traditional values

[insomniacgrace]

Indeed, tradition is important. Thanks for having this video posted. This is an awakening issue to ponder on.

[jawagolfpro]

Wow its like Harper wrote the ad himself .

[HomogeneousEurope]

Looks like a snobby Kike.

[TheDeadApple]

Nothing wrong with a good old fashon shunnin.

[rolingpingu]

Nice ad, I cant belive ppl that still want old ways from the past in a new and modern world. Many call it heritage, it is ok, but society evolves and that means that some old ways of living just fade away and new ones come.

[Dracopol]

Although he's trying to parody it, traditional values are things we'll all have to go back to. The hippie thinking we've had, fuelled by the violent hippie demonstrations of the 1960's (an outgrowth of the child-tantrums the kids threw in the 50's to hapless post-war parents who didn't want to deny their children anything) has led us to confusion and weakness. A better model is a movie like STARSHIP TROOPERS, based on Robert Heinlein's traditional beliefs: futuristic, but right-wing.

[Dracopol]

@DavidMarine Yes, even "civil rights" laws must be subject to review. When the Blacks were given civil rights laws, there were 25 million more cases of White victims of murder, rape and robbery, and that price was too high to pay.

[Dracopol]

@DavidMarine The parents had a weak spot concerning giving their children too much indulgence, and that boomeranged into scruffy hippie protesters of today. Parents should try to be firm with children in all ways, and authorities should be more firm with their people too, and advanced Western countries should be more firm with the Third-World, who act like children.

[Dracopol]

@DavidMarine No, honestly, there is no contradiction. I am not saying today's culture can take a dominant role over other nations, but if they return to an orderly civilization founded firmly on right-wing philosophy, we can restore the natural order of nations as was found in the 1950's. Protesters will not exist.

[rolingpingu]

@Dracopol They do act like "children", bcuz Advances Western countries are not doing anything to make this world fair for everyone. The UN millennium development goals planned to be achieved in 2015 has not seen any progress and unfair trade is still arround. There's more "dirty money" (profit made unfairly, but legally) that goes from third world contries to advanced countries, than economic aid going from advanced countries to third world countries

[Dracopol]

@rolingpingu Let me tell you a story. Suppose a primitive Amazon tribe, 5,000 years behind us in civilizational achievement, meets us for the first time. We are not interested in their furs or bamboo mats, but they would sell their souls for radios and medicine that actually works. They end up in a severe trade imbalance, and inevitably go poor.  Since they are less of a resource than the land they're on, they naturally get pushed aside. Whose fault is THAT? Theirs.

[rolingpingu]

@Dracopol Indeed, but 3rd-world countries are not 5000 years behind advanced countries, they're just poor and have less enconomic power to face their problems and to grant progress. No 3rd-world country is willing to pay millions for superfluous sutff, but they work to get money so they can implant medicine, security and education. And these are fundamental to make a good society. But when IMF and advanced countries make it difficult for 3rd-wolrd countries, then they're not helping them.

[Dracopol]

@rolingpingu And it's not our responsibility to provide any freebies. I question whether these societies are any good. It's not a matter of poverty; we've had well-behaved poor in Europe and North America (the White countries, oops!) The only favour we should give the Third-Worlders is a massive contraceptive spray delivered to all their citizens via crop-dusting planes. This would be in response to real-estate agents asking, "How much for just the land?"

[Dracopol]

@rolingpingu How the FUCK can you sit there and say primitives are not primitive. No writing, no metals, no democracy, no inventiveness, it's hardly just a matter of POVERTY! Poverty solves itself in a people with actual promise. Crop-dust the rest of the world with contraceptive sprays so they can't have children again!

[MikDonsen]

Turbins in parliment and gay marriage are seperate issues. He's blanket labeling people just like the people he's parodying. Gay marriage is a matter of modernness. I could care less about someone wearing whatever in parliament but I am not a fan of a culture that has no respect for our heritage. Our past has it's flaws but to wipe the history books in favour of other countries cultures just as a modern fad seems bizarre to me.

[downwithbreeders1]

@MikDonsen I think that's the point he is making. Like we're devolving from the intelligent species we once were. Remember kids, screwing your cousin is bad for this reason. Your childern will come out acting like today's americans. Retarded and dysfunctional.

[charleysfarm]

I just love this. People who think we should go back to the way things were seldom really remember how bad it was. Do you realize that it wasn't till 1967, when african americans were guarenteed the right to get married in all 50 states. Up until then, there were 19 states that actually would not allow blacks to marry.

[cameronsmart1]

"like a monkey wrench..or a jar of pennies"

haha

[ico2ico2]

laughter track spoils it

[JimmyeDallas]

It's a tape played in front of an audience, there's no laugh track.

[JumpStartation]

There is no laugh track its live.

