What if the government was your worst enemy
"This is the kind of video blankfist would post, and then leave me a personal comment saying something about how this video demonstrates that all of my political beliefs are wrong, when all it really demonstrates is the level of cognitive dissonance inherent in the entire conservative worldview."
Except I was never a conservative. And that's also assuming a lot from me. And possibly a misrepresentation of my character. Glad to see things didn't change while I was out.
What a Bitch!
Welcome to life, kid. You don't always get to keep what you catch. Well -- unless it's herpes.

Thanks for the quality!
Pretty much sums up law in general as concerned with the current ruling factors in the US government right now.

I never got the chance to thank you for the kind words you left on my wall right after my first account was banned. Cheers. Hope you're well.
Hey, buddy. I don't know whether you'll be checking your profile much now that you've been sent on the CircleLine cruise, but I wanted to tell you that I for one am rather disgusted by the way this played out. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Northeast Irish-Catholic (now non-superstitious) liberal, and I don't give a flying fick about your politics.
You've been a QUALITY submitter & commenter here, and were probably one of the main reasons I came out of lurkdom and became a Sifter. When I saw your banination, I spent about two hours reading comments and looking at your submissions to try to rationalize your dismissal, but there just wasn't enough. I may be only a GoldStar, but I've been here longer than I'd like to recount. In all my days, I've seen few Sifters as committed to the QUALITY this site intends to promote. I suppose there is much to your banination that I'm not privy to, and I'm very sorry for that. Even though it seems you have trolled quite a few members in the recent past, I think this decision should have been opened to investigation and consultation with the community at large.
Over the last years, we've had a disappointing diaspora of QUALITY members, but yet you stuck around. As the years have progressed, the QUALITY of submitters and high-level, long-term members has dwindled. I came here for people like you, like @Farhad2000, like @eric3579, @djsunkid, @mlx, @silvercord, @dystopianfuturetoday, @NetRunner, @kronosposeidon, @dag, @MarineGunrock and even like Choggie. You are among these names.
A (seemingly) long time ago, this site celebrated its diversity of both style and opinion. We've banned, and supported the banination of conservative trolls in the last few years, but only because of EXCESSIVE violations (eg. CaptainPlanet, and (to his unfortunate discredit) Choggie; this is NOT an exhaustive list). I've watched the progression, and while I agree with the socio-political principles of those in support of the exclusions, I cannot but think how the actual QUALITY of the site has suffered.
This was a place I came to enlighten myself, with submissions like this, this, this, this, this, this, and this (which is truly just a smattering of the QUALITY you've brought here). I used to hit the VideoSift link and expect to see submissions that I wouldn't have seen elsewhere. Unique submissions, with a higher intellectual quotient than the rest of the horse-apple internet digest sites. But now it's a site nearly indistinguishable from this one, and this one, or this one. Certainly (and obviously) I like and frequent those sites, but this is VideoSift, and I have always expected more bang for my buck.
I'm sure you've realized by this point that this comment is not just for you to read, as it both is public, and draws the attention of many other QUALITY members of the community. But I assure you that whatever the reaction, I want you particularly to know that you've affected my understanding of the world-at-large in a most positive way over the last four years. It was a privilege to have had your influence, and I will miss it.
Home Invasion in Millburn NJ caught on nanny cam - brutal...
This is partly why I, personally, can't take the gun control argument in the U.S. seriously. This lady was unarmed and, above all else, complying with the home invader. And yet all of that still didn't deter this monster. Difficult video to watch. *promote

Irish Politician Calls Obama "War Criminal" & "Hypocrite"
I think it's safe to say, here in the U.S., we know we definitely can't trust the Republican Party, and now we certainly cannot trust the Democratic Party. Luckily there's still the Green Party and the Libertarian Party, which I've no doubt is just as corruptible given a quantifiable time in power. The people need to ultimately learn, in my opinion, not to become fanboys of partisanship.
