Congrats on getting on Glenn Beck homie :P I don't watch him, so I don't know if I agree with him or anything, but it's still a pretty big thing to get on national television.
You can't tell me there is no truth to what that women is saying. Clearly, she has an agenda, however I do think we as people should make better consumption choices, also it couldn't hurt to focus on creating jobs. Maybe we could educate folks on how to get one with benifits so they don't suck the system dry by doing things like using a hospital as their primary doctor and then not paying the bill, or letting tax payers foot the bill. Of course there are exceptions to everything..
@LiberalJerseyman and a good fuck you to you sir, you make me ashamed to be from the great garden state. see anyone can be a dick on youtube. learn to make constructive criticism as appose to childish insults, then come back and act as adults do.
I love how the most interesting facts in the "story of facts" video about the whole system wasn't discussed, instead they were trying to prove that the president DID say hope and pray to the people and that toxic chemicals aren't poured into pillows... Pathetics and false misleading!
Selfish, Greedy, lazy people. Not everyone is born with two loving parents, or trust funds, or look like the majority or get to go to college for free and have all the millions of benefits that are not calculated by this system. It isn't fair that all the wealth is passed down to the few and they can start businesses much easier than the majority of people. These individuals own the land, the construction tools and most of the politicians. A poor person needs to be paid a decent wage.
@Ynotnow7 How should a poor person be paid a decent wage? What is a decent wage? How should the wealth be distributed? Whose wealth? If a person were once poor, and is now rich, should it include their wealth? If a person's wealth is contained in a business which employs thousands of people, should it be taken from his business? If an individual creates a cheaper, more efficient, and more accessible product, should his wealth be taken?
@Ynotnow7 Your comment just shows how ignorant you are. ONE: Life is not fair. As Bob Dylan said "For the loser now will be later to win". The front runners will change, the great thing about America is that anyone can be a front runner. You just have to be motivated enough to either work up the ladder, or educate yourself to skip the "grunt work". TWO: I'm a severely poor college student, am I "lazy", or "greedy" for wanting to better myself, so that I can provide for my future family?
@RiotSoldier what you fail to see is that this is happening and on a large scale by wall street and the banks, look at the housing market.. bush and repubs pushed for deregulation and it crashed wall street and the banks bet on risky gambles with other peoples money and knew they'ed get bailed out because they hold the economy in thier hands and if they go down we all do. we have been scamed by the elite and the right wing buys into thier rhetoric cause they use god says so
@Ynotnow7 Well anyone can go to a good college, regardless of their class. Student loans, grants, stipends. People donate millions to Universities. True, it is harder for middle to low class people to make it in life. But with enough effort anyone can make it in America. ESPECIALLY MINORITIES.
@Ynotnow7 Fuck your "fairness." Who are you to decide what is fair and what is not? It is none of your business if others are wealthy. If you want to fight poverty, donate to charity, start your own organization, and stop telling others what to do. You pseudo-liberal fascists don't belong in America.
@UltraConservative298 hey easy buddy. maybe it isnt the dudes business. seriously, (seriously, dont take offense, not trying to set you into a trap here) but do you feel compassion for kids starving in africa? (hey i know im changing the subject) also if you dont its cool cause i dont know you (im not gonna get mad at someone I dont know) do you believe that people should be were they are at and there will be those who suffer (minority) despite it?
@FerOctChi1 I am an economic policy non-interventionist. I believe everything that occurs in the private sector by means of voluntary action occurs for a reason. If charitable donations are made voluntarily, it is done rightfully. If wealth is redistributed by GOVERNMENT FIAT, it is theft. Any project undertaken by the government is done by stealing people’s money. Never forget that. That is why government should be limited to protecting life and property if it must exist.
@FerOctChi1 Whether I feel compassion is irrelevant. Compassion either occurs naturally or does not occur. Force has nothing to do with compassion and everything to do with arrogance. Those who donate to charity with their own money do so voluntarily and out of generosity, rather than for personal gain. Government welfare administrators are acting entirely for their own benefit. They make transfer payments using money that was stolen from people for purpose of earning an income.
@Ynotnow7 my mom came from ireland and she didn't have a nickel in her hand, clothing of her own, air conditioning, or a bed to sleep on. She was not assisted by the government in any way and she held a job at 12 yrs of age working in a plant nursery for 8hrs/day after school. She saved up, worked three jobs while in college and graduated with a masters (and some debt). Today she is very, very wealthy... So, whats your excuse again?
