Re: Venomfangx Apologizes to the Internets

Nice. And hurrah for the UK, incidentally, seeing as we're here!

I agree. Too many people fought & died for our freedom of speech aswell as other basic human rights we enjoy in the West. We shall defend it till the end.

[thatgaybloke]

Filing a false DMCA is knowingly filing a false criminal charge. It is perjury. VFX might live in Canada, but a warrant for his arrest would prevent his visiting the US.

[thatgaybloke]

In any case, it's all over now. It seems that mummy and daddy read VFX the riot act and he's slithered away for the time being.

[sinterminator]

@thatgaybloke

VFX stopped making videos because muslims harrassed his parents.

Islam is destroying Europe. Now the United States have a muslim president.

Atheists and muslims work for the devil.

Repent.

[albinoman13bt]

@sinterminator No one believes that. Did he tell you that? Because he's demonstrated time and again that he just makes shit up as he goes. His word is more or less destroyed at this point.

Think.

[thatgaybloke]

"I didn't have anyone to bail me out. If it wasn't covered by the insurance policy, they wouldn't have gotten any money at all."

I don't know how things work in the US, but here in the UK, someone who cannot pay their debts has to declare bankruptcy. That has a pretty serious impact on your life because ANY assets or cash you have in excess of what the courts rule you need for subsistence goes straight to your creditors.

[TBlake34]

Oh, and we had this wonderful president "Dubya," you may have heard of him, who managed to change the bankruptcy laws to make them incredibly punitive.

Half the country is terrified that free health care will take away our freedom but sat idly by as creditors were given EXTREME advantages over people in financial desperation (usually because of health care costs).

We're doing just great on our side of the pond...

[thatgaybloke]

Lucky for you that you had someone who could bail you out. Did you learn anything from that experience other than "you can do what the hell you like if you don't have any money"?

[thatgaybloke]

What Thunderf00t asked for - an apology - is no different from any other out of court settlement. What did TF sue for? I'm surprised you're asking that question. He was threatening to sue in order to protect freedom of speech. That's pretty important to most of us, regardless of whether we live in Canada, the UK or the US - people in Chine die fighting for that right.

I don't think that being poor should be protection against being sued.

[thatgaybloke]

Thunderf00t didn't make any threats - he just outlined the terms of an out of court settlement. If you take into account the number of frivolous lawsuits filed in the US - many of them actually won by the plaintiffs - I don't think finding an attorney would be a problem.

What makes you think that Thunderf00t is a dirt bag? Do you think that pointing out the flaws in the creationist arguments is equivalent to perjury and fraud?

bah, stop arguing about the bible, you are just wasting ur time. the reality: god is imaginary, and that's the truth, really sorry that you guys haven't got it yet.

[HITpadawan]

Great video, a strong point well made

...it was satisfying though eh? ;-D

[webdesignproject]

shut up u fucking gay prick

[LordKingMan]

Wow, you sound pretty intelligent.

[webdesignproject]

yup lol but i im right

[AziMeX]

Let me put it in a more subtle way.

You sound like you were molested by your Catholic priest till you lost all sense of moral law, and ultimately accepted Christ as your personal lord and saviour to free yourself from any personal responsibilities.

[webdesignproject]

im not even catholic

[Ezprezo]

webdesignproject - thanks for representing your religion, you did a good job!

Yeah hate the gays! burn babies! sacrifice innocent animals! rape virgins and slay wives!!

Grow the fuck up.

Good vid by the way.. those people will never understand how hateful they can really be.

Gay and Lesbian price brotha.

[webdesignproject]

what a stupid thing to say i agree with hate the gays but wtf for the others

u might think u r being really clever for standing up for gay people but ur morales are not better than those of our god so dont try to act as if u are morally superior to me.

Being gay is wrong end of story

so 'Grow the fuck up'

[Ezprezo]

I am above you. In every aspect of life.

Get over it. :)

[webdesignproject]

haha

[davidls11]

Webdesignproject...you're an asshole.

[webdesignproject]

better than being a poof

[davidls11]

Don't knock it until you've tried it, webdesign. Gay sex is WAY better than straight.

[aimAweirdo]

A man punched a guy and it helped him feel more dominant. After that he started going around beating people up. Should you fallow his footsteps because it helped him feel dominant? or Should you sneak up on him while he is asleep to beat him to a bloody pulp because of his arrogance? Neither approaches are are justified they are both corrupt in their approach.

