Martha, Matt Hilton, Peter Twiggs and 91 other people liked this

By no means a complete list. :D - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

SCREW YOU HAGGIS... I wax me legs, I spend hours in the hairdressers and weeks doing my makeup for you... YOU BASTARD... I HATE YOU... *runs off sobbing* - Johnny Worthington

Oh I have you in another list Johnny: Crossdressing Australians of FF. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

Well hey thanks! - Brandy Lea

Did I say I wear a dress? Oh wait, yeah I have in the 25 Things - Johnny Worthington

*grabs popcorn* - Josh Haley

Well I saw the Bra, so I only guessed at the rest of the ensemble. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

... one needs support for one man-tits or one will get a sore back... HEY! EYES UP HERE BUDDY! - Johnny Worthington

You certainly grabbed many of them - RAPatton

I should have been there. - Nation Hahn

lol - Cee Bee

Aww, I hope I'm not offending anyone by not including them on the list. Many times I just go by the avatar and if it's a cartoon or something it's hard to tell and I won't put on here, and also these are just *my* personal tastes. Everyone has different types! - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

Any woman with the brass to be on FF is a hottie in my book. - Chris Baskind

Wow - that'd be a drag to be on a list like that. Still, as I always say, if you want to get a lot of followers get a hot chick avatar. It's sad but it's iJustine. True! I mean true. It's sad but it's true. - Ciaoenrico

++ Chris! - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

Lindsay and Sarah I will agree with however I will not like this cause there is no MONA! - Shawn aka ringking

Sean, how could you miss Dee: http://friendfeed.com/holycool ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

What are you talking about? She's the last one on the fifth row. :D - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

bow chick wow wow! - Morgan Haley

@Kol, She's got a Simpsons avatar, and I don't see any pics in her feed? - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

Yep. - Nicholas Kreidberg

They forgot me....can you do a redo? - @CrystalinaB

Honorable mention? (and I added you to my list) - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

Yay! I'm married to a hottie! - Chrimmus Tad

Whew, I'm glad I'm not on that list. - Christian (Simply X)

Sean, what the hell is my sister doing on this list!?! - jamar78

!!! Who is your sister Joel? I didn't even know! *hides* - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

http://friendfeed.com/teologia AKA Cardeen Martinez - jamar78

hahahahahahaha - what about the boys??!! - ♥ Stephiepooos ♥

yeeha! Chris Baskind GREAT answer! - @CrystalinaB

All I know is that when the boy's list comes out I better be on that or all hell is going to break loose!!! - jamar78

Happy to see everyone there, a few in particular ;) - Timothy Griffin

I'd hide it too, if my sense of fairness didn't kick in...So these are just women? Where are the MALE hotties of FF. :p ;) - Helen Sventitsky

The picture is too small to see. Am I on it? - Martha

@Helen Start up the Male Hotties list yourself! I find men hairy and repulsive. :D - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

LOL MARTHA!! - Mona Nomura

I wonder... Would I be on the male hotties list? :p - Chris, Taskerrific Guy

hahahaha.... when's the calendar coming out? - Thomas Hawk

@Thomas hahahaha - Shevonne

http://friendfeed.com/e... :) - Alessandro

Ciaoenrico I kinda take offense to that. My avatar is me, it's my face and I shared it on FF after a LOT of thought about it (plus some gender confusion, but that's another story). Because a woman might be considered attractive she *shouldn't* user her face as an avatar otherwise she's just trying to get followers? Bull crap, and sexist to boot. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

@Tina +++++ - Shevonne

@Sean, I couldn't agree more. :D Tina, YAY! - Helen Sventitsky

Agreed, Tina. That certainly wasn't the point of this list - it was merely a way to point out all of my FF crushes at once. I hope no one takes offense to it. :( - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

I'm offended....I wasn't on this effing list!! - jamar78

Sean, I'm not offended, personally. I find it rather amusing. The title of this post, to me, however, seemed rather "definitive". YMMV. :D - Helen Sventitsky

I mean my sis' made list sheesh!! - jamar78

I think I'm due for a new picture. I've used the same one since joining. - Rochelle

