I say we should ban everyone and start over. Dag and Lucky can morph into one Borg-hybrid of Siftbot. Choggie can rule with an iron slate and a blank fist. KP can TP the Sift Chat. Ant can lord over us with his six phalanges of downvote doom.
Netrunner can vulcanize the rubber stamps and get things moving, but only to the left. Rottenseed can go fuck himself, and we can all upvote the video of it while making funny comments that give us 15 one-handed claps from a masturbatory gwiz.
Issy and DFT can scratch the catnip towers and watch the servers melt into Three-Eleven oblivion yet again, while civilizations and civilized discourse are marred and scarred by Captain Planet, or is it Picard?
Zif can nab another top spot on the chutes and ladders of successful upvotes, while Farhad finds 2000 obscure references to cop culture, or enough to bring MG back home from the clutter of Middle Eastern oil sputtering derricks a-plenty.
All the while, thinker can leave on his socialist left-turn blinker, long enough to make QM sardonic, don't you think? It's like raining men on your traditional wedding day.
Ban them all, I say! Ban them all and let Dag sort them out. Sayeth the Lard, I can haz Amenz?
Saw this as I was taking a ride.....around the Internet and thought I would share as I absolutely fell in love with this house. I am in the wrong business, but that is soon going to be rectified.
Go to the above URL, read the blurb, click the link. Note that the first part is not available, but parts 2-9 are there. I'm a little concerned dl'ing this and YouTubing (and subsequently sifting) it because the Stones have apparently sued to keep this doc unreleased since it was made it '72. Anyway, it's grainy and the audio isn't very good, but you can get a feel for the utter hedonistic bubble they lived in at the time. Parts of it are very NSFW (drugs, sex).

kulpims, or Roman as he's called in real life, has had to go through a lot to get to this coveted emerald. Besides getting banned for self-linking, he gets attacked by fellow sifters for being from Eastern Europe and being a dope fiend.
Having overcome these obstacles with a great sense of humour and a great taste in videos and music (especially jazz), it gives me great pleasure to congratulate you on reaching this milestone! Kulpims is a really nice guy who tells a lot of great stories, everything from dancing naked on tables in bars, having 10+ stray cats in his backyard or organising music festivals in his native country. Roman is also the unofficial *dupeof king of the sift and keeps everything running smoothly by downvoting blankfist's cat fart vids (I told you he had good taste).
Whoever said drug addicts are unmotivated eh? CONGRATS to one of my favourite sifters and make sure ya'll visit his pqueue!
... I just saw a beautiful sift of Nuriev dancing Le Corsier (sp? because i'm drunk), and it occurred to me: what an amazing thing that I can sift something from a 9 to a 10 and bring it to a wider audience and hopefully expose them to something so unlikely in the grand scheme of the universe... just beautiful...
... It got me to thinking. If by some chance we were to find a way to overcome the rules of physics and communicate with other intelligence across the universe and set up an "internet" that went beyond our planet... can you imagine the absolutely amazing, unlikely and wonderful things that we would sift? Could we possibly imagine the insanity of sifting something from 9 to 10 that just goes beyond anything in our conception of our own cultures?
Sorry, drunk and feeling inspired by the sift and all that it brings to me on a daily basis... I swear, if my financial situation improves, I'll become a charter member on a subscription, because the sift is a wonderful wonderful thing...
More than two years after joining the sift, Norsu finally got his Gold 100. I can only assume he was too busy driving his rally car, playing hockey or getting drunk to reach this milestone earlier.
Norsu is a big fan of magic it seems. So go work some magic on his pqueue whydontcha?!
Girls and boys, women and men, y'all give it up for this fine eclectic active mind-expanding rising star Ollie O. a.k.a. EndAll!!! Still some videos waiting is his PQ.. Cheers! (echoing in space)..
In March 1995, the WHO and UNICRI announced the publication of the results of a global study on cocaine. Information had been collected in 22 cities and 19 countries about the use of the coca leaf and its derivatives, its effects on consumers and the community as a whole, and the answers of the governments concerned to the cocaine problem. Preparations for the research began in 1991. Over more than two years, three sub-projects were developed which "proposed to collect up-to-date information about cocaine at regional and national levels." The study was never published despite being "the largest study ever on cocaine use."