@Ynotnow7 On the contrary, I know many people who came from poor neighborhoods and built their own businesses and worked their hearts out to become the middle class. Perhaps it's harder now with government in the way. However, saying that others aren't as well off and deserved to be paid more is a bad, bad argument. You need to work to be paid and try to get a better job. What's your ideal salary for a poor person? 100k a year for working at mcdonalds?
Care to elaborate or debate any of the opinions or facts they gave, or are you just going to call them names and offer no substance like most Liberals?
stop using your political mind set, & grow up or is it the youth that will have 2 show u your mess. This vid. only has political backing if u look 4 it, which u can find in any topic, so people lets stop being so politically corect. Isn't the point of this vid. 2 point our counsmer bassed economy, the "planned obsolescence" method, & the never ending amount of useless junk we buy. Please give this further thought and watch: The Light Bulb Conspiracy
I just want you to know, that you are very intelligent, present facts well, and very attractive. Keep up the good work informing people about our useless crap!! :P go ahead people, bash my post.
not a fan of bush but it was important for us to shop. Think about it Hope, and grieve really what good does that do? Not much, however shopping and continuing our lives as usual keeps the economy running and keeps our nation productive. Our economy would have taken had everyone decided to stop shopping for a month or so. The old saying that may be over used is when you fall of the horse get back on is so true. On 911 we were hit hard but we have to get right back to working we cant just stop.
I cannot believe it, but I am going to have to agree with Glen on this one.... trust me, I can't believe that I would ever type these words but it's true.
I'll admit it,I have a hard time with this clip, Glenn Beck is quite correct in this vid;except for the fact that companies like DOW were lobbying the government for the use of BFR's.Government has wholeheartedly, bipartisanly bought into the idea that we can be a consumer nation. Greed complex is really the issue in the country and manufactured demand. Always looking for more and more when we haven't a need for it. I have watched Doren's vids& he is plain wrong, his arguments are weak& 1 sided.
unfortunately the guy on the right does not present anything wholistic or factual nor does he propose any solutions to improving society himself. he is psychologically detached from sustainability and from solutions. if we cannot see the madness in the current economic method then we have been too far conditioned in the opposite direction away from reality and nature. no corporation, no government, no money is going to solve the worlds problems.
@getclogged until we base our culture and economy upon resources, and the best of science and technology we will end up with the same B/S we have always gotten. actually, it will be even worse as the ecology is on the way downhill. in a money economy scarcity has to exist because of the supply/demand ratio. in a money system profit is always the chief motivator of corporations. it is designed for corruption and planned obselescence ie. Deliberate Waste
@getclogged You need to watch his 4-part rebuttal on YouTube. In the video, he presents myriad facts and statistics. It's unfortunate that the clip showed here didn't showcase that.
No one takes the story of stuff seriously, even my global perspectives teacher who seems to be on the lefter side of things told our class before we watched this movie that it is somewhat of a socialist propaganda tool. Glenn Beck your bat shit crazy conspiracy theories about the public education system being run by communists and marxists isnt true. sorry.
@legatoslide47 My school actually has had people come in with almost the exact same information that she gave in the video (trying to convince us of the same thing). I know for a fact that this happens in many other schools in my district and out of it. So obviously people do take is seriously, not only that, but many of the other students actually believed what the people were saying. Being in the public school system, I can say that they are quite bias with what they teach to us.
@Fanatic4500 Yes! I'm an 11th grader in a public high school and my economics teacher plays Annie Leonard's videos and many others like them. My English teacher does the same thing. I hate it. I'm not even remotely conservative and I can't stand how liberal the things they try and teach us are. The same thing happened with my classmates as well and it made my heart sink just a little bit to see, first hand, just how much we are lied to in school.
@lookejr Haha, you're right! I agree! I was told in high school that greedy people caused the great depression. Such garbage. Every book I've ever read by intelligent economists has debunked these great depression myths and many other lies!
@JDPKRevolution No, I don't. I've tried taking like a million political quizzes before and I can't ever check one of their answers because there aren't ever any that I agree with. I've tried putting answers that I find to be the least disagreeable, but then sometimes it puts me as liberal and sometimes as a conservative. But those answers were never my own in the first place so it wasn't accurate anyway.
@Fanatic4500 Isn't the gov against this kind of thing (the original video). And i'm (really not) sorry, I have never seen a less factually correct video about this crap, by the way it (the critique) is gonna be shown in my class tomorrow: Cant wait!
