Yeah. I'm pretty much a pacifist - but let's be honest: which of us, standing on a mountaintop, hasn't secretly pretended to be Christopher Lambert in Highlander, spinning round and round, wielding a massive 2000 year old japanese longsword and trying to cut off Sean Connery's head?

I hope you'll be posting during Videoblogging Week 2007, Shannon (April 1-7). Anyway, I can understand Ron's point, though I don't really agree with it. I mean, I can see wanting the video to be more balanced, presenting a counteraction to the "violence" presented. But this is all nonsense; this is a simple, sweet video of the soccerkids being soccerkids. If any of us are experiencing violence, maybe it's because we're smokin' the blunt, and feelin' peaceful... See, but I'm only on caffeine, and the kicks and punches and flips suit my mood right now.
