  • Hey.. I understand fully the "mirror" theory when you accuse someone of something but what if its fact.. Meaning,, I have a room mate.. he smells bad. he stinks up the whole house.. IF I tell him to clean up his stuff is that because I smell?.. no.. but because he is affecting the entire house not just him.. so how would u deal with this?.. thanks..

  • Good vids man.. dont worry bout the left brain people.. they no not what they do.. they are no more than your typical dog that fetches for reward lol..

  • Your words are correct. I read the negative comments and wonder why they bother spending the time to write them. People that follow your videos believe in what you are doing and appreciate that you spend the time trying to just help people. Cheers to you and what you are doing.

  • that's something to think about,. with this being said though, how would you confront someone who is doing something hurtful or that bothers you without being hypocritical?

  • You have a reverse hitler moustache!

  • so if i acuse you of being cute does that mean that i'm cute

  • Question: If We CAN see their point of view, and understand why they think they're right, and yet they still refuse/can't see ours... Is it safe to call them narrow-minded at that point?

  • @Seth95626 no you should call em dumb asses

  • what about just dont argue? then we dont have to win.

  • You're words are right, but your hands are saying something else.

  • no offence, but saying that what someone is acusing some is what they are seems kind of illogical at times and a stupid claim. If all arguments went that way it would be an endless loop back and forth. Also sometimes people are what you say. Lets say some guy is del on the idea that dinosors never did exist and you call him closed minded. he is defintly closed minded b/c there are so many ways to prove dinosours exited. If you listen to his ideas and think about them then your not closed minded.

  • In short " your language gives you away"

  • Dont let the turkeys get you down. You're a great presenter, articulate, with an excellent voice that conveys sincerity well. You have large, beautiful eyes; they're very expressive. Use them to help communicate with your audience. Just take off your glasses when you are speaking to the camera; unless you're reading a script on the screen - which I dont think you are - you dont actually need them while recording your videos. It doesnt matter if you cant see the camera, it can still see you.

  • You might want to think about keeping your guitar hydrated (more so in the winter) in a case. It prolongs the life of it through preventing cracks.

  • Thank you so much. I usually speak out of emotion when I'm angry. This is ecinatley helpful. I will try to not splurt out random half true accusations.

  • You are very good at taking a step back and really understanding where the feelings and words are coming from, I enjoyed the video thanks

  • someone made fun of me on youtube. Make a 7 minute video about it. WIN+BOSS.

  • You know you have won the argument when the other person resorts to a personal attack.

  • smart guy

    

  • feel u bro

  • I agree with you that often, especially in a daily context, people do project when they accuse. But not always; sometimes people are manipulative, homophobic, racist, sexist, and pointing that out does not mean you are.

  • Youtube is like a giant network of bridges, each with its own trolls.

  • @kokopelli314 I thought youtube was a series of tubes made of cats :/

  • @RustlessPotato That would be "MewTube"

  • Insightful and perceptive but not particularly enlightening as to how this wins you every argument.

  • @IntrepidMoocher his point is that the argument is with ourselves. You win it by realising that. If you can realise that to its extent it is very enlightening.

    You can't ever blame anyone else for anything cuz there's 3 fingers pointing right back. You're only judging some aspect yourself. You kinda need to have the apiphany to really grasp it

  • this is crazy :D in the good way

  • Adolf Hitler was an asshole. Does this statement make me an asshole ?

  • your video opened my mind . thank you so much ^^

  • don't know if someone said this earlier, but it seems like the title "how to prevent an argument" would be more suitable for this vid.

    I also think it would have been cool if you'd given some practical examples on how to change wording to avoid sounding like what you're accusing the other person of being.

  • but still, I never start out being mean. But when they call me a troll or that I'm a loser who has no life I get angry because I feel like they are dismissing my complaints as childish. I am not proud about some of the things I've said which is why I want to learn some better techniques in discussing differing points of view about any topic. whether it be a tv show, religion, politics etc. Is there any good books out there that could help? I would love to learn to argue my pov more effectively.

  • I'm not perfect but I feel I have some valid complaints that a family show has gotten way too sleazy. Now some people may not agree with that and think all the sexual innuendo's are great. But why must they try and shut down my complaints by calling me a troll, or telling me to just stop watching a show that I've watched for 30 yrs. I have a life, spouse, children, a job, etc. so I hardly qualify as a no-life nerd. I would like to make better comments or arguments. Maybe I get mean when crossed

  • So if someone is accusing me of being an arrogant faggot in that moment in time they to are arrogant faggots? Or if someone is accusing me of being homosexual?

