If someone needs to be rescued and the cops try to stop you, shove through them, let the PR chips fall as they may. Horrible world we have allowed. No one can do much of anything without a piece of paper that says that they are qualified. This is tyranny. A very sneeky form of it, but tyranny none the less.
Under this guys arguements, the sale of herion or cocaine or any other drug should be allowed as a matter of 'personal freedom'. So should the sale of whiskey to a nine year old. Laws might serve a purpose if you spend a little time examining why they exist.
@aussiebear22 Personal responsibility doesn't factor into it. You think people should just be trusted to choose not to consume illicit drugs but then you pass a law making that decision for them. Conservatives piss and moan about personal responsbility....when it suits them. How about you actually answer the question. Should a person of full age be able to choose to consume any drugs or product as a matter of personal choice and freedom so long as the consequencs are theirs alone?
I think you missed what he said. Yes, drugs should be legal. But you so purposely added into the conversation underage children as part of the argument. I would say there should be an age limit on these drugs, and some MAYBE from prescription. MAYBE.
Have you been to a poor neighborhood anytime lately? Drug dealing is more than rampant. It is everywhere, and has been since the 70's. (Before then as well, not nearly as prevalent as is now. This is because of prohibition.
@OffTheGlass87 I agree that prohibition creates massive problems. My view on the vid is that certain things cannot be left to a person to decide for themselves. For instance, we don't allow people to drive without earning a drivers licence. This vid seems to suggest that all regulation is bad because they (in my mind) purposely want all laws to be seen as oppressive rather than useful to society. How would laws against sub prime loans have helped the US if put into place in 2001?
Subprime laws. LMAO. They were only there because the government forced banks to make loans to people who couldn't afford them, so they could campaign on how they help the poor and down trodden and all that nonsense. They forced the banks, 1977 Community Reinvestment Act, and Clinton expanded a lot, bush as well. Government caused the problem. Look past the first step, look at step 15 and you'll see the problem of rules and regulations.
@OffTheGlass87 It had nothing to do with government back home loans. Mortgages lenders made money by making bad loans and then selling them onto the market, freeing themselves of the need to collect on them. Glass-Steegal would've prevented the meltdown by keeping bad loans with the company that handed them out. The general market would've have been unaffected and the leverage which amplified the losses would have never occured. A lack of PROPER regulation was the real problem.
I pity kids today. They're spoiled and protected and protected some more. Aside from the fact that the way kids are coddled today stunts their maturation, it's also can't be much fun. We used to ride our bikes through this hilly forest and boy did we get injured! But we had a blast. It must suck being a kid today.
hahaha I laughed so hard at "the reason the other three sucked so bad is because they were about politicians discussing treaties, and holding court, with british accents"
Haha, dang, that was a pretty good comparison about the first 3 vs the second 3 movies. I agree wholeheartedly that the first 3 were way better than the 2nd 3.
God, I love this guy.... He is articulate and has a smooth believable verbal delivery. The question remains though, how do we go about radically changing our government as most of us believe we need to do. As I believe it was said. Freedom will only be made available to all, by the blood of patriots willing to give their lives to protect our constitutional rights as citizens. Is this our next step?
Mr. Ford is also a helicopter pilot and have participated on search and rescue missions as a volunteer sheriff deputy. Activities that probably will upset ou7r distinguished ecofraud swindler..
@jaybrackett Yeah. I think, but I'm not certain, but that might be a Sky Arrow 600 Sport plane. It's a light sport plane meant strictly for VFR flight and doesn't require a full private pilot's license to fly. What's more, planes like this (well, I don't know about the Sky Arrow) aren't very expensive. They're great if you want to do some flying by yourself or with one other person, and no luggage.
i liked the last three better although i love the rebels. the animations and special effects are wonderful. the stories were good and the combat was intense unlike in the old ones were the combat was cheesey and bland. in fact i really think the first three kinda suck in some repsects.
....here in scandinavia we got the nanny state.....but then people travel to unsafe countries,and do stupid things for one week....old men travel to thailand/16 year olds to bulgaria to be drunk for one week....and people end up in jail around the world for real crimes....and the expect the goverment to get them home....
i think its funny that wendy buckley can argue that planes cause climate change while i could just as well argue that cars are worse and more dangerous to the individual and the environment. Which does she use more?

