Promotion Project / Re: organizing commentators
February 01, 2013, 08:03 PM
I'd do it with someone who could hold up some consistent dialogue.  I have experience like shy, I did radio in high school and did sports broadcast in college, as well as production.  Thought I was going to do it for a career but decided to become a lawyer instead, lol.  Don't want to commentate with someone that can't provide filler.  I've done play-by-play and color, so I could do either.  I think i'd be a good match with someone that can provide in depth analysis, I think id be a good fit with barman, shy, orange, or anus.  I'm serious about this if you need the manpower, its always been a hobby of mine to commentate sports, and this is vaguely close, so it would be good to jump into a little amateur broadcast again.  I think one thing that has been totally missing from the broadcasts is identifying the viewers with the players.  Too many times I've watched a stream where the players in question were just nameless drones to the players.  If even not to commentate, I can offer some pretty good criticism as well, people need to fill out their roles when commentating.  The well produced and organized commentating you see on youtube and television isn't just 2 guys winging it, you take turns. 

Anyways, let me know, this is a passion of mine for sure.  I've really liked what orange has done so far with his channel, and I feel like it could be so much better with just a push in the right direction.

You are all wrong, angus has 3 communities simply because he wanted them.  If you were as good as the great angus, you would have 3 communities too.

Nah, I'm rehab mate. Change of lifestyle, all I got here is free time and I'm stuck here for 3 months. But I'm loving it, haven't been sober for this long for over 5 years I think (except the medication they give me) but the every day-to-day life things are starting to feel so exciting and some inner demons coming out so it's all good.

Plus I have my own room (most dudes here have to share rooms) and I got my lappy and internet, so been hitting the gym HARD (too hard tbh) and eating like a horse (we eat every 3-4 hours) and then just basically working on worms project and playing worms. They are also gonna fix me up with my own apartment within these 3 months so it's all good. Had to leave many friends behind (they drag me down) which is sad kind of, but had to do.

It's alllll goood, and I promise I won't commentate after my sleeping pills anymore hahaha. I was laughing my ass off when I listened some.
Right on, ive done the same thing, ive been off drugs for 7 years now.  I did 6 months in an inpatient rehab before getting an apartment.  Let me know if you have any questions about it, my sobriety from drugs is #1 in my life because things fall apart if i ever got back on the dope again.  Glad to hear you made some good choices, and keep it up bud. :)

What's mainly outrageous is how steadfastly and consistently our government lies to us; the incident was not preceded by protests about the anti-Muslim video, as was first claimed. Granted, there has been outrage over that video, and to hell with people who think we should respect their religious dogma at the cost of free speech, but it was demonstrably not the cause in this case. At first I uncritically accepted the original explanation; we should always be skeptical when the only news source is straight from the administration's mouth.

As far as Hillary Clinton's failure, the blame can't be put squarely on her, and I think this issue is nothing more than another partisan distraction, which both sides absolutely love. As a general rule, the more attention the media gives to an issue, the less important it actually is. Take gun control for example, we could easily be focusing on the misguided drug war instead, as legalizing more drugs would curb gang violence dramatically, but instead we focus on a more superficial issue (which needs addressing, but still). And yeah, we really seem to enjoy propping up dictators in the middle east, so that we can later go to war with them.
The problem I have with the Obama administration is lack of transparency.  Obama is one of the slickest back-door operators we have seen in the oval office.  To his credit he is an amazing politician, despite taking accountability or culpability in anything, instead criticism seems to slide right off of him.  The idea that he would have been able to get through the whole Clinton situation without throwing her under the bus is amazing.  He knew he didn't want to lose the Clinton support and somehow stood by her and her people.  I also see this as a partisan distraction, seems like a copout to me though, that can be used as a universal defense for anything and everything.  Hillary was simply left alone by the democrats because anyone who is anyone on capitol hill knows that you can't shake a stick at anything Clinton if you want to go anywhere politically. 

As for religion, there is a cut and dry reason for another couple of centuries of infighting on the strip.  I don't see the jews and muslims cohabiting the holy land, so I think people are just going to have to accept that the battle of religion is going to be fought there for a very long time.  I think most of the focus in the region has to be shifted to possibly imperialistic countries like Iran.  Iran is a menace to the region because of the ruling party and their nuclear program.  Netanyahu isn't dumb enough to resort to a nuclear solution, he just holds it above the other countries' heads as an ultimate threat.  He knows the most powerful ally he has, the US, deserts him the instant he resorts to nuclear weapons.  Ahmadinejad, I am not so sure he plays by the same rules as Israel.  Ultimately, I don't see Iran using a nuclear weapon, but the threat of one is very real.

I feel the US should consider withdrawing from embassies throughout the middle east, and strongly discourage its citizens from  traveling to certain countries.  There is little reason to maintain a presence in certain places and risk more American lives.  The embassies do a world of good for relations and protecting American citizens, but im not sure the good outweighs the bad at this point.

Off Topic / Re: Iran has launched monkey into space

Man thats f@#!ed up, it looks like they made his "seat" out of a wall bracket and a roll of foam, then just crudely strapped him in.  Compare to this:

And that was the first primate manned spaceflight in 1969, over 40 years ago.  Iran's space program is ghetto, I'd hate to be an actual cosmonaut.  They would probably try and bolt down a lazyboy with an automobile seatbeat for the launch.