    I like the vid :) I try not to accuse people because well i dont want to start shit, and usually dont know 100% so I ask questions not insult them. I was thinking about the quote "Don't argue with idiots because from far away people can't tell who is who".

  • Wonderful ideas and thoughts. I found it very helpful. Thanks for all that you are doing!

  • Ron Paul embodies the content of this video ...Ron Paul accurately presents the case of the other person and then presents his viewpoint on the issue he wants to talk about. None bias, mutually fair, none prejudice (not the racial kind) way of communicating his case or viewpoint is what I have been practicing with the goal of improving the quality of my perspective of any giving matter. Sometimes I'm misinformed and other times I'm partially informed this is why I follow the ideas above :)

  • @Vvrroommm the title is 100% reflective and accurate of the content. you win an argument by getting over the need to engage in such a low manner of relating to another human being. i think people miss the point because they are still stuck in the box and wanting to beat others, rather than look at the mis-steps in their own minds. thats why i made the video and titled it as such.

  • @herbgardner00 I understand.. good day

  • Good day Brandon .... goooood content delivered in an automatic none rehearsed genuine way.. Keep being you bro regardless of my opinion or anyone else.. I like how you do your best to be a good person ..maybe one day your effort will be able to please everyone :)

  • Good video! What is an argument? An argument is two opposing viewpoints and each believing that their viewpoint is the right one. What if you are able to include both. Then that would be a win/win situation and that takes communication. That is a door we mustn't close.

  • Sorry, but where in the video did you say how to win an argument. Avoiding an argument isn't the same as winning an argument..

  • @cruxminister I think the only way you can win an argument, is to avoid it entirely.

    Arguments just cause a flow of stress, stress isn't fun.

  • @JessAlexanderD

    Why argue about this anyways? you do not enjoy fun?

  • the problem with you is that the quality of the facts by which you support your arguments are either cheap or common place. for example, using relaxation as a way of improving energy is a typically cheap argument, which is supported by weak empirical grounds. one easy way to prove it comes from physical exercises, which are known to be the most if not only successful way for energy improvement. therefore, questioning the quality of your OWN argument is a healthy attitude.

  • i think that this a true vidoe witch it was but if i call someone judgementel and they say the same thing then i say why do you copy every one how did i copy every one i dont mean to afend you please reply

  • i love your way of thinking,im15 and i love quantum physics and neurology,and even though i know about possibility that contradicts our perception of our nervous system,this video,and your other ones really remind you,and i hope to again apply such ways to life!thanks

  • Can't win an argument with someone with little or no understanding of an issue.

    David. S.

  • I watched your video because i wanted to know how to WIN an argument! You should have titled the video " How to lose an argument by giving up all together."

  • you have a good head on your shoulders mate, good job

  • Your an ass! LOL.. not really. I come to unwind, and unfortunately one way for me to unwind here on youtube is to point out flaws of other people, I already know of my own flaws, but if people make baseless useless comments, I just can't hold back. LOL plus to me, if one is taking this crap too seriously, they shouldn't be here. I know I don't stress about anything I say here on YT. Good video overall and thumbs up.

  • No really sometimes people are just morons. It's that simple. I may be guilty, its an adhom, but it's also an observation, and I'm speaking my opinion. Really moronic ideas today that I've seen on YT 1; the universe has consciousness. 2; We all have a collective consciousness. 3; proof of god in 30sec. Ya these are idiotic and moronic ideas in my opinion, and I'm going to let them know that.

  • this would be usefully for my trolling thx

  • _part 2_ to video i liked you a lot and to me found it very helpful especially towards using it as a life application and in my life i am actually sitting here thinking about recent events and i realized that i have been complaining about something to someone but i was doing the same thing so i just want to say thank you for taking the time out to make this video :)

  • _Part 1_Hey i know this is a random question i am going to ask but i am trying to learn how to read micro expressions/body language so i have been practicing on people on youtube and the two things i think i saw was that being called Narrow is something that really angered you more then the other comments you named and towards the end of the video you felt sort of content knowing that you sort of shut those people up if you have the time please let me know if i was correct but in regards

  • Cool vid, but it doesn't always work. When you call someone a homophobe, a racist, or a sexist... are you being homophobic, racist, or sexist?

