This guy can take a flying leap! Common sense tells me he is a racist nationalist. America was founded on diversity, and it is our strength! Separation of church and state means removal of religion from government, yes it does! That is to protect you too, asshole! What will he be saying when some community starts including Islamic traditions instead of Christian? I bet he'd be all for the removal of Allah from public life!
Yes, focus on our country first and our schools for the future. Yes, pull out of foreign wars, and stop sending our tax dollars to countries who don't give a damn about us. Yes, drivers license photos should not allow an obscured face.
But the idea that we need one culture and one language (and implied one religion) to be strong is utter bullshit. And somebody please explain to me how medicare and social security can be bankrupt and still operate without collapsing? They may tremendously benefit from more careful management, but they're not going away any time soon, so how is it a reason to give up on single payer health coverage?
And don't start blaming the progressives for the failure to secure our borders and cut off the illegal immigrants. The conservatives had 6 years with an iron grip, and they did nothing! The truth is that it's the big corporations who are the power behind that movement. They want to keep a large cheap labor pool, and their politician lackeys will make the excuses needed to keep that going.
But I must agree with his final message. It is up to us to stay involved and make sure the politicians represent the will of the people. But Mr. "Paine", don't for one second think that you have common sense on your side.
^ Did you even watch the video? How about arguing against his points of contention, rather than spewing opinions?
Is the word "trick" indicative of fraud when used in the context of scientific analysis? Is the travesty of unexplained data something they were trying to hide? Is the 11-year warming and cooling cycle an unsupported guess?
Anything at all that he just said that you can rebut, or are you just going to repeat talking points?
Yeah, they all crack me up, but I'd like it even better if the voices were consistent. The "logical" conversations are cool, but the randomness is half the fun!
Yogi, that ellipses between "A10anis" and "that" was spaced incorrectly and absolutely unnecessary. I will be docking you two points from your final grade.
In regards to TheFreak's comment, I must agree that I appreciate it when artists let me interpret their work without their help. The video by itself, with only the title "Machine with Oil", is excellent and doesn't need further description from the creator.
Also, if you are using limewire or some other peer to peer file sharing application, you better be sure you've never downloaded copyrighted content before reporting to the authorities that you found child porn.
"Yeah, I was downloading a hacked copy of Halo and some movies and some music, and one of them was child porn! I was so shocked, I just had to report it!"
I don't believe for a second that this is the real story. I heard not one sentence from an opposing point of view. Reporting one side of a controversy is *not* journalism, and is not anywhere near reliable.
I have to agree with WP on this one. The vast majority of everybody's complaints here would be solved by stronger controls on politicians that would reduce or eliminate the effectiveness of lobbying. It is the money changing hands in Washington DC that is the root of sooo many problems, both with corporations and with government itself.
Personally, I'm for separation of money and "free speech". One person's or corporation's massive coffers should not give them "more" free speech than the average citizen. Elections should be publicly financed so that politicians cannot be beholden to a small number of donors, or potential donors.
On the topic of the video, Bank of America is not stupid. If it was more profitable to help those people out of debt, they would be doing it. They run off statistics, and not compassion. If it weren't for the apathy of the average citizen, this fact would put them out of business. But the average citizen doesn't care. *That is why this video is important for everybody to see.* If we want to see change in the way business treats people, we have to raise awareness of the cold cruelty that they perpetrate "within the law". It's the only way to effect change.
It just occurred to me that the word "sustainable" will probably replace "green". I think it has more self-evident meaning, and it probably has less political stigma.
Does anyone else think this is happening? Or do you think the two memes will co-exist?
I don't know why, but I can't stop laughing! *tears streaming down face*
Especially the part where Picard's ass scrapes forward on his chair making that horrible metallic scraping noise. And the sound his shirt makes when he pulls on it.
Atheism doesn't rule out the possibility of life after death, it simply is a statement that we would like some kind of evidence before shaping our lives around the idea.
But beyond that, ceremonies and monuments have always been for the living, not the dead. Atheists are just more likely to get that concept than somebody who is afraid the man in the sky is constantly judging them, along with all their dead relatives.
