priscillakpamintuan & IntergalacticDude: Thanks for your comments. We think you have exhausted enough energy on your discussions. Hope those comments below will be the last. Again, thanks for visiting and watching our video.

[priscillakpamintuan]

... either socialist countries or countries who profess to be socialist. Even the Devil can quote the Scriptures, after all.

[priscillakpamintuan]

Calling people or countries "communist" does not discredit them. On the contrary. Unless you lived in a rock for the past few months, you may have heard of the Occupy Movement. They are protesting the very system that you so ignorantly defend.

Come to think of it, why do I bother to reply to these asinine comments? This will be the last. Thank you.

[IntergalacticDude]

@priscillakpamintuan haha weird, you are so smart yet you are so blind. Live in china and get your medical treatment at cuba...oh im sorry, you wont be able to post here because they might not even allow the internet lol. I dont care if you dont reply anymore, but im sure wed laugh at u guys for your anti US protests.

[reallynow2010]

@mancheromanchero Good lord. You Occupy Wall Street hippies need to get it straight, go home and get a job.

Yeah, sahib, get off your soapbox and stop yammering about stuff you dont even get.

[EDRIELpogi02]

[IntergalacticDude]

The Vietnam war was tragic. Nobody denies that. I am not even defending it. Its an example of having good intentions with horrible outcomes. Iraq was stupid, but it got rid of an oppressive despot. But hey, youre saying nobody would have died had the US not gotten involved right? U really think people who dont like communism wont fight? people in iraq have elections for goodness sakes!!!! finne u dont like elections and welfare and freedom :)

[priscillakpamintuan]

@IntergalacticDude Iraq had "elections" alright: The president was handpicked by the US Armed Forces to "run" in the elections. He is a nominal leader. Lots of material on the internet to read. Please do not impose upon us your ignorance.

[IntergalacticDude]

Again, the whole point is to keep things and your perspective simple.  you are clogging this whole argument with smuggery that u know more than anyone. The poor doesnt give a damn about what ur saying. Like it or not things will go private..its already happening. Sige pati world bank i cut off mo na din lahat na i cut off mo if thats what u want and then what? What is your plan for the Philippines?

[priscillakpamintuan]

@IntergalacticDude The point is really simple. You are the one with smug comments. These people who are protesting are poor people, these organizations are organizations of poor people. You can Google the names of these groups, and go to their offices, if you please. Plan for the Philippines: for starters, there is nationalist industrialization, genuine agrarian reform, foreign policy dictated by Filipino interests, not that of foreign government and multinational corporations.

[IntergalacticDude]

@priscillakpamintuan Weird. The Philippines have been trying to do it on their on for decades now and i dont see any good results. Besides, why just protest against the US when CHINA;s hands are everywhere too? Nobodys hating on China...its just cool to hate on the USA.

[priscillakpamintuan]

Vietnam War: more than half a million civilians dead. Yup, the US sure showed those Vietnamese communists who is the boss. Wait, natalo pala ang US doon. As for Iraq: wow, the US also sure showed those Saddam-loving Iraqis. The Iraqis now all love the US. Meanwhile, more than 100,000 civilian deaths, as of today. For more info, read iraqbodycount(dot)org

[IntergalacticDude]

I think you should understand what you are reading and the reasons why the US fought those wars. not all their wars were perfect i know that for sure, but to call them terrorists??? saka nayayabangan ako sa mga taong katulad nyo e cgro mayayaman kayo kaya ayaw nyo na ang mga mahihirap e magkaroon ng free healthcare? minimum wage of $5? nice public schools? Everyday i wish na ang mahihirap sa pinas e makakuha ng benefits ng america. self righteous communist pricks...

[priscillakpamintuan]

@IntergalacticDude The US, through financial institutions like the World Bank, International Monetary Fund and the Asian Development Bank, have pushed for liberalization of industries, deregulation, and privatization of social services -- those very basic social services that you mention, like health care and public education. Kung pribatisado, ano na ang mangyayari sa serbisyong ito? Magiging negosyo ito. Ano ang pangunahing tunguhin ng negosyo? Kita. Hindi serbisyo.

[IntergalacticDude]

Idiots. Pwede naman pag ipunan ang mga pamasahe nyo papuntang china e doon wla us influence. O baka mas gsto nyo north korea? Ipatapon kayo dapat e. Mga ungas sino sa palagay nyo tutulong satin pag sakupin tyo ng china? I feel sorry for u narrowminded fools and the sheep you are with. America is the lesser of two evils and if america falls who do u think will keep communism away from our shores? Al queda?

[priscillakpamintuan]

@IntergalacticDude I see from your channel that you like basketball. Good for you. But don't comment on things you know nothing about, like international politics. Or you can read more. You'll know, for instance, that the US government has launched more wars of aggression against sovereign countries than other countries combined. Maybe you can read up on what happened to the Vietnam war, to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the proxy wars in Latin America. Or the Philippine-American war.

[IntergalacticDude]

@priscillakpamintuan I know nothing about international politics? ikaw naiintindihan mo ba mga binasa mo or sumusunod ka lng sa leader nyo? do u know that america fought to prevent communism in vietnam? so sino mas maganda buhay ngayon, yung naiwan doon na vietnamese or napunta dito? Afghanistan was for bin laden and al queda. Iraq was stupid, but do u know how many are thankful that saddam was gone and we brought some freedom there. Mayaman ka ba? or selfish lang? alam mo ba kung ilan

[IntergalacticDude]

@priscillakpamintuan comunista ka ba? also have u lived in the states? if not then pls dont comment on things you dont know about. Everyday i wish na ang mga mahihirap e nakatira dito sa US dahil dito maalagaan sila ng husto. $5 minimum wage, decent healthcare, good free education, food stamps, etc na di nakakawkaw ng mga ganid na politicians. Ikaw? gsto mo ba ipull out lahat ng US investors? lahat ng call center? sige siguraduhin nyo lng na mabibigyan nyo sila ng trabaho ha?