  • @ColignyForever not to comment for him but in my opinion it kind of does if i call you a racist i am most likely using it in a negative manner saying that people like you are bad so i actually would be acting prejudice against racist people if that makes any sense

    just wanted to add my 2 cents since i am half black/white and i personally don't find anything wrong with someone being racist i just feel its a matter of personal opinion (as long as it does not effect anyone else feel how u want imo

  • look at this guy, should be on doctor phil n shit

  • I have found repeating the words "That"s Fine" at critical junctures disarms most argumentative people by blending agreement with sarcasm that confuses the opponent. Remaining very calm as you say these two words makes the person reflect upon his/her emotions.

  • YOU R RIGHT - It SIMPLE AND COMPLICATED @ the same time.

  • ya are a genius

  • oh my gosh marry me now.

  • why do you only shave the hitler part of your mustache, bro?

  • Smash that guitar over something.

  • Hey Brandon, Periodically, moving on and taking the next step will shift a person from a phase of long term calm and equanimity into a state of dynamic and chaotic flux. It's often necessary and can be the only way to reorganize on a new level. Been there many times and expect I will be again. Probably soon and not for the last time. I'm honored to accompany you in this time of change and development. I think you handle it with uncommon candor and reflectiveness, and you haven't shut us out.

  • good luck explaining this to politicians...

  • I think the concept of trying to win an argument is caused by a breakdown in communication between two differing opinions when they fail to accept they may learn something from an alternate point of view. Of course I'm assuming bigotry, hatred or prejudice isn't the cause of an argument.

  • Love your vids bro

  • Am I being "narrow" if I call you a pretentious cunt for filming yourself in front of a guitar and book case and pretending you didn't do that deliberately so people know that you play guitar and read?

  • @buckdich1 your comment is classic lmao, brilliant

  • finally i found some one who thinks the same way i do!! the video is the exact thing i think everyday...

    nice video..

  • Ok so my bf's friend told me not to question his judgment wat does that even mean?? Like seriously all I said to her "it was weird how tre would lend his phone to a friend and he would have told me" please reply back n thank uu :)

  • Well said.

  • That was awesome, but I don't know why ... awkward sensation

    holy hot-dog in a toaster you look like seymour birkhoff

  • great vid man, So true

  • You are saying it almost as if no one should dare to accuse anyone of being judgemental because by accusing that person we're being judgemental. Put yourself in a positon where person is being really, really judgemental. You tell him/her so. Does that mean you're same as him/her? I don't think so.

  • @RandoMonkeyz It doesn't mean you're the same, obviously, but it does make you a hypocrite. Either way you're showing the same characteristics he / she is.

  • @GGPvideos You can show same characteristics to a different degree. Just because person A has flaws does not make him as bad as person B who has those same flaws but, unlike person A, he is not shy about showing everyone his flaws any time he has a chance to do so. Not same.

  • @RandoMonkeyz A person that shows their flaws in my opinion is better than a person that hides them. Who are you to say who the worse person is? The point is, that you are doing the same thing they're doing by accusing them of it. The degree you're doing it at doesn't matter.

  • @GGPvideos So, lets get this clear, you say "A person that shows their flaws in my opinion is better than a person that hides them." I suppose you'll conclude that person that shows no apparent flaws is just hiding them well while person that shows his flaws is being honest and deserves more respect. Nice logic there.

  • I try to always look inside to see where something happening outside is hidding. Because foundation for everything is inside us. Even if I believe I'm right and someone else is wrong, this isn't true. We're all right and wrong at the same time. And this isn't that important also, the only thing that matters is what we can learn out of situations.

  • hi ;)

    very interesting reflections you have there... thank you very much... and whats with all the hate? cant people appreciate good advice if its not just the way "you" would give it? how about saying thanks or make a better video.

  • this however does not detract from the truth of your statement in this video, often times the accuser is exhibiting the exact behaviour they are accsing another of, but it is hardly a 100% situation therefore negating your argument that you can use the knowledge of statements to "win" an argument. there is only 1 way to end arguments, by understanding

  • hypotehically speaking, if you ARE closed minded and DO NOT think about things and someone calls you on it, how exactly is that them reflecting if the person making the accusation is NOT closed minded and DOES think about things, if i know a fact for certain and you argue against it and i say you are not thinking about it correctly, this does not mean I am not thinking about it correctly, also you fail to mention how this WINS an argument, because its not about winning, its about seeking truths

  • Dude. I just told someone about the points: a and b that you just told me and da answer was: YOU JUST want to look smart (something like this in my language) what do you think. What could i tell this person. Seriously someone help me xD

  • "There is something I really don't like about that person; in myself" always loved that one.

