The Video Thread

[Shorrty]

I dont feel bad, I remember when I used to stay at the farm with my grandparents, I would step in those goddamn holes all the time.

Fuck prarie dogs, i'd elbow drop the shit out of them if i could.

[Fadaar]

If I was paid to shoot the fuckers with a .50 cal for the rest of my life, I would die a happy man.

What amazes me is that over the last few pages of this thread, posters are so outraged at a dog's being a victim that they promise violence for the punk brats that did it...

...yet we had to argue for some five pages over whether a man has the right to defend his family recently.

Back when Men In Black was new, I was too busy to go see it. Since I liked to read while trying to fall asleep, I went out and picked up the book version.

In the book, at the part where that dog/alien is being shook, there is mention of how peoples' hearts bleed for animals, but they will just step over a dying human being.

Wait for it, as the point of this post is coming...

....wait for it...

...the ironic part about this fact about today's society is that originally cruelty to animals was made illegal because one who harms animals not for sport, defense, or food, but just for the sake of sadism will eventually do the same to human beings.

...and the wheel keeps turning.

What would be interesting to see is a debate over the morality of punishing human beings caught harming a human being caught harming an animal. Given that this is America, I'd bet there is an article on it somewhere. The interesting part of it wouldn't be the legality, but rather the moral based points made.

On the base jump video -- you'd think someone who base jumps as a hobby would know that if you are potentially mortally wounded, KEEP STILL.

He's lucky he didn't so much as hairline fracture a vertebre, or he would have paralyzed himself for life by bobbing around like that at the end.

I have no morals, at least I don't think so. that makes me the least qualified to argue moral issues. GaliemVaelant makes some pretty good points, no argument here. But I'd like to chime in.

I think it's moraly justified to "punish" someone who harms animals in that fashion described. It would be an injustice I think not to.

The "punishment" of course must fit the crime. I certainly wouldn't run over the guy with my SUV though.

You really need to rewrite that crap in a form that aint so ass backward. Take some fuckin engrish lessons dude! You wanted us to wait for the point but I couldn’t even get past the "wait for it" part because of how poorly what you were trying to say was structured.

[Rhaiq]

Got enough ellipses in there?

You are an idiot. There is no way he'd be in a normal state of mind at that point that he could even begin to think rationally. He was in shock and couldn't even talk.

A Messageboard is No Place to Relax and Just Talk

_____I apologize heartfully. From this

moment forward, this humble poster will

ensure that all posts on any internet

message board are written well within

the guidelines and specifications of the

Modern Language Association, begining

with this post. Given that certain

standards are impossible to reproduce

utilizing this medium, some standards

will be regretfully overlooked.


Or I could just say "fuck you, I'm writing a fucking post, not a god damned paper for a class." If you don't like the way I phrase something, you have only a handful of choices:

1) Whine about it like an aloof, elitist prick (this is the default option)

2) Hire someone to rewrite posts for you, so that the language you encounter day to day is guaranteed to fit the queen's standard

3) Shut the fuck up if you understand what is being said

4) Shut the fuck up if you don't understand what is being said

When I post on this board, I'm not doing an assignment, I'm not being paid, and I'm usually trying to relax. Naturally, the language and form I use will reflect that.

If you prefer, I could start posting papers from various classes for you to flame with your eighth grade linguistic talents, or in the case of Brittney, for you to flame with your linguistic talents.

I'll start writing up to standard, so far as form, structure, verbatim, ethos, pathos, and logos are concerned when you start paying me to do it. Until then, you and your fellow language nazis can go fuck yourselves.

Are we done now? Thanks...

...what's an ellipse?

By the way, the getting to the point bit was a jab at myself for being too long worded when relaxing. Not everything is about you.

Since we're discussing language, allow me to broaden your horizons by providing you with a new screen name:

edit:

So far as this gem is concerned:

You are an idiot. There is no way he'd be in a normal state of mind at that point that he could even begin to think rationally. He was in shock and couldn't even talk.

No shit, fucktard. I'll tell you what... You go finish basic combat training, so you can come back with a knowledge of who exactly you're calling an idiot. Better yet, go take a header off a cliff, and then flop around a bit to prove your point. In the case of a lack of cliffs in your locale, the header may optionally be substituted for with a bullet to the chest, an extremity filled with shrapnel, or a faithful leap from the door of a vehicle moving above fifty miles per hour.

When one engages in activities almost certain to yield injuries, it is generally a good idea to become at least partially familar with what to do if you get fucked up. The obvious lack of training (or willful ignorance of such) on the part of the jumper in that video is what makes him a dumbass.

Take a look at a NFL player when they're injured. Do they roll around holding their knees/ankles/what have you, like you would expect somebody to do when in significant pain? NO! By contractual obligation designed to protect the players, they are required to remain completely still.

Now, I'll make sure you understand. When you are hurt, if you move around, you are risking applying whatever force you use to move to your injuries. You can see how this works easily from your seat. Break your pinky finger. Now, jerk it around with the same force this guy used to flop about after landing. Now imagine that it's your spine, or better, that it's your ribs, and by moving you are piercing your own vital organs.

Additionally, I hate to point out the obvious, but had he been in shock, he would not have been moving near as much.

Speaking of which, all this talk of vital organs is making me hungry.

I think I speak for everyone when I say, SHUT THE FUCK UP!

This from a self-proclaimed "suiciddal" teenager with 74 posts.

Damnit, do it right next time, kid. No, you don't speak for everyone. You speak for yourself, and for those I am disagreeing with.

Now run along and play, son. This forum is for the big boys and girls.

If you're looking for a place to express your angst, Bruza knows of a castle I'm sure you'd like.

all this fighting makes me sad =(

And all this smack-talk is comeing from someone which I would bet money is a nerd that got shoved in lockers when in school. That's if you weren't the fat nerdy kid that had no friends except his computer and porno mages. Now if your done Bull Shitting, I suggest you shut the hell up before I have to shut it for ya.

Goody! You got back from your trip to the castle! Now, mouth shuttings for all, and then the oral sex!

Everyone loves e-thugs. I'll tell ya what...

Just get to the parking lot and honk five times in series, so I know it's you. I'll come out and play, so long as you let my wife tape what happens. This is the owned video thread, after all, so we might as well be productive.

As a matter of fact, it has been a long time since I have been stuffed into a locker, especially since I was a dumbass stoner in high school; much as you are now. As we all know, the dumbass stoners are the folks who get along well in school, so I can't say I've ever had the pleasure in all honesty. Please, can you alleviate my never having experienced a custom with which you sound thoroughly familar? I would consider it an honor.

Oh, and bring your own locker. Around here, the kiddies have enough upper body strength and endurance to carry their books.

In the meantime, why didn't Bruza tell us his castle has "porno mages"? You could make a mint having Kate summoned for entertainment!