Rochelle, you had that other one, the B&W one of you smiling. That was great, too - Josh Haley

Quite a collection. There should be a male list too but then that could lead to a match-making game and apps being developed and other memes ... and ... oh dear ... - Amani

I'm not a crush, eh? :P - Tamar Weinberg

@Amani is that what you wanted to talk to me about? Creating that app? haha - Shevonne

We totally need a boys list, totally. And I'll pretend I'm not crying in a corner over here. - Bec Rowe @d0tski

I don't know how I feel about this... - Derrick

Dammit.. I'm about to delete this post. It was not my intention to hurt anyone's feelings. :( - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

I don't think it's a problem pointing out your crushes, hun. I think it's the fact that it's titled "The Hotties of FriendFeed" that can make people kind of uncomfy. That comes across as a direct judgment of peoples' looks, even though we know you didn't mean it that way. - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

@Sean don't ever apologize for your actions. - Shevonne

Okay, I think I understand.. Thanks Amanda.. I just updated the title, hopefully it will let everyone know that this is my own personal list, and by no means a judgement of anyone. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

It's not my scene, but hey...whatevs. It just feels a little meat market-ish to me. People aren't avatars, and I know a couple on the list who wouldn't be proud of being reduced to a FF hottie on someone's list. - Derrick

Sigh.. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

This whole thing spun out of control rapidly. Impressive. - Mike Nayyar

Okay, I hope this is better: http://friendfeed.com/e... - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

Derrick - But a lot of the stuff you post to the really gay room is pretty meat market-ish. Just because they're professional models it's okay to objectify them? We naturally objectify each other because we naturally are sexual creatures. I'm not offended by being on this list, but I don't like being objectified and I think what Haggis has done is a sweet gesture, not a gesture of blind testosterone rubbing one out. - Mattie Kenny

Didn't anyone see me grab the popcorn earlier? That's your 1st clue. - Josh Haley

I'm not offended at all btw :) - Tamar Weinberg

Thx Matsie <3 - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

LOL - Pedram

Sean you created a monster didn't you....hehe - jamar78

Ugh.. no kidding.. I guarantee this list will never be mentioned again outside of these posts. I think i'm gonna unplug for a while and let this all die down. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

ok i just now read the whole thread damnit i always miss everything lol joel... ::shakes head:: u kno to some i'm not a lil sister lol ur so funny i luv u! - Cardeen Martinez

don't let it get to you Sean....all that matters is that you had no malicious intent which you didn't - jamar78

**blushes** - gee thanks. :) And go hide for a while, Sean... it'll all blow over. - Jen (SquirrelGirl)

nice list, i have about half of these in a group called "sexy people" - sean percival

Mattie, any pics I post in the Really Gay Room are A) *in* the Really Gay Room, and B) pictures culled from sites that are meat-marketish to begin with. I would never post pics of Scoble or Louis Gray and say, "oh these are guys I'd like to see naked". And I'm not knocking Sean. I freakin' love Sean. But I also know that there are women on the list who've worked hard at getting to where they are in life and in their careers and to be thought of as a pin-up on FF isn't their bag. - Derrick

It's about time you chimed in Leather...LMAO...love it...haha - jamar78

Leather Donut, Don't ever change! :) - Michelle Martinez

I second her notion...hehe - jamar78

I don't see how posting this in a room would make it any different a situation, Derrick. I don't think that Sean ever said he wanted to see any of the women on the list naked. Is that something I skipped over while scanning the comments? If he said that, then yes. This list is pretty lame. But being admired for your beauty isn't bad. Especially since (for me at least) being a hottie entails being incredibly intelligent and engaging. - Mattie Kenny

Mattie, that's exactly what I consider a hottie. Attractiveness is only part of the factor. Intelligence, a sense of humor, and many other things go into that equation. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

I see a potential calendar. - Paul

Mattie, I'm not going to fight with you over this. If you want to split ends, say I'm a hypocrite, or engage in double standards, feel free. I don't care. Very simply, I know people who don't want to be referred to as hotties. By anyone. I see them on the list. I speak up. That's it. There are 50 people in the RGR, maybe 20 people see it regularly. That's a HUGE difference than the numbers of people who sub to the home feed. But you know what? Forget I even opened my mouth. Apparently I've become a prude... - Derrick

