  • Awww my old nemesis 240p we meet again.

  • Just imagine the teachers surprise when she opens the box and there is a fox. Then she's going to believe in the fox, but it will be too late. The fox will by then be out the box.

  • The Placebo effect is your proof of the power of believing.

  • Please don't record stuff with rocks

  • Why? Why? Really why?

    Why is it okay for kids to believe in lies? Because its cute?

    Because when we recall believing in something stupid as a kid, we feel all warm and fuzzy inside?

    Or because parents through generations have embraced this stupidity, so that they dont have to question their religious faith too?

    How come, whenever I utter that I think santa is a plain bad idea, Im accused of hating xmas, joy, innocence, childhood and everything good?

    When all I really hate is lying to children.

  • the power of asshole

  • What's in the box? What's in the box?

  • no kids, the fox isnt real and neither is fox news.

  • What's unspoken is that religion also falls into this category.

  • Reminds me of all the empty boxes the police get called in to investigate for a possible bomb. Or the suspicious white powder found in an ally behind a bakery.

    I'm beginning to wonder if we really did put men on the moon considering our gullible we are. "We need large landing pads to float on the cheese". "Bring a gun to the moon in case the man living in it gives us a hard time"...

  • I'm relived for the children that the guy from 'my dick in a box' wasn't in this video.

    Unless Chris Hansen was the host instead of John Stossel.

  • 1:98 UMMMM I didn't know Santa was fake and im 28. ROFL

  • This reminds me of the many nights that followed after watching "The Sixth Sense" movie. I don't believe in ghosts one bit, but having let my imagination run wild I was suddenly wary to walk down my own hallway at night. Watching serial killer documentaries lately had made me suspicious about the safety of my house. I'm certain this is how religious superstition begins, and is reinforced by church members and elders (who are also "brainwashed" to believe).

  • FUCKING DEAD NIGGER BABY!.

  • "it disappeared" oh how convenient :-P

  • If John Stossel actually had caught fire, that would have made this special all the more amazing. Curse you, principles of heat convection and transfer! (shakes fist)

  • horrible quality

  • this goes same for religious beliefs lol it's scary lol

  • this is awesome..i mean supernatural really? it's all bullshit no one has it

  • maybe putting all that santa bull and easter bunny in their heads when they are young encouraging believing in stupid crap.

    I still have a vivid memory from when I was 5 when I saw santa in my room christmas eve. I know he wasn't and I know he doesn't exist but it just goes to show the lasting impressions that feeding our kids BS leaves.

  • @Berelore Perhaps. Telling kids that Santa is real is no different than telling them God is real. They're told that if they're not good Santa won't bring them presents. Likewise, we tell them that if they're not good they'll go to hell.

  • @NatureOfAscent You show how little you know about God. God doesn't send people if they're not good, because no one is good.

  • @NatureOfAscent "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness." Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due.

  • @NatureOfAscent And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works: "Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered;

    8blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin."

  • @MRKetter81 It's rather pointless to quote the Bible to a rationalist and skeptic.

  • @NatureOfAscent

    Proverbs 12 1 Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge,  But he who hates correction is stupid.

  • @MRKetter81 Of what did you instruct me, and how did you correct me?

  • I'm not lying to my kids about a single thing. They will know from a young age that everything their fellow classmates believe in is false but to respect their beliefs and not to question them.

  • @shady4life1991 Kids should be encouraged to question things, but they should be encouraged to question things in a polite, civil manner.

  • @NatureOfAscent I was talking about things like Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny.  I'm not going to lie to my kids like most parents, but I'm also not going to have my kids piss off other parents by telling their kids those things aren't real. As for God, they'll figure out it's imaginary on their own.

  • @shady4life1991 Fair enough. I believe we're pretty much on the same page.

  • very interesting video.

  • Comment removed

  • It's even more simple when you eliminate arrogance and self-righteousness too.

  • I apologize for offending. Her statement just made me chuckle and I lost self control for a minute. I sincerely apologize if I offended you.

    Blessing to all

  • hearing the kids saying "there IS a fox, there IS", is very reminiscent of adults insisting that: "there IS a god, there IS!"

    lol!!

  • @simsi1616 it's easy to judge people that don't believe what you believe.

    Not everyone believes in a god just because they were told to believe.

  • @videosfromderelix "Not everyone believes in a god just because they were told to believe" you're right, but an overwhelming majority of people believe in a god because they were told to when they were young. The best proof of this is that the no 1 predictor of religious belief is geography.

    Societies which do not believe in god don't have kids who believe in god. It's quite simple really.

  • @simsi1616 Except it's not. My parents believe that christ was the only son of god that an all knowing being (their god) sent down to a speck of dust called earth in the form of an evolved hairless monkey (my words, not theirs) but I'm not really convinced that there is a god. I believe that there could be one, and it seems logical to me but I have no specific religion. The specifics are just silly stories meant to dance around the truth, like an alan moore graphic novel.

  • @videosfromderelix please read my comment again: the NUMBER ONE predictor of religious belief is geography". Plain and simple. Now, I'll concede that there are always exceptions, but scientists have demonstrated that the younger and more viogrously a child is indoctrinated into a certain belief, the harder it is for that individual to alter their beliefs later on.

  • @simsi1616 How could there be that many exceptions? Do you have any proof of this because pretty much everyone I know that was brought up in a strict religious home has left that religion. Is this "study" your talking about something that was done many generations ago? Or was there even a study at all? Seems like your just saying "scientists believe this" and not quoting any specifics, just making up your own "facts"

  • If kids are trained to believe in bullshit from a very young age it's only natural they grow up deluded.

  • Atheism 101

  • These kids must have seriously messed up parents if they believe the easter bunny is real. Weird!

  • LOL 0:17

  • @j95lee I think he said god damn you doctor pea pah

  • Isn't this what all kids do? Doesn't seem very groundbreaking. Just kids being kids.

  • I think his point is that adults aren't so different.

  • @johnj2428

    Rofl.

    Seriously what the fuck did that guy even watch it? Well maybe he watched it but apparently he was more talking about himself lol

  • @Mauhadeeb28 plus it was probably them doing what they thought they were supposed to do, pretend there was an animal in the box. Of course people think kids are so stupid that they must really believe there is a fox in there.
