Hollywood, schools and the state-run media are all saying the same thing, and they all agree with you. Haven't you ever wondered why the left claims to 'welcome all points of view" and then works hard to suppress those that don't agree with them?

2) I respond with better answers than some wingnut on a message board. I would prefer you at least understand what you're dissing, and what you stand to lose by furthering the cause of those who prefer tyranny to freedom.

So: keep it coming. Hopefully you'll have have some better questions.

BTW what do Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy and a black person who didn't vote for Obama because he's black have in common?




I really got her going didn't I... Well darling, here's what I have to say. No private posts, i have nothing to hide. You really want to fulfill a need for someone, eh? Sorry, you are inconsequential and amusing, now that I know you can't actually hurt anyone with your ideas. I did worry about that, but something told me you were just angry at being powerless. Now I know. Also, I suppress no one. I welcome facts, and facts alone, of which you have none. Ever.

As for your asinine points:

1.) I did nothing differently under Bush than I do now under Obama... except now I go to college and have hope I can serve in the civil service programs he will help create, instead of a perpetual job in the military. For about 8 years, I waited so I didn't have to come into contact with idiots like you more than I had to. Bush was elected one year before I could vote. I remember being in Kindergarten and seeing President Bush having us fight Iraq. Then I became of age and it happened again. And you talk about Obama fucking around? No wonder.. you weren't even aware of the first Iraq war, being a baby. Another point lost for you.

I just waited 8 years, and it was worth it. Not because of one man, but because of an army of people who could get away with directly affecting my life because their king was in power. Now Obama is here to help all people. Plus he speaks English. I wasn't afraid of bush; I just didnt have the energy to constantly slap flies away, because I was depressed and couldnt think of what I wanted to do with my life. All that changed with Obama being elected. Wierd. I can credit him with that, and blame him for nothing.

2.) I dont have a job (anymore). Im on financial aid and loans.. you know, numbers not cash. That's how it works. As long as I dont take the actual money, the numbers stay in the system. The system works quite well, and can only be improved. You can't put a price on knowledge, but... here we are. I can always skip the country and not pay back loans, but keep the knowledge. Win Win. I plan to do the right thing though, and use my computer science degree to help the world.

3.) Obama didn't make this mess. Bush and Cheney and crooked financial executives did. Directly. Including Bush's entire family, from Billy and Jeb to the Grand Poobah (although at least Sr. could speak english). It's like some sort of Bloodline succession right to rule thing for them. Sickening.

4.) If you dont have a job, go back to school. See above.

5.) I eat right and exercise, and any health care I need is readily available. Besides, all people die and I do not fear death. I will enjoy living while I'm alive. Big difference between me and you.

6.) I dont own a gun. I dont own a car. I ride my bike. See #4. Cigarettes are poison and should be outlawed until pot is legal.

7.) This is really easy now that I know you have a period once a month.

Only people who can't think for themselves should worry about what other people are doing. Most hard working people have too much to worry about to even turn on the nightly news. That's why I know you're a little girl, because if you were anyone else you wouldnt be so naive. Bush and Cheney did more to encourage terrorism than Al Queda. Fact.

9.) Making up cutsey poo nicknames for things in an attempt to agitate is something girls do.

It's too easy now. Don't worry, I cross posted those links about your lovely Jamaica Plains.. which i see you dont deny in the slightest, but remove.
davidraine says...

Whoa now. I'm not a fan of most of what qm says either but trying to dig out and expose personal information is out-of-bounds. Even though I feel he or she posts wild accusations without checking facts first (I've downvoted qm's comments for it more than once), he or she is still not directly going after other posters (to my knowledge). It also runs afoul of guideline 36.3 -- If disrespecting anonymity and cross-posting to unrelated videos isn't harassment I'm not sure what is.

vairetube says...

the only BS is the usual politician BS. and that's more like human BS in general.

QM says nothing different about Obama than he did before the elections, and none of it is true.

Name one thing that is true, or even fact based for that matter. One?

His name is Obama doesn't count.

He is a troll and its fair game to browbeat a troll. I don't actually think my info is correct, I just like the fact that it's about as logical as any of QM's arguments. Maybe he'll understand. Probably not.

A taste of his own medicine and quite amusing to me. Hilarious, in fact. I wouldnt worry about how QM feels.

