[dayv1975]

Heartbroken I missed X. Rudd twice now, in Calgary. Fantastic artist/musician that weaves beauty, knowledge & "brotherhood". Bless you & yours Xavier, my children adore your lyrics AND music. My son hacked into Calgary Board of Ed. in-school, 'cause he just couldn't help himself, instead of him getting in trouble, the teacher requested he "turn it UP". A few songs, 2 I know for sure were: 'Messages' & 'Better People'. His teacher - nor classmates hadn't heard of you. Now they're ALL fans!!!!

[Ravenflight72]

just love it...:)

[Xlorntabis]

[paradisefalls1234]

Xavier rudd is lame...This is what i would say if i was a lier..

[remtheman1]

guys, don't fight about these things, listen to the song, try to do nice and make this world a better place instead of fighting each other, try to be better people...

[MRMILO57]

RUDD is a deceitful lying sneak.

He is 2 faced, he wanted fame and fortune from playing a part in creating a world religious charity fun, 'all under the guise of the climate change con'.

If this world charity fund was forced apon us and created, we in Australia would have ended up with a substanded life style within 10 years!

[xicaozao]

@MRMILO57 im sorry...what is wrong with you?? i mean have you ever met the guy?? how dare you just come here and call someone you never even met names and say deciving things? i have met him and i totally disagree with you. he has this calmness to him, his loving and for the breef hour i met him i could tell he was my friend... i just dont think its fair... you should hsave though better before you posted this

[MRMILO57]

@xicaozao ...hi Kevin.

Every televised appearance, Rudd is calm, too calm. That's because he is totally insincere. He cares only to the extent that he will gain favor, he is committed only as long as it benefits his career. But don't listen to me, listen the experienced diplomats quoted on wikileaks.

xicaozao : Obviously you are not mature enough to understand human nature and body language.

My last post, l mean what l say concerning Rudd. Time will prove this.

[xicaozao]

@MRMILO57 look dude you can say what ever you want about me, all im saying is that shy people like him (and im saying this because i met the guy) normally are diferfent on tv and enterviews..... he is totally diferent in person, very out going and funny.

[crazyskater4]

@MRMILO57 why?



[crazyskater4]

@MRMILO57 i hate industry

[quidproquo2004]

@MRMILO57 Climate Change or Global Warming is not a con, you twit.

[MRMILO57]

@quidproquo2004 ....Chris, you're ownly gen-y. You haven't seen decades of climatic weather in Australia, in the real world what you think means nothing.

Prove to me all this hype about climate change isn't a con?

[quidproquo2004]

@MRMILO57 Science isn't about proof; it's about empirical evidence and crafting theories of nature around said evidence. Because I can't be sure what "hype" you are referring to, I can't say much more. What I can say is that numerous academic institutions agree that the Earth is absolutely warming and that with high confidence it is due to human activity.

[MRMILO57]

@quidproquo2004-Science is knowledge, and proof is our ownly confirmation that, that knowledge is correct. Anything else is bullshit. Critical thinking is discouraged in schools.

These so called numerous academic institutions consist of 'environmental activists' (approx 200 individuals) that have positioned themselves in the last 2 decades to enforce! their activism onto the world.

Copenhagen 2009 was to be the pinnical of their scheme, but it overwhelmingly fail and shamed the activists.

[DarrenJaguar]

@MRMILO57 Science isn't knowing, it's learning. I haven't read your full conversation with Quidproquo but I'm going to say that you can't just go and diss any theory if you truly trust science: people such as you and I are unlikely to have any proof of global warming existing or not existing, meaning we can't say that one is right and the other wrong. Like Schrodinger's cat, it's alive AND dead.

But I go for global warming existing. If it turns out that it does, and we didn't do anything...

[MRMILO57]

@DarrenJaguar ...ok first thing look up science in the dictionary, the words 'learning' and 'trust' won't be there.

Schrodinger's cat, is not alive and death. If you peek and see if the cat is alive, then it is alive. And if you peek to see if it is dead, then it is dead. It's a paradox and it's most definately not alive and dead at the same time.

How about we do nothing about AGW, wait 200 years and appreciate all the money we have saved, be happy with living and don't worrie.

[DarrenJaguar]

@MRMILO57 You're right about the Cat, my interpretation was wrong, thanks.

But rational thinking implys staying open-minded. As I said, it's improbable you have any strong proof of lack or existence of AGW, and I know I don't. So both are possibilities.

If we continue on our current growth for 200 years or so, 1) We'll be long dead through starvation, poisoned air or lack of resources, and 2) the people alive in 200 years are gonna get the shit end of the stick, and you don't seem to care.

[MRMILO57]

@DarrenJaguar ..Darren, geologists, environmentalists etc... know this for fact, major volcanic eruptions regulate the earths climate, not over decades but over centuries, simple!

If you are right at least we have a century to come to agreement (the proof would so evident by then if true) and we have another century to fix it by using TECHNOLOGY.

Darren you are getting yourself all worked up over nothing,

If l am right ' l would humbly accept you apology'.

[DarrenJaguar]

@MRMILO57 To be precise, the said volcanic eruptions would probably regulate the Earth's climate over millenia and beyond, but that actaul peice of information isn't really important ;)

And during this century before climate change is truly proved/disproved, you propose that we continue to rape the planet in the intensive manner we presently do, and finish with a resourceless planet unable to Supply, faced with the Demand of billions? On an economic point of view, whoops.

[MRMILO57]

@DarrenJaguar - the cheek of you!, volcanic regulation of the earths climate, that's my point.

