@edwardschlosser1 No it should be beautiful. Liberty is a concept that varies from mind to mind. Im not just for bourgeois liberty (the liberty to compete and trample those who allow themselves to get trampled).. there's a libery more beautiful than that of capitalism :)
@seigneurvoland666 There is only one definition of liberty. It begins based upon the principle that we all own our own bodies. We may do whatever we want with our bodies so long as we do not infinge upon another's liberty. When we produce wealth with our bodies, it is rightfully ours. Liberty does not sacrifice the individual to the collective. Free trade and capitalism stem from this most basic human right. No one is trampled during consentual trade. In fact both parties benefit.
@edwardschlosser1 Ok.. i mostly agree. it's a problem of semantics with me. Just because the individual chooses an dprefer to work co operatively and constructively with he sees as "equals" don't mean he has sacrificed his individualism. The alternative to this would be self indulged competitiveness. That what capitalists modes of production usually breeds. Freedom isn't scary. it's our light, our potential.. Plus, the collective is an abstract idea, it's just made of individuals.

@MrSKINFLICK I think you are probably lucky to find anyone to hire you for any work at all. I pity the 'demented old women'. It must make your mother sad to hear you speak of the helpless with such contempt.
@356pla>The reasons for becoming gay (if you're not a stereotypical sissy) are not only sexual motives:
Many women are complicated+stressful - why make life unnecessarily burdened with typical female problems which men don't have when they are free of that ? Women mostly "invented" all that mania at the end of the 90s with our present modernistic "problem society"+its often also superfluous+superficial political correctness.
And the number of male bisexuals is growing year by year.....
I wasn't speaking about MY feelings for the old women -they have no responsibility anymore for the state they are in.
I watched more contempt for them and slight horror among the WOMEN who cared for them.

But if they only had the imagination to grasp the concept of a life lost, they'd be in horror, eventually. In Ayn Rands universe, people with imaginations and conscience appear as a blight on the world.
It is funny because the story about the architect in the beginning and of following a dream - beautiful as it were - is exactly what these self described-"rational" philosophers do not believe in
In Ayn Rand's universe people with imaginations and conscience appear as a blight on the world
You just like to make stuff up don't you?
By the logic of your argument I can say that it's somebody's lack of imagination that makes them depraved enough to believe that terrorists in 9/11 didn't go to heaven for what they did. Sure it would be a more imaginative belief than to say that they were deluded mass murderers
A fetus isn't a human, and I don't "lack imagination"
Ha ha. No I don't make things up although imaginative people often do!
I think that beauty of belief is the highest yearning of the human spirit, and whatever machinations of thought we apply to get there, there's a higher right and wrong. Greater wisdom. In terms of 9/11 I'd say that although imaginative, it's a pretty undesirable faith, ignorant.
A fetus is certainly human, if you let it be. Whether someone should torture themselves with that guilt, is a matter of choice.
faith is belief without knowledge, how can soemthing be an "undesirable faith", and "ignorant"?
Ignorant means ignorant of facts.
Undesirable faith means "it doesn't feel pleasant" or some synonym of that.
The problem here of course is that if soemthing is a faith, it is purely subjective. How can you claim that something subjective is unesirable in a general sense? It's undesirable to you but apparently desirable to poor people in Afganistan and Iran
Because I believe in emotional truths, and that the ultimate idea of wisdom is no less than a grander realization of what the heart tells you, rather than what your accumulated facts indicate.
It is not purely subjective if there is a God, a greater rightness and transcendental beauty.
Are you saying that whatever our thoughts tell us is the Truth, am I correct in understanding you?
I don't believe I said that people aren't tempted by all kinds of impulses and ideas. That doesn't effect what I consider to be truthfully more beautiful. Whatever you understand of it is a product of conscience, concern, and heartfelt consideration, nothing less.
These are all non-concepts unless you define them specifically, but you seem unable to pin down a definition that is concrete, perhaps because it's easier to not concretize the terms and actually be accountable to your own definitions on a consistent basis
Such a conceptual aparatus is useless in any discussion of ideas however.