Of course it is! But when you travel through the Maw, which is cluttered with black holes, traveling in straight lines is impossible! Thus the run is measured in distance. The shorter the distance the closer one gets to black holes.
How did we get to owning slaves? I fail to see the connection between flying and owning another human being. This is not a stupid debate. Yours was just a stupid comment.
The reason we can't own slaves is because our personal freedoms cannot come at the expense of others' freedoms.
But flying a plane does not limit anyone else's freedom. It may not be good for the environment, but neither is breathing the air, owning a home or driving a car. Should we outlaw those things too?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Come on! This is not a freedom issue! If you are imposing costs on other people by polluting you should be responsible for it. If you disagree that flying a plane is polluting, argue that! The letter to Harrison Ford didn't argue that he shouldn't have the freedom to fly. She argued that he should be responsible!
This is much like the abortion argument: You're not FREE to murder. You're not free to impose costs on others.
Wrong, it's about people trying to dictate to others how to live their lives. Further , the woman seeks to make a profit by selling valueless 'carbon credits' as a form of cheap absolution for causing a non existent problem. If it were about pollution alone it would make more sense to ask that he work toward finding a way to enjoy the freedom of flight that is more efficient and less polluting.
@Jebusankel Yes it is. All this global warming and climate change stuff is fictional. I'm still freezing in the winter and geting a tan in the summer. And who are you to dictate our responsibility, let alone suport a snobby woman from the UK?
@SimonConewall I'm not going to take a position on GW because I have not read the literature. I believe anyone who thinks the truth about GW is intuitively obvious is mistaken. I'm not dictating anything, I'm using a keyboard. If you are causing harm to others, you should be responsible. This is such a basic tenet of law I don't know how else to say it. If you disagree that harm is being caused, then feel free to argue that, but I believe Bill is being disingenuous by framing the issue this way.
@Jebusankel "It neither picks my pocket or breaks my leg" Thomas Jefferson
Wendy Buckly (or however you spell her name) is trying to pick the pocket of Harrison Ford to support an ideology dangerous to a free world causing harm.
@SimonConewall Jefferson's quote was about freedom of religion, so I don't know what it has to do with our discussion. Don't get me wrong, I loves me some T.J. Dr Buckley stands to profit if Mr Ford buys her carbon credits, and that certainly raises a red flag of conflict of interest. but that doesn't prove anything. Congress people get money from both sides on any bill. That doesn't mean they never make an honest decision. You're making a nasty sounding claim but without proof.
@SimonConewall "But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg."
-Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1782
Context matters. If you read what Wendy Buckley actually said, it's hard to claim she was arguing to limit anyone's freedom. Carbon offsets just undo the damage done by flying or whatever activity, just like gas taxes and toll roads undo the damage to roads from driving. It's about responsibility, not liberty.
@Jebusankel That quote is also applied as a template for how laws should be made.
This Carbon Tax stuff is just taking away peoples money for something minor like flying an airplane. How is this about responsiblility when our liberties are being taken away because of things like the Carbon Tax?
@Jebusankel Well, you existing in a Christian-philosophy based nation is harmful to the fragile ideologies of the radical Islam-fascist regimes that exist in the middle east. Since you are so well-meaning, kindly annihilate yourself to not be a splinter in their mind. Your post is one of one-sided prejiduce.
My God, leave the decision to the individual, not the collective. We are not BORG, we are human! Resistance is NOT futile so long as we have free will and the freedom and common sense to exercise it. So why won't people wake up and take control of their own destines once again and tell big brother government, to pound sand? Simple, they fear making decisions for themselves and want big brother government to do ti for them. They have sacrificed everyones freedom to the nanny state.
Absolutely brilliant. Liberalism has done to this nation in 20 years what British rule, a civil war, two world wars, and the soviet union could not do in 234 years. They've destroyed our fundamental way of life. They ushered in an era devoid of common sense. A time lost to moral fortitude, self reliance, and individualism. Replaced by the here and now and for the foreseeable future, an era of politically correct weakness, where grown men are to liberalized to change their own tires.