  • Your boring. Does that make me boring?

  • @MANDEMS4LIFE ....more than likely...since your post wasn't that interesting...but then again..keeping in line..neither is mine. LOL

  • this is so true. this is actually a realization i've come to recently. while getting sucked into arguing with people online, i've figured out a lot about myself when i went back and read what i had written.

  • Do you know "The 4 agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz? Several of his ideas are relevant to the concept in this video. I think you'd like it

  • So when I tell someone to get back in the kitchen, I am the one who needs to get back to the kitchen. This is eye opening =D

  • I checked this video out when you first posted it.... and i'm STILL thinking about it! I tested it out, and whenever I judge someone I am guilty of the exact thing.

    Not 8/10 times. every. single. time.

  • @Kamehameha0110 wow, i find that to be true for myself as well!

  • :) im sure you already know some people are just dumb and we don't really have to question why they say what they say, because most of the things they say are simply stupid.... and people ask why do they do that? why do they say mean things for no good reason? well because they're dumb. It all goes back to them. - I like your vids btw :)

  • You are very wise and correct in your assessment of those situations and it is clear to me that the best way to 'win an argument' with such people is to ignore them altogether. Right? That's what I do.

  • HELL YESSS!

    keep doing, what your doing!

  • Haha those bitches wish they were you!

  • Brandon, I'm new to your videos. I have so much research.

    I have something to "accuse " you of already..lol......You're FaNtaStiC!!.

    You're so calm in your approaches to what you choose to share. I thank you for taking the time and sharing what benefits your experience. Great first experience with you and I'm looking forward to the many others. Thank you for your friendship. Btw, I did subscribe to your channel.

    Be as you are and continue to grow in your experience.

  • Truly, I've given up arguing (aside from the random mood-swing-of-Venus, ha!) and you know, I'd much rather just sit and have discussions. Especially when an argument turns into character judgments and pointing out of others flaws....there is no point at all and it's rare that such things come from a place of Love.

    "When one experiences truth, the madness of finding fault with others disappears." ~Goenka

    Stefan Molyneux also has a nice speech somewhere on here about healthy discussions....

  • dude, the lighting stands out like dogs balls in this computer chair scenario. Top notch lighting. makes a difference

  • @jambinz thanks

  • ..., in fact the more I look and think about you, the more unhuman you become to me. I would like to see more of your darker side this would bring about an appropriate balance.

  • Offering solutions to things that we really should just learn through experience only adds to the problem of trying to find quick fix solutions for everything, which isn't always the best way. Also, you may not think that you are a stereotype but given the number of patterns your personality follows and your general demeanour, its clear you are. I don't particularly like your brand of stereotype...

  • @EvilestGem then dont watch if you dont like it.

  • @herbgardner00 dude.u.play./guitar?:D

  • @EvilestGem "given the number of patterns your personality follows" Whose patterns does his personality follow? Yours. Because only you are capable of knowing what you think is his stereotype.

  • @EvilestGem Experience doesn't always come with quick fix solutions, but the whole point of his video was to adhere other opinions to your personal experience and instead of confrontating other opinions was to illustrate your experience by comparing other's experience, not contrasting so henceforth everyone's experience's take different amounts of time to comprehend.

  • @EvilestGem He's not offering a quick fix , he's explaining something about human behavior and communication. Most people go through life completely unaware of how easily one can trick the human mind. Being able to recognize certain forms of communication and/or influence helps you to be a better communicator. Learning through experience is great , but to say this must be learned through experience is like saying you should learn a language by experience and not 'cheat' by taking lessons...

  • @EvilestGem Exactly! DON'T watch. It's that simple.

  • So let me get this right. If I'm being a dick, then you're being a dick, thrice?

  • @EvilestGem no, i dont think that is correct.

  • Comment removed

  • do you find it hard to hold your emotional ground in all situations? I'm a person that's easily moved by other energies, while also a social chameleon. It's funny when you've acted a certain way your whole life without every really knowing it.

  • It seems like those relationships where theres a lack of personal space may need to be severed.For me, it's really cluttering and feels almost needy/attacking to me. I get like this with my family too. It seems to be either attack or repression and no room for personal space. Over time I'm leanring to practice to be open and let others be them while I'm me. But with other factors going on such as social confusion its a messy situation, as I'm sure you can imagine.

