11 Years Later Robber Apologizes for Stick-Up

albrite30 says...

Being a former addict and alcoholic myself, I have made amends to countless people, sometimes monetarily and sometimes with just apologies. It is hard!! Every time I am face to face with someone I have harmed, I get all choked up and it's hard for me to talk. I give this video a heartfelt *quality

Highly Biased Child Protective Services Interview

That lady is under educated about what she is discussing with the father. Her lack of understanding about caloric intake is obvious. It seems like she is projecting her own obesity emotions on a 7 year old girl.

Runaway Truck Causes Brutal Crash. 22 Dead.

albrite30 says...

Here's the thing. What people are upset about is the fact that the video states "22 Dead" right in the title. Test yourselves out honestly. Would you have watched it if the video had a different title? Something like, "Terror on the Russian roadways! Don't go when the light is Green!!!" I don't know if anyone remembers really the faces of death/red asphalt videos, but there was no "evidence" of death (brains, blood, pools of liquid, dropped health packs...) here.

I actually agree with your point that vs's definition is off. There are vids which have been discarded that I would've been happy to stay.

My test, which I feel this vid failed: Without the deaths, does the video still have value? My downvote reflects the fact that I think this video doesn't belong here.

I think that the VS definition of snuff is off. "Snuff" is a video shot with the express purpose of viewing and enjoying the culmination of death. I don't enjoy watching videos with accidental death in them, but sometimes they provide a reality based cautionary tale within them. This video while reported as being full of fatalities, isn't snuff. It is horrible. It is real. But this was not a celebration of death.

You are absolutely right. So in order to correct my knighting. I would change my first name to Pentine and my last name to Fang. Then my name would be Sir Pentine Fang.

I believe it's your first name you'd need to change. Something Jon Lajoie doesn't seem to know...

Are you SYRIAs? (User Poll by albrite30)

albrite30 says...

I actually do support a limited engagement in Syria, supporting neither side but removing (explosively) the chemical weapon stores as well as their delivery systems.

Tactically, the only way to "safely" destroy chem weapon stockpiles is to bunker bust the facilities and follow it up with a massive incendiary strike.

The reason for doing this is complicated but not without purpose. A decisive strike will keep other authoritarian regimes with chem weapons from getting a green light on using them. In my opinion, if we do nothing, or not enough, the next gas attack on citizens will involve 10's of thousands of people and the horror will be palpable.

Thanks for your very educated response on the poll I created about Syria. Much appreciated.

The right answer is noninterventionism, in my opinion. And sanctions aren't diplomatic solutions. They are acts of war on a sovereign country, which usually results in starving its people, which creates resentment.

Here's some reasons why noninterventionism is so important. First, bombing campaigns usually create collateral damage, and the funny thing about people, they tend to hate you when you kill their moms or sons or wives or friends. For reference, please refer to 9/11 in the U.S.

Secondly, Syria is having a civil war. How'd the U.S. like it if Britain supported the Confederacy during its civil war?

Thirdly, supporting the rebels is essentially being al-Qaeda's air force. Yeah, remember those guys? The guys who flew planes into our buildings? I don't think we should support them.

Fourth, our sudden pious indignation is misplaced, and worse, selective. I didn't hear one person in the U.S. calling to bomb Israel when they used white phosphorous on Palestinian women and children.

Fifth, you know exactly what is really fueling the march into Syria. It's not a humanitarian intervention, it's about oil. Syria doesn't want to trade their oil in U.S. dollars. Neither does Iran. If we allow the U.S. to bomb Syria, we will soon be marching into Tehran.

Sixth, who made us world police?

Lastly, it's not like we couldn't be spending that money at home fixing our infrastructure and taking care of our people. I think feeding the homeless here is way more important than making people homeless in other countries from bomb campaigns.

I love Lajoie.
On another note, If I was ever Knighted somehow, I would change my last name to Pentine. That way my full title would be Sir Pentine. Slitherin for the win.
