You're so multi-faceted. One day you're a mean-spirited prick, and another day you're....a mean-spirited prick. And then there's those days that you're a mean-spirited prick.

LOL. I kid.

You're a hypocrite too.

It's not okay to stereotype Russians, unless you're doing it.

If you're going to be an asshole, could you at least have some sense of consistency?

wow man, did you actually go and find an old post of mine to leave a sarcastic comment on? because i left a sarcastic comment here? that's lol

Thanks. It's a nightmare. I'm still sick to my stomach.

The guy survived, he got away with a few scratches and wears a patch on his ear:

Jeez, slow down. Can we not assume the person who posted this knew the guy survived by the hint 'lives!' in the title?


No, we can't. Relying on videosift titles as evidence is like relying on a paper bag to protect you from machine gun fire.

If I got hobbled, I'd probably beat it too. Even though she could be a trolly monster I still got a kick out of her being here. Got in a three-way with her and The Pinky, once. Fun times.

In reply to this comment by MINK:
it's all gone quiet.

i guess she was beaten to death encouraged to participate in a discussion but physically unable to carry on.


In reply to this comment by schmawy:
So she's not hobbled right now? Got pissed of and went away? Making babbies?

Well, yes, it depends on the context of course. In some ways I consider myself a Russian and in some ways an American. But the fact remains that those aren't races, which is what our argument was about. My race is white or caucasian.

In reply to this comment by MINK:
Well it's funny because you are calling yourself Russian but not living in Russia, which was kind of my point.

It's a personal thing what you call yourself in this mixed up global community, i just find it interesting.

When people ask me where I am from, I say something like "vilnius, born in UK".
When people ask me if i am english I say something like "I am a vilniusian but i have a british passport".

I find it easier to tie my identity to the historically cosmopolitan city of vilnius, not the nation of lithuania (which is a joke) or the nation of the UK (which is also a joke and I really would rather not be associated with it too much). I have lived in Vilnius for 5 years so, i am british by birth only, english by language only. If you wanna invade Vilnius, I might consider defending it. If you wanna invade the UK, be my freaking guest.

Hope that's at least a little bit interesting

Depends on which economists you ask. There are a lot of economists who object on ethical grounds, in much the same way medical scientists object to certain human trials. That is, they dismiss the "how" because they answer no to the philosophical question, "should we permit copyright law?"

Copyrights, in effect, grant the holder partial control (ownership) of the property of other people. If I own a canvas and paint, and you own a copyright for an image, then you also own a part of my canvas and paint. You get to tell me what I can and can't do with it in the privacy of my own home.

If you can imagine an extreme case, where all images are copyrighted, then I could not legally paint on my own canvas.

In reply to this comment by MINK
The economists solution is to make copyright laws that try to give an artist some kind of mechanism to monetize his work... but i think if you do a survey among artists about copyright laws you will find some interesting, confusing, and puzzling responses.

Um, I guess you could say that. Why is that so hilarious though?

Well, I agree with that of course. I'm Russian.

In reply to this comment by MINK:
we're just arguing about the definition of "race" which is like... incredibly arguable.

main thing is, you shouldn't think it's ok to laugh at videos of russian stupidity as if it's genetic.


In reply to this comment by SaNdMaN:
It's a nationality and an ethnicity ("a group of human beings whose members identify with each other, through a common heritage that is real or presumed"). It's certainly not a race, just like French or German is not a race.

In reply to this comment by MINK:
privyet

let's just say russians consider themselves to be a race more than anglosaxons do. we're all the human race if you want to get strict about it.

and the kind of insults russians get are more racial than national... meaning they are more about insulting some kind of genetic stupidity of "the russians" rather than talking about the state of russia.

fourth generation russian emigrants in lithuania still call themselves Russian and don't intermarry. That's... kinda racially minded.

"Russian" isn't a race.