That's not what I'm saying, Derrick. Now I understand what you meant by putting the photos up in the RGR versus what Haggis did. Did these women speak up for themselves and say they don't appreciate being called attractive? - Mattie Kenny

<3 Derrick.. I appreciate what you are saying, and think it's very commendable that you are seeing this from an angle I didn't really see. I know you only have the best intentions with what you are saying. Please no more fighting over this.. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

I just happen to know them, Mattie. And I didn't say they didn't appreciate being called attractive. I said they, knowing them as I do, woudn't appreciate being culled up on a list and pointed out for the world to ogle. - Derrick

Sean, you know how I feel about you bud, and I'm not putting you on blast. Consider my hands washed of it. - Derrick

Mattie, how about you look at it from the flip side...those women who DIDN'T make the list and don't have the benefit of feeling all bubbly inside because they've been deemed "attractive"? It's all well and good when you're on the winning team, apparently. - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

yeah Sean you are a good person....don't beat yourself up about it - jamar78

Although you better take my sis' out this damn list!! hehe - jamar78

Awesome post, Sean! - George The Writer

Amanda - I don't think not being on the list deems you unattractive and I don't think Haggis is the be all end all of who is or is not attractive. Wow. I'm on the list. BFD. I don't feel or bubbly inside, nor did I take it very seriously. It didn't blip in my radar until I saw people taking major offense to Haggis having posted the list, in which case I looked at it & was surprised to see myself there. I'm not on any "team". - Mattie Kenny

Haggis, I love the conversations you spawn... feel free to include me in future provocative topics. ~xxxooo~ - Far

I would like to state for the record, should there be a men's list...I would like to opt out. That is all, thank you. - Christian (Simply X)

Ok gents, let's show the ladies how we roll. (and can someone email me that info ahead of time, so I look like I know what I'm doing?) - Morgan Haley

Oh too funny. Thanks for including me, Sean. ;-) - Jennifer Leggio

And the winner for best line from this entire thread..."The picture is too small to see. Am I on it?"...@Martha. thank YOU! I am now cleaning cola off of my keyboard. - .LAG liked that

How did you manage to limit yourself to only 53? - j1m

Ok my cat is really pist off...didn't make the cut...gees! LOL - Susan Beebe

Aaaw, Sean! <3 - Nia

This list is approved, mainly because one certain hottie is the better half :) Sean, not only do you represent a great product, but also exceptional taste. Sir, I owe you a drink! ;) - Matt Harwood

I'm amazed that neither Lisa Bettany nor Sarah Lacy are showing up in any of these clique building seminar visual aides. - Matthew DeVries

Ok I am not the brightest crayon in the box so I want to know how the hell do you see a list of people like that. I have different lists but where do I go to see all in just that one list? - Brandy Lea

Brandy, you see this view when you go into one of your lists then select to Add/Remove friends. - Kol Tregaskes

I think what Brandy is asking is if she can see someone else's list, which we can't. Haggis might have made a list that is friendfeed.com/list/hotties and he'll see it when he's logged in, but no one else would see it if they went to that same URL. He wouldn't even see it if he logged out and went to that URL. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Saw this comin'. Nice job Sean :) - Charlie Anzman

Hey, what am I doing there??? I just saw it now :| - Bibi

Booyah! - Josh Haley

LOL Josh. I was waiting for someone to do this. :D - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

Don't you miss the way the groups used to display pictures like this? I wish they'd bring this functionality back - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

Glad I didn't make the list lol - Jeunelle Foster

I don't think I was subscribed to you when I made this list, Jeunelle. This is almost a year old! :D - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

Don't misunderstand what I mean. I mean I am thankful I didn't make the list period. PRAISE THE LORD :) - Jeunelle Foster

We should have an Academy Award of FriendFeed or something. That I would have a long ass speech prepared telling everybody how I'd like to thank all the little people who were responsible for me winning that award and it should be sponsored by Mashable and FFundercats :) - Jeunelle Foster

