And what is there to understand? she accusing random strangers of staking her, that is the definition of insane, and crazy. Shes a tiny step away from attacking these random strangers. she needs treatment yes, but her treatment will take years, possibly decades. If you, or anybody were to try and talk to her and "understand" her, she would repay you with accusations of stalking and wanting to do her harm. she needs to be committed.

How important are our biological differences presently? Can gender equality exist if gender roles are inflexible?

Women undoubtably play a very different role now and it is certainly not without problems. Most developed countries have aging populations due to family planning and longer lives, women give birth later in their lives and that creates certain health problems etc. It is important to remember that perhaps women winning bread is as much a product of our developed society as it is a cause. Why should we make ourselves slaves to our biology and chain ourselves to gender roles that have dwindling relavence. Humans are nothing but flexible. Perhaps instead of focusing on what might be lost with women stepping away from raising a family we should consider what society might stand to gain?

Why someone down votes is personal to them. There is no right way or wrong way to down vote. The idea that someone put in the time to sift a video as a good reason not to down vote it is in my opinion ridiculous.

Now for a personal rant that has nothing to do with you, bjornenlinda: This site was set up to weed out video mediocrity and have its members exposed to the best videos on the internet. Its not suppose to be about quantity of videos you can sift. Its suppose to be about the quality of the ones you sift or videos you love and just have to share. It use to say at the top of the site "VideoSift quality control". I think the site has somewhat got away from that and now is about how many videos i or we can get sifted and the quality of sifts have suffered because of it. "leveling up" use to be a byproduct of sifting, not why you did it. I will now step away from the podium

Sample: lamentations, lamentations, lamentations worldwide

Watch out (repeated)

LB: In the beginning men and women had an obligation to their children
Lateef: Then there was a real and true necessity in need for building
LB: There was still the discipline and will proliferate the lineage
Lat: Matters of the spirit, mind, and body taken serious
LB: But the way that we became what we became
Somebody please explain
Lat: Well we could tell you if you're curious
Those that reign got the masses in chains
And their minds enslaved
Both: And that's the part that makes me furious

Watch out (repeated)

Both: Cos they're definitely aint no info readily avai'
Lable to the general A (?) people so let me know x2

Lat: It's easily this multimedia crews that feed you to the neediest
It's the greediest trying to cheat us out of our God given right
LB: To a quality education minimal opportunities available
Limited occupations we are not given a choice
Lat: Or given a voice within a political system pimped and gangsta'd out
Wherein the people are the victim sheep being lead about
LB: While the followers and the patrons of any faith outside the mainstream
Are being raided, falsely painted as endangering the way things work
Lat: And the way things are remain
LB: I can't believe that things aint worse
Lat: When all the wicked seeds we've sown have grown
LB: And poisoned all the Earth
Lat: It serves us right
LB: Can't really act surprised when the harvest has no worth
Lat: The curse that's lurking round the corner
Both: Is the product of our work

Watch out (repeated)

Right now
LB: The holy war's growing opposing forces polling of the origins
Of which have been historically been ignored
Right now
Lat: Our foreign policy is mallets of democracy
Upholding an aristocracy of secret terrorist cells
Right now
LB: The global poverty that we accept so commonly
Turns people into property one step away from hell
Right now
Lat: Healthcare battles bioengineering for the worldwide scare
Of the plague the we're fearing
Right now
LB: They got the right to put our lives under surveillance
Right now
Lat: They got the right to lock us up we don't obey them
Right now
LB: Modern education don't prepare the youth
Right now
Right now
Both: Do what you gotta do
Right now
LB: There's people shooting at people that's throwing stones
Right now
Lat: There's a movement of people across the globe
Right now
Both: Right now is where we're at
What goes around comes around
Time for action before the last trumpet sounds

Damn girl! Step away from the Keyboard and go outside! (you well and truly earned it).

Amazing how all the bystanders just stand by. Pro tip: When you hear gunshots, hit the deck or at least take a step away from the line of fire... or at least look around to see where the shots are coming from!

It's really rather disturbing watching atheists play the same "change the definitions" game that the right wing plays. The mental gymnastics required to rationalize agnostics as part of atheists is staggering.


The "changing definitions" parts of these arguments are what really make my head explode--along with it's weaker sister--the "No, No don't pay attention to the Primary definition, it's obvious that the Secondary definition is the correct one here." (correct because it reflects the meaning they want it to).

