Cenk Uygur debates Sam Harris
What I'm getting here is that pretty much everyone agrees with nothing. Some thought one guy won, some others thought the other guy won.
Let me break this down very quickly, it doesn't matter who won. No it really doesn't.
What narcolepsy really looks like
With all these disclaimers it's hard to know whether or not I'm allowed to laugh at this.
So just to be on the safe side, I'm gonna laugh my ass off.
The Wire cast reunites to discuss the show’s legacy
Best warning ever "Warning MAY contain strong language."
The scene
Hatsune Miku on David Letterman
Did Gorillaz ever do any of these shows? I'm wondering because they did concerts where the cartoons were projected onto a screen.
Why War is Killing Less of Us Than Ever
Because we find it abhorrent and we've been against massive deaths for awhile. After two World Wars Europe came together and basically decided if they have another one it would probably be the absolute death of everyone. So they started communicating, and I know everyone has problems with the Euro, and Politics and the EU and the UN. But this is the result, the end of massive war deaths. So that's Europe.
Second is the US, basically the lone super power after World War 2 controlling about half of all the worlds wealth. After the 1960s there was a civilizing effect because of all the protests. When Vietnam started nobody knew about the body counts, heck nobody knew that we attacked south vietnam at all. So suddenly there was a demand for information about this war where our kids were dying and we were finding out that they were doing a lot of things our consciousness couldn't tolerate.
So after a ton of protesting and upheaval in the country, so much so that troops were being rerouted to come back to the US to deal with the people the government went underground. They had secret wars, which of course are illegal and immoral however much MUCH less death. They just can't do whatever the hell they want anymore, we won't put up with it.
That's why when people try and compare Iraq to Vietnam I just laugh. There are hardly any comparisons that could be justified. The amount of deaths alone and the results aren't even in the same galaxy. And the reason is one thing, public protest and pressure. Iraq was the first war in human history where there was massive protests BEFORE the war even started.
Then even the Iraqi people protested because they weren't getting a chance to choose their own leaders, have their own democracy. There was nothing about us letting them vote for anything, we didn't want to allow though, and tried whatever we could to stop it. But too many people protested, there was too much reporting done on those protests.
So this is what it is, People. We stopped it, we got up and looked at these millions of dead bodies and said ENOUGH. We're not perfect we fuck up a lot, but if you want to look at what has affected the body counts in War more than anything it's peoples reaction to it. You could say weapons caused that reaction if you want but I prefer to give the people their fair do. We know when something is wrong and we're standing up to it. All over the world it's happening now, take part.
Bill Maher and Ben Affleck go at it over Islam
I also have an opinion.
100 Reasons Why Evolution Is STUPID!
Without having watched the video I can tell you that evolution is quite stupid. It makes tons of mistakes, or really dumb decisions that no engineer would ever make. That's one reason that we know it exists.
Also so far watch this, he seems charming and funny. Doesn't mean he knows stuff.

Real Time with Bill Maher - Racism in America
I've talked about race a lot before on here so I don't really see the point in weighing in on this 'White America' stuff. I'd just like people to look at the youtube comment section on here. Just take a moment and look at what people say when they're anonymous and they don't feel like they're part of a community, like we are here.
Also I love Bunk and I love The Wire.
Real Time with Bill Maher - Racism in America
Slaves didn't build the pyramids.
Um....did you forget what color the slaves that built the pyramids were? Have you heard of indentured servitude? Ever heard of an empire called Rome? Whites HAVE a history of being slaves.
Have you forgotten how the Irish, or German, or Chinese, or Japanese, or Mexican, or.... were treated? White, and other non-blacks have been treated as dirty on mass for the color of their skin, or the lilt of their voice, or the slant of their eyes, really for just about every ridiculous reason man could think of. Blacks have no monopoly on a history of mistreatment of their 'group'.
Do you think ghettos are 100% black? Let me dissuade you of that fallacy...they are not. Many 'white' people have LIVED many if not all of the experiences of people of color, for example, mixed race people (particularly those in the south), adopted white babies in black families, and whites that simply identify more closely with a 'black' community. Not ALL white people are ignorant of the reality and implications of racism. Some are.
Because 'white people' may not have ALL the answers does not mean they should not have a voice at the table discussing racial issues....but they should certainly not be the only voice either....they probably should not be the loudest voice too.

I'll never understand why people don't kick them. They have giant fucking weapons protected by shoes. Kick the fucking things until they learn not to fuck with you!
