Reminds me of the old joke:

Two biologists are in the field following the tracks of a radio-collared grizzly bear. All of a sudden, the bear crashes out of the brush and heads right for them. They scramble up the nearest tree, but the bear starts climbing up the tree after them. The first biologist starts taking off his heavy leather hiking boots and pulls a pair of sleek running shoes from his back-pack. The second biologist gives him a puzzled look and says, "What in the world are you doing?"

He replies, "I figure when the bear gets close to us, we'll jump down and make a run for it."

The second guy says, "Are you crazy? We both know you can't outrun a full-grown grizzly bear."

The first guy says, "I don't have to outrun the bear, I only have to outrun you!"

What is your affiliation with this video?

So let me guess, your wild slovakia nature, ano?

Fun fact, the actress they've cast as Monica Lewinsky is the same one who played Sarah Palin in Nailin' Palin.

I don't know what I'm going to do when I move back to America. Right now I live in the land of trappists (Belgium) where the best beers costs about $.90 per bottle in the grocery store. I love Westmalle, though I can never decide between the dubble or the triple.

Haha, some other Trappist drinkers eh? I'm a big fan of the Westmalle Tripel myself. Though, considering its cost over here, I'm more likely to be drinking the Rutting Elk Red from the Grizzly Paw Brewery in Canmore, AB.

Claiming that people should stop burning fossil fuels would HEAVILY dent the income of just about every country because of how much tax they can charge from it. Britain's economy is almost based on fossil fuel tax. How can you possibly argue that they are a politically influenced source over fossil fuel use when they criticise such a money earner?

Politics aside, fossil fuels remain the cheapest, most abundant source of energy, and new supplies of it are being discovered all the time. I never said people should stop burning them.

I hesitate to even mention that "science" as a global community is above reproach in ways that hardly anything else can be due to the method of a scientist. If you are not performing science for truth and discovery, you are not a scientist, so you're not part of the community anymore. That's why it's above reproach. I'm sure you'll argue with me about that, but i know that you'd argue about the time of day if you were proven to be wrong.

I'm not arguing, but I am astonished you would believe scientists are above politics (and reproach), not because the scientific method is flawed, but because scientists are fallible humans with their own beliefs and interests. As W. Pennypacker said in so many words, governments reward scientists which confirm a pre-determined outcome (like secondhand smoke killing 100 billion people a year). Junk science is real; it may not be everywhere, but it's out there. And not just "the oil companies" which have "scientitians" in their corner.

Another thing, gang. Over the last few years, global warming hysteria has been relentless. It's the alarmists who declared, "The debate is over." There was even one smug a-hole who compared "climate deniers" to Holocaust deniers. Classy! There was the faked data scandal. These are not the actions of scientists confident in their conclusions. Yet the lazy media continues to back the alarmists without question.

Do you really expect free people to surrender to THIS?

It's grizzly and someone definitely dies in it. I'd probably discard it as snuff, since other posts of "raw footage" has gone that way, but I think the discussion is worth having.

A way to do it is to post it in sift talk and embed the video there, or find a more palatable video to sift (like a news report on that thing) and link that video in the description.

I'm not for one second surprised that any religions would do this, but if I out of hand should point to the most likely suspect, Islam, it seems I would be right. I'd parade the people responsible, every single one who hit that person, out in front of the angry mob and shoot them, but that's just me.

In reply to this comment by hpqp:
Indeed. Do you think this video should be sifted? I understand the disgust factor, but I feel it cannot be considered snuff, since the images/soundtrack/description already provide information (and matter for debate) far beyond "something died/was killed".

Religion is violence. This is not unexpected.

Grizzly Bears are not the same as Black Bears or Brown Bears. >> ^blankfist:

She's obviously never seen Grizzly Man.

Interesting...but missing some information I want. This video seems to make the assumption a typical NHL rink is only made once throughout the year...

What I want to know is how crews can take apart the ice rink within 24 hours, and put the rink back up again within 24 hours. Not just the ice either, but the boards and all that jazz. This video demonstrated installing an NHL rink that seems to require at least 2 days, which is immensely slower then it is being done in multiple arenas.

For example, Rogers Arena (then GM Place) was the home to the Vancouver Grizzlies and the home of the Canucks. There would frequently be a Basketball game one night with a Canucks game less then 24 hours later and a concert less then 24 hours after that. How do they they put things together so quickly? How do they melt and drain the ice, and then install an NBA basketball court within 24 hours followed by reinstalling an NHL rink immediately after within 24 hours? 20 hours is more realistic, as they wouldn't be able to start till about 11pm that night and would have to be ready by 6pm the day after (as pregame skate is about 1 hour before faceoff which is 7pm). That's a video I want to see.

This is idiotic. Black bears kill about as many people as Grizzly bears(1). Obviously that's partly a product of them being much more common, but still -- they are undeniably dangerous. The actions of this woman might be 99% safe, but that's not good enough considering how often black bears and humans run in to each other. I would definitely defend myself if a black bear charged me -- there's a non-trivial chance that bear has selected me for his dinner menu.

(1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fatal_bear_attacks_in_North_America

This happened to me and a colleague during some field work in 2009 except there were 2 adult Grizzlies and they were charging us instead of casually walking... not a fun situation and this guy should definitely not be walking away from it...

wow what a moron.
being an idiot is not a good way to change people's attitude towards bears.
Didn't Timothy Treadwell and Werner Herzog teach us anything?
..and don't give me some crap about grizzlies being dangerous and black bears being harmless. That logic would imply that it's fine to taunt a grizzly because it's not as bad-ass as a polar bear. Bears are dangerous. Accept it.. treat them with the respect the deserve.

Well, no, it would imply that black bears are behaviourally different than grizzlies in a way that makes them less of a threat. These assessments are done species-by-species, according to the facts, not with an arbitrarily imposed system of logic.


well, no. Saying that black bears are "less of a threat than Grizzlies" is both true and a good message to get out there. Saying that "black bears are harmless" is will get people killed and is criminally negligent.