@wewillrockyou1986 "the government" is a very broad term. Some people in the government disagree, but if you look at the actions and steps certain branches have been taking the are not against "this kind of thing". I'm not against people trying to be "green" (even though I think they are overestimating exactly how much of an impact we have on our planet), what I am against is any branch of, or organization deeply affiliated with, the government to force these ideals onto the populous.(cont...)
@wewillrockyou1986 (cont...) It is my humble opinion that the government should not take any part in saying how companies should be run (within the scope of reason, obviously the government should make laws preventing the creation of monopolies [even though the government itself seems to be trying to become a monopoly] and prevent fraud and all such nonsense). No private company would become green out of their own free will because it *loses money*(!). Being "green", at this point, is expensive.
@PurplePlayer99 if you watch him and actuly listen to hge says, instead of letting your opinion be dictated by liberals, you will see that what you have been told is a lie
After watching the four-part series of the critique of the story of stuff, it's pretty incredible how perfectly set up this interview was. "Please educate us about that toxic chemical that goes on the pillows" [Lee's response] "Oh I am almost stained my pants from the excitement of having the very clip you were talking about ready to go after your comment...this interview is clearly coordinated and it helps that this interview follows the sequence of points you make in the video" for shame
@Yyyyzyyy normally they are, but there is a group of geeks who think they're smart, but really, they are just narrow-minded dummies, and yes Lee Doren is one of these dumb geeks
Thats not greed. It's Envy, and the left is the one using it and promoting it. When was the last time a leftist admitted that America's poor (the base they need riled up and angry) have all their needs more than met, to the point where they suffer OBESITY!! No. Youre not the problem, it's that bastard with nicer stuff than you who won't share! They guy who spent his free time studying while you partied and is now (caution, dirty word ahead) RICH!
@pimpdalyrical Actualy I am a republican, and greed is evil not rich. It is okay to live comfortably but we over do it way to much in this country and by the way I did study. I have bachelors in biology from UofA and now am a certified Physician Assistant. I make a higher income than most. I have a nice home but not over the top and my car is paid off. I dont need to go out and get a BMW even though I could, but what for my car runs fine. Intead I use my extra money for positive contributions.
@pimpdalyrical Oh okay my mistake. Thank you for clearing that up. I do respect your opinion and you are right than with many people it does have to do with envy. There is a difference between people who need help and people who are looking for a hand out. Unfortunately the later seem to take advantage.
@cjgracie0511 Only the dead are happy with what they have. You're arguing against human nature. The problem is that most people are told that greed is immoral, creating a host of people who conclude that, in effect, their very nature is immoral. If they buy it, they become dysfunctional. Greed is a fundamental American value that made her great.
It's because of guys like this and stubborn, unrealistic mindsets they espouse that the future looks uncertain and the environment is in the state it's in. So what if he has his own youtube channel and works for the competitive enterprise institute? Any moron probably could. Of course he's trying to "debate" the story of stuff. He has a vested interest and he's paid to do so? Of clourse he's going to try and offer some nonsensical rebuttal.
@sopranosADDICT Any moron can be an expert on macro economic theory? I hope deep down you realise how futile that assertion is. Any moron can be a soprano addict, but not everyone can possess a popular youtube channel that specialises in discussing libertarian economics. He doesn’t have to work for beurocrash, its not as if he’s been bought out by the firm, it offers tiny wage rates in comparison to the career paths he could have alternately followed.
@sopranosADDICT Sorry, I felt that last response was too confrontational. Sopranos is an entertaining programme. What I’m attempting to convey is that debasing his character and implying ulterior motives behind his expressed ideology is illogical and unfair. I don’t agree with many of his assertions either; however I consider it more productive to focus on dismantling his opinions than negating them with ad hominem attacks.
@sopranosADDICT What was nonsensical about Lee's arguments? If you disagree with Lee's entire ideology, thats one thing. But him explaining the factual inaccuracies of "The story of stuff" does not qualify under the standard definition of nonsensical.
So 1:28 - 1:48 says that Bush called for people to shop to show strength? What? Did the terrorists fly planes into the Walmart district of the Pentagon? Really, he said to pray, grieve AND SHOP. Israelis go to the places that were blown up as a statement that terrorists won't get to them. They walk into places that were attacked, not shop for strength. Shopping gives us absolutely NO strength whatsoever.
Also, 3:40 on. What the fuck is Beck talking about.
