[theSmokinoakin]

he reminds me of Jack Black :)

[SlowAggu]

......Boobs

[jakjak117]

i just love how he put the pic of the girl on when he said "suck"

[EyePodX]

Wow thanks for misleading thumbnail pic

[sully9989]

This is why philosophers should NEVER be politicians

[Andy8060327a]

Get a fucking life...

[ForrealBeastly]

intresting, the last part was weird. ...

[reject117]

WW1 and WW2 are the only wars worth wile fighting for. in iraq as soon as we killed tht saddam huissien we should of fucked off but no in vietnam lived were wasted basicly beacuse the americans didnt want communism to spread... so lives lost just beacuse the government felt their way was a better way of running a country not that i support communism. the korian was is another example u lot again didnt like somthing about another country, i know lets go to war! im british and were bad enough.

[Brento24]

Sounds like a bunch of left wing liberal phsycho bullshit commenting on this video. If any of you had a fucking brain you would know that America is and always has been the country that answers the call to help many many other countries and to ensure freedom and safety for people all over the world especially Americans. You should be ashamed for yourself for the hatred you have for such a GREAT and WONDERFUL country. You should be ashamed of yourself, your ignorance, and your stupidity

[ibumholekow]

What calls for help?.. No1 asks America, all they do is cause destruction. Seriously i appreciate what the soldiers have done but in all fairness there is no reason to be at war in Iraq, go for the cause not for some BS side story. Heres a history lesson, when U.S.A came to "save" the world of the germans they came at the very end when everyone had next to no rations including Germany. The U.S came in at end to steal the glory. P.S I am Canadian, please enlighten yourself b4 opening your mouth

[RaginRabidRabbit]

@ibumholekow O shut the fuck up! We went to war because Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. We would have never gone to war if that hadn't happened. Just be thankful that we saved your asses. We were struggling to decide to go to war or not because George Washington adviced us to try and stay away from it. Stupid Canadian.

[ibumholekow]

@RaginRabidRabbit OMG Thanks so much for saving our asses...! But if the U.S is so great at winning wars, why cant they win the wars they start. Vietnam and Iraq both started by the U.S and failed by the U.S.( Wiki Vimy Ridge, then Wiki Omaha Beach... It shows the brillance between the two countries (so we really didnt need you "Saving our Asses")) Oh and i was actually refering to WWI... i guess i should of pointed that out. The U.S entered WWI because of the sinking of Lusitania. FYI.

[Premitz]

What im thinking right now it nice.. I know how you fill... If we never done war... or Fight what will the world be like?

[sithwalrus]

every country which believes in war, is a cause of the ones which follow. A lot of innocent people have been imprisoned, tortured, and traumatized for America, and if they weren't terrorists already, who is to say them and their family's won't be later.

[sithwalrus]

American Soldiers think they are fighting for your freedom stockman, but please think about this ,for every life they save, about how many times are the American forces are only doing the following:

Contributing to USA's second largest debt

Ensuring a supply of oil

Killing civilians who are in the wrong place at the wrong time

Assassinating legal heads of state and replacing them with leaders who are pro-American

Torturing innocents, on the off chance they have useful information.

[Tuvano]

Thought provoking. Yes people died. People always die. We just pin a medal on them when they die killing other people. Ignorance is bliss.

[jjimenep]

war sucks

[Raizo886]

True, but in cases it's nessesairy!! World war 2. If we dident react on thousands judes, homosexuals and so on being killed, countries being forced to obey on war and enplacement on ex. mines. How would the world look today?? Would we all be nazies and "Heil" each time we just wanted to say hello? Now that really sucks. War sucks, but oppression and slavery sucks even more!

[rum426]

hey just wanted to tell everyone that this douche bag Nazi aka rainstormaeroponics says no ones dieing from the conflict in iraq and is making fun of the fact that my cousin was killed by an IED in the middle east

[PBerick]

fuck the homosexual... i hate faggos and some JEWS!!

[n7hax]

Yes and everybody hates you also but they don't shout it out on youtube. now STFU

[PBerick]

i know im a gay spic fucking hate spanish ppl too , i love white people though :) and kay sorry love ya

[n7hax]

[mikeyinlalaland]

[jjimenep]

[mikeyinlalaland]

It's Do you like now, RETARD

[jasons567]

its actually do you like it now? but at least you tried.

[stockman214]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. That means a lot to me. Thanks for taking the time to write.

It's a message I wish everyone could hear.

[crimsontearz24]

Beautiful message. I thought this was going to be another anti-war video, but it's truly great. To imagine what we could be doing to support one another rather than kill. It's sad, but I have faith in mankind and the universal love we unknowingly possess.