The only thing you're saying by considering them non-concepts, is that you haven't formed an idea of what I'm speaking about.
Useless to you is not necessarily useless to me, and that's not merely subjective either. I could apply it to abortion or any moral subject whatsoever, the Bible comes close, if read as I read it, and so does many other faiths. Make a pick.
An emotional truth is a feeling that is appropriate, correct, a realization rather than something fleeting and of the moment. Or if it is of the moment, it expresses it, captures its essence to full potential, an understanding of feeling.
An undesirable faith is one that is not a realization, something that may apply true emotions but without the fruition of genuine wisdom.
Greater wisdom is what won't ever make you regret the terms in which you speak, or act, but rather spirits you away.
I'm not a mind reader I cannot know what other people understand or not.
I don't generally assume myself incomprehensible when what I'm saying is perfectly clear to me.
I believe that the heart has a language of its own, grander than that of the mind. I believe that it is absolute, in terms of right and wrong. I believe that anyone could feel it, if they listen deep, it is inspiration in its purest form. Dismissing it for lesser impulses is sin, something everyone regrets. Am I not clear?
Yes, now you are clear, though it took you many posts to just come out and say what it is you ACTUALLY believe
First you were trying to hide the truth behind words like: "Rand doesn't approve of imagination", etc
but now you have come out and plainly said that you think 'right' and 'wrong' can be found within the 'heart'
Of course there is no such thing as "the heart" that is capable of ideas. Ideas are a province of the mind exclussively so you are actually against clarity of thought
That is a matter of belief. You think that the idea of a higher ideal is merely a subjective aesthetic, I consider it a thing of substance.
Who is right to you, is merely a subjective aesthetic whilst to me it is a matter of substance. I could ask and argue for reasons larger than myself, yours are caught in your head. Who is the saner, is a matter of more than opinion, in my humble opinion.
If one is to argue that a fetus is human being in a legal sense, simply because it has the potential to be born, one would also have to accept logically that if I take a sperm cell and use it to fertilize an egg in a laboratory, the moment I do that the zygote aquires the moral protection which a fully grown human being does by law, and in morality
Every sperm cell is a potential human being, so is masturbation murder?
The Anglican church in Britain accepted the view that a fetus is no life till the end of the second week
Opinions are opinions
I watch a lot of senseless discussions here on YouTube where one dogmatic asshole bitches at another dogmatic asshole,many of them are trolls who have nothing else in their channels than gamer trash,death metal,silly animé crap or fascist propaganda.
I guess a lot of them has also multiple addictions.I am for legalizing pot,but SUCH people abuse anything.
A benevolent dictator, king, would be a better ruler, than a perfectly free market economy.
Freedom is essential, but so is positive influence. Countless ideas get drowned by greed. Not because they're not sustainable, or for a greater good. But because it isn't personally convenient to care.
Government has an important role, it should be inspirational, active, informed, and strong without being intrusive. It should shelter values, it should be a forum. There's no picnic in a swamp.
myself I dislike Marc because he preaches love and peace and then poors hatefull words tward my goverment. I am a stone who wants it to be legal but this bullshit isnt ok peace is how to do it.
Ron Paul would never condone someone breaking the law to achieve change. He is a constitutionalist and thereby follows the Supreme Law that overrules democracy itself.
I have more respect for a man like Ron Paul who is a Christian doctor and still supports marijuana legalization even though he doesn't indulge himself, then someone who has a financial incentive in legalization and pushes drugs on people against their common sense.
"Each of us must choose which course of action we should take: education, conventional political action, or even peaceful civil disobedience to bring about necessary changes."
Ron Paul does encourage peaceful civil disobedience, which includes all my kind of lawbreaking activities.
@zentonil Marc never had a selfish financial incentive, far from it. He used the revenue generated to fuel the movment. He gave away millions. If the law is tyrannical, which the Cannabis laws are, then civil disobedience is our duty, which means breaking a law that is detrimental to the spirit of humanity. Do you think Ron Paul would have killed jews in WW2 even tho it was illegal not to?