[davidls11]

AimAweirdo, I'm not sure why you addressed this comment to me. Yes, both approaches are wrong, but allowing the guy to continue beating people up is also wrong. The weak and innocent have to be protected. Now what the hell are we talking about?

[blackmetalqueer]

generally, beating someone up is not a consenual act so I don't see how that can have any relation to gay sex, of course if the inflicting of pain IS consenual, well now that stuff is awesome!!!

[bobdibuilder]

Sorry but im not against gay pepole or anything like that, but it isent WAY better, there equel you prat.

[davidls11]

It's better to ME. Of course it's equal in reality. To each his own. I was just criticizing webdesignproject for his homophobia. Now as for you...learn to spell (people, isn't, they're, equal) and what the hell is a "prat"?

[bobdibuilder]

What the fuck, i calne spell so why the fuck not, and look at the way you said it, also a prat is you.

[davidls11]

Sorry, webdesign, being gay is great. Don't knock it until you've tried it.

[webdesignproject]

ever been hit by a bus?

would u like it?

don't knock it until you have tried it

[davidls11]

Super analogy there, webdesign...moron.

[Magni56]

"but ur morales are not better than those of our god"

You mean the biblical god? In that case, our morales are definitely superior, considering the god of the bible makes Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin look like innocent schoolgirls.

[webdesignproject]

haha ur so condescending and u think ur clever

[Magni56]

Read your freakin bible.

Mass murder, torture, rape, slavery, rascism. It´s, according to your god, all okay.

And that´s why the christian god is the most obnoxious, narcisstic and amoral character/concept/dream fairy in existence.

[webdesignproject]

and who r u to tell him hes wrong

[Magni56]

A moral person.

Furthermore, who is HE to assume something as despicable as that he´s getting a free pass? Not only that, but getting worshipped.

Not on my watch. I don´t care how powerful god is suppossed to be, he´s still a narcissistic, sadistic, bigoted, unjust, sick asshole.

[ATL45]

i'm sorry, webdesignproject, did you just decline the opportunity to condemn "mass murder, torture, rape, slavery, and racism" and instead chose to invoke the "might makes right" viewpoint to defend your fictional god?

religious people are always claiming that a god is the only way to provide a stable and objective morality. but how is it useful if it is only based on the god's personality?

objective morality, my ass. even if your god WERE real, i would tell him to fuck off for all he's done.

[webdesignproject]

god only punishes people that deserve it

[ATL45]

first off, that's a useless statement because you simply declare your statement to be true without justification, and then look at every person who's suffering and say "they must have deserved that." it's not like we have an objective standard to who "deserves it" and then we look and say "are these people the only ones being punished?"

and how does punishing people for who their PARENTS are qualify as punishing someone who "deserves it"? it's disgusting. throw that idea away.

[webdesignproject]

we all sin we all deserve it

how can u deny we dont sin?

look in the bible

there is ur justification

no1 is punished for who their parents are

[thatgaybloke]

Sin is a concept that is often used to make people feel guilty about victimless crimes. It's part of the thought control process. I don't believe in sin. Sin and morality are not mutually dependent.

As for no one being punished for who their parents are - isn't the Christianity based on the idea that we're ALL being punished for Adam and Eve's sin of disobeying god?

[webdesignproject]

adam and eve disobeyed god and god punished them

we sin and we get punished for it

adam and eve was significant because it was the first sin and we have been sinning ever since

but we are judged by our own actions

[ATL45]

first: the bible no better a justification than the koran. don't pretend like it's special and i should believe it without evidence. people do things which hurt others, but it isn't some metaphysical thing called sin.

second: your "god" DOES punish people for who their parents are. see also, deuteronomy 23:3, where "god" punishes ten future generations because he perceives wrongdoing at the hands of their living and former ancestors.

your god is an abomination, one which someone dreamed up.

[webdesignproject]

bible predicts the future

how is that for evidence

[ATL45]

terrible. gospel stories were passed down porally for decades, plenty of time to make the jesus myth conform to prophecy. Also, it makes tons of primitive mistakes in describing the natural world.

also, you never answered my point about your god punishing people for their ancestors actions.

and where are the miracles? In your bible bedtime stories, they used to happen all the time. The problem is that now, most people wouldnt believe such a bullshit new story.

