Please don't be inclined to pull the trigger on my account.

I was headed to bed and...

You might look at "videos_newest_riot." Some of the footage is the same.

I am tiring of the duping...stress included...and I hate doing it to friends even more.

I guess I an old softie after all...soft in the head at least.

I have had tons of respect for Weiner, minus a few of his childish antics. But now...

1. How can sending someone a groin shot over the web be guaranteed as consensual? What if it turned out that what he thought was a 21 year old was actually a 13 year old girl pretending to be 21? If he was comfortable enough about his anonymity how could he know who he was dealing with?

2. Really? You are giving a man who has railed against dishonesty in politics and the media a pass on a knee jerk lie? Remember the true measure of a person is not in times of comfort but in times of stress. He almost might have been able to save himself if his first reaction was the truth.

3. Everything that a political figure does, professionally or personally, has something to do with their politics.

4. So do I.

5. Agreed, but this is not about his marital issues. His marital issues are as a result of his actions, they are not necessarily the cause of them.

6. Agreed. This alone invalidates him in his position and makes him hardly supportable now.

7. See numbers 3 and 6.

8. For me the issue is not the original screw up but instead it is the lie that immediately followed that is the problem. If his default reaction is to lie like a 5 year old to protect himself what does that say about him? Did he lie out of panic or did he actually for a moment think that he could fool everyone and get away with it? It is hard to trust a person who tells the truth only when there is no other option.

How can his antics be taken seriously now? He will be yoked with this for the rest of his political career.

>> ^peggedbea:

1. i don't give a shit what he does in his private life, as long as it is consensual.
2. i can totally see accidentally sending something embarrassing to the wrong place and then freaking out about it and making up some lie to cover it up, i'm pretty sure i've done it.
3. this has nothing to do with his politics
4. i like his politics
5. his marital issues are not my business
6. disappointing that he put himself in a position to be discredited for every valid thing he says from now on
7. stupid that political opponents and news outlets will tell america that who he jerks off with somehow discredits his work
8. i really really really don't care who beats off/screws whom as long as it is consensual. i wish the news would regain some class and keep peoples private lives private... even though he technically outed himself... still can we just do what my friends would do if i accidentally posted a dirty picture to my facebook and deleted it immediately and politely pretend it never ever happened???

Since this topic has been brought to the front page, involving everyone in the debate over the reaction to what is ultimately a rather unspectacular video, I offer my two cents:

The video is unfunny, depicts the striking of a female by a male, presenting it as some sort of a dorm room dare contest.

There is no way to tell whether this 'activity' was truly consensual. Nor is it known whether all parties involved had each been striking each-others groins equally, where the female's (presumably) reduced upper body strength was accounted for. If the latter were the case and it wasn't just an excuse for the males to hit a girl as hard as they could, then it could be said that the female is a willing participant.

I find absolutely no humor in scenarios involving violence against any weaker party by those physically superior. However, the clip is also entirely without any context that might suggest a different dynamic here.

I wasn't there, I don't know the people or their personalities. Thus, I found it impossible to decide where I stood on it, as such I did not vote and then moved on.

What spoco said on that video was a completely made up scenario that he had in his head, which had absolutely nothing to do with what was really going on. The woman was not being oppressed, intimidated, forced, belittled, abused either physically or mentally, OR sexually exploited in any way whatsoever. It was a knee jerk reaction to a basically harmless bit of drinking fun between a group of friends and consenting adults, nothing more. If they choose to party that way and play drinking games where they punch each other in the groins, who are we to judge that? And I'm not trying to be an ass here but who are you, he, or anyone else to judge us for thinking it was funny? I just don't get it. We have every right to like/laugh at the stupidity just as you guys do to hate it. And WE are trolling for mentioning that? Again I don't get it.

Multiple things going on here. I gather what you are saying about people purposely trying to get to you, and no, I do not think that is okay if you are expressing you displeasure and they continue. However, what people choose to promote or not promote is also a form of expression and as you said censorship is not okay. I forget where the quote came from, or if it is even a quote but "You should have the right to go through life without being assaulted, but not offended." This is the phrase that spring to mind when ever someone says 'Fuck' in public as well as other statements 'that is retarded' 'that is gay.' To each person these statements fall onto a different part of the spectrum of their political correctness beliefs.

As for sexist, yes, a video can be sexist, but cannot it not be sexist in a certain way? Sexist without malice or harm in mind. I will admit I have posted several videos with 'the boobies' present in them, but I find them to be done for the artistic/shock/thought purpose, not for the fap purpose. I feel as though @thepinky was dealing with a similar situation here. I do not know how to preceded. Would glorification of the male 'nut-shot' be similar exploitation? (i could see how they could be considered similar in regards to sexism) Because I also enjoy (read: cringe in pain) at a good ball to the groin. As for comparing the situation to racist videos, I would say that the sift does indeed have videos with racism as a 'comedic vehicle.'

Beyond that, all that I can really suggest is to ignore those people that offend you, (both by actually selecting ignore, and by not opening their videos) I know that I use my avatar as my own personal reminder not to sweat whatever other people say or think (quite a challenge).

Hey, we Nords have to stick together against these barbarian hordes...

Also I can't believe the amount of crap you got for that video... I mean that was some serious work by the Overreaction Squad... I believe I even saw the leader of the Jump To Conclusion gang in there as well... Sorry about that... guess my promote got you in trouble... but you are welcome. "That which does not kill you hurts" or however the saying goes...

i think its pretty safe to say that damn near every Sifter is opinionated (myself included, for sure). The difference being that while we may be heartily opinionated most of us arent blowhards and have the clarity to articulate these opinions graciously and civilly (and at times sarcastically) which is what brings me back here every day, personally. Im sure you'll agree

I don't think much of your quest to keep this on the front page. I don't think it's good for the community to keep a post on "cunt punching" at the top of the site so it's the first thing that new visitors see. I think you're doing a disservice to the Sift and our community.

I'm not planning to do anything about it - because I think that too would be against the spirit of our community. Just want you to know that I think it's a pretty shitty crusade you've picked to foist onto us.

And inch-by-little-inch we succumb to being more like YouTube - the preferred hangout for opinionated young men looking to make some noise. Congrats to you and Gwiz both.

Pfft. You need to lighten up, dude. We are nothing like youtube. I had no ulterior motive to this, so don't put intentions into my actions. I have no desire to see VS turn into youtube, liveleak or any of the crappy sites. VS is what it is, and that's better than basically all other videosites.

This is just a stupid video. We have plenty of them. So ease up. That goes for everyone in the thread.

oh groan.

this video isn't about domestic violence or equality in the least. it's about drunk people acting stupid. it's lowest common denominator crapitude and belongs in the bowels of youtube. get off you're douchey high horse and quit pretending that you support equal rights or are liberating women around the world because you're sense of humor is on par with drunk 19 year old state school frat boys. geez.

why does any video featuring female anatomy turn into some battle of the sexes bullshittery around here? sure, i'm responsible for a ton of feminist siftering, but this isn't about that. it's just stupid drunk people kicking each other in the groin. i downvote because i like my genital humor drier and more sophisticated.