As reassuring as your opinion may sound, fluffy words do nothing to restore my confidence. The fact remains that he does have a financial incentive to promote his cause. His store is marketed towards stoners and he charges customers for using his vapor lounge. Who is to say he doesn't have his hand in the pockets of the people dealing out of the well-known building across the street from his vapor lounge? What kind of public perception do you think it would create if I was trying to legalize...
... prostitution and crack cocaine, if I was a pimp who sold crack? I absolutely agree in civil disobedience, I'm wearing a green LEGALIZE wrist-band as Im typing this, I'm going to smoke a bowl after I type this, but Marc is no Ron Paul.
I've used a similar analogy to your hypothetical jew killing with the police so I'm familiar with it, but it is absurd to argue there was a law to kill Jews and Ron Paul certainly would have seen any such law as void since their constitution was suspended.
Ron Paul appeals to an individual's sense of reason to make a conclusion about how society ought to be run. He doesn't rely on the intellectual yet he has never once acted as a demagogue to attract sympathy from the masses. He is a conservative Christian yet he respects our liberty enough to allow people to make their own choices and is trying to convince a nation that people shouldn't run other peoples lives.
Paul McKeever and Robert Metz are much closer to being our Ron Paul than Emery ever will, the reason this is overlooked is because Emery is a media whore and they are not.
Marc has embraced his epithet as "The Prince of Pot" and appealed to the base desires of freedom loving, yet politically voiceless youth. He found a niche with a void and filled it with cheap slogans and a vacuous resolve.
Hasn't Marcs goal from the onset been to get arrested? Why do you all want to ruin his glory by having him freed? In 5 years he will return to Canada as a "martyr for reform" and a new generation of stoners will bow at his feet.
Ron Paul respects sovereignty. Emery hurt Canadian independence by interfering in the domestic affairs of Americans, which only weakens any chance Canada has of determining its own future, because the US obviously had to intervene.
"fluffy words" ?? your argument is weak, you come of sounding like a Christian. Obviously you have some bias against the plant itself. When you use buzz words like "stoners" intelligent people stop listening. Yeah he charged to use his vapor lounge..5 dollars..hardly a fiscal enterprise. You need to uplift your vision as to what is possible on this planet.
Yes, fluffy words. Expressing a benevolent view of Marc Emery adds nothing to a rational discussion, you might as well tell me you like chocolate cupcakes. I come off as a Christian because I respect a Christian? I have a bias against marijuana because I don't buy into Emery's cult of personality? I even said I smoke it in my post. I can self-identify as a stoner, or a chronic, or a pot head, whatever term you like. Spirit of Humanity carries alot more buzz then Stoner. Whose argument is weak?
That argument carries absolutely no weight. Using your logic Coca Cola would have no future because they sell cans for $1, but I digress. Like a nightclub, he charges money to for admission to his lounge, there are consumables, grinders and pipes for sale at his desk. Let's not forget the Cannabis Culture store underneath the lounge. You don't think he stands to gain from legalization? You think the public would give him any credibility to his cause?
you just dont get it. Your comparing a grass roots vapor lounge like Marc's to a multi national corporation like Coca-cola. You dont understand this issue because your seeing the legalization of marijuana as a patriarchal movement, thats why you keep comparing Marc to Paul, Canada to the states, ect ect. This movement is about empowering the individual, it goes alot deeper then your silly wrist band, and admiration for stoners. And there is NOTHING fluffy about humanity. Your asleep.
Really? I compared Coca Cola to the vapor lounge because of your silly comment about the 5 dollars. I keep comparing Marc to Paul because HaarlemmerHewe made the insulting connection between the two. I mentioned the US because Emery is being extradited there, infact I never even compared our two countries.
You have very little capacity for a rational discussion and all your comments only attempt to pigeon hole me. Spirit of Humanity stinks of altruism and is totally subject.
@mcnowski yo buddy dont stay shit about christians and do you think you'r one of those"Intelligent people (who stopped) listening" because intelligence is not the same as pride or thinking some words are below you. words have meanings that all you should take from them.