Reference to the study can be found in the UNICRI (United Nations Interregional Institute of Crime Investigation) library, where it is still marked as "RESTRICTED" [1]
The Director of the PSA, Hans Emblad, sent a copy of the Briefing Kit to the United Nations Drugs Control Programme (UNDCP), where it caused a sensation. Two months later, on 9 May 1995 in Commission B of the forty-eighth General Health Assembly, the destiny of these years of labour was determined by the intervention of the representative of the United States of America, Mr Boyer. He expressed his government's concern with the results of this study: "which seem to make a case for the positive uses of cocaine, claiming that use of the coca leaf did not lead to noticeable damage to mental or physical health, that the positive health effects of coca leaf chewing might be transferable from traditional settings to other countries and cultures and that coca production provides financial benefits to peasants".
The representative said that his government considered suspending funds to WHO research if "activities related to drugs failed to reinforce proven drug control approaches." In reply, the representative of the Director General defended the study claiming it was "an important and objective analyses done by the experts", which "represented the views of the experts, and did not represent the stated policy position of the WHO, and WHO's continuing policy, which was to uphold the scheduling under the convention." It was not the intention to publish the study in its current form, the representative explained as it might lead to "misunderstanding." The debate concluded with agreement on a peer review by "genuine experts."
"The United States Government considered that, if WHO activities relating to drugs failed to reinforce proven drug control approaches, funds for the relevant programmes should be curtailed. In view of the gravity of the matter, he asked the Director-General for an assurance that WHO would dissociate itself from the conclusions of the study and that, in substance abuse activities, an approach would not be adopted that could be used to justify the continued production of coca."
Peer review is a fundamental part of every scientific study, including those of the WHO. The timeline set for the peer review procedure was programmed in the terms of reference as to be concluded by 30 September 1997. In fact, from March 1995, names of potential researchers were listed and, in accordance with procedure, sent to the US National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) in charge of selecting the candidates. Over the course of almost two years, an intensive fax exchange took place whereby the PSA proposed names and NIDA answered by refusing each and every one of them.
There has been no formal end to this 'Cocaine Initiative'. The majority of the participating scientists never heard what was done with their work.[2]
The document was obtained by the unaligned think tank, the Transnational Institute.
Hey guys, in honor of alcohol winning the majority vote in this poll by Throbbin, I've decided to sift three fantastic songs celebrating everyone's favorite drug.
that means "hurry up, I'm getting bored inside" rules are: copy the string of numbers ^on top^, go to the matrix: http://lab.andre-michelle.com/tonematrix right-click and paste the string inside the 16X16 square grid. listen. got it? now, make your own - then right-click again, copy your string and post it here, so we can hear you!