wow, im completely speechless about this critique... how can you successfully critique a 21 minute video in less then 5. they nit pick at the the most retarded points and merely talk this video down because its left and defames capitalism. people capitalism is not only unethical but outdated. its a concept that was created in the 17th century when recourses truly seemed infinite. we now live in the 21st century and recourses are scarce and poverty is rampant.... what will we leave for out kids?!
Funny thing about shit like this... Its fools arguing with fools about 8 year old issues from the beginning. If you think that any political party is better then the other, you're just fooling yourself. If you think Glenn Beck is anything but a corporate tool, then you're just fooling yourself. Who cares what G.W.B. said after the 9/11 attacks? Seriously? Did anyone do anything other then what they felt like doing? If you looked to some politician for what you should do, then you are a moron.
What? I'm confused. People are randomly catching on fire while asleep? Maybe if people didn't do stupid shit like smoke in bed or light candles in irresponsible places we wouldn't have to use those chemicals.
So the world isn't being ruined by naked consumerism because she - LEGITIMATELY - slags of free-market capitalism, thinks that consumerism is a massive problem when, in the middle of respect for victims of a terrorist attack, the nasty right winger (Bush) tells people to keep buying junk (try that at a funeral eh?), and thinking that flame retardants (and MANY other chemicals) shouldn't be detrimental to human health? Sheez
The same right wing fruit cake denies global warming and evolution BTW!
i honestly think Glenn Beck is a douche, BUT, in this segment holy moly, he looks like sane, intelligent individual (and i agree with him--probably the first time) with a crackpot guest ;) not the other way around which is more often the case....
Why did you posted this video in your website?... The guy just used you and make you look like a stupid. Or is just to show up you´re in Fox News?... You got me at Your "How the World Works?"... Catchy title for a VideoBlog. You want an American for reality check?... Follow Chomsky buddy!... You´re lost behind those intelectual looking glasses. Cheers!
@migraine516 Go watch some of Lee Dorens videos and you will see he is anything but retarded. He works for the Competitive Enterprise institute and has his own youtube channel. If he is so retarded I would love to see you debate him.
@jbeyers84 I don't really know Lee at all, but because he has a youtube channel and a job, does not prove he's not retarded. William Lane Craig is a great debater, but inferior in intellect to those he debates. He's just a better public speaker. The same could be said for Lee.
It;s not the smartest person who wins debates, it's the one who can draw an emotion, and the one who doesn't piss the majority of people off. I'm sure he's smart with what he believes in, but knows nothing outside of that.
@jbeyers84 I would be happy to debate him. The Competitive Enterprise insitute? Don't make me laugh. It's another conservative propaganda machine. They do no research of any type. Lee's videos are full of logical fallacies. I would be happy to point every last one of them out in front of millions.
@tizotube100 Glad to, it would take time though for two reasons. 1) I don't just use blanket assertions, I do research. 2). I have a day job. I don't collect money for my channel like some sort of huckster.
"1) I don't just use blanket assertions, I do research."
Prior to:
"I would be happy to debate him. The Competitive Enterprise insitute? Don't make me laugh. It's another conservative propaganda machine. They do no research of any type."
I would stick to your upcoming video rebuttal before you continue to blow anymore chunks out of proportion now. I couldn't spot a better hypocritical blanket assertion than the one made just by yourself.
@tizotube100 Well fucktard, it's awefully hard to fit a thesis in a 500 character format. That may pass for academic honesty in the conservative make believe world, but it doesn't work in the real world. And that's "How the World Works".
@Newenlightenmentnow Look at this guy talk about how he can't fit a thesis in a 500 character format. THIS ENTIRE TIME I'VE BEEN ENCOURAGING YOU TO MAKE A VIDEO RESPONSE/REBUTTAL SO YOU'RE NOT AS LIMITED! Whose the "fucktard," now? So rude.
@tizotube100 Listen bitch, I work a 60 hour fucking week. That's how life is in the real world. I don't have time for pieces of subhuman filth like yourself. I will make a video when I'm god damned good and ready. I'm noty our bitch. I'm not here to please you. I could make a video like Lee Doren makes in five minutes. Here goes. I graduated from an elite university. Therefore what I say is gospel.
@Newenlightenmentnow The only bitch here is you, talking big but nothing in the package. I've given you plenty of time to make a measly 5 minute video without any standards no grammar structures or anything yet you failed on that. You still have time to keep posting text responses yet nothing on a video? You're all talk. If you had a 60 hour work week how the hell do you have time to come on here then? LOL what a snide ass trick this mofo is.
@tizotube100 Yes, am familiar with the competitive enterprise institute. Their problem is this. The reach a conclusion, then they go mine for the evidence to support their position. Academic research proposes a hypothesis, then does research TESTING the hypothesis. Your earlier statement challenging people to debate him is funny. I was thinking more of a real life format or possibly net meeting. If you mean a video debate, you've missed the boat, Thunderfoot has done a fantastic job of it.