[webdesignproject]

he already knew that the ancesters were going to do wrong he had already seen it

[ATL45]

that's not the question i asked. the question is: why would you punish children for something their parents did? why bar person X from the "assembly of the lord" and not person Y just because person X's great grandmother was a moabite and person Y has a pure hebrew ancestry?

it's no difference of things they themselves have done. it's not a matter of "their own actions" as you purport. it's a matter of who their parents are. it's a matter of racism. it's in your bible, and it's disgusting.

[thatgaybloke]

"he already knew that the ancesters were going to do wrong he had already seen it "

So your god creates people, knowing in advance that they will be cast into Hell for eternity with no chance of salvation.

Can't you see how inconsistent that is with sanity?

[thatgaybloke]

"bible predicts the future

how is that for evidence "

The predictions are no more specific or accurate than those of Nostradamus or a newspaper horoscope. It's not difficult to find an event in history against which you can retrofit any of these "predictions". There's never enough detail to be able to predict properly - i.e. in ADVANCE. We all have 20-20 vision when it comes to hindsight.

[aivil000]

i think you're a troll. a good one, because your comments look authentic with all of the misspellings and such.

[webdesignproject]

there are only misspellings to save time btw

[Surathan]

Christianity = Brainwashing Religion

Scientology = Brainwashing Cult

Hrm.

Me thinks we should do away with both.

[DesiredControl107]

Nah, just kick out the fundamentalist morons. The liberal christians can stay, they usually leave you alone. Let Tom Cruise stay too, I like his movies.

[Surathan]

Tom Cocksuck is a Scientologist

He can fucking die.

[DesiredControl107]

I like his movies.

[Surathan]

and yet the simple facts remain:

Hes stupid

Hes a scientologist

Did I mention that hes stupid?

[DesiredControl107]

Indeed you did. And my fact remains:

He makes good movies

If he wants to be a psycho that believes that BS that's fine. Put him on an island with the rest of those nut bags and give him a working visa to come back and make the movies.

[Surathan]

You forgot about the Brain Surgery...?

The expensive surgury? stfu! i cant spell T_T

to give him his brain back after Scientology removed it.

Not even HE can afford this one on his own.

[DesiredControl107]

It's surgery. Don't worry though, we'll get a brain surgeon fan of his to do it. I'll let you do that research lol.

[Surathan]

I'd still prefer to shoot him...

[DesiredControl107]

I still say he makes good movies and we should keep him for that purpose.

[Surathan]

Fine fine, you can have everything cept his..... left knee cap ^.^

[DesiredControl107]

Alright, we'll run a charity for a fake one. Haha

[Surathan]

freakin tom cruise fans T_T

[DesiredControl107]

Hey, if wants to have a wedding with a hovercraft and 8 of E.T.s cousins that's his prerogative.

[Surathan]

yea, you either have no idea about the Cult of $cientology or you're playing stupid

[DesiredControl107]

I could care less for scientology because it's a load of crap like any other religion. I was kidding about the E.T. hovercraft thing which was actually a joke from VH1 a few years ago when he got married. If he wants to believe in that fucking pointless religion, that's his thing. He makes good movies and I like his characters, not him as a person. Make a robot that his acting skills or clone a sane version of him if you find and way and then do what want with him. I just like his movies. lol

[Surathan]

ah, playing stupid ^.^

[DesiredControl107]

But of course.

[jrev37]

well said, buddy, well said.

[Paxadzor]

god is gay

[MrBeach90]

lol well can't argue lol

[Paxadzor]

i know you cantz, i always are rights n imnots a dark elf v9t u thinks? :|

[MrBeach90]

Yeah, I've said that many times

[midas41]

VFX's new video showing off his camera is a real insight into his deceitful nature. He is filming from his window and one can't help but notice the neighbourhood is filled with mansions. Surely he could have got mummy or daddy to buy a video camera and not that poor schmuck Rick. I see another Benny Hinns in the making.

[thatgaybloke]

I wonder how long it will be before we see PayPal details, or the like, so that you can send donatios for VFX to continue his vital work?

[midas41]

Probably not long, after all he is doing God's work, so it would be absolutely justified. If VFX stopped making those titillating videos with half naked men & the "science vids" based on the OT - Christianity would just lose all it's credibility.

[thatgaybloke]

"after all he is doing God's work, so it would be absolutely justified."

Isn't that the main problem? If you're doing god's work, ANYTHING is justified.

[aivil000]

you got it just right. that's why most of the worst atrocities have been perpetrated by christians. i'm a christian myself and i hate the fact that when I say so I get lumped in with crazies like that guy.

