I'd rather watch Democracy Now or The Real News Network.

The country is secular in policy but practice, hardly. There are numerous cases where religious acts are being invoked politicians and government organizations in power, and the rare occasion where the rule of law takes place.

Don't lecture me on the Establishment Clause.

What the right thinks is an immutable document is just that a document that is subject to the opinion of the reader; which therefore must be debated upon by the people. I said that in my comment above.

However equating the constitution to a fetish is horridly disturbing. It breathes an air of, "it's just a piece of paper," or it's just a vice to be used when you need it but when you don't just put it back in the cabinet; which is exactly what the right does when they need it. This whole piece was just a jab at the short ribs of those less educated to understand what was taking place.

We differ on many things. What we consider to be good reporting or news may be completely different. However I maintain my position that the guest speaker had very good points that were done a disservice by a crude and tacky quip by what I would guess was a news-reader's utterances read from a teleprompter.

On a different note. I got an email for every quote and comment you made @NetRunner. The thought in my head was, "Ah shit, he saw fit to debate me three separate occasions on the same video!" That was until I came here and saw it was from the quotes you took and @ comment.

I just got an email with the first pack for free and I only donated 5 yesterday, check your emails if you ordered yesterday . i've played world of goo, gish and samorost already, but not the others. like i have time for all this...ugh

you were right gwiz, revenge of titans is sweet (and difficult)

Thanks for posting this. I miss the good old days of MST3K, especially Turkey Day 1991. I got an email from Mike Nelson once. The MST3K crew had a website up for a bit called TimmyBigHands.com and I sent a kudos, figuring some intern would reply with a form email. But got a nice email from Mike. I had mentioned that "Eegah" was one of my faves and he thanked me for reminding him of that horrible film, and now his night terrors were going to return. That cracked me up.


--nice story, Ahem... is that a Bono avatar??

if you honestly think i've developed this opinion from just one thread, you haven't been paying attention.
if you honestly think my comment had no hints of sarcasm or exaggeration, you have a poor grasp of literary devices.

now where are the sifts proto fascists to tell me how the victims deserved it?

If you're honestly comparing something of this magnitude to a girl being arrested, you've got problems lady.



What in your first post is meant to be sarcastic? to me, that's just a plain statement, without a hint of detectable sarcasm and a shot at those of us who don't easily take the stance of "The cop is always in the wrong".

And, no, I don't think you're opinion is developed by one thread. However, I got an email you had quoted me on someones profile, something to the tune of "we is proto-fascists". Being as the quote taken from me was from the 'girl viciously attacks police officer' thread, and you're again referring to "proto-fascism" I was comparing the two remarks together.

thanks lucky, I got an email saying you mentioned me, and another saying I was quoted. cool

A wacko like Ron Paul. Nice.
Pretty classic vid here.


I got an email from him today that was just full of Republican Talking points and it bothered me that I once gave money to his campaign.

Lemme fix that for you...

Hi. One of my comments got to 15 votes and I got this email:

Thank you, Retroboy, for responding to our internet advertisement that allows you to add at least one full inch to your pe

SORRY sorry! Wrong email. Damn cut and paste buffer!

Here.

Congratulations! Your comment has just received enough votes from the community to earn you 1 Power Point. Thank you for your quality contribution to VideoSift.

Now when I clicked the link to see what comment it was, I got a little cute blue-edged rectangle next to the "upvote" button on the comment in question. When I moused over it, it told me the following.
star point awarded for member applause

So I looked at my profile, and here are the salient bits.

SORRY, wrong cut and paste again. Frig!

Here. I'll just tell you that I have more upvoted comments than star points.

So I just wanted to point out that a minor correction to Sift's labels might be in order.

...and that I apparently suck at cutting and pasting.



There is a typo in the hover text for applauded comments. Should say "power" not "star".

hey, i just got an email on this guy... i think i'm going to call him up

no prob...this downvote's for you.

btw, it takes years of training to hold a grudge against somebody you don't know, I'm glad you can appreciate it.

Thanks for the well-wishing. Takes quite a person to go out of their way to respond to someone that hasn't even looked at this has-been site in over a year! I only know you posted something because I got some email about it. Honestly, I had forgotten all about Videosift. Also forgot why I disliked you. Oh well. Here's to you, Mr. "Hold a grudge and let it eat at him inside"!

I'll go back to not coming to this site....please continue on with your life.

if you're still on, go away.

Once a video is declared "dead," no one except the original poster can fix it during the first 48 hours. Go look at the Dead Pool right now, and you'll see that it's not there yet. It takes 48 hours for a dead video to go there, and only then can anyone fix it. That's why no one can fix it for you right now.

It seems like a goofy rule to me too, but that's the way it is. Sorry. However you should have it back in 2 days. If no one else fixes it for you by then just contact me and I'll do it.

We're still friends.

Wow, Daily Motion is slow. I mean, have we seen 2 or 3 other Fey/Palin skits by now? Anyway, good to know that DM is that slow.

But why wouldn't you fix this for me? If it's just a matter of being nice and giving someone else a shot at a point or so, maybe I should remind you that if it hadn't been for your DM upload this vid would've been dead 3 weeks ago. That is, if you think you need my official permission .

Love,
Octo