Christianity has done nothing but blind people and make them infantile. The sooner this planet awakens from such stupidity, the sooner we can rid the planet of other such stupid institutions like patriarchal government and the idiots who adhere to patriotism Golden ages have been lived upon this planet before, and its only a matter of time before it appens again.
Paul, I appreciate the spotlight, however, I live in Vancouver and although I definitely support the legalization of marijuana, Marc Emery has reduced his campaign to fundamentalism and he personally is a complete douchebag. He is a businessman pure and simple and has no real motive for legalization other than making more money. He's been throwing rocks at a beehive for years by interfering with US policy and it only hurts Canadian sovereignty.
Hey Paul, I made that comment before watching the entire documentary and I have to say that you did a real stand up job creating it. It taught me alot about the path that has brought him to where he is now and I actually give him respect for his activism. You did a brilliant job at contrasting the position Emery has taken with Robert Metz and the impromptu speech Marc gave about attracting sympathy from a single issue in #4 really opened my eyes to the origin or the Marijuana party. Keep it up!!
a business man who has spent all of his money on the legalization movement, that is what ha says. like you said you think personally he is a "complete douchebag" are you sure your not just angry ?
Just got finished watching all of the Part 1 videos, I have to say great job Paul. This is very well edited, it kept my interest even though I knew nothing about Marc Emery before I started watching. I can't wait for part 2.
A deeply insightful, unexpected appraisal of Mark Emory in a context that provokes the intellect beyond drug prohibition. This documentary will grow legs....
This is Long Overdue Thank you very much!! I just hope Cbs and the other Canadian media outlets Get this on there Channels. I don't Believe Marc Is Given the Air time/Respect He Deserves from the public. It's Sick.. Here is a Man That Does Nothing but Good. Marc Emery Thank you for getting are freedoms This far

Emotional Truths...
So, whatever our emotion tell us is the Truth, am I correct in understanding you?
Sam26100 2 years ago
@Sam
Are you saying that whatever our thoughts tell us is the Truth, am I correct in understanding you?
I don't believe I said that people aren't tempted by all kinds of impulses and ideas. That doesn't effect what I consider to be truthfully more beautiful. Whatever you understand of it is a product of conscience, concern, and heartfelt consideration, nothing less.

You're talking in circles You haven't properly defined any of the terms which you use so recklessly:
Emotional Truths, Undesirable Faith, Greater Wisdom, etc
These are all non-concepts unless you define them specifically, but you seem unable to pin down a definition that is concrete, perhaps because it's easier to not concretize the terms and actually be accountable to your own definitions on a consistent basis
Such a conceptual aparatus is useless in any discussion of ideas however.
Sam26100 2 years ago
The only thing you're saying by considering them non-concepts, is that you haven't formed an idea of what I'm speaking about.
Useless to you is not necessarily useless to me, and that's not merely subjective either. I could apply it to abortion or any moral subject whatsoever, the Bible comes close, if read as I read it, and so does many other faiths. Make a pick.
IrreducibleParadox 2 years ago
An emotional truth is a feeling that is appropriate, correct, a realization rather than something fleeting and of the moment. Or if it is of the moment, it expresses it, captures its essence to full potential, an understanding of feeling.
An undesirable faith is one that is not a realization, something that may apply true emotions but without the fruition of genuine wisdom.
Greater wisdom is what won't ever make you regret the terms in which you speak, or act, but rather spirits you away.
IrreducibleParadox 2 years ago
Useless to you is not necessarily useless to me
Umm, when you're having a discussion, if your terms are useless to your opponent because you haven't defined them, they are useless to THE DISCUSSION
If I don't understand what you're saying the words are useless to you as well in the sense that you aren't making an argument which I can understand
of course I haven't formed an idea of what you're talking about, have you tried reading what you write? it's almost impossible to know it!
Sam26100 2 years ago
I'm not a mind reader I cannot know what other people understand or not.
I don't generally assume myself incomprehensible when what I'm saying is perfectly clear to me.