Nancy Pelosi reserved 5 jets to fly herself & pals to..wait for it..Copenhagen Climate Conference - all with taxpayers' money. The round trip cost to Copenhagen and back cost taxpayers $160,000. There were 135 additional planes and 1400 limos hired to go to Copenhagen by US politicians alone: Where they enjoyed 5-star accommodations and every possible luxury; Despite the Snow Storm. It's estimated that the transportation to Copenhagen alone produced as much carbon as an average City.
A parsec is a measure of distance, roughly 31 trillion kilometers, or 19 trillion miles. Am I saying the original film was wrong in calling a parsec a measure of time?
Yep. Believe it or not, the original 3 had its share of quirks. That's one of them. Don't believe me? About to click thumbs down?
Of course it is! But when you travel through the Maw, which is cluttered with black holes, traveling in straight lines is impossible! Thus the run is measured in distance. The shorter the distance the closer one gets to black holes. the bigger the achievement!
we can thanks Obama for this bullshit. He is the one that started this racist shit again. And you can bet that some like that girls will use it. we see it every day.
Extremely well done. Kudos to Bill Whittle! Great job of connecting the dots between personal freedom and bravery. This 5 star video deserves maximum circulation.
God Bless you Bill for the story about the little girl in England. How typical of bleeding heart liberals to allow a child to suffer and die. After all, it's liberals who are the bastions of abortion - from the "morning after pill" all the way to men like Peter Singer who profess that children as young as 2 can still be aborted (ie: murdered).
We truly are living in a Nanny World when the men and women sworn to protect stand around and protect the liberal way of allowing children to die!
So I wonder if Dr. Buckley also comes out against her liberal climate change cohorts like Al Gore for his carbon footprint? Anyone remember the story a year or so ago about his mansion in TN and how much electricity it used? Where was Dr. Buckley's outcry then? How about Gore's insistence that he continues to eat meat - and the fact that groups like PETA claim eating meat leaves a larger footprint than driving a car? So where was Buckley's outcry then?
@sensfaninohio Nah, man - the RULES are for US to live by - while THEY fly in private jets, commute in fleets of armored SUV's, eat $3000 meals, heat outdoor olympic-sized pools, and use all the incandescent lightbulbs they can stand. The hypocrisy of the whole Green Movement Leadership is stunning - *almost* as stunning as the average Greeny Zealot's inability to see that hypocrisy....
why she go after harrison ford why dont these so called envior Mentalist go after al gore. he keeps preaching about saving the enviorment while he takes a jumbo jet and a limo to get to his destination
The last three Star Wars movies were only made because the fans asked for them. They wanted to see how the Empire was formed and how Vader turned evil. Todays audience always needs to see the back story. Why simple imagination is lost on them. The prequels are not that bad but they leave little to the imagination. We need movies to remind people what America is all about, we need John Wane. America has lost its science of right and wrong.
I believe that there are two kinds of people in this country and Bill described them both. We can't mend the divide between the two any longer, those that strive for self determination and initiative and those that have an entitlement atitude or being looked after from cradle to the grave mindset. The former will no longer pay for the later, those and those like me are tired of paying for the limp lame and lazy to bitch about whats wrong with this country when they themselves are the problem.
Star wars 1-2-3 sucked because it had nothing to say. Only a retarded love story (queen not aging... yeaaaaah), flashes and explosions so "plants" can enjoy it without the need of having a brain to produce information (twists in the plot, etc).
Not only do they get "protected" (doomed) by their parents, they also fail to learn how to deal with their problems. Look at teenagers. If they have a problem, they start doing drugs (alcohol, cigarettes, and the better known ones like weed etc), girls turn into lesbians because of some person breaking their hearts (didn't your mother tell you to don't give a F about jerks like that? Oh wait, she didn't. Was too busy checking the rubber on the edges of the table).
Star Wars and Indiana Jones are a couple of my favorite sagas/stories of all time and it is no coincidence that Harrison Ford is my favorite actor of all time.
Americans need to revert from the present Old Republic decadence to the energy, exuberance, and courage of the Rebel Alliance and to the gut-actions and Plan B archetype of Dr. Indiana Jones.