[thatgaybloke]

Is he a Christian? Really a Christian? Look at what VFX and people like him say and look at what Jesus said. How much overlap do you see?

[aivil000]

i know!!! i know exactly what you mean. i used to go to bible camp when i was younger and the amount of hypocrisy and intolerance that i encountered there was staggering. God must be ashamed.

[Eyrdal]

Damn right! The majority of Christian history is written in blood. But, as long as the papacy stands firm, you're good. Fucking Christian hypocrites.

[Karmaunc]

wise words, but I'm not convinced by the sincerity of his appology since he was simply reading a speech prepared by Thunderf00t and his legal experts. I would have prefered to hear him apologise in his own words and mean it, but I'm not sure he's capable of that.

[thatgaybloke]

It's difficult not to by cynical about VFX's integrity.

[MetaMaestro]

you sound like thunderfoot lol. same tone, and calmness lol

[stopplayingchurch]

PREECHY!!! and with just a dash of arrogance perfect recipe for a jerk pie. YUK

[rudedadarkman]

"compassion"? what's that?

[thatgaybloke]

- fade in from black

- cross with Jesus hanging on it outside a church pans into view.

- camera pulls back

- faint wind noise and tumble weed blows in from right of screen front of cross to exit left.

- fade to black.

[rudedadarkman]

huh?

[thatgaybloke]

If you look to religion for compassion you will be met only with empty silence.

[rudedadarkman]

i prefer "vengeance", because i still don't know what compassion is...

[thatgaybloke]

Mercy is definitely more civilised and probably more effective than revenge.

[Spillage66]

I remember seeing the first video of CFX and laughing simply at how symetrical his face was! It interfered with what he was saying (Bollocks anyway!)... But his whole head is like a fucking suel cast mould injected waxwork! Anyone disagree, no mater how purile it seems? HAHAH! Therefore I subject, that his venom derives from the fact that his head mass is composed entirely of a Fluck & Law puppet, and his angst and religious beliefs are merely a viel of which he hides from. HAHAHAHA! Concise vid

[Spillage66]

*VFX, duel and matter. Sorry. I was typing in the dark, and had consumed some vodka.

[MarkBH70]

Danmill23 has expressed he disagreed with you about freedom of speech; however I certainly don't stand up for VenomfangX.

[thatgaybloke]

I seem to have missed that. What particular topic was that on?

The thing about freedom of speech is that it's perfectly OK for VFX to have is opinions and voice them. It's not OK for him to try and censor other people by filing (or having his agents file) fraudulent copyright violation notices.

[MarkBH70]

Hey. I'm sorry; I do not know. I think it was about getting someone off the internet, LucasLabrador I think; it may be removed by user. I agree about freedom of speech.

[jimmyjam9014]

dude i dont get how he lied

[thatgaybloke]

He filed false DMCA complaints against Thunderf00t and then claimed they had been done on his behalf.

Then just to show what a genuine, trustworthy chap he is, VenomFangX posts the apology video, not on his own channel, but somewhere else where his subscribers will not necessarily see it.

Although I can't say for certain whether VFX would have shown the same level of compassion to Thunderf00t, had the situation been reversed, I can make an educated guess.

[jimmyjam9014]

oh so he lied to the dmca saying tfoot did soemting he really never did?

[thatgaybloke]

He also lied about having filed the DMCAs in the first place. Plus some other stuff. I can't remember the details, and I wasn't really that interested. Thunderf00t's video gives a summary. The focus of interest for me was his attempt to silence someone else using a sneaky trick that is pretty commonplace among the religious zealots of all flavours.

[jimmyjam9014]

ohh well vfx is a pretty big liar, he claims he did the research himself but kent hovind did all of it.

[Misterb0z]

The play list on thunderf00t's channel really gives a good indication of just how low that kid sank, if you've got time to look through them all.

[Bhodisatvas]

very well said gaybloke. What these VFX supporters do not understand is that TF let him off lightly and acted with fairness and dignity, he could have pretty much messed up VFX's whole world with court and possible jailtime. I find it funny that throughout this whole thing the only person to show 'christian' values has been Thunderfoot while the people who should have shown these values have lied, manipulated and slandered.

[thatgaybloke]

In spite of the apology, I have my suspicions that VFX and his supporters don't think he did anything wrong. So the apology probably isn't worth much. Still - let's give him the benefit of the doubt for now.

[dazeycutr]

hey sodomite, it is the atheists and evolutionists on youtube who have been the zealots

[thatgaybloke]

I think this posting from you speaks for itself.

