Hence I have only downvoted a handful of videos ever.
But, each to their own I guess.
In reply to this comment by xxovercastxx:
So as not to crowd the video with unrelated posts, I figured I'd take our discussion to profiles.
If the meaning of upvote and downvote were to be defined by the FAQ, I'd gladly comply; I'm all for working in a system. But, as it stands, it's left up to each of us to interpret them for ourselves.
I try to vote on every video I watch. Only if I really just don't know what to make of a video do I not vote, or if I feel somehow conflicted about it.
If I find value in the video, I upvote. If I don't, I downvote. Pretty cut-and-dry for me. I feel people are too concerned with getting videos published, any videos, rather than getting good videos published. I don't think it should be easier to get something published. If anything, I'd like to see it made more difficult.

See, I see things a little differently.
We have
Upvote: You think it's a great video, worthy of moving up higher on the site
No Vote: You don't like the video, or it left you 'meh', or you just thought it was pretty lame... you don't feel it particularly worthy to go any further.
DownVote: You really believe this video has no place on the sift, either it's horribly offensive, racist/bigoted, in really bad taste, is full on propaganda with no truth to it etc.
I really see the downvote as being reserved for those really bad videos. If you just don't like something then don't upvote it for god's sake, it's hard enough to get published around here let alone with people making life harder by downvoting for no real good reason.
Colin Farrell on Jonathon Ross
I too have had the though he is an arrogant dickhead also... I guess owning up to having a problem with substances can be an immensely humbling experience.
Great interview. Oh, and Phonebooth... yeah, that was a brilliant film
South Park - George Lucas Rapes Indiana Jones
And what the hell is up with having an apostrophe in rapes? WTF? In what bizarre English world does that word have an apostrophe?
The McCain-Palin Mob
There are always ill informed idiots on boths sides of any election... Now let's talk about the voters... ha ha! Badoom tish... no seriously.
I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiment. A very small percentage of the voting public are fully up to speed on both sides of the debate, on all issues, on everything each candidate has said.
BUT
The McCain/Palin CAMPAIGN is spreading this stuff, THEY are saying 'is he qualified', 'what do you know about his experience'. When the campaign is using these lines as part of their campaign and speeches, you just need to see if people are swallowing the bs whole without questioning it.
I'm not sure what parts of Obama's campaign you could do the same with really? Any suggestions? McCain is playing a much dirtier, much nastier campaign based on bs, so if the supporters are eating it up, you have to show them they're eating crap.

There you go.
Entertaining.
John McCain calls Americans 'My Fellow Prisoners'
What exactly was McCain trying to say here? I'd be happy to see it in context, I'd be happy to see if it were just a bringing up a word that was just discussed, that's fine, it can be put down to a slip of the toungue, and really, I would put this down to that, as anyone would about the 'my Muslim faith' comment... although in that case he meant it in another way, so it wasn't even a slip, just a misunderstanding.
Give up QM, you're backing a very wrong, very old, very angry horse, and it's about to be taken behind the screen. Try to look away.

I too have changed my stance on all sorts of things, usually a case of understanding the other position better and therefore being able to see their point of view and why they do what they do or want what they want.
In reply to this comment by JiggaJonson:
studies show that new information, even contradictory information, more often than not reinforces previous beliefs. It's sad but true, then again that's why im a liberal and open to new ideas. It's hard to think over and over again "i might be wrong about this" but it often tends to be the case.
In reply to this comment by spoco2:
Brilliant. And so, so true.
Palin trying to make talking about the past be a no-go area was just shameful. It sorely showed how poor the Republican ticket is going when they have to try to pretend that everything the Republicans have done doesn't really exist, have to pretend that learning from mistakes doesn't make sense, how knowing your history can help you in the future.
They are a team of blinkered no hopers. It amuses me that republican supporters try on the 'Obama is just selling hope with no substance'... Where the Obama/Biden team are more than willing to talk about the actual issues, whereas the McCain/Palin team are a team actually selling 'fear with no substance'.
Please Right Wingers, even in your right wing allegiance, surely you can see how this particular ticket is selling snake oil? Surely you can see that?
No?
You can't?

Just brilliant. And yes, I'm talking more about the guy in the video rather than the porn star
Rolling Stone's 5 Myths About John McCain
He and his campaign has put forth all these 'things' about him... and they'll all shit.
Excellent.

Full Debate: From CSpan
I couldn't last long into it I'm afraid. I listened/watched the whole of the VP debate, but I seethed during that. As soon as McCain came on in this one my back got up... calling everyone 'my friends', lauding his idea for buying up properties at current value... um... Excuse me John, but that is ALREADY PART OF THE BAILOUT PACKAGE you f*cking numbnut. It's part of it, it's already being done. What a grandstanding dick he is.
So, I can't handle the aggravation of watching him anymore I'm afraid... I wanted to, as I haven't seen either of them talk at length, but I just can't stand the bullshit anymore.

Is it bad that I noticed that he was a bit of a slob in that he didn't have any quilt cover on his quilt?
Anyone else?
No?
Just anal retentive me then?
Righto.