@Newenlightenmentnow See, all that time in those text response could've spent time on making an actual video rebuttal to Lee. I don't care if it's academic or not, as long as it had the facts straight and you spoke English. I'm not some bureaucratic agency or some University, I'm just another regular Joe waiting on another flamer to man up on a video rebuttal cause he's talking that mess. So where's your video?
@Newenlightenmentnow Go to CEI's main website and check out their publications and studies. You don't need to be unemployed to do a video rebuttal, quite frankly if you have enough time to spell out any comments you can make a video rebuttal in just half the time. We're waiting.
@tizotube100 No, that would be true if I were just going to assert my position as true, as is typical in a written forum or as Lee Doren does in all of his videos. An academic video requires weeks of research.
@jbeyers84ofT no, he's not retarded. He's just a tool. Why would I engage in a debate with someone who is going to string his arguments together with logical fallacies? Do you realize how much work it takes to unravel arguments like that? And it's been done anyway. There are plenty of videos exposing him for the worm he is.
Funny how liberals have a campaign against using the word gay as an insult, yet internet-liberals (90% still teens) constantly throw around insults like "retarded" to try and make a point. Your hypocrisy is dizzying.
I don't have a campaign against the word gay. I think you are missing up, bigotry with calling a stupid person what they are. I personally call people gay all the time (who fucking cares). What liberals generally don't tolerate is bigotry, which would be attacking the rights of a minority group. Your comment = fail.
You insinuate that you are of a superior intellectual stock than lee doren. You don't back this up with any reason or evidence other than a "because I say so." You admit to calling people gay all the time, and yet I'm guessing you view conservatives as "Homophobic". You falsely define bigotry, claiming I am "missing up" bigotry, after displaying all of the qualities of a bigot, which I had not called you in the first place... but now I will. You sir are a hypocritical bigot.
You sir, have reached unfathomable levels of stupidity. Maybe a little less fox news can reverse this trend, maybe not. I don't know.
"You insinuate that you are of a superior intellectual stock than lee doren. You don't back this up with any reason or evidence other than a "because I say so."
I never insinuated this, although it is most likely true. Not to mention the endless lengths I would have to go through to debunking all of his videos, because of his vast amount of content.
@supermurder67 Wow, man, you're so smart. Have you ever stopped to think why one side accuses the other of being racist and the "racist" side doesn't care to retaliate? Have you ever seen a Republican stand up and say "DOWN WITH THOSE WHO AREN'T WHITE"?
But you can give me his opinion on any talking point, and I will most likely be able to shred his arguments with ease.
"You admit to calling people gay all the time, and yet I'm guessing you view conservatives as "Homophobic" Simply taking something I say completely out of context. You have hang out with your buddies and see something you say and say "wow that's gay" etc.... Gay used in slang for something you dislike isn't bigotry. I cannot see how it is even remotely (cont)
possible to be offended when I say the word gay. Bigotry is when you do not view them as equals or long to strip their rights away. This is something republicans condone, and I do not. So the right wingers are the bigots. Saying the word gay in casual conversation with your friends in no way shape or form makes you a bigot. And if a homosexual does get offended by that., then they are probably looking to be offended as there is no logical reason for them to be.
@supermurder67 LOL, YES REPUBLICANS HATE THOSE WHO ARE NOT DESCENDANTS OF EUROPEANS, BUT DEMOCRATS ARE THE GODSEND, PEACEFUL, PERFECT INDIVIDUALS. ALL RIGHT WINGERS LOVE GOD, BUT THEY BETRAY HIS MESSAGE BECAUSE THEY HATE BLACK PEOPLE.
Right because bankers don't work hard at all. LOL. Maybe they get paid more because they get an education? Anyone can be a janitor, not anyone can be an investment banker. Bankers are EXTREMELY important to any society but apparently you don't recognize that.
@rjfrjf65 not everyone can get an education, and no; bankers do not work hard, as a matter of fact they do very little work, and say a construction worker, who does much more work gets payed much less. "the less efficient of the working class are bumped up on payrole, but to a position where they can do no harm"- james connoly
Are u serious? wait a minute, are u investment banker?
Dont u know smth about economic system? I know, cause I've got an economic education and been learnin enough since crisis kicked your ass.
Bankers arent EXTREMELY important, especially to society cause they are buyin goverments(1), givin loans to countries and states that never give back that money but will take another loan until their economic system is fcked up.(2)
So predictable is that government=big business servants go on their TV channel to critique such films.
I think that Story of Stuff gives the REAL picture of what is goin on in our world.
There are many horrible things caused by Our Life System and increased by our blindness.
For example, financial system that gives us eternal inflation, converts Life into liquidating debts. This system gives dollar producers the ability to buy all the other world.
Why is Lee talking to a monkey?

