The people who claim being gay is a choice as a way to justify ostracizing gays are the same people who don't think we should be allowed to criticize religion, which is definitely a lifestyle choice.

the basic syntax for a link is:
So, using your link from below as an example:
Which would turn into:

Was this in GA? I definitely remember seeing it on the news. Great picture here ( http://taylhis.tangents.org/tag/funny-police-story/ )
p.s. can some one teach me how to hyperlink? no experience with html
I apologize for being such a fucker. Peace?
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.
Like Zonbie said above and I've been saying since the 3.0 launch, stop hiding the post time once a video is published. NEVER hide the post time. We need it for judging dupes.
They aren't "hidden" - just hover over "published by" and you can see the queue and posted times.
This is dupe-ish.

The posting guidelines currently include dead videos as dupes (http://www.videosift.com/faq-en.php#posting_guidelines). I'd recommend offering this to TheSofaKing, but I guess it's your call.
Fair enough. I'm new here, how do I offer it to him?

A douche? Every time I comment or vote on one of LD's videos, whether it be in agreement or disagreement, she leaves me a childish comment. Why shouldn't I respond?

For someone who doesn't care you sure spend a lot of time leaving me messages.
In reply to this comment by LadyDeath:
lol whatever a lot of people still don't care about your opinion bye
In reply to this comment by xxovercastxx:
Generally only other intelligent people. Thanks for being an example.
In reply to this comment by LadyDeath:
Who cares what do you think
In reply to this comment by xxovercastxx:
I've got my own negative opinions about hunting for "sport". I don't need a propaganda shock-video to tell me what I should think.
Yesterday was just a really shitty day, didn't go well at all.
In reply to this comment by xxovercastxx:
I want to say up front that I'm not trying to drag this out and I honestly mean what I'm about to say as constructive advice, not criticism or argument.
I understand what you're saying about being afraid that your comment might not be taken seriously, but you have some obligation to state your opinion to a would-be harasser anyway. The key to sexual harassment is that the advances are unwanted. You have to make that clear to the other person and give them the opportunity to correct their behavior. It wouldn't be fair for them to face disciplinary measures without ever knowing they were doing something wrong.
In reply to this comment by xxovercastxx:
Proper tagging and labeling of said videos is just as important as posting them.
In reply to this comment by LadyDeath:
For what I know this website is to post videos not to correct words...I have better things to do..If you dont like something then vote down but don't start with your corrections all the time...it just annoying,you should be an English professor and correct students..the sift is not a school...bye
In reply to this comment by xxovercastxx:
Actually, I appreciate being corrected when I make a mistake. I've got this thing about trying to do things correctly... terrible, I know.
I just checked; because I was curious and I generally don't pay any attention to who posts what video; and I've now voted 2 of your videos down. Let's not pretend I do it like it's my job.
In reply to this comment by LadyDeath:
whatever so you are the most PERFECT one who writes and speaks english in here wow applause professor carl...
In reply to this comment by xxovercastxx:
No, I vote against everyone's stupid videos and correct everyone's stupid words. You're not special.
In reply to this comment by LadyDeath:
Who cares?? are you only in here to vote against my videos and correct every stupid word...whatever