How the FF did I miss this thread? Jan 27th??? Thank you! That's a huge compliment. And since it's so old, it's a fun time capsule too. - Ginger Makela Riker

"Channel Four, in spite of its well-reported financial ‘challenges', has been busy recommissioning a pair of its most popular comedy series. And we're really rather pleased about it. First up, there's going to a fourth series of The IT Crowd. Writer Graham Linehan has ended his two most popular shows to date before The IT Crowd at three series - Black Books and Father Ted - but he'd earlier said that he hoped a fourth run of the show would get the green light. The new series is set to air next year." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

I avoid movies that scare the crap out of me -- to much cleanup. - Brian Sullivan

@CW, none really. I can't remember the last time I saw a movie that was even vaguely scary to me. - Jason Huebel

oh no, i loved it.. it did everything a horror film was meant to do! its so much better than the predictable teen stuff they have been churning out.. so when i went in there thinking that it was a regular film.. i was shockingly wrong!! - Simply Teeeya

OMG. The old gypsy lady just attacked her in her bed. I gotta go change my shorts. - Jason Huebel

OMG IT GETS WORSE!!! it gets really horrid!!!! she is an evil witch.. im scared for you! i would hate to watch it again!! - Simply Teeeya

Well, considering the lights were on when she attacked that girl in her bed, no. It's not much better. :-D - Jason Huebel

I heard the movie is more funny than scary. Is that true? - Bryan Lee

It's a little of both. It's got some good jump-in-your-seat moments. But there's a lot that's just so ridiculously bad that you can't help but laugh. :-D - Jason Huebel

That sounds like typical Sam Raimi a la Evil Dead. - Bryan Lee

Which film is that Oliver Platt still from? - Spidra Webster

movies all of above - `aziz´ Alihan ÇETİN

The last Harry Potter - Shevonne

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - Manuel Mas

Knowing. Was so good right up until the end. Come. On. - Zach Flauaus

Didn't even know Burton did James and the Giant Peach - Manuel Mas

@Spidra - Bicentennial Man. I really liked the film myself, but then I love Asimov stories and love them when they get to film... not because they all live up to the written work, but because it is yet another medium to enjoy the work... like I, Robot. http://www.imdb.com/title... - Travis Koger

Thanks, Travis. - Spidra Webster

Matrix 2 and 3 - WTF!!! - Adrian

I agree with Adrian and Shevonne: Matrix 2, 3 and last harry potter - Johnny

live action Dr Seuss is a bad idea - Noah David Simon

Aeon Flux, Rocket Science, Napoleon Dynamite, Hot Fuzz, The Science of Dreams, Breaking News, Spiderman 3, X-Men 3, The Matrix 3, Repo Man, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Spaceballs, The Good Night, Burn After Reading, Tropic Thunder - Brome

burn after reading for sure. - strulcess

Tropic Thunder, good call. - Johnny

Star Trek: Nemesis. - Shawn Whitmire

most movies lately - Amber, Random Time Lord

Silent Hill. Was awesome until the last 20 minutes. And the last Harry Potter. Don't even get me going on that one. - ::Kristen::

I rarely watch movies, so I am rarely disappointed. long ago I was a big fan of MST3K - haven't seen it in years... - Mike Nencetti

Master of Disguise would be my pick. I lost all faith in Dana Carvey after that movie. - Shawn aka ringking

@::Kristen:: love Silent Hill up to that point also; good call. I disagree with the last Harry Potter; it was my favourite of the series thus far. Brome, you are so wrong in so many ways we need a new word to describe :P - Michael W. May

Stardust. - Alix Whitmire

Manuel, agree about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, very disappointing. - Kol Tregaskes

I liked Hot Fuzz a lot, Burn After Reading was good too but agree on Tropic Thunder, very poor. - Kol Tregaskes

I have stopped thinking about films like that, ie having some level that I expect them to sit at, or better. I just try and enjoy the film regardless of what went before it. Indiana Jones 4 was a good example. I think that on its own it was a perfectly good film, nice action, good 'mystery' etc. - Travis Koger

