Is there anyone else that can't take listening to the pundits shout over each other? By the end I couldn't take the screeching any more.

definitely needs sound.

snooze, that's a reply that doesn't address his concerns regarding monetary policy. It's not as if Mr. Paul is an advocate of wealth redistribution, but our current credit crisis can be related to the Fed's policy regarding liquidity when they drove the Federal Funds Rate down to 1%. The amount of currency being "created" had a number of adverse consequences which have been detailed by smarter minds than I.

One of my favorite aspects of videosift are the substantive debates that usually occur in the comments. I actually hear well thought out reasoned points to which I can disagree civilly. By answering a reporter's questions you agree to their framing of the issues. If your book is to point out how totalitarian states arise you have nothing to gain by using your four minutes to discuss an alternative to Guantanomo. That's not what her book is about and she gains nothing by going down that path.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE. Life is not like 24. How many military interrogators do you need to tell you that torture is counter-productive before you realize that opposing torture IS PATRIOTIC. I don't oppose torture because Susan Sarandon & Rosie O'Donnell say it's bad. I think it's a bad idea because the military says it delivers us shitty intelligence.

Intelligence so shitty that if we are to believe that the government acted in good faith in the runup to Operation: Iraqi Freedom that it directly caused us to be there. Much of that misinformation was obtained by torture. Why is everyone who opposes this shit supposed to go on TV & explain the last 6 years in minute detail. I can't keep track of all the malfeasance off the top of my head. I need a fucking pocket guide to fully and accurately detail the lies, various misdeeds, innocent people tortured, and counterproductive strategies employed.

I for one am tired of dealing with two sets of facts. I can handle a completely diametrical position, even on Fox News, but I can't handle two completely different versions of reality. Especially when the jingoistic, faux-patriotic version is not only so dangerous to citizens, it SIMPLY DOESN'T WORK. Why bother torturing people if you haven't even secured the borders? The bullshit neocon argument isn't even fucking safe. What use is increasing electronic surveillance if you don't have the manpower with the language skills to analyze the data? FUCK THE SHEEPLE WHO ALLOW THESE DANGEROUS SYCOPHANTS TO SCARE YOU.

You know I want to fucking taze everyone who comments on these fucking taser videos who obviously has no idea what it feels like. I'd take the nightstick over the taser. I've been tased before multiple times on more than one occasion. It is no fucking laughing matter.

Imagine the maximum amount of pain your body can feel. Then imagine that pain somehow worsening. That's tasering. Police would never use a nightstick with the impunity that they use tasers. Noncompliance is not a sufficient reason to use a tool like this. I try to remind myself that some people become cops because they want to help people and not because they're looking for a megalomaniacal outlet for their sadistic impulses after they graduate from high school bullying. It's not easy.

I probably can't do that. Thx. I even searched first but he must have had different tags than me.

i thought the best part was where the male actor says "the worst i've ever been called is a black fuckcock"

jwray, key phrase "could not have been done", not is not done. And I too could go on a tirade about AA. I'll truncate it and say it's about as effective for nonbeliever as the ads where marijuana makes you run over your little brother is for drug-prevention.

Congratularation !!!

joedirt, not the message I got. You may be right about Unilever. I want to give it more than 15 seconds of thought before reaching a snap conclusion. But my first thought was finally, a pushback. The advertising industry is not a monolith and I imagine whomever created this advert was disgusted by what we all see around us.

Yes, they're marketing to us and I don't like being marketed to but if I have to be marketed to I prefer this to the usual horseshit.

The same way you conduct any survey of illicit behavior in this country. Usually the information comes from non-governmental sources like University studies or anonymous medical questionnaires. You can also use law enforcement records to track usage, but the evidence is overwhelming that the majority of drug users in this country are non-minorities. If there's any doubt all you have to do is look at the relative numbers.

The white population (self-reported) in 2000 was 216.9 million or 77.1 percent of the country's population. Even though proportionally some minority groups may have a higher rate of use, there are going to be far more white users overall in terms of actual numbers.

Wow... this should expire, if the sift has any mercy. One of the worst forms of dancing since the demise of Hammer.

the world was a better place when he was alive

my eyeballs tried to commit sepuku.
