A timeless cat video featuring a an adorable little furball struggling with it's own super-ego. It would be just as entertaining in ancient Greece or on a Mars mining colony in the late 37th century.


"It's a KITTEN, dipshit."

Just stop the sexist bullshit. The rest I couldn't care less about.

DFT & IK, it's so cute how you upvote each other's comments and videos. It sorta reminds me of the Terri Schiavo case, where her husband, Michael, supported her and efforts to bring her back to consciousness for years, even though it was obvious she was vegetative.

What a strange reply to a compliment. Checking the age of a video that I knew I had seen before is no more difficult or time-consuming than viewing your ignored comments. Click. Done.



Wow. You edited your comment after submitting it. How strange. The original was reasonable and to the point ("Alright Fletch. That's enough"). When I got the email, I was just going to respond with something like "no problem, but I don't take kindly to name-calling", or something along those lines, but the new version with "misogynist harassment" sounds like a typical IK comment. You know, buzzwords intended to support a desperate, gutless fabrication. I'm sorry, but there is no way you wrote "misogynist harassment". I've just read way too much of what you've written in the past. You just aren't prone to shrill exaggeration. Buzzwords... that's IK. If I'm wrong... I'm wrong. Sorry about that.

I don't use the sarcasm box. Never will. I think it's stupid. Unfortunately, not doing so gives those who need a windmill to slay an opportunuty to be offended by something, and may give those who wish to offend a free ticket to do so. (I recently saw a comment by Lucky ((?) I think; maybe dag) tell someone that if they didn't check the sarcasm box, they would be banned for a time. Or something. Insane.) If you choose to take what I say literally, and resolve it into "misogynist harassment", then the joke is on you. I'm sorry, but it started with "dipshit". Everything after that was a REPLY. She asked for it. But that's her MO... name-calling, condescension, that strange you-must-really-want-my-attention act that is just so tired/weird, all followed by threats and the circling of wagons when none of those tactics result in the last word. That's my perception/experience with her, anyway. Call me names, it's on. I won't allow anyone to talk to me like that without responding. If she is going to be so thin-skinned about it, she should really consider carefully what she types before hitting "submit new comment".

I am an equal-opportunity stale and stupid cat video down-voter. I have no idea why she thinks she's so special. Maybe she just lives for badges, or something sad like that.

Wow, even more abuse after trying to be so nice. However, I won't let anything you say ever make me sad because I realize it's all just an effect of your condition. I will persevere and just be grateful that you are still able to form at least some very sentence-like groupings of words. It's not exactly an ideal method of communicating with you, but you say so much by what you don't say. Just know that I know. I always have.
I'm just concerned, ST. Are you off your Zolpidem? I read it may benefit those in a PVS, but you have to stick to the prescription. If I may say so, because I care, you seem to be displaying several symptoms of withdrawal: regression, paranoia, NPD, unintelligible outbursts, feelings of being watched, sophmoric ad-hominem, punctuation deficiency...
I'll try to clarify what I was saying above, since the parsing of implicit expression often escapes one so stricken. You have a good man. A damn good man! Lean on him and let him help you while you can. You are as blessed to have landed him now as his next wife will be after he wins the support of the Court to remove your feeding tube.

@Fletch so desperate and sad. Like I said before, I kindly suggested you to get therapy, sweetums. These cries for attention are getting old, yet you just keep coming back again and again. Comments are on ignore, so whatever you are saying at this point is getting forwarded. Cheers!

That's the point of this occupywallst thing. It doesn't require an inspiring figure or a set of demands or goals to achieve. It's like when someone who's always thought there was something wrong with their religious beliefs meets an atheist and has that realization that there are other people out there who are having the same thoughts as they are. It's a pretty powerful thing.
I agree that protests seem more effective when they have specific goals, but why does this specific protest need a goal today . I think it's better to stand up and say the whole "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore". Work out the details later.
The Arab protest movements didn't start with any inspiring figures or well thought out sets of goals. Sure, they were probably a little more geared towards getting rid of their governments, but those governments had figureheads. Wall Street has no single figurehead at which people can direct their anger. How do you kill a beast with no head?
I think we're seeing something new here...a protest with no head to kill the beast with no head. A true battle of mindsets. This is the new culture war.

The Arab spring had a very clear goal, to remove a dictatorship and replace it with democracy. They weren't just mad at the world and burn it all down. They had a very specific alternative already in mind that they were demanding. You demean their plight and deaths for the right to vote by claiming kinship between it and this vague, I'm mad cause I wanna be rich too rumbling.

Yeah, maybe it's a first world plight and it's not as "fight or flight" "life and death" as the Arab spring, but I don't think it's right to differentiate struggles against the concentration of power the way you're suggesting. That's like how people argue that soldiers with PTSD shouldn't get a purple heart because they didn't shed blood. Yes, it's different, but it's still an injury. You can argue that health care is a life and death struggle as well. Hell, I'd almost rather we were fighting for our lives in the literal sense...then maybe people would realize that dying from lack of health care is still dying. The fact that you didn't get shot or die in a terrorist attack doesn't change that. Dead is dead.
I don't think the wall st. protesters are just "rumbling", nor do I think they want to just "burn it all down". It's also ridiculous to say that they "wanna be rich too".


Your missing my central point. The Arab spring protesters were not just opposing something worse and more sinister, the equally important point is that they were protesting to advocate for something better.

Please articulate for me what it is that the occupy wall street crowd wants. Do they have a solution they are advocating for? Without advocating for a solution to the problem, they are just rumbling and lobbying to fix the problem by burning it down. Or maybe in terms that you'd more willingly agree with, without advocating for a solution, they are leaving it in the hands of the elite to come up with the solution. That kind of paternal attitude though is at the heart of the problem.
