POPSClipmarks Rollcall After skwirl and mousie have argued that we need a Roll Call. I thought I'd make one. But given I'm too lazy, I've left it upon the community to build one. Every REAL Clipper POP this so that we know you exist (Yes Mr. Daniel you must POP this too). So POP away.

POPSThe way it's going to be on clipmarks.com I've done a lot of talking and writing lately about the type of environment we're trying to create here on clipmarks. I hope/think that i've been very clear. I know i've given it a great deal of thought. Please click through to the source and read the entire blog post to know where i stand. I want to be 100% clear. I am going to begin disabling accounts of users who i feel consistently violate the spirit of what this is all about.

POPSHoly Warriers Set Sights on Iran Check out some of our fellow clipper's comments: "Willhelm, there is no stopping this war. The players are all falling into place. At least we know how it will end." "i agree this could be the final piece to the beginning of armagaddon" "but in the book of revelation and some other books in the new and old testament percieve the bear of the North or the great bear as Russia! Russia is in no way to be taken lightly."

POPSMuslims Are Good Folks The only real solution is education and broad experience. It seems to me that God creates individuals one at a time, and it is the human mind that insists on grouping and classifying them. We should resist that temptation.

POPSAnd she's not talking about Bush... Either she hasn't been giving this advice to her own boss or he hasn't been listening. In this case, she's referring to Russia and the concentration of power in the Kremlin.

POPSLink more easily to Clipmarks search results Just a quick note for anyone wanting an easier way to link to search results pages. Simply wrap the term in double square brackets term ] ], and the comments parser will now turn it into a link. I had a few minutes free today, and skiff had suggested it, so we added it. (hint: see source for more bbcode tips, like how you can do the same with links to clipper pages) Enjoy the weekend!

POPSHappy Anniversary, bignosemousie! I think I can speak for the entire clipmunity that it has been an absolute pleasure to clip with you for the past year. Your fun, thoughtful, compassionate contributions are part of what makes Clipmarks so great. So here's looking forward to many more mousie-full years of your presence! :)

POPSWhy hate Gore? Granted, giving Gore the Nobel Prize may well be a political stunt somewhat out of proportion with the relevance of his actions. On the other hand humorless extreme conservatives have even more distorted notion of Gore. Their obsessive hatred of him is even more surreal than the hype. Why do they care so much about him? Why froth at the mouth over just one politician? Klugman provides some interesting answers, but also seems a little to simplistic. I have long been puzzeled on the vhemence with which conservatives react against environmentalism, and I don't think its as simple as pure greed.

POPSSo.....Just For the Fun of It, I'm Pulling Myself Out of the Competition Besides, now I would have to put in twice as much time. So, having been informed by management that my pops for other clippers has been limited, I decided to find out why. It seems that I have been "dominating the site" and having a "disproportionate affect" on it. Since I really have no other choice in the matter, I decided to play along. So meet the new Dominatrix of your favorite web site and have fun everyone.

POPSTake responsibility for your words Interesting blog entry on using non-offensive language. I recommend that interested Clippers read the entire entry. I found it thought provoking, especially the part about "gay" and "retarded" being lazy adjectives. Why use them except to be insulting? Why are those words used as insults? It seems strange to me that some people wouldn't dream of using "gay" as an insult but feel free to use "retarded" as a synonym for "stupid."

POPSTime to scrub the scum from the bottom of the barrel Normally I don't make clips of other clippers, especially the ignorant, abusive or stupid, but considering that we have had 7 long years of this filth, it is time we stood up and said: SHOVE IT! Just because you have no self-respect doesn't mean we have to put up with your stupidity. I now expect more of this coming from the viral elements of American society. Brace yourself, it will get ugly.

POPSHappy Birthday Kore7 Jason is one of my favorite Clippers. We don't agree on anything and he's so nice about it. Happy Birthday!

POPSIn the eye of the beholder. Anyone interested in forming an informal art club on CM? No great aims. Post a picture. Ask others what they think about it - what they see. Tell them what you think about it - what you see. We all try to broaden our minds on many subjects; this is just another.

POPSShabby, Cheap US Politician "Have Blood on their Hands" not Iran
"The claims that Ahmadinejad denies the Holocaust and has called for the destruction of Israel are false. He has called for regime change, which is something American politicians do every time they find a country whose policies they disagree with. Regime change is a change of government, not genocide. As for the Holocaust, he said it raised two questions: Why put people in prison who question details of the official version, which is what several European countries do. Why should the Palestinians be made to pay for it? Both are good questions. "How American politicians can call Iran a dangerous country and claim that it poses a threat to the U.S. is a mystery. On second thought, it is not a mystery. It just tells you that the politicians think you and I are so stupid that we will fall for the exact same parade of lies and exaggerations that was used to justify the war against Iraq. "Think for yourself. Iran has no nuclear weapons, and its military is designed for defence. It has

POPSDecorum on Clipmarks Is the use of sexual slang against those who you oppose politically now tolerated behavior on Clipmarks? Theses are just some of the clips with the term used in the title.

POPSClipmarks: NO REASON AT ALL NEEDED TO DELETE COMMENTS This was the thread that led to my asking Clipmarks for clarification on their comment deletion policy. It's official. {{Antara}}, and any clipper, is allowed to delete any comment on clips they initiate, for any reason or none at all. I personally maintain a "No personal attacks against other clippers" policy as my only reason for censoring comments. But if I just don't like you, your politics, your hair-color, your religion, your ethnicity, sexual orientation, your city of birth, the facts you offer... I can delete your comments, no consequences. The deletion pop-up reads Please only remove comments that appear to be spam or that you believe to be unquestionably outside the bounds of civility. But that's only a suggestion. I think this will lead to less discussion and a even more negativity and hostility between clippers, and I do hope Clipmarks reconsiders.

POPSEwwwww, sorry, but I'll pass... I haven't had a full blown cold in 4 years, ever since I swore off the flu shots and religiously started using Zicam and vitamin D. As long as I start with the zinc therapy & mega-dose D within the first day or two of symptoms. But, if I DO get a cold, sorry, I'm going to blow my nose versus letting it flow down my face.

POPSThe logic of a leftist Get this...Chestnut will move to a place where there are no jobs to receive public assistance instead of moving to a place where there are jobs to get off public assistance. Just a reminder why welfare doesn't work.

POPSI Took The First Step Life is way too short for those who thrive on negativity or trolls here on CM. I've had my fill of those who make snide personal remarks, and I intend to not try to reason with those whose minds are already full of hate and bitterness. They have their followers. What I'm interested in doing is putting out the message to people who aren't so rigid and who are interested in actually learning. That is what I believe CM is all about. :)

POPSReally? You don't need facts, just a low IQ
The free market never does anything right, does it? If you have to pay $500.00 for a 200.00 airline ticket...thank a union member. If you are stuck in traffic for 2 hours in what should be a 45 minute commute because there is a road project that has taken 3 years and still is not completed, which should have taken 4 or 5 months...Thank a Union member. If you find the productive traditions of your nation being sucked away by third-world countries, because the cost of paying someone 28 dollars an hour to glue a sticker on an automobile - plus another 40 dollars an hour cost to the company, blame a union member. If your country is being ransacked by fascist thugs and greedy materialists who care not one iota for a particular company, just whatever they can control or steal...thank a union member. If state funds are depleted because trade shops keep their members on unemployment for 40% of the year, which results in staggering costs to taxpayers, then thank a union member.
