[denbowan]

Female education! Hilarious!

[sabotoged]

oh I think you do.

[crazygeek777]

why are their so many nazi video links wtf

[taskmasterlax]

@crazygeek777 because the survival of the fittest idea inherent in the theory of evolution fits in perfectly with the Nazi ideology of racial superiority.

[Swamoez0rs]

@taskmasterlax uhm... no

only if you don't understand or actually are completely ignorant or dead wrong in your understanding of evolution.

[taskmasterlax]

@Swamoez0rs sorry i should of said..."because they believe that........" .its not my view that darwins theory of evolution fits in with nazi racial theory

[Swamoez0rs]

@taskmasterlax Ah ;) Sorry, might have been too much on the offense. But it's the kind of argument you hear from folks who 'try' to reject evolution ...

[thesparitan]

@taskmasterlax whats your point.

i hope you are not saying that because evolution was used as a nazi propaganda, that makes it wrong or evil?

[sabotoged]

@crazygeek777 - Hm... Because they're a lot of 'nazi' imitators today who love to persecute, manipulate & oppress others in order to build up their self esteem, to fit in with others, and to make themselves feel righteous?

[crazygeek777]

i don't see how that has anything to do with evolution...

[sabotoged]

@crazygeek777 - Survival of the fittest baby!

Right?

[crazygeek777]

"Erasmus Darwin was member of the Luna (Lunar/Moon) Society"

You can tell this talk was in the USA due to all the moronic laughter.

Same as TedDirector talks.. check the venue, rich idiots buy tickets for entertainment.

Writing science in verse is beautiful and humanizing, we look at the stars and Nature in genuine awe,

Humans define what humanity means

myths challenged is learning.

USA kills itself with mythology, it explains Rumsfeld's lack of planning.

Wake up to reason and best ideas.

democracy and debate.

serious is truthful. beauty is reality,

[funkalunatic]

@marsCubed You live in a police state full of tabloid-reading twits, snobs, and street thugs, a country that acts like the clingy, insecure friend of the US. The only thing more pathetic than a bully is the one envious of the bully. Who was right behind us in Iraq? UK. Who pays us for the privilege of lapping up our cultural detritus? UK

[marsCubed]

@funkalunatic LOL @ police state.

UK police don't even carry guns

USA has the highest per capita prison population on the planet. higher than Russia which is going through huge social change or the 3rd world.

Land of the free?

lols

USA has least unions or voice for regular people.. more hard labour (slaves) than the Gulag system had in the Soviet union.

More in prison who are innocent by all statistics because you do not value justice or fair trials.

yup i am a snob, for justice and democracy.

[funkalunatic]

@marsCubed No yeah I'm with you - US is pretty shitty.  Slavery is relatively nonexistent though, unless you're talking about wage slavery.

[marsCubed]

@funkalunatic Wage slavery is unfortunately something we all know all too well.

[shenmueryu]

@marsCubed You posted this a year ago. Wanna hear a joke? the "statue of liberty" is now getting fitted for cameras so people can look from the view AND it will also serve as a monitor/camera in the area

[mitchnesbitt]

this doctor is robin williams with a british accent

[MattPointGrat]

@mitchnesbitt Holy shit, you're right.