  • yeah, personal space is important. I had a funny thing happen after asking you this question. I was in a conversation with my "best friend" from 3rd grade who I seem to feel very crowded by lately, and I noticed that I can feel what he's feeling and he can feel what I'm feeling. When that happens the convo can go no where because theres no emotional ground.

  • @TheCaseyInman i think i know what you mean. i have some relationships like that as well and in some ways its tricky and in others its pretty liberating. liberating in the sense of you are more motivated to be legit w eachother because you can feel the other, literally.

  • When I watch your videos I becomes so happy because you are so sincere. Your words, thoughts and sentiments speak to the heart. I hope you received confirmations of the Spirit.

  • @RadiantMagnificence thank you ! 

  • And finally: I reallyliked this video a lot.

    And also (lol) my strategy recently I just wanted to share: is that I stopped believing in knowledge in general. Even though I would acknowledge some things can be known, I embody like a religion that knowledge simply = data. Some data is weighted more than others but it is just data. This allows me to perceive health information with an open mind. It is difficult at first, becase our beleifs = our attachments. Letting go has been amazing for myself

  • @RawAthlete the map is not the territory :)

  • @herbgardner00 i do notunderstand but iwll think about it. Which is the map you're referring to?

  • @RawAthlete its a concept rooted in general semantics and popularized in NLP. google that quote and youll see what i mean

  • TO conclude: your second "accuser" i this video did not have to be perceived by you as an accuser. Thus, he is not guilty of what he is accusing you of, but does practice what he preaches, hence what he does say applies to him. THis is the same thing you said about accusations applying to us so I hope that makes sense. If I tell somebody that they don't know anything, I would agree that I do not either. In this scenario, and the one you shared, it's okay for both parties to embody some trait

  • Certainly I do not know the exact comment what it was and how it was typed, but for myself, I like viewing everything as a potentially intellectual though-provoking argument so I avoid thinking of things like "accusations" or "hypocritical." Accusations do exist, hypocrisy may exist, but I wold tend ot agree that what we perceive as hypocrisy, may not be true. same with a conspiracy, They may not exist. Words confine meanings.

  • (I dno how many paragaphs it will be but I am very interested in this video so please bear with). However, let's take the example of a non-confrontational intellectual arguments. You may argue this is not too practical, most pepole will get heated. It's possible not to of course, and it is something I practice. In this case, your second example is something I'd view as the beginning of a purely intellectual debate, not an accusation. He may have been merely sharing his views of reality to you

  • You're right, this type of behavior is built into our psychology, but we should stop. I believe I have. I was alittle confused at first, because you are speaking of a confrontational argument. From my perspective, many people view things as controntational when they are not meant to be in nature. I like intellectual debates, like these for example, but most people, who follow those things hardwired in their psychology, start getting "heated," hence we have the terms "heated debate.

  • then everything you said is another perception of that perception, an acusation of another acusation. just multiplying words with no reason

  • Have you considered the fact that you may be experiencing someone elses emotions and not your own?

  • @TheCaseyInman yeah, that can happen. i think that issue relates back to spleen chi and healthy boundaries.

  • I like how you are.

  • I wish I had understood that about accusations years earlier. It sure would have made life alot easier. When this was first proposed to me, I was astonished. Years of watching it in others and myself, proved to be true.

    Thanks for pointing this out. You'll be saving alot of good folks from alot of misery.

  • @silkcat51 i too learned this that hard way. i feel all of us are prone to this and becoming aware of it can help to dis-empower that tendency.

  • I appreciate your vids.

  • This information is vital! if we are to really be honest we would admit that everything we perceive we quickly write a story about that thing or person. From that point we look for things to confirm our ass-u-mptions. When in reality we are creating the outcome in our imagination and projecting onto the planet. When we argue, we are arguing with ourselves. Be an observer and notice what stories you are writing. These stories are creating the life you are living. Thanks 4 Posting!

  • ar·gu·ment/ˈärgyəmənt/Noun

    2. A reason or set of reasons given with the aim of persuading others that an action or idea is right or wrong.

    It all starts with an Intention. If your intention is to "Win" you participate in and experience polarity. I would have presented this idea differently. One can investigate and "discharge" a situation by investigating with compassion. Ask more questions. See if, by stepping out of 3D conditioning , we can allow it to run its course organically

  • I don't think all arguments can be won. I think arguments are for reaching a mutual understanding of something based on logically sound reasoning. I agree that in fact most of the times people involve their egos into arguments and then they start to get emotional about it just for the sake of proving them right rather than the sake of argument itself. So I abandon such arguments ASAP.