[aivil000]

lol irony

[DeimosSaturn]

VFX, i suspect, hasn't learned anything and his apology is completely empty. His arm has been twisted by rational laws set up by this Republic despite those laws being in contradiction with the moral dictates of his holy book. Christians have to be dragged kicking and screaming into compliance with the changing moral zeitgeist, from apologizing centuries later for what happened to galileo to ending slavery. Hopefully, i am wrong about VFX.

[lovelyirene2001]

Freedom of speech is NOT a religious doctrine. So how can these religious zealots EVER understand that?

[DPoem]

Brilliantly said, Bloke.

[timdanaher]

Yes, well said, thatgaybloke...

One from the heart, there.

[FarSideofTown]

As always, nicely said!, .......you have a way with words T.G.B

that I, with my incessant ramblings, would do well to emulate.

And Yes! perhaps the religious zealots could orchestrate some sort of collective/group prayer, and have a word with the BIG CHEESE about re-thinking some aspects of the program. ( in his own interest I would say, ....get with the 21st century a bit! )

[lazyperfectionist1]

Sorry to get off the subject, but what in the world does "Bob's your uncle," mean?

[techrick1210]

It means the same as "Fanny's your aunt" :-)

or job done......

[thatgaybloke]

It means "there you have it", or "and no more needs to be done/said"

[iantheluke]

True true. Basically put, VFX can go eat a big bucket of cow shit. I love being atheist so much I could go out tomorrow and slit the throats of a local priest.

[h8uall66]

What? Why would you do something so horrible?

[lazyperfectionist1]

What in the world does that have to do with loving being an atheist? This strikes me more as an act of vindictive hate better suited to a Westboro Baptist.

[thatgaybloke]

iantheluke - Attacking and murdering people has nothing to do with being an atheist. I am sure that the overwhelming majority of atheists would be appalled just by the sentiment behind your statement, let alone the act itself.

Violence is rarely the answer to solving a problem. I think we should try to be more constructive than advocating harm of our fellow human beings - even in jest.

[iantheluke]

Hey guys,

first of all, I apologize for that comment, I have an over aggresive sence of humour sometimes that baffles even myself, i've been amongst arguments with people who label all atheists as raging murderers, who kill because they have no "faith", so basically I was just taking the piss. (its an australian thing). now that im awake! and reading my comment and reply's, im truly sorry hey, wont happen again! i'll definately make better do with my use of comments for now on.

cheers

[drochalsey]

Here, here...

[unixhead101]

Amen brother ;)

[HappyCabbie]

Great video man. Good job.

[kegs666]

Why isnt the apology video on his own channel...

[thatgaybloke]

I don't know. I'd expected that to be one of the conditions. If I wanted to be cynical, I would suggest that a worm will slither through any loophole.

[kegs666]

Yeah i remember Tf00t said that it was a condition in one of his previous vids that outlined this option as a possible remedy.

VFX obviously doesn't want his subscribers to see this video (cute!)...im sure tf00t will make sure they do though :)...because as you say, this should serve as a warning to zealous nuts trying to undermine free speech.

[az824]

I'm quite annoyed with myself, i honestly though VFX had learned from his censorship when he opened his comment section up but now its painfully obvious he was only doing that to play on thunderfoots humanity. Feinting a changed attitude so he wouldn't get spanked so hard.

Now its over the comments are censored again and any video with open comments has been removed. Damn my naivety!

[redfurrymonster]

It is driving me crazy! I keep pressing it thinking I am pressing the post comment button and then I leave the page only to find out I have to retype everything and sometimes it is just not worth it.

[eequalsfb]

Whenever I am asked, "What are you going to say when you get to the pearly gates?", I reply, "Admit that I was wrong, like a man".

But it's too late after you have evidence, apparently. : (

It's a shame Venomfangx worships a god that is less compassionate, level-headed and reasonable than freakin' Thunderf00t!

Great point, sir.

[OminousVoice]

Valid points, but I'll bet a precious part of my anatomy that VFX rushed recitation of that apology was as disingenuous as everything else he's said regarding the matter. His own arrogance continues to blind him.

[pageboythehumanist]

Well said, TGB.

[thatgaybloke]

I remember my Windows 98 computer came with something like called Microsoft Speech - or something like that. I had quite a bit of fun making it swear and read out filthy limericks.

I'm easily amused too.

[thatgaybloke]

I saw that button. What does it do? Just read your comment out?
