The ads are a deal I believe, between YouTube and iTunes, in order to direct business. You're listening to a song by say.......Goldfrapp and an ad will appear letting you know you can buy the song in iTunes. I like what they want to do with that, I just wish they'd find a less obnoxious way of instituting it. The best thing I can tell you is watch your tags. There's no rhyme or reason behind why some videos are still allowed up and why others are not. If you tag the video with words that have nothing to do with the video, you might be able to escape getting it flagged. Other than that, if there's a copyright infringement, they legally have to either remove the video or disable the audio.

I had no problem discerning it was her opinion about 384739847298439 posts ago. So why it took you so long to catch up is a different story.

Not to carry this inanity on any longer than it needs to, but if for example we're having a discussion about Led Zeppelin's albums and I say, "In Through The Out Door is not that good as compared to other albums they released".....shouldn't it be obvious to all and sundry that I am stating my opinion? If I was stating a fact, I would post some links, some numbers, an article.....something that would back up what I'm saying, as that's what you do when stating a fact. When stating an opinion, you merely say it and then see if people either agree with you or disagree with you. Jumping down someone's throat because they didn't post a disclaimer before a statement that was clearly an opinion is just you (universal "you") looking for an argument.

ldw......you can succumb to Twilight as long as you don't become a Twihard. You know those people.....the ones who would use a special Twilight dildo. I read about that on Dlisted. I couldn't believe it.

I must admit, as much as I read and watch and listen to on this subject, I have not heard of that until now. What specifically is the "nuclear option" and is there an article online somewhere so I can get more acquainted on the subject?

Don't be down. Helen, don't say that. You contribute so much to all threads, not just the musical ones.

Holy shit, that's more talking points than I thought could be crammed into one post. THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE GOVERNMENT OF SCOTLAND. He could stamp his feet, yell and scream and throw things until the cows came home, at the end of the day the decision rested with the government of Scotland and the government of Scotland alone. Maybe you're one of those people who think the President of the United States should be able to make some pronouncement from the White House and everyone merely runs at his bidding when he snaps his fingers. It doesn't work that way. There was absolutely NOTHING the United States could have done to prevent this from happening, short of some kind of armed insurrection. Hey, maybe that's what you were looking for. To call the President of the United States un-American because he doesn't have the thought-making processes of the last guy is absolutely asinine. You wouldn't know what an un-American was if it slapped you in your Rush O'Hannity listener face.

What would you like Obama and/or the US government to do? It WAS a mistake. Obama did not lie when he said that. However, Scotland is not in our jurisdiction, we have no authority to usurp THEIR authority, we can't make them overturn the decision and bring the guy back. The Scottish government made a decision the US has been on record saying they do not agree with. That's the most we can do. Unless you want us to pretend Scotland is Iraq and invade or something. Because short of sending troops into Edinburgh, we can't do jack squat.

Syd WAS gorgeous. Dark eyes, dark curly hair....smudged eyeliner....very emo hipster before there was such a thing as an emo hipster. In 1968, give me a Gilmour/Barrett sandwich and I'm a happy gal!

If the Democrats were truly trying to ram anything through Congress, they certainly are having difficulty aiming, wouldn't you say? There's no single version of any bill on the floor of either house and Obama, at least as far as I've read, has been trying to work with Republicans on some compromises to make it easier for it to get through, when there actually IS a single, finished version to speak of. The way some people make it sound, it's damn near to his desk already. That would be ramming it through. He doesn't want to do that. Again, not that I've read and not that I've heard.

No, I think yours is okay. I agree about the poems, though. I never understood why you need to say that much. I have a picture, and then 4 lines of text.

Obnoxious is right. If your signature takes up the space that 2-3 posts would take, it's too big. I don't think mine is too big. At least I hope not.

I cannot watch that infomercial without breaking into hysterical laughter.

BTW, as I recall it, what happened was Mr. ShamWow decided to procure a lady of the evening for his nightly pleasure (which is perfectly fine with me) and in the process of enjoying the lady's charms, he decided to kiss her. Well, you know the rule - you never kiss a hooker on the mouth and she bit down on his tongue and would not let go. So while he hit her, he was hitting her to get her to let go of his tongue. Tell me you wouldn't do the same thing if someone was biting down on your tongue and not letting up. How else are you going to get the person to let go - it's not like you can tell them to.

I love the ShamWow! guy. He's hilarious AND he took on the Church of Scientology and lived to tell about it. That alone means he's got huevos made out of brass. You don't mess with those people, they're like the Mafia - they'll neutralize you.

If it's telling you the picture is too big, you need to re-size the image or find a smaller one. Sam might have instituted signature limits.

HAHA, aww that was cute Steve. I love when you try to be indignant. Do that thing where you stamp your feet and shake your tiny fists in impotent rage again. BTW, you calling someone a naive simpleton is the epitome of the pot calling the kettle black. Rather than using this as an opportunity to critique the government in Scotland who allowed this and the government in Libya who are accepting him back, you choose to do what exactly? Oh right, bash Obama when he's not involved in any way, shape or form. You are just too precious.

Oh yes, I do agree. He looks handsome in basically every picture though. I think he knew he was the hot one, at least secretly.

I don't see what liberal/conservative has to do with this, as it's my understanding that political parties and ideologies in the UK are different than those in the US. Furthermore, the US is not backing up this decision. Being a liberal or agreeing with liberal policies doesn't mean you agree with 100% of them 100% of the time. I'm a liberal and I don't agree with this at all. Don't turn this into a "let's bash the liberals" thread when there's zero need for it.

A lot of much larger high schools had larger graduating classes, I'm aware of that. However for my school, 120+ in the senior class was a lot. It saddens me how much that school dropped off, because it was a damn good school.

It's like on Facebook. If you put something there, someone who checks out your profile will see it. It's a fun doo-dad.

Ah, so you fancy yourself a god, eh Steve? Delusions of grandeur.....check.

LOL! I love Sanford & Son.

I've had second dates too, especially since I have been in a 6 year relationship before. Just because that idiot wasn't worthy of my time doesn't mean it's on me - if he'd been remotely human maybe I'd have been more inclined to see him again. But nice try, Sparky.