Atheists, take a chill pill and step away from the lectern for a minute or two--take a deep breath. We are with you on separation of church and state. Take "In God We Trust" off US money. Take "Under God" out of the Pledge. Why fight so hard over something which has no impact on you, or our common cause.

What a great sentiment and truly of its time and location. Keep calm and carry on. It says so little and so much. It's not about keeping your head down and ignoring things and being a good little peon. It's the wise words of an aging, warring nation.

So everything's terrible and you're worried it's all steps away from falling apart, but if you panic, and everyone else is panicking as well, and before you know it everything really has fallen apart. But if you persevered and instead of worrying about things you can't change, fix the things you can, and everyone else does too, you may just do enough to reach the next milestone.

I wouldn't be surprised if the sentiment has its roots in military.. it has a militaristic feel to me - something i could easily fit some swearwords into or yell. It's also a great way of combating a rout in a battle. Ok, everything looks like shit, but if you panic you may as well lay down and die, so keep calm and carry on doing what you're supposed to do and if everyone else does you might all live. For your own life, for the life of your squad, for your family back home: KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON!

Perhaps i'm romanticising it? I blame the good video.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Here's the nuance as I see it: He's saying we're all equally sinners so gay people shouldn't be singled out. I realise believing that homosexuality is a sin is misguided from the start but at least it's a step away from his fire and brimstone homophobe bretheren. I do have a problem with the whole concept of sin, but that's another discussion.>> ^ChaosEngine:

>> ^dag:
Upvote, not because I agree with you that it's a sin - but for the nuanced substance of your reply. You must represent the left wing of your fundamentalist church. I don't think your equivalence of sin stance is a very common outlook though.
What nuance? He is parroting the tired old line of "love the sinner, hate the sin". I said it as a joke the other day, but he actually believes it. Meanwhile, his attitude contributes to a society that encourages people to make kids like this feel like they are "broken".

You're my new favorite person. Great comment. Thanks.

I really enjoyed this article. What interests me about some of the comments in here is this apparent need for some of us to brandish this guy as evil or whatever. I get the feeling that we often cling to these concepts when we see people doing things that we find so abhorent; and by considering them in these terms, we are able to see them as "other", as different from us; and therefore we are able to feel righteous in our judgement of them. For me who takes this article at face value, I see a guy who was obviously caught doing some ridiculously amoral or even immoral acts, but in his mind, he was doing some right things. It doesn't justify his acts, just as nothing can justify the acts of the Oakland or NYPDs in recent weeks. But it does make me reflect on the idea that perhaps too simply we create "others" out of people who hold differing views than us, and this seems to be just one step away from considering them as enemies. Certainly the consequences of his actions are ongoing and causing the pain of many, and for that, his 3 year sentence seems somewhat trivial...

What I take away from thinking about this, is that this man's story absolutely stresses the need for all of us to actively participate in our democracies,and to have in place, the systems to hold our elected representatives responsible for their decisions on our behalf. We clearly have a long way to go in all democracies across the world. I wish us well.

No. Step away from the microphone. Go paint pictures.

I think it was just a shop's alarm.
Also I think Police need more canine units. Nothing like a German Sheppard to make you think twice about having a go.


Right you are. It is sad that protesters are one step away from being mobs...

Thank you, Prozac. I'm glad you aren't taking things personally. I appreciate your words in friendship. Yeah, I have a mind to call BBB and I am already going to post terrible reviews all over the web about the moving company. I dealt with a customer service rep who acted towards me with zero respect, didn't call me back in over a week, and then I called and fucking told her off. Now I am awaiting a call from the owner. Sorry to hear this has happened to you.

In reply to this comment by UsesProzac:
Stepping away from everything, I'm so damn sorry that happened to you. I've been in that position and I never had what was stolen returned--vintage coats, purses, instruments. It made me feel helpless and I hate that more than anything. And it's happening to you when your support network is not there for you, and that's even worse. Take them to small claims court and I know it sounds useless, but complain to the Better Business Bureau. If they do it often, it'll add up and have an effect.

In reply to this comment by Issykitty:
Yeah, and excuse me, but I am kind of upset, probably due to my hubby being out of town at length and being an raging hormonal cauldron. Oh, and I just moved and the movers stole something from me. I probably shouldn't be looking at stupid blogs that piss me off.
