A couple of anti-video comments that people made in the comments section of one of my videos. This one.
I thought it was really thoughtful that these users took the time to actually seek out my video (which had nothing to do with the pro vs. anti video debate), and post negative comments in my photostream.
As I recall, one of the main worries that anti-video folks have expressed is that the comments on videos would degrade into the vitriolic "u suck" negativity often found on YouTube. So what do they do about it? Apparently, they post negative "u suck" comments on flickr videos. They are becoming the change they DIDN'T want to see.
Talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Global protest of agricultural-menace Monsanto comes to Winnipeg.
March 11, 2012 – Winnipeg, Manitoba. On Friday, March 16th at 1pm, concerned citizens of Winnipeg will protest outside the Monsanto head office located in the Smart Park, University of Manitoba. Issues include insufficiently tested genetically-engineered foods, global food monopoly, terminator seeds and aggressive legal actions against individual farmers and small seed companies.
“There isn't a better way to show our opposition to such damaging policies they perpetuate than to protest outside their doors.” Occupy Monsanto Winnipeg statement.
Global opposition to Monanto has included class-action lawsuits filed against Monsanto by farmers, an international campaign “Millions Against Monsanto” and protests worldwide. In the aftermath of the earthquake that left the country of Haiti devastated, over ten thousand Haitian peasant farmers marched against Monsanto to protest the “donation” of hybrid seeds to replace the countries depleted stock. Hybrid seeds are engineered to be sterile after first harvest to stop farmers from saving and reusing seed, thus creating total dependence on the seed company.
Monsanto is the world’s largest biotech agricultural seed corporation based in the United States. Started in 1901 as an industrial chemical company, Monsanto has been notorious for producing such deadly compounds as Agent Orange, PCBs, DDT and more recently Roundup. Monsanto’s product Roundup, an herbicide with the active ingredient glyphosate, has been proven to cause birth defects. In recent years, crops have become resistant to Roundup and in some cases, multiple herbicides are now being used. Monsanto produces 90% of the world’s genetically-engineered seeds. Monsanto’s inadequate testing and failure to voluntarily label foods “GMO” has led to many countries, especially in the European Union, to ban all GMO foods.

Officers estimate that about 35,000 protesters took to the streets of Manchester city centre, today, Sunday 2 October 2011. No arrests were made.
The event started with a march that left Liverpool Road, and included two ‘feeder marches', organised by separate groups, which left from Oxford Road and Fire Station Square in Salford respectively, and joined the main congregation for the march.
The demonstration then went along Deansgate, John Dalton Street, Princess Street, Portland Street, Oxford Street, Hall Street, Bale Street and then arrived for a rally at No 1 First St.
Assistant Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said: "Organisers of the demonstration made it clear that it was their intention is to demonstrate peacefully, as is their democratic right, and this is exactly what happened.
“We are grateful to those protesters who co-operated fully with the police.
“We are now working hard to ensure that all users of Manchester city centre are able to get back to normal business, albeit while the Conservative Party Annual Conference and its security demands continue.
"We have worked closely with partner agencies, including those who represent local businesses, and we fully understand their desire to ensure that the city can keep moving. I believe we achieved this as far as is reasonably possible today.
“As we estimate that 35,000 people attended, and that their march covered significant parts of the city centre, we did require a significant police presence, in the interests of public safety and protecting the city. A policing presence, albeit scaled down, will remain into the evening.
“We are now focused on delivering the highest standards of security for all involved and affected by the conference, which continues this week.
"Manchester is privileged to host the conference and the event is good for the city.”

People gathered once more to make visible their dissatisfaction of the FBI's raids on anti-war activists on September 24, 2010 in Minneapolis and Chicago. I had taken two sets of two posters I had produced in 1991 in protest of the Gulf War. I placed them in one of the piles of posters. A woman selected the Martin Luther King Jr. quote, and I managed to capture a few shots as she held it once for me, and for a few shots by others.

Disability Rights campaigners protest outside the Daily Mail newspaper (Part 2) 14.04.2011
The Right To Work Campaign called for a protest outside the Daily Mail newspaper's offices to protest the newspaper's repeated portrayal of the Disabled as idle, dishonest workshy scroungers. The Police - at the Daily Mail's request - had designated a narrow patch of pavement outside Northwick House on Derry Street where the protest begun, until everyone got sick of being put in front of the wrong entrance - The Daily Mail entrance is one street over in Young Street. Members of DPAC (Disabled People Against Cuts), the Autism Rights Network, the Right To Work Campaign and the Coalition Against Poverty were present.
Suddenly the protesters picked up all their placards, bags etc. and took off en masse around the block into Young Street where there were no barriers. Caught on the hop, the Police regrouped fairly quickly and there followed much loud, angry chanting of strongly-worded insults against the newspaper and its' offensive attitude towards the sick and disabled. Many references were made to the Daily Mail Group's use of impenetrable Tax Havens to avoid paying Corporation tax, as well as references to that newspaper's well-documented disgraceful history of open anti-semitism and its support for Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party right up until the British entered into what became World War 2.
Suddenly a short, bald man came out of the Dail Mail entrance and arrogantly stood on the pavement, his hands in his pockets, openly pouring scorn on the protesters - and in doing so proved beyond a shadow of a doubt what the attitude amongst some of the newpaper's reporting staff must be like - in particular one girl whom he insulted several times to her face, all the time with a cocky smirk on his face. The girl in pink wasn't having any of this, and she got right into the arrogant man's face until a policeman suddenly shoved her backwards. Other police officers in the line were clearly unhappy with this man's goading and insults directed at this girl, and he was told to go back inside.
For some time now it has been the Daily Mail's editorial policy to smear and vilify the disabled, the sick, the poor, the low-paid, the carers of the disabled and single parents through article after article loaded with dishonest, hate-filled rhetoric and completely falsified statistics designed to lead their readership into thinking that this minority of society's weakest and most vulnerable people are little more than work-shy scroungers who have in some way been responsible for the recession just by being too physically or mentally ill to work or to need assistance to help them attend their workplaces with the Mobility Allowance which is being slashed by David Cameron's Conservative government.
This indecent right-wing agenda is consistent with the Conservative government's policy of demonising the sick and disabled by using outright falsifications and huge distortions of statistics so that the Chancellor can make massive and ruinous cuts to the welfare benefits of the disabled without causing a public outcry. In December 2010 Ian Duncan-Smith said in an article that the Disabled and those on Invalidity Benefits were "...a section of our society who are preventing Britain being Great".
Mr Duncan-Smith then followed this outrageous attack by promoting a completely false statistic which implied that Invalidity benefit fraud was consuming around 14% of the Welfare budget, when in fact the Department of Work and Pensions states that Benefit fraud represents less than 0.5% of their budget.