[21dostar]

I am a TA and this is hilarious funny! I hope the class can see the "real" meaning of values through this satire piece! "BASTARD" children--LMBO!

[TurqouiseTapioca]

"we'll all be equal. But then what?" lmao, rick mercer is a genius

[XtQfH]

Like we did with your sister when she dated that arab boy in university.

lol

[utube9000]

This...is...so...not...funny.

[COAnews]

this is great, vote anything but Harper

[his1andonly19]

too late- we're screwed for another four years -_-;

[wiretapxscars]

I hope not man... maybe Ignatieff will get the Liberal party's shit together and we will have a PM that is a person, not a robot.

[MisterDaryn]

Rick....Funny dude. A wee bit sarcastic in this one. But, I suppose he is communicating to the far far social right wing that wont get the message without severe sarcasm.

[TAKENnameARGH]

Traditional values* is such a good joke by itself anyway.

[rachelprofile]

i love rick mercer, a true canadian tresure!

[RushandSNLfan]

Ahhhh, nothing's more relaxing than a good ol' internet fight! Seriously, fighting over the internet is like winning the special olympics: even if you win, you're still retarded.

[JosesDonkey2112]

lol!! omg that is so terrible! funny....but so terrible. i am going to hell for laughing at it.

[stroinado]

"America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between." oscar wilde

[FagDrag]

Half Roxas, half Sephiroth, eh?

I agree though, everyone should be equal. Except the obviously superior white man. JOKE! That was a JOKE!

[SephiroxasSilvera]

XD Everyone is silly.

I like Girls.

I like boys.

I have an open mind and the world should get over it. XD XD

[kraisins]

THIS IS HILARIOUS!

[vinnyflintoff]

Thank God i live in America, not a pussy immoral country like canada.

[filmprophet1]

Listen, bitch. If I find out who you are. I will personally bust your fucking jaw, you arrogant slave driving, aboriginal massacering, retarted president supporting motherfucker

[vinnyflintoff]

I'm actually an asian-american, how does that make me "arrogant slave driving, aboriginal massacering" person. where's your so-called liberal tolerance of other opinions?, what about diversity that you so vehemently preach about?. Same old hypocrites, diversity & free speech as long as you agree with the liberal agenda. I'm glad i got under your skin

[filmprophet1]

before I rip you a knew one for insulting a country without doing your homework, let Canada now get any holier than thou. We are guilty of Sending asians in concentration camps during WW2. We have the highest emissions of Carbon Dioxide and we are very underpopulated.

First of all, I am NDP, which is a Socialist party.

Second of all, it is a conservative agenda led by Jean Poutine.

Third, We are so not pussies. We beat the american's ass in 1812 and we won't need to do it again.

[musixgyal]

lol, that time you had the support of the mighty british empire. I just feel sorry for my fellow conservatives in canada, who have to put up with CBC's liberal bias, & political correctness. Canada is now where Denmark & most western european countries were in the 90's. In a decade your so-called utopian multi-cultural, diversity, political correctness country will probaly spiral downwards. Its not a matter of "If" but "When"

[filmprophet1]

The liberal bias CBC makes up for the National Post and Edmonton Journal's conservative Bias under Conrad Black and the School's NDP bias and the grocery store's Green Party bias and that leaves nobody for the communist party.

CBC has done as much bashing of Liberals as Conservatives. For example, the fake Liberal Ads on "The Rick Mercer Report" accusing Harper of Owning a dragon and ending with "Let's see how badly we can lose this thing"

[vinnyflintoff]

this comment was actually made by me

[BuffaIoBill]

"We beat the american's ass in 1812 and we won't need to do it again."

Who's "we"?

You mean Britain and all it's colonies including YOU. And oh yes, you won't "need to do it again" because the US is benevolent enough to let you live side by side it "independently".

[ngfrost]

''let'' ''benevolently'' dude lets look at it this way, if the us tried to attack canada, your country will be whiped off the face of the earth

[rolingpingu]

@filmprophet1 NDP might be more left winged that others, but it's far from being socialist.

[filmprophet1]

First of all, Liberal tolerance can only go so far when someone insults my country. It was just plain uncalled for.

Besides our country is much more moral than your fascist Bush administration. That's right, it's fascist with the CNN and Fox propoganda.

And admit it, the Patriot Act is the abuse of the rights your founding fathers died for. No wonder the other countries are annoyed at the US, because it is out of place with the outside world

[filmprophet1]

Alright, I admit I overreacted, REALLLLLLLLLLLY Overreacted on the first comment and it was inexcusible. Your comment was stil uncalled for, besides your country is guilty of those crimes. We can put up with having to be economically dependent to the USA(we have no choice since we are overpopulated) and constant pressure by the Bush administration, but you are in no obligation to be calling Canada immoral. I laugh at you for you don't know shit about Canada and don't care.