I believe that the heart has a language of its own, grander than that of the mind. I believe that it is absolute, in terms of right and wrong. I believe that anyone could feel it, if they listen deep, it is inspiration in its purest form. Dismissing it for lesser impulses is sin, something everyone regrets. Am I not clear?
IrreducibleParadox 2 years ago
Yes, now you are clear, though it took you many posts to just come out and say what it is you ACTUALLY believe
First you were trying to hide the truth behind words like: "Rand doesn't approve of imagination", etc
but now you have come out and plainly said that you think 'right' and 'wrong' can be found within the 'heart'
Of course there is no such thing as "the heart" that is capable of ideas. Ideas are a province of the mind exclussively so you are actually against clarity of thought

That is a matter of belief. You think that the idea of a higher ideal is merely a subjective aesthetic, I consider it a thing of substance.
Who is right to you, is merely a subjective aesthetic whilst to me it is a matter of substance. I could ask and argue for reasons larger than myself, yours are caught in your head. Who is the saner, is a matter of more than opinion, in my humble opinion.

If a fetus isn't a human...what in the world is it? When does it become human?
packrat76 2 years ago
When it is born
Birth by definition is the beginning of life
If one is to argue that a fetus is human being in a legal sense, simply because it has the potential to be born, one would also have to accept logically that if I take a sperm cell and use it to fertilize an egg in a laboratory, the moment I do that the zygote aquires the moral protection which a fully grown human being does by law, and in morality
Every sperm cell is a potential human being, so is masturbation murder?

A benevolent dictator, king, would be a better ruler, than a perfectly free market economy.
Freedom is essential, but so is positive influence. Countless ideas get drowned by greed. Not because they're not sustainable, or for a greater good. But because it isn't personally convenient to care.
Government has an important role, it should be inspirational, active, informed, and strong without being intrusive. It should shelter values, it should be a forum. There's no picnic in a swamp.

HaarlemmerHewe 2 years ago
Ron Paul would never condone someone breaking the law to achieve change. He is a constitutionalist and thereby follows the Supreme Law that overrules democracy itself.
I have more respect for a man like Ron Paul who is a Christian doctor and still supports marijuana legalization even though he doesn't indulge himself, then someone who has a financial incentive in legalization and pushes drugs on people against their common sense.
zentonil 2 years ago
From Ron Paul's Speech "On Patriotism";
second last paragraph:
"Each of us must choose which course of action we should take: education, conventional political action, or even peaceful civil disobedience to bring about necessary changes."
Ron Paul does encourage peaceful civil disobedience, which includes all my kind of lawbreaking activities.

@ MarcScottEmery
True, though I wonder why you support Ron Paul if what you really believe is that there should be no government at all?
I am certain that Ron Paul is no anarchist, and also he is quite condemning of business in many of his speeches.
Sam26100 2 years ago
@zentonil Marc never had a selfish financial incentive, far from it. He used the revenue generated to fuel the movment. He gave away millions. If the law is tyrannical, which the Cannabis laws are, then civil disobedience is our duty, which means breaking a law that is detrimental to the spirit of humanity. Do you think Ron Paul would have killed jews in WW2 even tho it was illegal not to?
mcnowski 2 years ago
As reassuring as your opinion may sound, fluffy words do nothing to restore my confidence. The fact remains that he does have a financial incentive to promote his cause. His store is marketed towards stoners and he charges customers for using his vapor lounge. Who is to say he doesn't have his hand in the pockets of the people dealing out of the well-known building across the street from his vapor lounge? What kind of public perception do you think it would create if I was trying to legalize...
zentonil 2 years ago
... prostitution and crack cocaine, if I was a pimp who sold crack? I absolutely agree in civil disobedience, I'm wearing a green LEGALIZE wrist-band as Im typing this, I'm going to smoke a bowl after I type this, but Marc is no Ron Paul.