If you want to fight poverty, donate to charity, start your own organization, and stop telling others what to do. You pseudo-liberal fascists don't belong in America.

@UltraConservative298 hey easy buddy. maybe it isnt the dudes business. seriously, (seriously, dont take offense, not trying to set you into a trap here) but do you feel compassion for kids starving in africa? (hey i know im changing the subject) also if you dont its cool cause i dont know you (im not gonna get mad at someone I dont know) do you believe that people should be were they are at and there will be those who suffer (minority) despite it?

@FerOctChi1 I am an economic policy non-interventionist. I believe everything that occurs in the private sector by means of voluntary action occurs for a reason. If charitable donations are made voluntarily, it is done rightfully. If wealth is redistributed by GOVERNMENT FIAT, it is theft. Any project undertaken by the government is done by stealing people’s money. Never forget that. That is why government should be limited to protecting life and property if it must exist.
UltraConservative298 1 month ago
@FerOctChi1 Whether I feel compassion is irrelevant. Compassion either occurs naturally or does not occur. Force has nothing to do with compassion and everything to do with arrogance. Those who donate to charity with their own money do so voluntarily and out of generosity, rather than for personal gain. Government welfare administrators are acting entirely for their own benefit. They make transfer payments using money that was stolen from people for purpose of earning an income.

