Wonderful! Thank you :~)

Mr S., what a great web site!! A word of advice to others, I think it's better to watch the split screen presentation, so click on the duelity button, not the creationism or evolution buttons. Pretty well sums up the whole discussion, IMO.

Pete, you're link was to the politics main page...did you have something specific in mind?

@unknownuser said: I wonder what their answer is when you want a clip from Area 51. Structures #6 on the website is Area 51.

Misunderstandings of irony aside, I've got to say I don't find the content of this video all that objectionable and the implication that it could only happen in America (because of the title) is very unfair IMO. If you sat at your computer searching YouTube for a day you could probably find footage of "police being heavy handed" incidents from any country in the world. The only difference between the reaction of UK and US police would be that the chances that a drunk driver in the UK would be carrying a gun would be extremely slim, whereas in the US it would be much more likely. I've seen enough videos of US cops going about their duty, pulling over dangerous drivers and then being shot/murdered by the driver or his passengers to be surprised that they didn't taze this guy the second he put his hands in his pockets. I'm surprised traffic cops don't make dangerous drivers and their passengers get out of the car and lie face down before they even get out of the car and approach them; why risk being murdered just for doing your job?

Pete thanks and as i understood, it's for smartphones and netbooks.

Hi, Jim (et.al.) Last month, there was an article in PC Magazine,... ...How to Upload High-Quality YouTube Videos I haven't tried it myself, but the article might provide the info you need. (It's apparent that vimeo still beats YouTube, hands down.) Taff

I saw that live, and it is the best skit ever. It's especially good towards the end once McCain comes in. Chris

Sorry, not funny... not one gosh-doggoned bit funny. from http://www.tnr.com/politics/story.html?id=8c130fe3-adab-4cb3-8443-c363f085cf13&p=1 At one point, the council asked him about the legality of banning group homes--such as shelters for runaways--a position Palin championed. Deuser had an academic manner and was fond of citing Supreme Court precedent. When he explained that a ban would be unconstitutional, Palin appeared impatient with such legal niceties. "I would describe it this way: Sarah was not an in-depth person. Never has, never will be," Deuser says. "Her instincts are political as opposed to evaluative." Though council members routinely bickered with one another, Palin became defensive when she was on the receiving end. "Sarah is intimidated, in my personal opinion, by people who are intelligent," Laura Chase says. by Noam Scheiber

I LOVE the coin! Only Roman emperors look pretty serious on coins.

@bellwells said: ... You guys in Europe have such great looking bars. The buildings are wonderful and cozy. I'm jealous. This one is still the property of the Chapter of the cathedral in my town. It used to be the cellar of the chapter's granary in the 18th century and though the granary was later pulled down,they kept the cellar for obvious reasons They have some serious competition however because the bishop (in another 18th century building, in his castle) "runs" another wine cellar, too. But that's mainly for the tourists and this "ours' is for the local folks. And yes,the atmosphere of these old places rules! They are still from the time when the bishop was the landlord of the town and he was the only one who had right to keep pubs (obviously rented them out like today and was not selling wine himself )

Watch this guys. 'The Century of the Self' produced by Adam Curtis for the BBC. In this documentary (one of the best ever created) Adam Curtis procedes to layout the narrative and creation of the 'Consumer Society' from Freud to PR (and its relationship to Propaganda) to today's party political systems' complicity involvement in media game. It is a astounding piece of work. http://video.google.co.uk/videosearch?q=century+of+the+self&emb=0&aq=f#

Thanks for the links - some pretty sweet stuff. Makes me feel like a kindergertener with crayons.

Thanks, Alan. You brought up a good point about using it on my laptop, too, and its portability.

I know,... but honestly, they are going to do what they want or what they are told to be done. it is not our subject anymore.

Magic! A sightly better educated guess might be that they used some sort of face recognition software to find the actors face and replace it with obama/mcain.

Well, Bruce, whatever your intentions are/were, with your words you have been accusing us for spreading spam. We cannot help if an external site uses spam and you should be grown up enough to deal with in on one hand and to make the difference who is spamming. So much about it and I am done with this issue - should you be blocking SFC (or the domain) or not.

Chuck Norris!

ok. after this discussion subsided in the end (well, after 18 pages), I can't resist starting another one. in fact, this is a question that I haven't entirely answered myself and therefore would like to hear your thoughts about it...

I think thats why I must have fallen asleep.