... more inside ... So today I went to Georgia Tech to start my transfer ball rolling. After that, I came home and had a nice relaxing day with the gf. A friend of mine was turning 21, so we went to Taco Mac in Decatur, a 25 minute drive from downtown. Luckily I was chosen to be DD for the night. Around 2, we get back to Atlanta. My gf decided it was time to go home, and Marta closes about 1, so I am charged to drive another 30minutes*2 to take her to her car. gdgdgd, i was already irritated. Everyone had gone back to my house to finish the night. Back in downtown, I was about a mile from my house, getting off of the interstate, when I saw an unfortunate soul in the middle of the intersection of Moreland and Memorial with an old chrysler van bleeding oil on the road and with the airbags deployed. I pulled over to see if I could help. Enter Mel: Mel, a 42 year old, overweight, bearded, tattooed musician, riding about a 5 on the sketchy scale, had "hit a pothole." His car was crippled; he was piss ass fuck shit damn titty "drunk." I helped him push his car to the nearby gas station then offered him a ride home. As it turned out, he lived about 30 minutes north of Atlanta. For clarity, I was in constant correspondence with my girlfriend, though in retrospect, bad idea. Our ride North consisted of his constant thanks and pondering repayment (he only had a benjamin, and I only had a million dollar bill that the nice evangelists had given me in the park). I really wasn't concerned about it. He also could not half of what we spoke about, and about 3 miles from his house, decided he needed a Natty, which he pulled from his mysterious bag (which i am extremely suspect of). I dropped him off at HIS MOTHER'S house, drew a map of where his car was, and returned home again. On top of this, 75-S was blocked on all lanes. I don't know why, but I had to find my way home halfway on back roads. I come home to my belligerent room mate on the couch watching SG-1, who then proceeds to tell me that Wes, the recently 21, had had quite the eventful night. Wes' night consisted of getting drunk at Taco Mac, then coming back to my house. Once here, he drank more. Next, he found gasoline on the back porch (wtf, why?) and decided it would be fun to play with. He then found my shirt, drying on the porch, and decided to combine them. He also decided that my sandwich supplies (ham, turkey, cheese, lettuce, and where the hell is the mayo!?) did not have enough shit/crap/poop/literal feces in them; so he did what any decent American would do, and shat in the tupperware, then distributed the remains about my neighbor's and my back yard (my back yard belonging to the people downstairs). Also, the mop was in too few pieces, so Wes made sure that was promptly fixed as well.
I am shrugging it off now, and will soon have help coping with the tremendous toll this night has had on me. If you've gotten this far, I commend you, and apologize for wasting your time.
Now that I got that out of the way, I just wanted to let you know I'm gonna go on an indefinite hiatus from the sift. Maybe I'll be back, maybe not. I'm not having fun anymore. It's not you, it's me. You see, there's another site that I've found and we have so much fun together and it fulfills me in so many of the ways you couldn't...just kidding.
Seriously though, I'm not trying to make this out to be a dramatic bullshit post, I just wanted to say bye to all my fellow sifters. You're all awesome in your own right and hopefully you'll forgive me when I come crawling back.
- I guess we can file this under, whoops! Baxter admits contaminated seasonal flu product contained live H5N1 bird flu virus. Luckily only a few ferrets were killed (no people).
I find the history of medicine and science interesting. We've come such a long way and are so advanced in some respects. I came across this timeline of outrageous medical experiments that U.S. health authorities have conducted on children, women, minorities, homosexuals and inmates. http://www.naturalnews.com/022383.html
While some of these forgotten episodes have lent to our greater understanding, they have also come at a high price to these peoples lives. At what point (if any) are unethical experiments justified to increase our knowledge ? While i realize The Hippocratic Oath has historical value and is a long standing tradition, I hadn't realized it's not obligatory and apparently no longer taken up by all physicians. Which i guess doesn't matter if one is going to disregard it in the first place.
The mother of Bristol Palin's fiancé was arrested yesterday in Alaska on drug charges! The Anchorage Daily News says Sherry Johnston, mother of Levi Johnston, was charged with six felony counts of misconduct involving a controlled substance.
Levi and Bristol, both 18, are expecting a baby and have made plans to get hitched. Gov. Sarah Palin's father, Chuck Heath, said in a recent interview that Bristol is due this Saturday.
The Palin camp told the Anchorage Daily News, "This is not a state government matter. Therefore the governor's communications staff will not be providing comment or scheduling interview opportunities."
Politico reports Johnston has been released from the Mat-Su Pretrial Facility on a $2,000 bond.
Today marks the 75th anniversary of the day prohibition was repealed here in America and I have to say that I'm shocked that a quick search of "repeal day" reveals only 3 videos on the subject. Of these videos, only two are about prohibition and neither has been voted up.
Judging from the past discussions I've seen here, there are at least a few of us here who appreciate our right to drink and I think we should all celebrate. Starting with this video that vinovin has so graciously and intelligently posted:

Marijuana was found in the tomb of a shaman somewhere in northern China to be used in the afterlife
The cache of cannabis is about 2,700 years old and was clearly cultivated for psychoactive purposes," rather than as fibre for clothing or as food, says a research paper in the Journal of Experimental Botany.