@Ynotnow7 my mom came from ireland and she didn't have a nickel in her hand, clothing of her own, air conditioning, or a bed to sleep on. She was not assisted by the government in any way and she held a job at 12 yrs of age working in a plant nursery for 8hrs/day after school. She saved up, worked three jobs while in college and graduated with a masters (and some debt). Today she is very, very wealthy... So, whats your excuse again?

@Ynotnow7 On the contrary, I know many people who came from poor neighborhoods and built their own businesses and worked their hearts out to become the middle class. Perhaps it's harder now with government in the way. However, saying that others aren't as well off and deserved to be paid more is a bad, bad argument. You need to work to be paid and try to get a better job. What's your ideal salary for a poor person? 100k a year for working at mcdonalds?

So obviously people do take is seriously, not only that, but many of the other students actually believed what the people were saying.

@wewillrockyou1986 "the government" is a very broad term. Some people in the government disagree, but if you look at the actions and steps certain branches have been taking the are not against "this kind of thing". I'm not against people trying to be "green" (even though I think they are overestimating exactly how much of an impact we have on our planet), what I am against is any branch of, or organization deeply affiliated with, the government to force these ideals onto the populous.(cont...)
Fanatic4500 5 months ago
@wewillrockyou1986 (cont...) It is my humble opinion that the government should not take any part in saying how companies should be run (within the scope of reason, obviously the government should make laws preventing the creation of monopolies [even though the government itself seems to be trying to become a monopoly] and prevent fraud and all such nonsense). No private company would become green out of their own free will because it *loses money*(!). Being "green", at this point, is expensive.

I never insinuated this, although it is most likely true. Not to mention the endless lengths I would have to go through to debunking all of his videos, because of his vast amount of content.

@supermurder67 Wow, man, you're so smart. Have you ever stopped to think why one side accuses the other of being racist and the "racist" side doesn't care to retaliate? Have you ever seen a Republican stand up and say "DOWN WITH THOSE WHO AREN'T WHITE"?

Why would you need to say that to be racist?

But you can give me his opinion on any talking point, and I will most likely be able to shred his arguments with ease.
"You admit to calling people gay all the time, and yet I'm guessing you view conservatives as "Homophobic" Simply taking something I say completely out of context. You have hang out with your buddies and see something you say and say "wow that's gay" etc.... Gay used in slang for something you dislike isn't bigotry. I cannot see how it is even remotely (cont)

possible to be offended when I say the word gay. Bigotry is when you do not view them as equals or long to strip their rights away. This is something republicans condone, and I do not. So the right wingers are the bigots. Saying the word gay in casual conversation with your friends in no way shape or form makes you a bigot. And if a homosexual does get offended by that., then they are probably looking to be offended as there is no logical reason for them to be.

@supermurder67 LOL, YES REPUBLICANS HATE THOSE WHO ARE NOT DESCENDANTS OF EUROPEANS, BUT DEMOCRATS ARE THE GODSEND, PEACEFUL, PERFECT INDIVIDUALS. ALL RIGHT WINGERS LOVE GOD, BUT THEY BETRAY HIS MESSAGE BECAUSE THEY HATE BLACK PEOPLE.

The root of these problems is money.
Pay which people recieve from man they work on.
don't u see that the most lowpaied work is the hardest? how can it be possible?
and the one who works less receive the most of profit. for example, bankers .
What the hell are they doin? What's the purpose of them?? think about that for a while.
But the main problem is that people on our planet so lazy and faithless that they cannot unite und build more beautiful and effective world.

Right because bankers don't work hard at all. LOL. Maybe they get paid more because they get an education? Anyone can be a janitor, not anyone can be an investment banker. Bankers are EXTREMELY important to any society but apparently you don't recognize that.

@rjfrjf65 not everyone can get an education, and no; bankers do not work hard, as a matter of fact they do very little work, and say a construction worker, who does much more work gets payed much less.

Are u serious? wait a minute, are u investment banker?
Dont u know smth about economic system? I know, cause I've got an economic education and been learnin enough since crisis kicked your ass.
Bankers arent EXTREMELY important, especially to society cause they are buyin goverments(1), givin loans to countries and states that never give back that money but will take another loan until their economic system is fcked up.(2)

So predictable is that government=big business servants go on their TV channel to critique such films.
I think that Story of Stuff gives the REAL picture of what is goin on in our world.
There are many horrible things caused by Our Life System and increased by our blindness.
For example, financial system that gives us eternal inflation, converts Life into liquidating debts. This system gives dollar producers the ability to buy all the other world.
Food, ecology, stupid wars etc.