This is admittedly anecdotal, but there were stories of how Russian men in the days of the Soviet Union would return from Finland after being married to Finnish women because they couldn't handle the greater amount of sheer choices that Finnish semi-capitalist society offered. It was just overwhelming. Do we really want to be like that, where the all-powerful Big Mommy state makes basic adult decisions for us?
DR. Buckley and her progressive american friends should just come out and say there from the dark side. They will feel better about telling the truth.
This reminds me of the 1060 movie "The Time Machine" (also known as H.G. Wells' The Time Machine).based on H. G. Wells's 1895 novel of the same name about a man from Victorian England who constructs a time traveling machine and uses it to travel to the future. With laws like this I could see H.G.wells future happening.
What a great world and country we grew up in Bill. I remember drag racing on "the Circuit", as in "...the Circuit's lined and jammed with chromed invaders.". Ridng in the backs of pickup trucks, losing my virginity in the backseat of a Plymouth Fury III, 'Pong', Disco vs Lynrd Skynard and hitchiking everywhere...I want that America back for future generations. Everything about our culture that changed has changed for the worse it seems.
As Dennis Prager said in his video (see my channel, featured video): "the larger the state, the smaller the individual". We just become small cogs in the larger and more important State. It might be an easy and secure life (like a cow in a pasture) but I'd rather be a maverick on the open plains (with all the risk that entails).
One caveat: **IF** "carbon" were as dangerous as the fanatics think, then it would be right to restrict it by law. But it's not.
@CountArtha, well it really depends on how you define freedom.
I define it as the ability to act according to my wishes.
So if I wanted to have sex with you CountArtha and you said no and I preceded to rape you but the law punished me then, as defined, my freedom would be limited.
I misspoke in my last comment. What I meant was that without laws everyone would have to constantly on guard, surrendering a bit of ones liberty in one area of life can serve to expand ones liberty in another.
"We need the stop personal flying or people will be raping each other".
The only "freedom" we need sacrifice is violating others natural rights and that includes getting the state to violate the rights of someone else for you.
It is true there is a balance between freedom and law, but the reason behind this video is to stop the "Nanny State" which means the Government takes over our lives and that is tyranny. Now if we did get rid of Government regulation all together, it would lead to some sort of anarchy.
It'd be so awesome if you did more vids based around pop culture themes like this and the Star Trek one. They're so interesting and relatable to pretty much everyone.
Not complaining though; you have a real talent for making all of your vids compelling, interesting, and awesome.
Ok, I'm gonna make a special request here. I'm trying to post this to my facebook page; however, it won't do it with the thumbnail. It just says 'youtube' with no thumbnail. And the thing is, people WILL NOT watch it without that little thumbnail. Weird, but true. So, can someone make this so when I go to post to fb, it will carry over with the thumbnail. You guys are the best.
By the by, I find the more Bill Whittle talks, the better looking he gets.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I normally like Bill Whittle but this video was nonsense. Flying whenever you want regardless of the consequences can only be an instance of the most juvenile definition of freedom imaginable.
Harrison Ford can still have his euphoria without needing to fly for a cheeseburger.
@KittenButter, Why not? He's paying for it. He's not costing anybody anything, therefore, in my mind, it's nobody's business what he does. What consequences?
While it's interesting to hear the U.S. is close to Lithuania in something since I'm a Quarter-Lithuanian in heritage, it's not for a good reason. Also, that last part about Star Wars was awesome.
He needs to change the name of this to "The Slow Burn" because it creeps up on you and then it's too late; by the end you're already on fire. I love these segments.
the Kessel Run was a smuggling route therefore the Imperial bureaucrats would have something to say. The space environmentalist would love him because a parsec is a unit of distance (3.25 light years). Traveling a shorter distance reduces his hypermatter footprint on the galaxy .
If someone needs to be rescued and the cops try to stop you, shove through them, let the PR chips fall as they may. Horrible world we have allowed. No one can do much of anything without a piece of paper that says that they are qualified. This is tyranny. A very sneeky form of it, but tyranny none the less.