    Although I disagree with your video title but you had wise suggestions/points about these arguments.

  • @WiseGuyFTW the point of my video was actually much bigger than simply winning or losing an argument. keep in mind the title is merely that, just a title.

  • @herbgardner00 Yeah I agree though it surely got my attention and you made very sound points so i m happy to stop by ... keep it up :)

  • @WiseGuyFTW thanks so much, i appreciate your thoughts :)

  • yeah, but life do not work that way dear dude ! the whole world is constantly pointing the finger at you actually...all u can do is do absorb it and never do or say anything back...well, i cannot live that way, and i am sure there a are other people like me as well...i cannot imagine who i would be of i were always listening other ppl shit at me, and just sob, and never stood up for myself..i would have killed myself for sure...

  • @stalkerv334 no where in my video did i say you should take abuse from others and not stand up for yourself.

  • Dude, your on FIRE lately!!

    Loving your vids.....good job with the lighting.

    ....just wondering on the side if you've recently aquired a Magnetico Sleep Pad?

  • @jambinz thanks. i havent had any experience w. the magnetic sleep. what about you?

  • @herbgardner00 Hey man sorry for the late reply.

    I'm very close to sold on the Magnetico thanks to Liverawkstar on Youtube.

    He seems heaps more chill'd than usual. Like a dramatic change all of a sudden, not over the top, but very noticable. So it has my ear very close in that direction.

    Iv'e also noticed a change in you, your Youtube presentation. I don't know if it's the guitar in the background or the new girlfriend, somethings up! Energy Shift! noticable AS!

    thought it was Magnetico

  • Love this vid Brandon, amazing insights brother <3

  • To win the argument you have to convince others that you have right. Because both of you have their own thinking. 

  • @K0lsyr4 i just want to re-iterate, the point of my video was actually much bigger than simply winning or losing an argument. keep in mind the title is merely that, just a title.

  • *This is stupid*.Yeah, its what I think about it, and I am the judge that makes the decision about what stupid and what not. So for you to win this argument you have to prove "to me" that it is actually smart. And the defence mechanism that would say that "I am stupid because I don't understand this".It could actually be that I am smarter then this and pointing out the truth. But since it is I who judge the situation I have right. To win an argument you have to convince others that you are right

  • @K0lsyr4 the point of my video was actually much bigger than simply winning or losing an argument. keep in mind the title is merely that, just a title.

  • I love your vids.... forget the haters they are nothin. you help sooo many people. keep up the great work!!!!!

  • @veganprincess01 thanks for the support!

  • If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.

    - HESSE, Hermann - Demian

  • @Polon007 this is such a good quote, thank you for that.

  • @herbgardner00 I recomend you to read Hermann Hesse's book called Demian.

    It's a very good story about growth, consciousness and the responsability we have over our destiny

  • @Polon007 ill look that up now, thanks you!

  • Great video, full of wisdom.

  • @devildeepblue thanks!

  • So true. Good words. Thanks for sharing. :)

  • this was a very good video. i like the way you think :)

    i have been thinking about this alot. but not directly this way. thank you, you helped me alot by doing this video. Though I never really argue with people cos I know it wont lead me to any good. That's bascially what I thought, this video kind of just made it clear for that i'm doing the right thing. I've just accepted that some people are that way, and I have to live with it.

  • Thank you

  • Basically there is no right or wrong, good or bad its all a distortion on how we perceive things within ourselves and the polarity of life!

  • Doesn't your guitar get in the way when you open the door behind you?

  • Wow. This is very true! Just recently my teacher and I were having a discussion about 9/11 and whether it was an inside job or not. As i was explaining to her why i believe it was an inside job she immediately began to disagree and told me that i was closed mind. She kept saying i was closed minded for believing that. She would not let me explain why i believed it. I told her " I'm the one being close minded?!! Your not even listening to me!". Thats my story and Thank you for this vid bro!!!

  • Sing us a song with that guitar!

  • Given the hypocritical nature of human beings, this definitely works, but only in certain situations.

  • i thought this was a great video. However, the premise of "winning" implies that the other is wrong to begin with. Right, wrong....out the window!!
