Liberal's attack Dorito's for humanizing a fetu's

Yes, except his grammar improves dramatically when he plagiarizes. Here's the Youtube post title:
NARAL Attacks Doritos for Humanizing a Fetus | ZoNation


His thread titles are just the titles of videos he posts with no other commentary than "good stuff." Then later when someone who has wasted precious minutes of their life watching some emotional propaganda questions something in the video it's all "I can't remember now...."

Not that it's going to make any difference, but I wish Lee would stop watching and start reading. I don't even care what he reads, the Book of Mormon, some wingnut tome, ideally a study Bible----but just slowing down and re-learning how to process text, how to think and not just emotionally react----I can't help but think it would do him a world of good both physically and mentally.

Agreed. The slowing down aspect is significant. I was troubled by the slaphappy announcement of 50 tabs open, and the enthusiastic 'I'm a genius at this'. Looking at it from an attention spectrum viewpoint, that quick mental high of opening another tab then another, and another, on and on, is the mobility-challenged version of an adrenaline-junky flying off for their next high.

Even printing off an article and reading it all the way through in a quiet location would be preferable to uninterrupted shiny-object internet surfing.

Stop smearing Sarah Palin! : )

Palin is self-smearing. Nobody can screw with her reputation more than she does. She is ugliness incarnate.

I'm not going to criticize the guy for using what he has available and what is affordable, however...what I have a problem with is the posting of a youtube title (in place of a thread title) only to open the post, find a link with a brief intro that consists of (this thread) "Well said..."

That's not even enough of a hook to get me interested in using the link.

I need to know something about what the poster thinks of the video in terms of specifics. Unless it's a Stones video, then I don't care what the poster says.