Of course it is! But when you travel through the Maw, which is cluttered with black holes, traveling in straight lines is impossible! Thus the run is measured in distance. The shorter the distance the closer one gets to black holes.

So let's all own slaves now too! Stupid debate. "I want my plane! I want to be wasteful! I want! I want! I want! Why? Because it's fantastic!"

How did we get to owning slaves? I fail to see the connection between flying and owning another human being. This is not a stupid debate. Yours was just a stupid comment.
Commiesarentcool1 1 year ago 3
The reason we can't own slaves is because our personal freedoms cannot come at the expense of others' freedoms.
But flying a plane does not limit anyone else's freedom. It may not be good for the environment, but neither is breathing the air, owning a home or driving a car. Should we outlaw those things too?

Come on! This is not a freedom issue! If you are imposing costs on other people by polluting you should be responsible for it. If you disagree that flying a plane is polluting, argue that! The letter to Harrison Ford didn't argue that he shouldn't have the freedom to fly. She argued that he should be responsible!
This is much like the abortion argument: You're not FREE to murder. You're not free to impose costs on others.
Jebusankel 1 year ago
Wrong, it's about people trying to dictate to others how to live their lives. Further , the woman seeks to make a profit by selling valueless 'carbon credits' as a form of cheap absolution for causing a non existent problem. If it were about pollution alone it would make more sense to ask that he work toward finding a way to enjoy the freedom of flight that is more efficient and less polluting.

@SimonConewall I'm not going to take a position on GW because I have not read the literature. I believe anyone who thinks the truth about GW is intuitively obvious is mistaken. I'm not dictating anything, I'm using a keyboard. If you are causing harm to others, you should be responsible. This is such a basic tenet of law I don't know how else to say it. If you disagree that harm is being caused, then feel free to argue that, but I believe Bill is being disingenuous by framing the issue this way.

@Jebusankel "It neither picks my pocket or breaks my leg" Thomas Jefferson
Wendy Buckly (or however you spell her name) is trying to pick the pocket of Harrison Ford to support an ideology dangerous to a free world causing harm.
Explain that.
SimonConewall 1 year ago
@SimonConewall Jefferson's quote was about freedom of religion, so I don't know what it has to do with our discussion. Don't get me wrong, I loves me some T.J. Dr Buckley stands to profit if Mr Ford buys her carbon credits, and that certainly raises a red flag of conflict of interest. but that doesn't prove anything. Congress people get money from both sides on any bill. That doesn't mean they never make an honest decision. You're making a nasty sounding claim but without proof.
Jebusankel 1 year ago
@Jebusankel I found that quote in Arguing with Idiots and it was applied to the sins of the nanny state, the state punishes for something minor.
What are you even saying anyways? I'm just saying that this Carbon Credit stuff is harming the individual liberty of flying and is not necessary.
SimonConewall 1 year ago
@SimonConewall "But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg."
-Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1782
Context matters. If you read what Wendy Buckley actually said, it's hard to claim she was arguing to limit anyone's freedom. Carbon offsets just undo the damage done by flying or whatever activity, just like gas taxes and toll roads undo the damage to roads from driving. It's about responsibility, not liberty.
Jebusankel 1 year ago
@Jebusankel That quote is also applied as a template for how laws should be made.
This Carbon Tax stuff is just taking away peoples money for something minor like flying an airplane. How is this about responsiblility when our liberties are being taken away because of things like the Carbon Tax?