I've used a similar analogy to your hypothetical jew killing with the police so I'm familiar with it, but it is absurd to argue there was a law to kill Jews and Ron Paul certainly would have seen any such law as void since their constitution was suspended.
zentonil 2 years ago
Ron Paul appeals to an individual's sense of reason to make a conclusion about how society ought to be run. He doesn't rely on the intellectual yet he has never once acted as a demagogue to attract sympathy from the masses. He is a conservative Christian yet he respects our liberty enough to allow people to make their own choices and is trying to convince a nation that people shouldn't run other peoples lives.
zentonil 2 years ago
Paul McKeever and Robert Metz are much closer to being our Ron Paul than Emery ever will, the reason this is overlooked is because Emery is a media whore and they are not.
Marc has embraced his epithet as "The Prince of Pot" and appealed to the base desires of freedom loving, yet politically voiceless youth. He found a niche with a void and filled it with cheap slogans and a vacuous resolve.
zentonil 2 years ago
Hasn't Marcs goal from the onset been to get arrested? Why do you all want to ruin his glory by having him freed? In 5 years he will return to Canada as a "martyr for reform" and a new generation of stoners will bow at his feet.
Ron Paul respects sovereignty. Emery hurt Canadian independence by interfering in the domestic affairs of Americans, which only weakens any chance Canada has of determining its own future, because the US obviously had to intervene.
zentonil 2 years ago
"fluffy words" ?? your argument is weak, you come of sounding like a Christian. Obviously you have some bias against the plant itself. When you use buzz words like "stoners" intelligent people stop listening. Yeah he charged to use his vapor lounge..5 dollars..hardly a fiscal enterprise. You need to uplift your vision as to what is possible on this planet.
mcnowski 2 years ago
Yes, fluffy words. Expressing a benevolent view of Marc Emery adds nothing to a rational discussion, you might as well tell me you like chocolate cupcakes. I come off as a Christian because I respect a Christian? I have a bias against marijuana because I don't buy into Emery's cult of personality? I even said I smoke it in my post. I can self-identify as a stoner, or a chronic, or a pot head, whatever term you like. Spirit of Humanity carries alot more buzz then Stoner. Whose argument is weak?
zentonil 2 years ago
"5 dollars (is) hardly a fiscal enterprise"
That argument carries absolutely no weight. Using your logic Coca Cola would have no future because they sell cans for $1, but I digress. Like a nightclub, he charges money to for admission to his lounge, there are consumables, grinders and pipes for sale at his desk. Let's not forget the Cannabis Culture store underneath the lounge. You don't think he stands to gain from legalization? You think the public would give him any credibility to his cause?
zentonil 2 years ago
you just dont get it. Your comparing a grass roots vapor lounge like Marc's to a multi national corporation like Coca-cola. You dont understand this issue because your seeing the legalization of marijuana as a patriarchal movement, thats why you keep comparing Marc to Paul, Canada to the states, ect ect. This movement is about empowering the individual, it goes alot deeper then your silly wrist band, and admiration for stoners. And there is NOTHING fluffy about humanity. Your asleep.
mcnowski 2 years ago
Really? I compared Coca Cola to the vapor lounge because of your silly comment about the 5 dollars. I keep comparing Marc to Paul because HaarlemmerHewe made the insulting connection between the two. I mentioned the US because Emery is being extradited there, infact I never even compared our two countries.
You have very little capacity for a rational discussion and all your comments only attempt to pigeon hole me. Spirit of Humanity stinks of altruism and is totally subject.

Paul, I appreciate the spotlight, however, I live in Vancouver and although I definitely support the legalization of marijuana, Marc Emery has reduced his campaign to fundamentalism and he personally is a complete douchebag. He is a businessman pure and simple and has no real motive for legalization other than making more money. He's been throwing rocks at a beehive for years by interfering with US policy and it only hurts Canadian sovereignty.
zentonil 2 years ago
Hey Paul, I made that comment before watching the entire documentary and I have to say that you did a real stand up job creating it. It taught me alot about the path that has brought him to where he is now and I actually give him respect for his activism. You did a brilliant job at contrasting the position Emery has taken with Robert Metz and the impromptu speech Marc gave about attracting sympathy from a single issue in #4 really opened my eyes to the origin or the Marijuana party. Keep it up!!
