Smoking a pipe, pondering the existence of Planet Kolob

[fenderstrt4]

mormon pipe smokers lol

[RAVENxFLIGHT]

Hey PipeFriendCHS I was wondering if you could do a video on the supposed death of Osama Bin Laden, Personally believe it to be bullshit due to the fact we only have their "word" on it, but I would love to hear your opinion. (I looked for a video like this and couldn't find one so Srry if you've already posted this)

[mrhatto]

@RAVENxFLIGHT Osama Bin Laden would have every reason to resurface if he was not dead (to hurt US legitimacy and thereby give a boost to is agenda). I had this same thought, questioning Osama's death, when the news said that he was dead but by now it is clear that he is indeed dead (or rotting away in a "secret" prison somewhere being squeezed for information). :)

[metachozoite]

whats your view on the planet naboo?

[PipeFriendCHS]

@metachozoite I used to live there. Love the weather

[metachozoite]

@PipeFriendCHS Lol ever been to the Jedi temple there?

[Arkais1930]

It would change my vote defiantly, cause a Mormon president would just be bat shit crazy like the rest of them.

[Knightdor]

Sure your not referring to Scientology? Sounds like them since they believe life on earth started when aliens came here and planted seeds in volcanos or something like that.

[PipeFriendCHS]

@Knightdor no this from Mormons

[meandmymouth]

Having read the latest contributions from your many fans (like me), I wondered do you generally find you get more responses on either smoking, politics, sex or religion ?

[PipeFriendCHS]

@meandmymouth Politics/religion

[mikeloaf]

for the sake of america, and by extension, the civilised world, i sincerely hope that the tea party is kept out of power. for the simple reason that they are batshit crazy.

[kpflyinghigh123]

religion or race does not sway my vote

[FullMoonMysticism1]

Honestly, I could care less what you believe in as long as you aren't harming anyone in the process, (except for muslims, they piss me off) I am not religious at all but keep an open mind to the possibility of a higher power. So, as long as the politicians can secure our borders, keep america safe, fix our financial problems, and genuinely have good ideas and solutions to fixing america for the better, then I could care less if they worship rocks or fairies.

[UNIXness]

There are no Mormon pipe smokers. They can't smoke, their faith bans it.

[meandmymouth]

When I was your age I also loved politics and probably like you also actually thought it was all genuine. Instead I now realise our professional politicos choose this trade as a life long career a bit like acting in soap operas. One season they get to play the saints and the next the sinners. That's why there are only two.They swap these roles and their personae accordingly to the election results and pick up a nice pension for it all on retirement. Don't let me disillusion you though !

[PipeRevelations]

I wonder what planet hell is on.

[Drudy90]

@PipeRevelations If people continue to believe the bogus dogmas they cling to...this one.

[underpressure990]

I am really tired of politics. I liked them before but now I deal with small corporate politics so much, Ive gotten to the point I just ignore it. Mostly I feel I cant do anything much except vote to change anything so I dont even bother listening to the news anymore. In fact, I dropped cable all together now. Wether CNN, MSNBC, FOX or whoever is on, it doesnt matter. Each company is swayed to their own beliefs so you cant really trust anyone anymore.

[Drudy90]

I'd love to see an atheist president. Being an atheist libertarian, I'm a bit of a minority lol

[MINIHermanator]

You dont vote for american politics but are you allowed to vote for your dutch politics?

because Dutch politics is intresting with that racist prick and How is he so succesfull? I DONT KNOW SOMONE EXPLAIN IT

[PipeFriendCHS]

@MINIHermanator Dutch politics have gotten very complex. The Dutch always were extremely tolerant, but now that muslim minorities are becoming majorities in the big cities people are worried about muslimization. That's the while issue summarized in 2 sentences

[MINIHermanator]

@PipeFriendCHS Some would say that we have as much muslim minorities in the UK then you in Holland and the only problem i have seen with the Muslims is that they hang onto there culture and they deny ours but this does not mean they are bad people.

And yet you see Gert Wilders write books on how Islam is a evil religion based on evil surely that should not be aloud in a liberal society where racial harmony is important

[PipeFriendCHS]

@MINIHermanator The issue is not so much racial, but more religious

[sully5328]

Hi new to pipe smoking. Love the vids. Very helpful indeed. Could you explain how to season a new pipe please.

[PipeFriendCHS]

@sully5328 I have a playlist on my channel with HOW TO videos. Look for how to pack a pipe video from me or other presenters

[gunner525]

I like Germany's stance on voting. If you have a permanent residence there for more than, I think it is, two years you can vote. Kinda cool to have a say in what happens in the country you're living in. Yeah I think the only way the Dems will win is if they run Hillary instead of Obama.

[Paatrikklives]

It wouldn't affect my vote. I care solely about the practical policies a candidate would stand for. It would make no difference if the candidate was an atheist, Mormon, Christian, Jew, Muslim, Satanist, or what have you. All I care about is the sort of policies I believe he or she would enact.