I liked Silent Hill, but would have to watch it again to see about the ending. - Kol Tregaskes

I try and watch any and every film and don't really bother to judge it. Even films that are seriously B-grade or lower still get eyeball time for me... Just like I would never say 'I am not interested in seeing that film'. There is just no point in excluding anything when all watching it does is waste some time. I have seen some brilliant foreign (read non-english speaking) films because of this concept. - Travis Koger

I'm with Travis. While a movie may have disappointing plot or dialog, it doesn't mean that the movie couldn't have entertaining moments. Sometimes I watch some movies for a scene or two or because of the soundtrack. - Jemm

Most movies based on books disappoint me if I have read the book first, but that is probably my fault - I find it difficult to see the film as a different/separate story. - Mellissa Claus

Jemm, Bruno was like that for me, I didn't like the fact that it was formula film, almost an identical plot to Borat, even down to the 'companion' that went with him to the US etc, but there was a couple of scenes in the film that I found laugh out loud hilarious and that is really the payoff for seeing it. Only thing I dislike is having to spend a lot of money going to the cinema and... more... - Travis Koger

I think I was most disappointed with Mel Gibson and Julia Robert's "Conspiracy Theory". Probably because I know it was a poor story compared to what it was derived from. There was an actual real "conspiracy-spouting, internet-savvy taxi driver" in Melbourne between 1993 and 1996 well before the movie. And that case was a darn-sight more interesting a story. - George Hall (Australia)

The Blair Witch wossname, utter garbage. Night in the Museum was way too childish. Could have been so much better. I've managed to avoid the sequel, which couldn't be any worse I suppose. - Gilbert Harding

AI: Artificial Intelligence. 'nuff said. :) - Amy

I loved AI ...you just didn't get it. it wasn't about a robot. it was about a little boy whose mommy rejected him. if you had balls you'd understand - Noah David Simon

Noah: I got the point. That doesn't mean it was any good tho. It had about 6 parts where it SHOULD have ended, and the whole cinema was just laughing by the end because it went straight through 'bad' into 'hilarious'. - Amy

did you like "Eyes Wide Shut? Amy? just wondering. - Noah David Simon

Noah: Not particularly. It was alright, but overrated. It had atmosphere and mystery but the characters did nothing for me whatsoever. - Amy

I think you might not be the audience for Kubrick's P.O.V. Amy. Kubrick was a craftsman, but his voice came out in both those movies - Noah David Simon

All that came out watching "Eyes Wide Shut" were my eyes. Had to resocket them a few times. - George Hall (Australia)

Kubrick's late explorations were on gender and power. A.I. resolved the feeling of rejection and lack of control men feel towards society women. mommy rejects us.... or our perfect wives are really controlling the game. they were contrary to the ideas of victimization and androgyny put forth by feminism. if you are a feminist I would garner that Kubrick's later stuff is quite... more... - Noah David Simon

For all the single people out there...the best advice I can give you is to do what you like to do. Whatever your hobbies, join a group that does the same thing. Make friends. Friends lead to romantic relationships. Don't waste your time with dating.

Excellent advice. I use my camera to meet people and share common experiences. If I had a puppy I would be Golden. - Russellreno

I think this is good advice, but not because I think people will actually find "the one" this way. It is good because putting yourself out there to meet new ppl or try new things tends to result in being a happy, self sufficient person and thus an attractive candidate for partnership. - Sarah Miller from iPhone

I was sure you were going to give the advice not to get married. ;) - Cristo

I'm wanting to respond, but cautious, because not that long ago I was what I'd probably have termed "involuntarily single." And I'm trying to think of what I can say that wouldn't annoy 3-or-4-years-ago me. For me, the key was being myself, ACCEPTING myself, and accepting that I *could* live a perfectly happy life as a single man if I didn't find the right person. And I know that last acceptance is the most difficult, but I think it's the most important, too, IMO. - Scott of Two Countries

Scott, I agree after having someone that I spent nearly a quarter of my life with pulled away from me it was hard, but I finally decide I'm fine by myself if that happens. - Jimminy Fuller

