I decided to throw caution to the wind -- unsifted videos aren't so bad after all. How's my star look?

Legitimate excuses. I guess we'll let you get by with quality over quantity.
In reply to this comment by nibiyabi:
It's a rather unfortunate combination of a lack of free time and a fear of submitting a poorly-received video.

Your sift rate is depressingly low when you look at the average quality of your submissions.

Wow, why is this not on the front page?
I noticed that you voted for the trailer for 10 MPH (about a Segway roadtrip across America) a while ago...
Well, the filmmakers have posted the ENTIRE FILM online and I just submitted it to the Sift. Enjoy!

Description of Burden of Proof
Burden of Proof is a fallacy in which the burden of proof is placed on the wrong side. Another version occurs when a lack of evidence for side A is taken to be evidence for side B in cases in which the burden of proof actually rests on side B. A common name for this is an Appeal to Ignorance. This sort of reasoning typically has the following form:
Claim X is presented by side A and the burden of proof actually rests on side B.
Side B claims that X is false because there is no proof for X.
In many situations, one side has the burden of proof resting on it. This side is obligated to provide evidence for its position. The claim of the other side, the one that does not bear the burden of proof, is assumed to be true unless proven otherwise. The difficulty in such cases is determining which side, if any, the burden of proof rests on. In many cases, settling this issue can be a matter of significant debate. In some cases the burden of proof is set by the situation. For example, in American law a person is assumed to be innocent until proven guilty (hence the burden of proof is on the prosecution). As another example, in debate the burden of proof is placed on the affirmative team. As a final example, in most cases the burden of proof rests on those who claim something exists (such as Bigfoot, psychic powers, universals, and sense data).
Examples of Burden of Proof
Bill: "I think that we should invest more money in expanding the interstate system."
Jill: "I think that would be a bad idea, considering the state of the treasury."
Bill: "How can anyone be against highway improvements?"
Bill: "I think that some people have psychic powers."
Jill: "What is your proof?"
Bill: "No one has been able to prove that people do not have psychic powers."
"You cannot prove that God does not exist, so He does."

Yes, where does lie the burden of poof?
/couldn't resist
“Which would cost billions, unfortunately, due to the fact that the US has the most sprawling and intricate transportation network on Earth, making replacing the millions of miles of train tracks a more than daunting task. It will probably be a hundred years before the majority of US trains are high-speed.”

“Just thought you'd like to know that I changed the embed code to digitalfilmmaker's original piece. Thanks for the heads-up!
In reply to your comment:
“I love askaninja but I refuse to give any views or votes to people who have copied the videos from the original askaninja. YouTube user 'digitalfilmmaker' is the only original poster. All others just copy.””
It looks like you originally had this one and settled for an older version after it went dead.