[priscillakpamintuan]

@IntergalacticDude Now that is just plain funny. Have you ever heard of the financial crash of 2008? Or how the federal government and several US states continuously and systematically privatize social services like health care, education etc? What you are describing ("decent health care, good free education, food stamps., etc.") is not US. It sounds more like a welfare state. And you know countries that have welfare states? I know of one, very close geographically to the US. It is called Cuba. 

[IntergalacticDude]

@priscillakpamintuan Hahaha Cuba compared to the states? r u high? u forgot they are communists and i dont remember anyone running from the US to cuba for the welfare. Canada can also be a welfare state and they do it better than the states in certain regards. POINT IS, if you are poor i think youd rather be in the damn USA than in the Philippines financial crash or not. Even with the crash people who lost their jobs can still support their family and not be on the streets.

[priscillakpamintuan]

@IntergalacticDude Calling people or countries "communist" does not discredit them. On the contrary. Unless you lived in a rock for the past few months, you may have heard of the Occupy Movement. They are protesting the very system that you so ignorantly defend.

[IntergalacticDude]

But thats what they are right? COMMUNISM. Wallstreet IS messed up and it is true it has become a problem. But it is also a huge source of potential income that is why people want to tax them. You sound really smart and educated, but you are only book smart and NOT PRACTICAL SMART. If you love Cuba and china so much, good riddance, they hate the US too so you can go with them. Too bad u cant post anymore, they have no internet lol

[priscillakpamintuan]

@IntergalacticDude You are, indeed, a moron who thinks he is smart. A simple Google search will reveal what the word "communism" means. And Cuba and China are not communist, by any stretch of the imagination. Cuba may be socialist, though. Gad, why do I even bother with you.

[IntergalacticDude]

Respond to this video... Good God, China and Cuba are not communists? No Communist ties? Oh man....so what do you think of Iran? Should the US intervene? Probably not right and let them get a nuke and start WWIII. Hippie. All i can say is, you keep coming back here to respond because I am making sense to you and you cant handle it haha

[priscillakpamintuan]

@IntergalacticDude No, because I work for the media group that made this video. China is capitalist, however you look at it. Marx described communism as a historical stage where there is no longer class oppression. Kind of like what Lennon was describing in his song (Was Lennon communist, then? Hmm.) So there is no communist country, before or today. Not yet, anyway. What popular media, and the cold warriors usually, albeit erringly, refer to as "communist countries" are actually...

[priscillakpamintuan]

@IntergalacticDude There are Americans who come to Cuba for medical care. You may want to watch Michael Moore's documentary film "Sicko."

[IntergalacticDude]

@priscillakpamintuan and where did fidel castro get some of his treatments? got that right, the USA.

[priscillakpamintuan]

@IntergalacticDude Where did you get that info, from, ehem frigging Bill O'Reilly? Ha.

[IntergalacticDude]

Besides, we in the United States do not even think of Michael Moore as credible. where is he now? I have no idea. For you to believe him you are out of your mind.

[priscillakpamintuan]

@IntergalacticDude You do not just say a person is not credible and hope people will believe you. "We in the United States." Ha. So you think all Americans think alike? You are even more clueless than I thought. At least, the Academy of Film believed him to be credible, by awarding him an Oscar. Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 is also only the most watched documentary film of all time, bar none. How credible is that.

[IntergalacticDude]

I know right, it was Bush and Cheney who masterminded 9/11. Throw in the Illuminati too, the New world order!

[thecico12345]

hahaha they got baseball bats!!1 damn hahaha

[r61m31]

magrally man kyo di dararating ang hinahanap nyo, di kayo pakikinggan kahit naririnig kayo...di nyo ba alam yan?

[pulengot]

aklaa ko bva proteksyon ang pulis eh bakita ganyan ginagawa nyo?

[krguda09]

mandrum65 does not know civil rights and how genuinely democratic societies should work. We have a life, and we have a right. Get a right, man.

[mandrum65]

Peaceful? I think shouting is not peaceful. Peaceful? I think brainwashing is not peaceful. This is why we keep on falling to the ground over and over again because of the "crab mentality" that is runs through our veins and seeps deeply into our brains. We keep on pulling other people down instead of putting ourselves together and bringing each and everyone of us up! Get a life man..

[5887777844466]

to the person wearing blue. he should be jailed for brainwashing the ignorant Filipinos.

[omel2000]

kakaawa mga pinoy na makitid ang mga utak.

[iwasanangryyoungman]

@ifyousmell123 you are a hypocrite, man...the Internet was made possible by the US Department of Defense -  every time you log on, you are actually patronizing an American innovation. Go back to your trees and feed your kids "sovereignity". Ha ha fuckin' ha.

[iwasanangryyoungman]

Better yet, sic CAPTAIN AMERICA on 'em!!!

[iwasanangryyoungman]

Someone should throughly check if the protesters are suitably attired - anyone wearing an "American" brand like Converse or Levi's should be dressed down for hypocrisy. If they REALLY want to get their message across, they should wear G-strings like their Igorot ancestors - yes, even the women!!!

[iwasanangryyoungman]

looks like they couldn't get a job in a call center, judging from their thick provincial accents.

[reallynow2010]

These idiots deserve it! Apparently every president is a 'US puppet'. Goes to show you that no one will ever be happy. It's really for the greater good if we had a leader with a tighter grip on things.

[acksbouy]

kahit sa harap ng publiko walang awang naghahampas ng batuta ang mga nka uniporming dapat na maglingkod sa bayan!! nakatayo na nga pinalo pa sa ulo..