[stockman214]

thank you for writing. I really appreciate your thoughts. and i'm glad you enjoyed the video (and took the time to see it all the way through.)

hope to see you again.

[fr33own4ge]

dam look at 4:34 the girl on right looks buff

[misfitsskater90]

To bad Kurt Vonnegut died.....

[confoundedlatifa]

'To hide them cleverly, so that they would never hurt anybody ever again'

'and Saddam Hussein turned into a baby' and a very cute baby it is lol

This is the best video you've made so far, J, and you make great videos :D

[stockman214]

Latifa,

Wow, thank you so very much for your kind words. It means a lot to me. I'm humbled by your words and I hope to be able to keep making videos that you value and find worthwhile. And yes, that little boy is adorable- he's the son of a friend of mine.

The message in this video is very important, especially in this time of seemingly constant terror attacks, and what not. Thank you, Latifa, for watching and writing.

[illmagnified]

Wow completely did not expect this!- Im kind of glad it was something not completely mindless. The chick was hot tho...but the message in the video was far more important- and great analogy.

[stockman214]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It's awesome that you stuck around for the 'message'- I'm sure many don't do that once they realize it's not porn. It is a silly trick, actually, and I wouldn't do that anymore. But at the time, I just wanted a lot of people to watch the video. Anyway, thank you for writing your thoughts- much appreciated.

[illmagnified]

The only thing you might get with this type of "false advertising" is the attraction of the wrong type of crowd like "repelghosts" who are complete jackoffs- no pun intended. With that said, keep the videos going- your message will spread eventually.

[StatisticsSay]

i have a weird question. Who is the girl in the picture? Where did you get this picture from?

[stockman214]

just did a google search for images. i don't know who the person is.

[repelghosts]

the stupidiest video edit anyone has ever done....lets talk about yourself,since thats your favorite subject! Yoy first ,'Oh best in all the land'?

Mommy is proud we are sure of that,now go upstaitrs and give her your rent...lick hard now!

[PolygonMario]

wow ... peace brother

[stockman214]

Peace, indeed, my friend. Thank you for writing. Much appreciated. You're welcome back anytime.

[loadbrecht]

the most important part of this video was that you put the hot girl right in the middle so that it could be the icon

and got me to watch the video

good job....lol

[stockman214]

LOL definitely the best video edit I've ever done. ;)

[0ptiMiStic]

Wow this is pretty cool =D

[stockman214]

It's a powerful story isn't it? (Vonnegut's, not mine)- I can take no credit for the story. I'm glad you enjoyed it. And thank you for writing- it's really good to hear from you.

[crybabiessuck]

I started reading Vonnegut when I was in about 5th or 6h grade. Of course, I didn't understand everything that he was talking about then. I'm not sure why I'm telling you this- but anyway- great video!!

[stockman214]

Thank you very much for writing! Reading Vonnegut at any age is a challenge in comprehension-- so even attempting it at age nine or ten is impressive! What's one of your favorite V books?

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the video- and even more pleased that you've taken a moment to write your thoughts. Thanks again!

[crybabiessuck]

I'll ahve to admit that I haven't read any of Vonnegut's books in years. I read Welcome to the Monkey house quite a few times through junior high and high school. I also liked The Sirens of Titan and Cat's Cradle. The reason that I tried to read them at such a young age was that I really liked the artwork on the covers. I'm not sure how much comprehension was going on at that time, but I remember that I really enjoyed them. I need to reread them now!

[crybabiessuck]

I just remembered the short story in Welcome to the Monkey House that I loved: Harrison Bergeron- I can't remember how it is spelled. I just realized that I would remember parts of that story anytime I had to learn about socialism while in school. I'm not sure if he was commenting on socialism when he wrote it, but that's what I took it to mean.

[stockman214]

Sirens of Titan had me laughing out loud (literally) in a few places. That was the book that really opened up my mind to the truly limitless freedom of writers to tell any story they want to.

They're worth more than one read, that's for sure.

[neena1958]

wow Jeremy this was intense. I liked it.

Keep up great work.

cousin, Yo

[stockman214]

it's a brilliant piece of writing- if you haven't read Slaughterhouse Five, you might enjoy it.

[youlittlepieceofshit]

Your freedom?... You fucking "americans" live in constant denial

[stockman214]

Denial of what?

[nazaxprime]

What about the people from this story that continually un-die inside casket's to replace the children that condense to be turned into glimmers in gods eye?

Huh?

[stockman214]

Thank you for writing. I would love to respond to your question, but quite sincerely I can't make out what your question is asking. Would you mind rephrasing the question?