I believe it's very important to be good with being by yourself first. Knowing you don't 'need' someone around to have a good life. Makes it easier to recognize when you've made a mistake and jumped a little too soon. :) And makes it easier to see the good ones when they do finally come along. Be good with yourself, then you can be good together. Then the mutual interests come into play nicely. - Bette Cooper

My husband and I don't have much in terms of shared interests or hobbies, although we do have shared values and goals. We were both happy with ourselves first (before we met). I found a dating website helpful because it made it clear we were on a date when we met up. There was none of this "does he like me, or does he just like the same things I do?" ambiguity. - Clare Dibble

Good advice, and I'd add that if you want a relationship but can't find anyone worthy who's into you (and you did put forth effort) it's probably because you need to work on yourself first. It's unreasonable to expect a non-crazy person to want you if you don't have it together yourself.

Good advice, organic has worked for me. But I know several couples who met via personal ads/internet dating, including a couple whose wedding I officiated. I think there's nothing desperate or wrong to go that route. - Maria Niles

I agree. Nothing wrong about specifically looking for a relationship. However I do have a problem with the practice of swinging from relationship to relationship as some people do - LANjackal from IM

Yeah, I don't think you should cut yourself off from online dating venues because you never know where that special someone will come from, but I do think that meeting people doing what you like to do is a much better way. - Alex Scoble from IM

Partying (NOT getting trashed, I'm rarely wasted) is just what I do for fun and I love it. Whoever I get with is just gonna have to be OK with that or we'll never work - LANjackal from IM

Yeah, fuck you, you fucking idiots who think that our President isn't a citizen. Peace! - Alex Scoble

While I don't particularly care myself, I would dispute your assertion that no one (cares). The fact is obvious that there are (perhaps deranged, but still vocal) people there who care very much. You can make yourself sound like an idiot by claiming no one cares, but that doesn't make it true. - Mistletoe Glen

I'm even afraid to ask...but what did I miss? - Joel Robert Perez

All right, Glen. NO SANE PERSON CARES. Better? - Steven Perez

By attacking the rationality of the person raising the argument, you're attempting to deflect the argument itself. However, it simply shows that you're ignoring it, and thus giving (IMHO) false credence to it. Better to address the issue than to simply call names. - Mistletoe Glen

Are you actually saying that you agree with the birthers, Glen? - Steven Perez

um...according to the rant, he didn't - Joel Robert Perez

As I've said before elsewhere, Steve, no, I don't. I think Obama is fully the legitimate president of the USA. I'm merely pointing out the fact that, if you use an ad hominem attack instead of addressing the issues raised, you've effectively given the argument to the other side. If I said, "I believe A to be true," and your response is, "only insane people believe A," then you haven't done anything to address the merits of my statement, effectively giving it silent affirmation. - Mistletoe Glen

Because I'll tell you what this is about Glen: it's about overturning an election. The birthers couldn't care less where Obama was born. He could have been born on the steps of the Capitol building, and he would still not be their president. You don't like the man? Fine. But to try and rededine the meaning of "is", just to to lessen the pain of a lost election - that's a coward's way. - Steven Perez

I'm sick and tired of both sides of the political spectrum thinking that, by calling the other side names, they've effectively addressed the issue. - Mistletoe Glen

And you know something else, Glen? Their argument deserves every bit of scorn and derision I can muster. Because the majority of these clowns are fools. I have no respect either for them or their goofball, half-baked ideas. - Steven Perez

If that's how you want our country to work, Steven, then you deserve what you get. - Mistletoe Glen

How would you like this argument to work, Glen? They've gotten the truth and ignored it, many many times. At some point you gotta cut your losses and say "some fucktards are just never going to accept the truth for what it is and ergo they are fucking asshole losers". - Alex Scoble

How much more can this issue be addressed? How much more proof can a person give than a birth certificate issued by the state of birth AND supporting evidence from a newspaper of record? The only way these people will believe he is a citizen is if we build a time machine and take them back so they can see little O crowning. If I believed so strongly that oranges were blue, despite being... more... - invariant - farewell FF