[ronnykmarshall]

Fuck off. Get off the PC and go get your robe and hood at the dry cleaners.

[caleighis]

because he is amazing! hahaha....

[ALSmithey]

The man is a national treasure!

[dipper45]

Go Rick Mercer! I'm glad he's Canadian; he gives a great social commentary.

[vsutton1964]

Mercer is a gay liberal. This little clip was paid for with Canadian tax dollars (lets audit the CBC and find out how much it cost) and is designed to criticize Conservative policies on traditional marraige. Canadians should be outraged and ashamed that this "crap" is being promoted as culture. Any child raised by Mercer and his "boyfriend" would end up in therapy for the rest of his or her life.

[Freecell82]

Translation: You're a homophobe and you resent being called on it.

[grman]

its funny then how that gay liberal is soooo much more intelligent that you....I would rather audit CSIS and see how much it costs to have you assassinated.

ass

[vsutton1964]

How do you find the time to post comments on YouTube? Shouldn't you be working on your costume for the next Pride Parade? Oh, and good luck on that assasination thing.

[amesmb]

I hope 1964 isn't the year of your birth- that Pride Parade comment was downright childish.

[vsutton1964]

Mercer is a liberal propagandist and his "job" is to promote an agenda and a set of values that are contrary to the best interests of Canadian society. There's nothing funny about a gay man pretending to be straight.

[amesmb]

You're looking way too much into this. He's a comedian- 90% of comedians nowadays make fun of politicians and social issues. He isn't promoting an agenda any more than any other political satirist out there. Whether he's funny is an individual's opinion.

Not that there's much point in arguing....

[DeanHarper]

He parodies the liberals just as much (if not more so) than anyone else, you would know that if you have ever seen a full episode of the Rick Mercer Report or 22 Minutes. And there is nothing wrong with him being gay, we are in Canada where that kind of thing is perfectly fine.

Long Live Mercer and Canadian Comedy

[vsutton1964]

There is nothing "perfectly fine" about state funded culture promoting a liberal bias which is contrary to the traditional values of Canadians. Mercer and the rest of the mainstream Canadian media will do and say anything to defeat Conservative policiy.

[DeanHarper]

Do you think before you talk, or just spew garbage and walk away? You do realize you wrote a contradicting statement right? Talking about a liberal bias and then saying they are trying to overthrown the conservative policy kind of puts a hit on both sides. Whose team are you on? (unless you are a 12 year old who knows jack shit about what you are talking about, in which case shut up and stay in school)

It is perfectly fine and you are just a crybaby who doesnt like how other people do things.

[vsutton1964]

I know it's difficult for you to understand; Conservatives support traditional family values, liberals don't. Mercer's sketch (paid for with Canadian tax dollars) mocks and ridicules Conservative policy on this issue. Mercer is a liberal propagandist who aggressively promotes gay culture in an effort to shame Conservative policy.

[DeanHarper]

'aggresivly promotes gay culture'? What the fuck does that mean? He was doing sketches on tv long before he came out of the closet. I think you are just a whiny conservative homophobe. And have you even bothered seeing some of the things he did against the liberals?

Its not the Mercer acts in opposition to the conservatives, he just makes fun of who ever is in power!

[shellycoat]

He aggressively promotes gay culture? Well thank God someone does - if it were left to people like you what kind of a world would that be?!

[MyName20088002]

One where people didn't run around sinking as many drugs, porn, and Fn'g anything on two or four legs possibly?

[radiofan6872]

Mercer? No, he doesn't. He is gay, but he doesn't say anything about it on TV. He just leaves his personal life out of it.

And anyway, just being for gay marriage doesn't mean you're aggressive in any way, or that it promotes any particular facet of the wide range that is gay culture.

[noah330033]

how the hell is mercer report state funded?

you are a stupid, whiney piece of shit with the humor of a conservativ wallflower. And with your frequent refrence to rick mercer being gay, your only proving your own insecurity... LOSER

[megalosaniac]

Wow, fourth-grade humor is AWSUMZ!

[ronnykmarshall]

How do you find time to post? Shouldn't you be hoppin' the truck to pick your wife/cousin up at DQ from work?

[desmondpwns]

shut your face the conservatives cut the funding for the cbc stupid

[rolingpingu]

@vsutton1964 I don't know too much about Mercer and his boyfriend, I know my kids won't be raised by him BUT I would prefer this guy raising my kids than a priest or a rich guy with a high place in bank of america

[discoverwhaturmissin]

@rolingpingu  Especially a priest , who denied marriage etc, usually end up raping the children. And the catholic (and yes evangelical) churches hide these vile crimes, keeping the molesters for it is the molesters who bring in the money.

Oh he's so frickin' funny.

Rick Mercer is like Canada's own John Stewart.

[desmondpwns]

[SighSnootles]
