I think he made his point. An ad is an ad - it doesn't provide facts and figures. HE said himself it wasn't being used as an informative media, which, at first I thought he was. Hence my initial agreement with GL.

He was simply trying to draw in others to his site at the end. That should be the focus - whether that was effective or not.

 

It certainly drove gameloading and sepher into attack mode -- thus it was pretty effective :)

Yes well, screw them its nothing new for lefties to attack.  I would be more concerned with how effective it would be to get more people active that agree with the statements being made.  I would rather see the right attack and start to make a difference and I didn't get the feeling from the vid to do just that. 

I will say that the Pink Floyd kinda kills my drive to do anything. 


 

No need to be dismissive. The debt is America's problem, not the right or the left. I merely suggest you offer solutions rather than lobbing complaints as if the complaints themselves are somehow partisan. We ALL have an interest in eliminating the debt. We simply disagree about how to do it. So why not devote some of your effort into bringing up solutions that you yourself support?

How about starting with the current hot topic, health care reform, Zind? If you believe what's currently pitched won't help curtail the costs of our entitlement programs and thus control our yearly deficits and create something sustainable, what do you propose? Drop Medicare and Social Security all together? Do something else?

Don't try and associate a common problem all Americans share as something specific to ideology or this party or that party. If you have any desire at all to be respectful, then understand its all of our concerns.

How about a genuine debate on the solutions for your site, Zind? Just a tip.

 

If you had anything worth engaging inside you, like a soul -- you would be worth more than dismissal. Unfortunately you are little more than an uneducated automaton. Fun for a moment of play and little more.

Nah I was bright and light and shining, until you, one of the few truly evil people who post here, raised his wretched head again. Turn your cheek all you want -- I'm just stating basic facts about what you are.

I'm still pretty light and smiling -- even though as usual you are beginning to bore me. Such is the banality of evil.

"Ah. Makes sense then."

Oh and here is the FIRST personal attack made in the thread. Of course it was a coward's personal attack (such as to be expected from you), but it was a personal attack nonetheless.

Not sure what has you so riled up, Fisher. I haven't personally attacked you at all. I merely said I wasn't going to take serious anything political stated by people who'd consider facts and figures as secondary or not relevant at all, even in the OP's "ad". What'd you take personal from that?

I get that you felt like attacking me personally though by calling me a blithering idiot, soulless, evil, etc.; but I have no motivation whatsoever to retaliate. I don't even post here as frequently as I once did to be honest, so I don't know where that apparent anger came from.

You attacked me and Dekron personally. No need to lie about it just because you did so as the coward you are. I'm not the least bit riled up.

No anger, you simply disgust me. I don't get angry with evil. I simply call it what it is.

 

Here is the attack, just t show how you lied again:

"That said, I know how serious to take some of you now. Well, I already knew, but that's the first time the reasons not to were made so obvious."

Pure attack. Done in a cowardly way, of course, but an attack plain and simple.

Well I apologize for your feeling attacked by my saying I wouldn't take you serious whenever facts and figures are secondary here, but quite honestly I thought that was a perfectly reasonable though. If I ever disavow the need for facts and figures, do feel free to not take me serious if you feel so inclined. I'll remember though that this one is a no-no for you though.

I'll leave you to those feelings of yours, however you'd describe them, I won't risk offending you again by calling them this or that, but if theres anything I can do to help you sort any of them out, do feel free to PM me.

I don't want to derail the thread any further though, so I'll only be responding to things related to the original topic from this point on. Take it easy, good sir.

Just saw the edit. 

No need to explain, good sir. If you insist it was an attack, who am I to describe to you what you felt, and what was an attack and what was insulting to you? I wouldn't dare do such. I've apologized for the 'not taking you serious' thing. If it ever comes up again, I'll reword my opinion on how I feel about facts and figures being excluded in such a situation. Sounds good?

It didn't bother me, didn't upset me at all. It just showed once again what a piece of garbage you are. No biggie either way. You are what you are.

Just doomsday preaching with some images,

The video is very right indeed.

But nevermind that. Keep telling yourself that a video with no facts and a bunch of pictures make for an informative video.

Everything he said in that video is fact.

Hell yeah I want the largest economy in the world to fail! Because it would do wonders for the globe! Everyone who is not a US citizen want the US to fail! Yeah up UN! Down with US!

Haha you guys are a hoot. I thought the video was pretty shit btw, I don't care if it didn't have facts or figures it bored me and the text was difficult to read. I did check out your site, goodluck with that. I'm not saying you're viewpoint is wrong either.

Criticism: Fix the text somehow, and more dramatic music.

The leftie is right though, you do need to put in some facts and figures.  Notice the leftie doesn't say anything to the contrary about what your saying, they can't argue that, so they will attack whatever else they can. 

Your text is too hard to read, the color does not stand out on some backgrounds.

I have no idea about this but I'm wondering, are you breaking any copyright by playing Pink Floyd in the background? 

Good vid.  We can always use another person preaching the truth since it gets corrupted so much these days. 


 

I sure if I kept reading you may have addressed this, but throwing in some facts and figs would elevate the overall message and also some work around solutions would have been nice.  I mean you were basically "preaching to the choir".

What are you guys talking about with the with the text, I didn't think it was that hard to read?

I love Pink Floyd -

Not a bad movie Zin.  I have to agree with some of the criticism though.  Perhaps just some basic numbers like what the debt is (include the underfunded programs to for extra impact) and what that means to each person (almost 200k debt per person.  Perhaps make a sarcastic picture of a baby with a caption "I was born yesterday and am already in 200k debt to the government").  No need to remake the one you have done, but I'm sure you see the value in making several ads and making a series out of them :)

 

Instead of making it a flame thread lets give Zin some things we think could make future ads even better!

So here's a recap of mine:

Give some figures about the debt, use a baby picture w/ caption perhaps?

Keep up the good work :)

I have never said that I never attack people or insult them. I merely don't need to do so. However there are some people, like you and sepher, that have disqualified yourself from civil discourse through you past behavior. he is MUCH worse than you. You are merely ignorant and passionate -- he is a creep.

Once a person has crossed the line too many times, like him, that is all he gets from me.

You however are on the cusp, and I think you arrogant attitude is endearing. I enjoy you, and have high hopes for you. You actually believe in personal freedom, but not economic freedom. Eventually, you will go one way or the other. You will either learn that economic freedom is integral to personal freedom, or you will reject both freedoms.

You are still worth working with.

You have to admit though, it's pretty funny watching Fisher flame people. What I want to know is why Sepher is evil?

I enjoy being free to flame people occasionally as well -- being a guy who plays by the rules, I like the liberty here now. As to why I think sepher is evil, that would involve bringing up things that actually disturbed me on this forum that he did, and I don't want to go there again. As far as I am concerned he said some disgusting things that crossed the line -- not just to me, but to others as well. I gave him the benefit of the doubt for a long time, but he blew it time and again.

I am done with him as far as I am concerned, like a couple of other people here. I realized he isn't really here to debate, just to be a piece of garbage. He just likes to use the anonymity of the internet to hurt others.