No answer will serve them, Glen. NONE. Nothing short of Barack Obama leaving office will ever satisfy them, and since they chose the most inane way of doing so (a make-believe loophole, instead of finding some sort of crime), they deserve every bit of name-calling they get. No, I have no respect for the lot of them - or anyone who propagates their craziness on any grounds. - Steven Perez

I don't think a rational discussion is going to happen tonight, so I'll wish you all well and go listen to the rest of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" audiobook. - Mistletoe Glen

Guess what, Glen? On this topic, you won't have a rational discussion - because one side believes that the president of the United States isn't an American. - Steven Perez

Steven Perez is REAL!? DYSP - Nicholas Kreidberg

Mark, yes you must provide proof of legal right to work in the country (fulfilled by birth certificate, green card, visa, etc.) when you start a job here in the US. EDIT: Maybe? I have had to for my jobs at least. - invariant - farewell FF

Mark: if you sign up with a temp agency, you generally do. Most do, some don't. A passport works, too. (Which begs the question - does Barack Obama have a passport? Because one of the forms of ID for getting a passport is - wait for it - a birth certificate.) - Steven Perez

Don't you have to have a passport to leave the country? Even if you're the POTUS, I don't think you just get to pass on through w/o ID - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

wow, interesting side topic. I've had 7 jobs in my life, in the state of illinois, I've never once had to show my birth certificate. - Adam Turetzky

The State Department takes the same birth certificate as proof of American citizenship to issue a passport. If it's certified by the state, it's accepted as an original. - Kenya

I've had a LOT of jobs. Never had to show a birth cert. I think a DL and SSN imply a birth cert. Seems logical to me. - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

Well, I did say you have to provide proof of legal right to work-SSN or DL are also obviously valid. Nevertheless, I retract my original comment. - invariant - farewell FF

I had to get a new job a couple of months ago. I had to find my birth certificate and a id. - Shawn aka ringking

Once I got my passport, I never needed to show my birth certificate again. - Steven Perez from IM

only ppl i know who had to show their passport or birth cert were either PR aliens or applying for work with a defence contractor...or telecom, lately. - Joe Silence is not Santa

I think we have arrived at a valid point. You can't have valid ID w/o showing someone a birth cert in the first place, right? So, implying Obama has no birth cert also implies he has no ID whatsoever. - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

If you have a social security card, you won't have to show a birth certificate for employment. - Kenya

I'm looking at the I-9 form that employers have to fill out to verify eligibility to work in the United States. There's a form called Certification of Birth Abroad that the State Department issues. Not one birther has claimed that such a thing exists for Obama. - Kenya

I used my Illinois freshly printed birth certificate to reenter the US from Canada because I didn't have a passport. - Andy Bakun from Android

What is all this "birthers" crap? Some idiot the other day here said "I bet you are a birther too".. and I got no idea WTF they are on about lol Yeah.. I was born.. like the rest of us lol. :o) - Rob Sellen :o)

Rob: "Birthers" is the collective name given to the right-wing element of Americans who want to find any piddling pathetic little excuse to support their racism and/or zealous political leanings; those who refuse to believe Obama is American and so shouldn't be President (though if Arnie was ever in a position to represent them, well that would be different of course.) - Mark H

I see... so those who said that to me are DUMB seeing as I am not even an American lol. ;o) Thanks for explaining that for me. :o) - Rob Sellen :o)

DYSP: But look at the kerning! And the lack of EXIF information! It's obviously counterfeit! - Jim Norris

Birthers believe in a conspiracy, it almost impossible to convince someone who believes in a conspiracy that they are wrong, because anything you say against their belief they will see as apart of the conspiracy. The one thing you don't do is give them a voice in the main stream media as if they have a valid point. - Kim Landwehr

I agree with Kim to a point, though the nature of conspiracy theories is that such disregard helps reinforce the story for true believers: "Of course it's true; that's /why/ the media is afraid to talk about it!" - Andrew C

I guess my point is that when it comes to the Birther, your in a no win situation, no matter what you do or say, its going to reinforce their belief +1 Andrew C - Kim Landwehr

LIFE is one big conspiracy. ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

