Thanks so much for the quality! You're awesome!!!

I hear what you're saying, that death porn shouldn't be what the sift is all about. One video that happens to include someone getting killed doesn't change the Sift into death porn. Just like there's at least one full-on uncensored XXX porn clip that the community has accepted because it was also a good parody, or had a hilarious story or something. I can't remember what the reasoning was.

Death porn is what I think the Sift should avoid. This is not that. Also, I almost never go to Sift Talk, so I wouldn't know what happens there.

I considered everything you said there and still found this video lacking of being Sift-worthy, which is why I downvoted. Everything you mentioned is worthy of discussion... in the Sift Talk section with a link to the video.

Like I said, IMO videos of graphic killings aren't what we should be promoting on the Sift since this is supposed to be a friendly contest to find the best videos on the net. There are plenty of other sites to look at for sensationalist videos.

Exactly. When I wrote, "I'm sure this won't be controversial," I meant I thought people would debate whether the shooter did the right thing in taking him out, or whether she endangered the victom too much. There's tons of content here. This isn't a video of a murder or a suicide. Take the death out and this is still a worthy video.>> ^Confucius:

Oh wow. Open your mind please. Can't believe nobody has mentioned anything about the goldmine that the rest of this video is. I mean...drugged coke bottles...SHE SHOT HIM FOUR TIMES (he went down after the first!)....reckless tactics which are somehow ok....stressing the crap out of the hostage-taker....and more importantly the fact that this 'snuff' film made it onto Chinese news with descriptors like Hero...epic...awesome. Can you imagine this in the US or UK?
You cant let your mind shut down because of the possibility that its a snuff film when there is so much value in this video.
reinforced note to self: Don't ef with the police in China.

Thanks for the quality.

hey thanks for the vote of confidence my man.
while i am loathe to admit it,i am just as susceptable to presumption as the next person but i find if we give that person a chance we can learn so much more about who they actually are.
we are all human after all.
being a gnostic i tend to get flack from not just the secular community but an even more virulent reception from the religious community.

it took a bit of conversing with shiny to understand he was just a true believer and not some wanker looking to stir the wasp nest.

i have found if you listen to what someone says (even if you disagree) and dont outright dismiss their core beliefs,their tone will change to a much softer and palatable discourse.

so much gets lost in text that patience is a must to achieve a better understanding.of course i fail at this as often as i succeed,but i try.

The whole thing is filled with speculation and arguments from incredulity. There is no hard evidence that scripture doesn't mean what it says..there is absolutely no doubt there will be eternal separaration from God because of sins..and very little doubt that it will be eternal conscious torment. Some people think it is destruction and not torment, but after looking at the evidence I have decided there is far more basis to say it is the other way around.

This link is directed mostly @<a rel="nofollow" href="http://videosift.com/member/shinyblurry" title="member since January 21st, 2011" class="profilelink">shinyblurry but is also for anyone who is interested in an analysis of what the different versions/translations of the Bible say about hell/Sheol/Hades. It comes to a similar conclusion as this bishop in the video that the idea of hell as a burning lake isn't supported by scripture.