Get yourself better informed!

We need to rape the earth, raping it for all it's goodies that lay beneath, so yourself, l and everyone one else can have great life style. To chat on a computers that were made from raping the minerals of this planet.

Capitalism is a wonderful human acheivement.

If you want to be taken seriously, send your reply on parchment via pigeon.

Thankyou

[DarrenJaguar]

@MRMILO57 Capitalism's flaw is a lack of vision for the future. Market Myopia. As I said, an economic system based on maximising production and supply to provide for demand such as capitalism has only short-term goals, namely profit and very good lifestyle for some, good lifestyle for others, and crap for the other half of the world who have no profit-useful commodities. Later on, when it cannot be raped no more, the planet won't support the poor people having the bad luck to exist.

[MRMILO57]

@DarrenJaguar ...you need to cheer up and live life.

The world is for the taking, if you don't like France, move to Ethiopia, l'll give you a week there, you'll change you mind very fast about being an anti-capitalist.

Seriously, you tell explaine to me, what country is a shinning example of non-capitalism?

lf it's got at least 1 McDonalds restaurant, it doesn't count!

[DarrenJaguar]

@MRMILO57 (computers are quite "green" in energy consumption, but not in production, by the way)

I wouldn't say I'm anti-capitalist, but I'd like to just say that the search of profit by some has a tendency of leading to shit for the others, who happen to be more numerous. And the aforementioned matter of unsustainable capitalism (even the most profit-obsessed idiot cannot deny that there's no point producing if you can't sustain it for a long period of time!)

[MRMILO57]

@DarrenJaguar ...Darren, ya not making sense!

You sound like you going off the rails there buddy....

Are you smoking something?

[DarrenJaguar]

@MRMILO57 Probably am smoking something, it made sense in my head, but reading it now I'm strugglin' to understand myself xD

To recap what I said, but better:

The search for profit by capitalism tends to lead to riches for some, rags for most.

Capitalism's main flaw is its short term goal, AKA Making Profit For Shareholders, which leads to unsustainable production growth and eventual collapse when the companies cannot continue to Supply the Demand they created.

[jeffclarkemusic]

@MRMILO57 O BTW.. How'd Australia do when a little global warming hit your end? Did ya have a nice swim?

[MRMILO57]

@jeffclarkemusic .....what's global warming?

l live 75 levels up, so l'm fine., l just bought 3 new car as well, going to do my part for the environment!

[jeffclarkemusic]

@MRMILO57 Man you're ignorant.. For one there are "green" computers. Get yourself better informed! And I'm fine with people having their own opinion, but post it on a Bill O'Reily forum cause it seems you two have the same intelect. No instead you contradict yourself by posting, "Capitalism is a wonderful human achievement," on a musicians video you clearly have no connection with! But I guess if you consider destroying an entire planet an achievement then yep.. we win! Or we can change things..

[MRMILO57]

@jeffclarkemusic ...green computers my arse!.....green computers are a marketing con to the gullible environmentalist (is there any other kind)? All computers are made by raping the natural world and consume electricity. Your post is contributing to so called AGW.

Your are cherry picking other peoples behavior as bad, but everything you do is sacred and pure. You think this is some holy war to cleanse the earth. But you are the problem.

[jeffclarkemusic]

@MRMILO57 Again you ignorace amuses me. Im not even close to religious.. religion destroyed economy. Jesus, Buddah, Alah whatever.. all just characters like Santa used to control. This is not some "holy war" this is survival. I'm a firm believer in science, I'm just wondering why we've decided to put a halt on developing technologies to tap un-used energy resources.. instead we come up with new ways to tap out the already scarce resources at hand. Why?... MONEY!!! CAPITALISTS = ASSHOLES

[cjklein1937]

Xavier Rudd totally sounds like Paul Simon but has carried it further . Got to love his music.

[archeon93]

this man makes the surfer sound

[staybusyliving]

[haudiwech27]

Modern Bob marley with much more skill

[fuLgore09]

I'm shocked and sorry for people who honeslty don't like such musical and lyrical perfektion.......

[azoksob]

@fuLgore09 dont be so critical mate. there are so many kinds of music that is impossible for everyone to like everything. personally i can say it is a nice song but i would never sit and listen to it . i just came here cos a friend posted me this video . always friendly talking.

[boofneenee]

@fuLgore09 "perfektion" is spelled "perfection"  im sorry, but im a perfectionist.

[hays555]

@boofneenee if you were a perfectionist, you would've used an apostrophe in "I'm".

[boofneenee]

@hays555 lols.. I didnt mean for my comment to come across as a school teacher correcting a students work. Something about misspelling the word perfection is ironic and funny. I could not resist.

[Masterthief2312]

@boofneenee xD nice one



[Hobbysucher]

@boofneenee but you know there are people whos native language isnt english..right? i guess you spell everything right in all the foreign languages you speak? oh i forgot, you´re american, you don´t speak shit ;)

[boofneenee]

@Hobbysucher the word "american" should be capitalized. :)

[volumexii]

@boofneenee "im" is spelled "I'm," with proper capitalization and an apostrophe. Sorry, but I'm a perfectionist.

[AlphaMoth]

@volumexii you´re a faggot, thatś what. 

[7sansevenout]

shorthand sometimes does that ...  luv.

[johnomeadow]

@volumexii you put your comma in the wrong place :p

[mrShikadanse]

@fuLgore09 im sorry for the ppl who cant spell. such a shame

[fuLgore09]

@mrShikadanse

shame on me for making mistakes when writing in a foreign language...

[mrShikadanse]
