    For Gods sake, you ridiculous troll, could you at least include a SINGLE word of thought?!? This board is not your personal blog or Facebook site to post little clips you find amusing. This is the DEBATE AND DISCUSSION section. You neither debate, nor discuss.

    Do us all a favor and go spend more time with your family and less time here.

    I would like to see the mods implement a new rule/standard that requires all thread starters to have at least *some* ideas/input/opinion/perspective of their own before starting a thread.

    If I wanted a conservative newsfeed or a republican videostream/vlog I'd go find one.

    I'm all for conservatives who DEBATE and DISCUSS. We'll never make progress towards understanding each other if we don't talk to each other.

    But posting a video with no DEBATE or DISCUSSION is just inflammatory.

    Yeah, because those two actions would essentially be the equal of one another, right?

    Sometimes you're so dense I can't help but think you're putting on an act.

    And where is the outrage thread for a thread delcaring all Republicans are idiots?

    Liberal hypocrisy reigns.

    well, the OP seems to have generated some D&D, so i don't see the harm, just because "some" disagree with the content, although it seems clear that those complaining loudest, have not viewed the video.

    Hypocrisy would be supporting/agreeing with that thread.

    Posters aren't the D&D police, and they're not supposed to be fair, or balanced.

    That is what moderators are for.

    You don't "generate D&D". You hit and run. You post inflammatory videos/links with no thought of your own, and then disappear when people call you on it. Don't try to pretend you're some arbiter of reasoned discussion, because anyone who has been here for any amount of time knows it's not true.

    And I did watch the video. The content of the video is not what bothers me: it's your attempts at starting poo-flinging wars, instead of actually trying to debate and discuss. You shout "fire!" in a theater and then pat yourself on the back for getting people's attention.

    As I stated before, you would be doing yourself, the BBS, and Interwebs in general a favor if you would just go spend more time with your family and less time here.
