Mankind 'God's Masterpiece or the Devil's Bad Joke?' - Eduardo Galeano

[hotpapaish]

It is impossible to take anyone seriously who doesn't have their facts straight on basic biology.

[vadh09]

I just love him...

[neephius]

What your really saying is AMERICA is a Bad Joke. That every one wants gone.

[neephius]

@neephius No I dont nean i want America Gone Just the People that Make it a Joke.

The Politicians.

[M1ST3RHYDE]

Wow, That was Beautifull

[natemorey]

uhhh I hate that he said the only ones who "rape, laugh" those umm no... lol otherwise right...

[sagekid2]

Let's dispose with God and the Devil and just agree that life is a goddamn joke.

[smergel99]

Animals definitely rape, and not only for procreation, some do it for submission purposes. One could argue that they torture too, like a cat with a mouse or an orca whale with a seal, but we say that's just playfully exercising and learning. But aren't our "playful" instincts there to get us to be curious and learn? We may be the only carnivore that doesn't ever have to kill (us average consumers, that is)

[Saktoth]

Love? Penguins.

Daydream? I know my cat had dreams. She would twitch and run while she slept, probably dreaming of chasing mice. Im sure she daydreamt about something similiar.

Make silk from worms? The worms make the silk!

Beauty in rubbish? Bower Bird!

Colours beyond the rainbow? Many animals see beyond the spectrum of light that is visible to us (though arguably, they are are ALSO in the rainbow).

Music? Birds.

Words? Bonobos!

[chopin65]

I choose the bad joke for me. People remember a bad joke longer because they are easier to tell.

[mushmouth4life]

Humans: the only animal to actually study nature.

[artformeandyou]

He's giving humans way too much credit.

[therock27374]

The sex theory is WRONG. Babies are delivered by STALKS, not with filthy chemical exchange, YUK.

[mattblackcat]

STORKS !

[chopin65]

I thought it was the cabbage patch. Strange, oh well, either way it is another mouth to feed as my mother would say.

[tommyk77]

What? "The only ones" was so overused.

2 stars. Dull voice talking nonsense

[bawokoroma]

His accent is so cool.

[virtuethecat]

thank you for the one and only broad generalization for everyone. this was the greatest video of all time for all eternity.

[lynchmobb2000]

wow, and i thought i was a nihilist

[AVTPro]

I saw a beautiful colorful rainbow today.

Nice Video.

[silenciohospital]

The title is wrong. It's not "EUDARDO".... the name is "EDUARDO".

[ForaTv]

Got it, thanks.

[jkl0031]

I just want to say how much I appreciate it when you guys at Fora fix errors on postings without getting an attitude about it. You're good people.

[ForaTv]

Hey, no big deal. We're human, we make typos (hopefully not too often). Thanks to our viewers for not getting too upset about it. :)

[greatbroad]

I think we are our own masterpiece; our own bad joke; our own enemy; our own savior...

But humans are not the only ones who love, Eduardo Galeano is mistaken if he thinks animals do not love.

[chopin65]

Love? Strange....'kay....I had a cat named Caligula. He was a bad little kitty. He killed a racoon once.

[greatbroad]

Well, you did name the thing Caligula-- and are you sure he was able to take out a racoon; those things are nasty.

[chopin65]

Oh, yes. This was back in college (Northwestern). I was sharing an apartment with three others, and my roommate John Green witnessed the event. According to John, Caligula (named after the Roman Emperor-Caligula is Latin for "little boots") blinded the poor creature after it had broken through a screen door in our kitchen. Raccoons are scavengers. John, and his then girlfriend Amy, watched in surprise. Caligula was torn up badly, however. He was taken to the vet afterwards.

[chopin65]

I loved that cat. He was very brave. John took him when he moved to L.A.. I heard that he was still scratching and clawing his way to the top as of last Spring.

[greatbroad]

@ chopin65

Oh, ick. I would have hated to clean up that mess.

But I am glad you admire your cat. The feline is often symbolizes feminine . Are the women in your life wild-- like Caligula? This may be very revealing.

[chopin65]

I had four sisters who used to torture me for sport. That's normal, though. After torturing me they would torture me more with liberal doses of kisses. These days I get far less excessive treatment from women.

[lianghaochen]

amen

[freaks182]

i agree, when i heard him say we're the only ones who love he was mistaken, animals do love. just becuase a dog can't say it loves its master doesn't mean that it doesn't.. its ignorant to say that something that is as deep rooted in us as love can only be apart of us and didn't come from somewhere farther back.

[reginaron]

I agree with you 100%