Never really followed much of this during the election, but if it turned out Obama wasn't born in the US, then what? Change the Constitutional requirement? - Kevin Whalen

If you are gonna change your constitution it will be worthless... can't change things on a whim and expect people to trust it. - Rob Sellen :o)

What?!? You mean the Bill of Rights makes the Constitution worthless?!? No wonder it's all f'ed up!! Anyway, there's no need for a constitutional amendment since Obama was born in Hawaii, and Arnold Schwarzenegger wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell for the presidency even with an amendment ever since he destroyed the state of California. - Victor Ganata

I'm just glad I'm Canadian where back in the day it was cool that our prime minister was a playboy. (no offense) - Nathalie, Dreamer of FF

Kevin, no, we don't change our Constitution! (However, judges have 'interpreted' the Constitution in a way that precisely meets their needs/agendas since the framers created it. Not change. Interpret ,-) - Jess

Actually, we do. That's what an amendment is: the act of amending or correcting; a statement that is added to or revises or improves a proposal or document (a bill or constitution etc.) http://www.google.com/search... - Steven Perez from IM

And whether or not the Constitution should be amended is a moot point. The document has been produced; it's not the Congress' job to rewrite the laws of reality for a few racist conspiracy nuts. - Steven Perez from IM

If they're not going to believe the evidence from the time machine, then there's simply no hope for them. - Victor Ganata

I was including Amendments and all Rights under 'Constitution'. I agree completely that the Birther issue is racist and people are grabbing at straws. Just like I believe that it's crazy to think the framers of Constitutional Law could foresee/and think they could forsee all the issues the US would face in its future. That's why the words they used are so broad and not to be taken in a formalist nature. - Jess

Jess, Rob, that was the genius of the Founding Fathers, that they realized no document could be perfect, so they provided a mechanism by which we could make changes. - Victor Ganata

Back to the original discussion, I understand Glen's original point regarding ad hominems and such, and it's valid in general cases, but we're now well past this being an "argument." There is no two sides to this anymore. There's the proven truth and that's it. Anyone who argues the other side is, by definition, now making a completely irrational argument, which usually is when ad... more... - Chieze Okoye

The fact that a Birther's belief cannot be falsified with any sort of evidence means the rules of logic can't apply anyway. - Victor Ganata

hehe, indeed. - Chieze Okoye

Ok.. well I don't give a shit anyway, about the birthers crap or whatever. ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

As I said (in an earlier thread), ad hom may not be 100% correct, but it can be a handy rule of thumb. - Andrew C

I'm inclined to agree. Asserting that Elvis is still alive does not constitute a reasoned argument such that one is immunized from ad hominems. People who argue things of that sort are rightly dismissed as "bat-shit-loon-fucking-wing-nuts." - Christopher A Carr

WTF??? Elvis..died? :P - Rob Sellen :o)

That's an abstracted birth certificate. - MicahBear78

Obama should make his original, 1961 birth certificate available, just for transparency's sake. According to Hawaii officials, they have it in their vault. So there's no good reason not to show it. - Rob Sterling

No, he shouldn't. - Steven Perez from IM

I didn't know bunnehs had birth certificates. You learn something new every day :) - Mellissa Claus

Rob, I'm totally sure that the birthers who have not only rejected every piece of evidence to date but refused to even acknowledge their existence will certainly change their tune if Obama were to release the long form birth certificate! - Andrew C

@Andrew - The only piece of evidence that means anything is the 1961 birth certificate from the vault. And I can't imagine a reason for Obama to keep it locked up. - Rob Sterling

Podcasts which are properly done and in a busy niche are many times the thing that will satisfy a craving and create a desire for more. :) - James Stratford

Podcast were around before. It was internet radio shows. The on demand effect is what made it become podcast. And as long as the podcast isn't everywhere and is a subject I enjoy. I will take a listen. TWIT and TWIF FTW~! - Shawn aka ringking

In a way, yes. In the near future (20 years) we will still have content producers and delivry agents. What we won't have are content aggregators. So if you think of the producer of the podcast as the content producer, then, yeah, you absolutely nailed it! - MVB (Grinch of FF) from iPod
