Well, thanks for sharing your views on things and his views on things.<br /><br />Chomsky says that once people behave nicely, then they won't need a government. This may turn out to be true in some future time.<br /><br />Here is where we differ: he says it should stick around until people are nice and rational enough for it to be gone. Maybe even strengthen the government in the meantime. My point is that I am skeptical of this. I think doing this might actually push the end goal further away.<br /><br />First, I think it is fair to say that government is a concept, as opposed to something absolute, like a person, rock, tree, etc.<br /><br />I would say it is a concept of how humans should interact. They do of course have local differences, but there is always or almost always a set series of similarities between them, including a law creator class, which is sometimes the same as the ruler class, an enforcer class. Usually, there are other classes, most typically a war class and a propaganda class.<br /><br />Now, the reason why they are powerful is because people assume they have legitimacy. Why do people typically think this? Because people are raised that way as children to think that way.<br /><br />So even if government buildings are destroyed and armies demolished, politicians and bureaucrats killed, then more people will step in to fill those roles so long as enough people in an area believe that they are needed.<br /><br />So once believe in legitimacy of government is dead, then government will also be dead.

While I know how much contention there is over site design, and how fond of various designs over the years people have been, it's frankly not worth the work. If I'm going to spend 40+ hours on development I'd rather it go to bug fixing and feature-adding or cleanup than adding another theme.<br /><br />With the last major update I made a templating system that would theoretically allow a user to choose a specific theme, and I had the intention at one point of backporting themes, but it never became a priority.<br /><br />Another issue is that when I change/fix/add/remove something, I'd have to do it in every theme, multiplying my work. I'd be pleased to give people both the current templates, and say, the templates from 5 years ago and they can try to port them over, but

Kids, there's nothing more cool than having a website you like. But if someone tries to use it in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, that's no good! It's your website. No one has the right to use it if you don't want them to. So what do you do? First, you say: "It’s kind of crazy how much time I spent on something that I sometimes didn’t understand and sometimes hated. People would upload child porn and make death threats and people uploaded other people’s addresses. I think the people who are still using it regularly are like people with mental problems." Then, you get out of there! Most important, you gotta tell someone you trust, like Gizmodo.

If common consensus from you guys would say that I've ripped something off... let me know now and I'll do the right thing and delete this.

Thought it would have something to do with Devil May Cry...

4... would get a 5 if you could do something after the "I am your father"

Hm. I was wondering when any part of Do the Evolution would make it. Nice. I'd give something a little more frightening ofr the music, though.

If it was an actual picture of the girl, or a drawing that looked SOMETHING like the girl...and had audio that had SOMETHING to do with her or the movies/books, then mabye it would have gotten a higher rating.

Maybe you do have a slow computer, it would be more funny if you put some amazing specs in the background like from dxdiag or something.

 (5.00)

Funny but from SA BUT funny, WHAT TO DO. This sounds like something a SA reader would write though.

Where would we be without this? Most likely doing something more productive, but f*ck that.

 (2.00)

I would have given you a three if it wasn't for the "disturbing image" comment. If that's disturbing, then what do you call something like goatse?

 (5.00)

LOL!! WHO'D OF THOUGHT BAT MAN DOING SOMETHING SO f*ckED UP WOULD BE SO DAMN FUNNY

 (0.00)

Wow, that sucks. Maybe if the audio was funny and had something to do with Superman raping the boy people would find it amusing. The picture sucks too, you can obviously tell you used paint to black out what they were saying. Sucks to be you.

Heh i tried to do something with lasers and lights but i figured simplicity would be nice

 (5.00)

yess!! nintendo actually would be doing something right for once

4 for effort and YTMND standard conformity, -1 for me thinking it would have something to do with StarCraft.

Oh, and about the spam. I know I was doing it. But with all the worthless sh*t that's succesful on ytmnd these days, I thought it would be nice for people to see something better. My goal was to get as many people here as possible, and if you're reading

well i guess since you are randomly downrating my ytmnds now that gives me incentive to do that to yours, btw your the only guy that would notice something like that on the screen in this ytmnd good day moron :-)

 (5.00)

Wow. They really do look alike. Nice sound clip. Would've way preferred something to do with scissors and purple worms, though. Nevertheless, 5.

 (1.00)

... Sure, mine probably suck, but so do yours. And if I were going to kill myself based on someone's opinion of something I put ZERO time, effort or thought into, I would have offed myself more than a decade ago. Besides, I didn't SAY you were an idiot,

 (2.00)

would be better if this awesome game actually had something to do with swedish porn and brian peppers

 (5.00)

sounds like something my folks would joke about but not do, nice lol

 (3.00)

I agree,it would be alot better if he was doing something scarier.

 (3.00)

I miss the part where this has anything to do with killing YTMND. But because you're taking a top 5 spot where something that really IS killing YTMND would have been, I won't 1 you.

 (1.00)

it'll slow it down until people want to do something else (ie. 1-2 days?) just wish we would have shrugged our shoulders; that's just my opinion ...

Big difference between doing something creative with something that wasn't originally yours and simply taking it and slapping on a watermark. If he had changed it, made it funnier somehow.. I would have been HAPPY to see it there.

"I have the email done do I send it? yes or no" - It's not illegal to send an email, so I don't think Max would mind... Just don't sign it with something like "~from YTMND" or "in the name of YTMND!"

Eric Bauman was not stupid. He tried to fuel the attacks with his petty taunts, IE, page changes etc in an attempt to say "See, look I can sue these *ssholes now". He was hoping Max would lose his cool and do or say something stupid but figured out Max

I swore I would never do something like this but, since there aren't too many TPB ytmnds; 5'd.