Simple, they fear making decisions for themselves and want big brother government to do ti for them. They have sacrificed everyones freedom to the nanny state.

Absolutely brilliant. Liberalism has done to this nation in 20 years what British rule, a civil war, two world wars, and the soviet union could not do in 234 years. They've destroyed our fundamental way of life. They ushered in an era devoid of common sense. A time lost to moral fortitude, self reliance, and individualism. Replaced by the here and now and for the foreseeable future, an era of politically correct weakness, where grown men are to liberalized to change their own tires.

Nancy Pelosi reserved 5 jets to fly herself & pals to..wait for it..Copenhagen Climate Conference - all with taxpayers' money. The round trip cost to Copenhagen and back cost taxpayers $160,000. There were 135 additional planes and 1400 limos hired to go to Copenhagen by US politicians alone: Where they enjoyed 5-star accommodations and every possible luxury; Despite the Snow Storm. It's estimated that the transportation to Copenhagen alone produced as much carbon as an average City.

God Bless you Bill for the story about the little girl in England. How typical of bleeding heart liberals to allow a child to suffer and die. After all, it's liberals who are the bastions of abortion - from the "morning after pill" all the way to men like Peter Singer who profess that children as young as 2 can still be aborted (ie: murdered).
We truly are living in a Nanny World when the men and women sworn to protect stand around and protect the liberal way of allowing children to die!

So I wonder if Dr. Buckley also comes out against her liberal climate change cohorts like Al Gore for his carbon footprint? Anyone remember the story a year or so ago about his mansion in TN and how much electricity it used? Where was Dr. Buckley's outcry then? How about Gore's insistence that he continues to eat meat - and the fact that groups like PETA claim eating meat leaves a larger footprint than driving a car? So where was Buckley's outcry then?

The last three Star Wars movies were only made because the fans asked for them. They wanted to see how the Empire was formed and how Vader turned evil. Todays audience always needs to see the back story. Why simple imagination is lost on them. The prequels are not that bad but they leave little to the imagination. We need movies to remind people what America is all about, we need John Wane. America has lost its science of right and wrong.

Not only do they get "protected" (doomed) by their parents, they also fail to learn how to deal with their problems. Look at teenagers. If they have a problem, they start doing drugs (alcohol, cigarettes, and the better known ones like weed etc), girls turn into lesbians because of some person breaking their hearts (didn't your mother tell you to don't give a F about jerks like that?

Star Wars and Indiana Jones are a couple of my favorite sagas/stories of all time and it is no coincidence that Harrison Ford is my favorite actor of all time.
Americans need to revert from the present Old Republic decadence to the energy, exuberance, and courage of the Rebel Alliance and to the gut-actions and Plan B archetype of Dr. Indiana Jones.
Excellent analogies.

This is admittedly anecdotal, but there were stories of how Russian men in the days of the Soviet Union would return from Finland after being married to Finnish women because they couldn't handle the greater amount of sheer choices that Finnish semi-capitalist society offered.

People should be allowed to do whatever they want, as long as they are not hurting others.
And by the way, anthropomorphic global warming has been proven a hoax.
If people can't stand up on their own two feet and do what is right, then they are doomed and better to be culled from the herd.

There's a lot of truth in there.
As Dennis Prager said in his video (see my channel, featured video): "the larger the state, the smaller the individual". We just become small cogs in the larger and more important State. It might be an easy and secure life (like a cow in a pasture) but I'd rather be a maverick on the open plains (with all the risk that entails).
One caveat: **IF** "carbon" were as dangerous as the fanatics think, then it would be right to restrict it by law. But it's not.

@CountArtha, well it really depends on how you define freedom.
I define it as the ability to act according to my wishes.
So if I wanted to have sex with you CountArtha and you said no and I preceded to rape you but the law punished me then, as defined, my freedom would be limited.
I misspoke in my last comment. What I meant was that without laws everyone would have to constantly on guard, surrendering a bit of ones liberty in one area of life can serve to expand ones liberty in another.