[hifiami]

what happened to the hot chick in the preview picture? oh, I get it, I thought I was going to hear the insightful thoughts of a hot chick, because I like to hear what they have to say, I wasn't expecting Jack Black on downers, I have to give you one star for using the oldest, cheapest, most played out unoriginal trick in the book. sorry.

[stockman214]

i'd give you five stars for making me smile even at 7am. "jack black on downers" that's classic.

[gettingrapedbypanda]

amen to that!

[fishandcushion]

I don't understand the context of that comment BlackSunRise0211 - are you implying that since there is a war on, it might as well be justified and anyone not fighting is spiritually decrepit/corrupt? Of course there are things worth fighting for, yet I think "War is an ugly thing" is more pertinent to the situation today anyway.

[BlackSunRise0211]

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic felling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. the person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature, and has no chance of being free unless made or kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

~John Stuart Mill

[fishandcushion]

Thanks for letting me air my views. appreciate the vid by the way, I didn't make that clear. Thanks.

[fishandcushion]

Also, many countries feel economically and even politically oppressed by the USA. This to me is imbalanced; there is an opportunity cost here. For every US citizen who feels 'freed' by actions of war, there are folks elsewhere who feel less 'free', and perhaps even less safe, lacking dignity. I don't hate the US, unlike many people I have met, but I think some accountability appears to be lacking in the thrusts of US foreign and economic policy.

[fishandcushion]

well, to be honest I live in England, so I can't comment on your everyday freedoms per se. However, 'my' country has been drawn into war almost as deeply as yours, so hope you accept my right to comment. In the Uk it has (since war began), become illegal to protest even peacefully within one mile of our government buildings without local police (and therefore by logical extension, local gov't). this is hypocritical in a free country.

[fishandcushion]

people might be dying, but I don't think you are neccessarily any more free since the war began, and unless it results in the end of the Bush era, I seriously doubt that the final outcome of the war will bring freedom either. Please don't forget that while US and allied servicepeople have died in their hundreds (which is tragic), Iraqi civilians have died in their thousands. They're people too. peace.

[stockman214]

Thank you for writing. All comments are appreciated. I too agree and have not forgotten that many people on both sides of the line (including women and children) have been killed as a result of the war. (that's the point of this video... seeing things from a different perspective)

[BlackSunRise0211]

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic felling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. the person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature, and has no chance of being free unless made or kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

~John Stuart Mill

[derbilmotion]

Powerfully apathetic.

[stockman214]

care to elaborate on this point? i'm not quite sure i catch your meaning.

[Elphyrafire]

I thought it was hopeful.

[stockman214]

I'm encouraged by your optimism. I believe the story is inspirational. It has to be internalized as a true goal by humanity before it can be effecacious. That internalization starts with exposure-- and that's the hope of this video post. Thank you for writing.

[gogoohio1012]

I do think about the war and iraq but it isnt the most i think about. but it is not like i can do any thing about it.

[stockman214]

It's easy to take our freedom for granted. That's what I think is important about this video. It serves as a small reminder.  Nothing more. Thank you for watching and even more for writing!

[gogoohio1012]

Thank you?

Uh, i replyed in a video so you might want to check it out.

[starbolt]

Loved it. I don't know why i've never read that book before... hrm... i'll need to now.

[stockman214]

starbolt (great SN, btw), Thank you for writing. I'm honored that you enjoyed the video. And yes, if you have not yet read SH5 do so by all means. Very powerful read. Happy New Year!

[iseehaters]

me either

[stockman214]

iseehaters, you either what? I'd love to hear your thoughts but I couldn't quite figure it out from those two words. hope to hear from you! thanks for writing!

[stockman214]

stockman214 is dying to hear your thoughts! Tell me what you think!

[Clereece]

Love the story much much better backwards ...

[stockman214]

Indeed! It's amazing how such a simple artistic vision can be so powerful! Thank you for stopping by and commenting!  come back often!

[MysterEy1]

fast-paced, good mixing, great content, etc etc etc Just dont whore yourself so much LIKE I TEND TO DO uhhhh not really I don't LOOL

[stockman214]

LOL are you referring to the hot blond screenshot? The reality is I believe in the content of my vlog. But I am pragmatic enough to realize that some people (sadly) seek other motivation to watch.

[Dickens123]

Interesting screenshot-wanna get attention???? I love this and you did a great job. I am just now working on hunger!! Of course, I'll share! Happy new year!

[stockman214]

Dickens, Indeed, that screenshot was COMPLETELY an attempt to get people to watch it! LOL sad huh? Thank you for coming by! I'd love to hear your thoughts on hunger- another important topic!