Odd that he didnt just attack the sexist tone of my post, but rather hushed up.... and Googling "quantumushroom" and clicking the only thing on the first page that isnt videosift.. is hardly an effort. It's been real though. Hug QM for me.

enoch says...

eh.../shrugs..
QM plays a role,his/her (that just weirds me out,considering i picture QM as a realy fat mr T)choice to be adversarial and controversial in comments.
but get QM in PM and his/her (ARRRGH)arguments are much better thought out and concise.
i disagree with QM often,mainly on his/her (GDI) execution rather than substance,but im guessin QM REALLY stepped in your garden varietube.
just remember:choices have consequence,and while i enjoy verbal sparring (i know..shocker),outing someone's personal laundry list may be a bit much.
what if QM actually IS a young girl?all hormones and ideology?
i dont think i would feel all too proud for pounding him/her (oh WTF already)into a small pile of neo-con dust.
i actually enjoy QM's polarized opinions,deluded and wrong as they may be (that one was for you QM),but at least there is a voice saying something different.
how the FUCK can anybody create a stable and balanced ideology if everyone is all joined in one big circle jerk?
ideas,thoughts and views NEED to be challenged,otherwise we will get the very same stagnant,putrid waste that we had befor.....what?
oh crap....sighs..see?see?
we NEED QM..just as much as QM needs to be challenged,we too, desperately need to be challenged.
maybe thats what you are doing varietube...
challenging QM for a perceived over-stepping of bounds.
you may be righteous in your crusade,that is not for me to judge,just hope you know what your doing.
kinda fond of ya..knowhatimsaying?
namaste.

vairetube says...

Exactly.

No, he didnt step in anything... he's just some wack job. I used to work for a guy like him, going on about how Obama was a Muslim Terrorist, but it was worse that he was Muslim. Ignorance like he attempts to spread is dangerous to real people, but I was just seriously bored of homework and im not smoking right now.

Besides, QM uses his anonymity like an Iranian guard... it's because he knows he's wrong. Don't act like I'm trying to unmask an Iraqi interpreter. The point was to be ironic and show him how anyone can keep spouting something... and maybe he should see how he likes misinformation when its about him.

I never once thought he was a girl. I'm convinced it's a guy, because a girl would find something constructive to do.

Not having dissent present =/= lacking completeness. Maybe a good idea is a good idea. I prefer constructive variety not a broken record that never played right in the first place.

I had fun wasting QM's time as he furiously typed private replies. That makes anything from this point on well worth it to me.

I'll be the guy at Central Washington University wearing the Videosift shirt if it makes any of you feel better.

vairetube says...

I think punching someone in the dark is wrong. I think standing up for what i believe in is right. He hides because he doesnt really believe what he says.

Hardly a hunt when one is making it all up... right QM??

I do delight in thinking someone might think it's real in the future, though, and QM will have to spend time dissipating rumor... like he makes other people do.

kronosposeidon says...

Varietube, I've got nothing in the world against you, but this Sift talk is out of line. Even if you hadn't posted personal information about QM, this would still be out of line because basically it's just one giant personal attack. Now if he's guilty of breaking any rules then let one of us know so that we can seek a remedy. Is he flaming you with private messages? Are you flaming him back? If so, could either or both of you please stop? Otherwise one of us might have to hobble one or both of you until this is sorted out, and I don't want that to happen

I'm going to *discard this, because this has no place in Sift talk. Nothing personal, varietube.

vairetube says...

see, it's out of my hands now. I redacted all "offensive" info across the board. sorry kagenin! good times though. totally killed some time today.

It's good to see that people still go for the "ill defend your right to say it"... thats pretty cool.

blankfist says...

It's not like what you did was illegal or anything, vairetube, but it was certainly an encroachment of trust, I'd say. Let's do the right thing and kill this post. We all secretly love the persona of QM even if we disagree with him/her. The point is we love the persona. Let the persona be. Let it be.

>> ^NetRunner:
I think hunting down personal information about someone and posting it is out of bounds, no matter how irritable or misguided they are.


That's pretty hypocritical, coming from the VS community. We've had several instances with video of police brutality/power tripping where someone posted real personal details - full name, address, HOME phone numbers, email addresses etc. and I have never seen anybody objecting in any of those instances - the respective comments got handfuls of upvotes instead. And that was WAY, WAY beyond what vairetube did here, which was merely speculation about gender and approximate whereabouts and age ("Wow, people know I'm a 20-something male living in a city of several million - boy, I'm in trouble, they can find me so easily now!!!").

Also, it's the fucking internets, guys. Any personal info I put out there, especially as public profile info I realize CAN and MIGHT become public knowledge at any given time and nobody should harbor any illusions about that. Besides, it's not like a simple damn Google search for a username really constitutes "digging up personal info". Duh.

Personally, I think vairetube shouldn't have removed the 'info' on quantumushroom (which was probably false anyway, just like the rest of his/her usual array of 'facts') and that nobody should have discarded this even if it is a little pointless making a sift talk about it.


*edit
davidraine and NetRunner: please don't get me wrong - I am NOT saying you're hypocrites. I don't know what your reaction to the couple of cases I mentioned was. I only meant to say that the community has obviously reacted somewhat differently in a similar situation because the 'victim' is a member of the Sift.