[pipetech26]

Sounds like a bad case of Mormon... take two warm glasses of common sense and reason and if it doesn't clear up in a few days.. see your primary physician.

[pipetech26]

Im not religious but also am open minded... I will not vote for a strong religious based representative IF they push it. However if they show the ability to seperate state and religion then I MAY vote for them if I agree on their stance regarding the economy, foreign relations ect....

[kylesdad77]

Oh wow!! If a Mormon ever was elected, I'd move to another country! Jk They are nice people but sadly mislead and have extremely strange beliefs.

Marc--- any plans for the big 1000th video??

[PipeFriendCHS]

@kylesdad77 I am terrified by my 1000th video. No inspiration!

[miketallica665]

I will have to ask my boss on the Kolob issue!

[hpsj07]

i have a problem on biting on the stem of my pipe lol

[ksolo012]

What does the magic underwear do? Does it make your farts not smell? If so sign me up!!

[Gijera]

@ksolo012 Not quite, usually it makes them smell like sweet petunia's, but you can opt for various 'flavors' of the magic underwear.

[PipeFriendCHS]

@ksolo012 rofl

[firelightguitarist]

ok, i have some mormon friends, and i love them, but mormonism is full of shit. not only from a common sense point of view, but being a united methodist christian myself, it has gaping holes and crass contradictions to the bible. there's no way that a guy found these ancient tablets/papyri and was the only one that could decipher them. that's like saying "i have a lotus elise!" and refusing to show anyone because the should just believe you because you said it.

[sound2loud4U]

yes the magical underwear is true i knew of a guy in the army that wore them.

[Falcrist]

I know you're a fan of english tobaccos, but what aromatics do you like?

[PipeFriendCHS]

@Falcrist Sillems Black

[manxkin]

we're doomed

[ring088]

the writer of battlestar galactia based a bunch of the stuff on Kolob and other nutty mormon stuff

[manxkin]

Chart a course for planet Kolob... warp factor 2....what the ...

[FolkMetalManiac]

what is this music thats always playin?

[PipeFriendCHS]

@FolkMetalManiac electronic

[eriklares90]

i vote... but i know next to nothing about politics, i just can't retain information regarding the subject.

[MrEpipe]

There is only one true tea party candidate, Ron Paul!

[SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

As far as the election goes, if Palin runs (which I predict she will not) she will lose. In general I believe that Obama will win a second term. It is very hard to defeat a sitting president. And even though I am a conservitive libertarian, (and would NEVER vote for a liberal democrat) I am not hatin' on Obama, he is doing a pretty good job (IMHO) all things considered. (except for the outrageous spending) And unlike the Clintons I believe (like Bush) he actually cares about our country.

[PipeFriendCHS]

@SmokeRingsPipeDreams the Supreme court approved infinite money that doesn't have to be disclosed. This is a HUUUUUUUGE gift from the Republican leaning Supreme Court to the Republicans and I think elections are won with money, not ideas, so the Repubs stand a good chance to win

[SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

@PipeFriendCHS Which rulling was this? I googled and didn't find anything. Aren't the democrats able to take advantage of it as well?

[Drudy90]

@SmokeRingsPipeDreams The case was Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.  And yes while the Dems can take advantage the overwhelming majority of corporations are going to put money into Republicans campaigns because of Republican insistence that the rich need money more than the poor and middle class.

[SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

@Drudy90 That's an assumption on your part, but both parties are sell outs. And it's a myth that the dems are pure and don't take money from corporations. They do as well. Plus any other lobbyist who comes along, just like the republicans. Both parties are increadibly corrupt. Believing in one or the other is a fantasy which keeps both of them in power.

[Drudy90]

@SmokeRingsPipeDreams I support neither party. But the idea that tax cuts for the top 1% of earners is in some way beneficial to this country is an absurd idea that I cannot believe Republicans actually support. And yes while both parties are susceptible to corruption and financial influence corporations are going to be more apt to give their money to GOP candidates because of the financial benefits that party endorses. That''s what I meant in my original comment.

[PipeFriendCHS]

@SmokeRingsPipeDreams Drudy90's response is correct. It is heinous, not necessarily because it benefits one party over the other, but it basically means corporations control elections now

[SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

@PipeFriendCHS You are aware though that a lot of Obamas money came from wall street people? Both parties sell out to corporations and special interests.

[PipeFriendCHS]

@SmokeRingsPipeDreams both parties tap into different corporations. Repubs get far more money from corporations and wealthy donors. democrats get money from corporations and many smaller donors, at least this was the case in last election

[BROTHERoftheBRIAR]

@SmokeRingsPipeDreams i agree with you 100 % ..my union 32bj haha was involved in getting him elected traveling to the battle stated to recruit voters ,,thers absolutely no one out there that can reakk==lly handle the job ,,he is healthy a cool guy and for the people he always thinks about how people in ythis country are affected and trys to lesson our burden ,,now if people would only let him do the job and stop throwing wrenches in his plans we might get some where,,thanks for your vids

[Evongelo]

@SmokeRingsPipeDreams I like to see another Libertarian, but i find it hard to believe you are one (no offense intended) if you think Obama is doing a good job. He has socialized health care, and expanded war in Afghanistan, another unconstitutional war, increased US debt, and absolutely no attention payed to our educational system or crumbling infrastructure. I highly doubt Obama will win reelection since the man has succeed at none of his goals and we have only gotten worse since he got in.

[SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

@Evongelo Well, I guess I'm not that clear about what I mean. It would take a video for me to explain what I mean. Basicly I think he actually cares about our country. (unlike the clintons, who I believe were just cynical opportunists)and I would never vote for a democrat let alone a liberal one. But dropping buzz bombs on terrorists in pakastan is a good thing in my opinion. Keep guantanamo open is also a good thing. Calling a hit on thos pirates. He hasn't tried to ban guns yet.

[SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

@Evongelo I guess the best way to sum up my position is that he's not as evil as most presidents are. But it doesn't mean I would ever vote for a democrat, let alone a very liberal democrat. Maybe what I mean is that the right is trying to frame him as an absolute devil and I don't believe he is. It think he is actually trying to do the best for the country. Bush was trying to do the same thing. Yes both are misguided and doing the wrong things.

[SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

I think a far more important question is does this candidate (of which you speak) wear "magic underpants"????

[PipeFriendCHS]

@SmokeRingsPipeDreams I researched that too, but found the planet Kolob to be even more interesting

[SamuraiPirate88]

Well I don't look at religion in politics. It doesn't necessarily matter what personal beliefs they have, as long as it doesn't interfere with politics. Mormons believe that God lives on another planet, so what?

[PipeFriendCHS]

@SamuraiPirate88 But what if that planet is short on water and has an invasion fleet? ;-)

[SamuraiPirate88]

@PipeFriendCHS ha now that would be pretty scary but pretty cool. I think The Mormons would call that judgement day. That would be cool if one day we found intelligence on other planets and were able to actually go there. I am pretty sure they are out there, out of the trillions of planets there are in this universe.

[PipeDreamsInc]

I used to be Mormon, but I got better.

Yes, they believe in Kolob. And lots of other wacky stuff.

I knew Mitt Romney personally when I lived in the Boston area. No, I would not vote for him.

Best,

Bill

[PipeFriendCHS]

@PipeDreamsInc Can you tell us if the rumors about the magical underwear are true? If we had a mormon president, would he be wearing those holy undergarments?

[PipeDreamsInc]

@PipeFriendCHS Yes, it is true that Mormons who have been to the temple must wear special undergarments all the time, except when bathing, having sex or engaging in some activity (tennis, swimming) where wearing them would be inappropriate. I'm sure Mitt Romney wears them and would continue to do so if elected president.

Best,

Bill

[hack0si]

Learning about HOW the Mormon faith came to be is significantly more interesting than the beliefs themselves.

I want a magic tool that lets me decipher the word of god :P

[PipeFriendCHS]

@hack0si I don't know, i find Kolob to be fascinating. What if that planet is short on water and has an invasion fleet? ;-)

[hack0si]

@PipeFriendCHS LOL good question, ask a Mormon!

[bigdawgandrewm]

As far as i am concerned Religion should have NOTHING to do with politics, that is why the american government will fail in 50 years.

[virginiatechfanx]

you smoke one like everyday.

[Bhitch92]

@SarrisTech I don't think the US does dual citizenship anymore. At least I know you can no longer get dual Mexican and US citizen ship, so I have a feeling it's now like that for all (Or at least some) other countries now-a-days. If you had dual citizenship before they stopped doing it (I want to say in the mid 90's, most likely incorrect though), then you still have it, you just can't instate it now. But I'm sure there is someone watching that knows a WHOLE lot more then I do on the matter.

[techavon]

@mparramore A fair number of the "Founding Fathers" as they're called were deists and spoke out against Christianity. The nation was founded on secular principles. The people themselves may have been Christian, but the actual framework of the government was intended to eliminate religion as a factor in its operation.

[mparramore]

Interesting...As I understand it, this nation was founded on Christianity. As the Nation evolved Christianity is put on the back burner. Now, in politics religious beliefs is not a factor. I do believe that if a Mormon running for Presidency comes out and says that his God exists on a Planet Kolob, he would be laughed off the polls.

[IamtheFuzze1]

not at all, a president that has a REAL(i'm not debating if God is real or not, by real i simply mean Actually believes, doesn't just say they do to get votes of some kind) belief in God, will only make me feal more comfortable that there not just guna screw the people he is president over since he has a fear of a greater power over him... now, at the same time kind of have to look into it and make sure that there god doesn't want them to kill a bunch of people, or hate a specific race of people

[PipeFriendCHS]

@IamtheFuzze1 But what if Kolob is short on water and has an invasion fleet? ;-)

[PipeFriendCHS]

@SarrisTech I am Dutch
