He is clearly a determent to the website and everyone surrounding it.


LET'S SACRIFICE HIM TO OUR GOD!!

LOL at Joe Biden. I bet Obama is wishing he would have picked a different VP. They have to do damage control every time he opens his mouth.

No more pqueue for you

This works well for me as I've been on sabbatical. I'm not sure when I'll be back but it's only fair that I'm awarded the same as if I contributed the same as say.. kronosposeidon. I have to visit many other websites just to make ends meet you know. We weren't all born with a 500 diamond in our mouth like Dag.

*Eyes KP's crown with hatred and envy.

^It seems as if you are condemning what you don't understand. Why exactly is selfishness bad?
selfishness is refusing to sacrifice a higher value for a lower value.
selflessness is a sacrificing higher value for a lower value.
I can't see any reason to support the latter, aside from mental illness or low self esteem. You give your cake to others because you value them having the cake more than you value having the cake for yourself - that is selfishness, and its neither bad nor incompatible with sharing. Selfishness is sharing, its just the method in which you internally select who to share with, and how much.
You don't give all your money to strangers on the street do you? Why, because you're "selfish" and only spend it on those you care about?


Couldn't have said it better myself.

Even the most seemingly "selfless" things are really selfish IMO.

If there is a situation when someone must "sacrifice" the chances of it happening for someone they don't know drops dramatically especially if not allowed to consider how they'll be perceived by others. When you have time to think about how you'll be perceived for your kind act you may be more willing to sacrifice. This is selfish.

A soldier falling on a grenade is a selfish act. Would a soldier fall on a grenade if he hated or just didn't share a bond with the soldiers near him or thought that no one would appreciate his sacrifice after the fact? This is selfish.

^What is simple fairness? You seem to be suggesting that the cake should be given away, but how do you decide to whom and how much?


The government will seize your cake and a government czar will be appointed by the President to oversee the process of dividing it among the people. The czar will then form a committee to decide how to go about dividing the cake. The committee will then ask for bids to give the appearance of competition, but somehow the czar's brother-in-law who happens to be a certified CD (cake divider) is the only one qualified and his bid comes in under everyone else (of course). Before the cake is divided it needs to go through an economic and environmental impact study which will determine it unfit for the public because it is linked to diabetes and obesity. Government officials are above all this of course so they split the cake between themselves.

Asshole indeed. Why isn't being comfortably rich enough for some people? I doubt it's because they care about the little guy or give a shit about anyone but their own lust for power. I'm sure he'll be running for POTUS 2010 or 12

From Wikipedia: On September 30, 2008, reports emerged that Bloomberg was seeking to amend the law,[6] and on October 2, 2008, he announced plans to request the removal or extension of term limits for current office holders. On October 23, 2008 the New York City Council voted 29-22 in favor of extending the term limit to three consecutive four-year terms, thus allowing both Bloomberg and council members in their second terms to run for office again.[7] During the amendment campaign, Bloomberg's administration requested the support of certain nonprofit groups, which attracted some criticism because these groups have received large donations from the mayor in the past.

Why don't they just vote themselves terms for life?

The guy has been a Republican, Democrat, and now an independent. He'll be whatever he needs to be to get elected.

I hate politicians.

Two things really piss me off here. That someone keeps bringing up the idea of a ticking time bomb

Me too. I'm tired of people acting like ever since 9/11 we've been in an episode of "24". I don't believe much of what our government says so I don't believe they've ever prevented an attack in an interrogation scenario. I'm also tired of this argument:

Guest: Torturing prisoners encourages extremism.

Fox Host: What?! What are you talking about?!! What about 9/11?! Their religion tells them to kill all infidels! How do you get anymore extreme?

The fact is we are in their land and we are armed. This is the way it has been before 9/11 and the way it is to this day. If some country did this to us there are some among that would fight. I know I would. If I heard they were torturing captured prisoners and setting up checkpoints to get in and out of my neighborhood... Where's the incentive to surrender at that point?

"who's viewing this sift right now?"


Every guy on Videosift.

I understand that cops are human, but when you know there is a camera in the area wouldn't you try to check your anger?

Ron Paul 2012!
