I can't believe that I just upvoted a Bill Maher video.


Is it not grand to one up a Bill Maher video, an Elating experience.

So, I've been polishing my grammar and am still in need of help. What say you to proofreading my sentences for free?

To answer your question, VideoSift might be more diverse if sifters weren't so very good at alienating religious people...

You were asking for sensible videos about religion? This one has some good points, I think.

Have you ever heard of Onchocerciasis?

To answer your question, VideoSift might be more diverse if sifters weren't so very good at alienating religious people. Most sifters are cool, but sometimes they fall short of my expectations. Clever to moderately idiotic Atheist videos are lovingly sifted. All videos that portray religious people as idiots are fondly adorned with self-congratulatory comments as they make their way to #1. Religioius discussions rarely go anywhere before one or several people jump in and attempt to make the offending believer into mincemeat. If this cannot be accomplished, personal attacks are in order.

To make the point, it may have been more appropriate to say, "I could be more annoyed."


Still, it was as clever as all get out! HA!

Oh, this discussion annoys the heck outta me. I could be less annoyed.

Same thing we do every night Pinky. TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!

Fixed! Thanks for the notification.

I agree. On the one hand there's the "if it's not broken, don't fix it," ideology, but on the other hand, just because it's not broken doesn't mean you can't make it better. I think they're making some really great music still, but they haven't really pushed the envelope like they used to. It doesn't stop me from enjoying their music, but I would definitely like to see them try something new and fresh.

I agree that they're awesome. I'm partial to The Photo Album because my brother used to listen to their earlier albums and I wasn't into them until The Photo Album came out. I feel like they haven't really changed and developed as a band since Transatlanticism, though. I love bands that are always trying new stuff, and I'm waiting for something fresh and different from them right about now.

The one with the rabbits. I used that song to get my girlfriend into DCFC, and it has a really special meaning for me about my relationship with her. I'm a hopeless romantic, lol. I haven't seen all of the videos on Directions yet, because I don't have the DVD (I plan to get it eventually), so I haven't seen the Different Names for the Same Thing video yet. Every song off of Plans and Transatlanticism is pure gold to me though. I would probably put one of those two as one of my favorite ten albums of all time. Amazing, amazing music. Gibbard has the voice of an angel, lol.

Yeah. I love Directions. My brother owns the DVD and it has some great special features. Which music video for I Will Follow You Into the Dark are you talking about? The one with Ben Gibbard and the gaping hole in the floor, or the one off of Directions with the animated bunnies? Both of them are cool. None of the Directions videos have any of the band members in them.

I love all of the Directions videos, but I especially love "Different Names for the Same Thing." Have you seen that one? The director went to a middle school band and asked them to perform the song. A little girl sang the vocals and they recorded the kids doing it, then they dubbed Death Cab's performance over it. It's perfectly in sync and just a great video. I got very nostalgic when I watched it.

Directions, right? I've seen some of the videos off of it, but haven't gotten around to picking it up. Fantastic stuff. I absolutely LOVE the video for I Will Follow You into the Dark.

Have you guys seen all of the videos that Death Cab contracted people to make for their album "Plans?" GREAT stuff. I love those music videos. I hadn't seen this one and I really like it. Thanks.

... Logical thought and theism are not always mutually exclusive.

Very well put. I've been rereading some of the theological/philosophical discussions I've had here on the sift and came across quite a few of your posts on the subject. Your theology is really close to mine. It made me curious, I guess, of your spiritual upbringing so-to-speak.

You definitely strike me as someone who was not content to merely reside in the cleft of "Sunday School theology", as I call it.
