Sometimes bob, you make too much sense. It freaks my brain out. That being said, do you really think ANYONE on the right will even pause to consider taking the time to ponder giving a shit about THINKING about what you said? They won't. Corporations are in too deep. As much as I hate saying this, with this current government we won't weed out the corruption without tearing down the entire system at this point. Like in metroid fusion when the X parasite had infected the power suit.
Well That just turned into a relationship hate video. Did some woman break your hart Bob? because that was bitter teenage girl bullshit. There is nothing wrong about being in a relationship, and If the only relationships you had to draw from had a foundation on lying and hating each other then you're doing it wrong.
You know, for claiming that he doesn't give a darn about either the GOP or the Worker's Party of America, MovieBob comes down pretty hard on the GOP and is willing to give a Democrat a pass. Considering his "Ivy League" quality educational background, can't say I'm surprised.
Well being a more conservative individual, and not the neo con kind. I do think that it's kinda stupid for the whole "elected officials need to be married" thing. You should only be married because you love someone. And yes you can be honest with your wife or husband. You dont need to lie.
I don't get how nobody understands the point of his opinion. He doesn't criticize relationships by saying it's evil or that nobody should ever be in one, He's simply explaining how relationships usually DO work!
Why do you think the Divorce rate is so high? Why do you see so many people go in and out of relationships? It's not because of the goddamn Satan Devil Cthullu, IT'S BECAUSE RELATIONSHIPS CONSUME AN INCREDIBLE AMMOUNT OF ENERGY AND ATTENTION AND PEOPLE GET TIRED OF IT EVENTUALLY!
It saddens me that Bob has such a negative view of deep relationships. Something tells me he might be a little bitter about the subject, possibly due to personal history.
Nah, personally, I would love to be in a relationship right now, I miss those days, but for the relationships I have been in, let me tell you he's 100% right. Being in a relationship isn't bad nor is it evil, it's simply natural, we follow our emotions and instinct and sometimes it lead us there, but relationships are INCREDIBLY time consuming, require constant thinking and is a fucking energy leech! People DO lie all the time and they also get enough of it eventually.
I mean, Even if those are little white lies, eventually, they take their toll. Relationships, like anything else, are not absolute, neither side of the party is ever satistfied with what they have right now because once they do, it gets stagnant and boredom arise, when someone is bored in a relationship, they go fuck around somewhere else. So you constantly must find new ways of reingniting the flame and that is incredibly mentally consuming!
Although I agree with the big picture I'd like to remind us that this minor correlation of not being faithful and good presidency isn't really justified. First of all, the state of the country doesn't solely reside on whether or not the president is good, it's more complex. Second of all even if we were to take this correlation as proof, which it wouldn't be correlation does not imply causation, you've used a sample size way to small for it to be statistically reliable. Good video though ;3
Maybe we want "alpha males" as our politicians and see marriage as proof of that
Men who are PASSIONATE enough to love a woman enough to commit themselves fully not to fidelity but life-long partnership.
And maybe we expect them to be unfaithful, but only physically (lust) not emotionally (love). It's one thing to get a blow-job from an intern, it's another to date another woman, to have a sordid affair. That's what drives women crazy, the idea that their man LOVES another woman!
I here a cry that he is hating on people in a steady relationships, because he really can't get one, sure I agree, they have nothing to do with politics and they should stay out of the way, but Bob i kinda see an at least subconscious cry out of I'm lonely and that makes me more rational and that's why I don't have a girlfriend... even though I can't get one. also if i may in anyway is this a "Comedy"
Personaly, I find single people to be more honest than those in a relationship, especialy in famous positions. Famous people tend to be in relationships to prove they can have one, where as single people know they don't need one.
@garrj8 Ha ha, narrow minded. Didn't he just say he'd rather if politicians could do whatever they want in their private life as long as they did their job? Rather than, having to have a stable home life in order for him to vote for them? Isn't that by it's nature more open minded than requiring a politicians to be happily married before you'll vote for them?
Hmm....You see, that was news to me. People should love each other, and live mutually in harmony and happiness. Even though we're gonna fight-I understand that now-I also feel that because we've forgot how to care about one another, that where people are becoming real assholes about love, marriage and how it all works. Also, it isn't just men who have these issues; women have a sex drive too, and guys aren't always the dumbasses.
@XiremaXesirin He earned his right to proclaim an entire half of the political system in the United States because he writes a video-game comedy show?
@toasty100 Since when do people have to "earn the right" to share their opinions with others. The only difference between what Bob is doing and how anyone else could do the same thing is that Bob has already garnered an audience who likes to listen to him.
It's not the 'family values' and stuff that me (and many other Republicans) are concerned about with Weiner, it's the fact that he openly lied to the American people. Yeah all politicians lie, but it is our job as those who put them in power to get them out of power when they are exposed. The alternative is not giving a fuck when they are caught doing whatever (not just family stuff, but political corruption and other things) and leading to more and more of it, which is all blackmailable.
@FWalshingham There's lying then there's lying. There's lying about his private life, and let's be honest it's not actually any of our business. Then there's lying about policy and things related to your job. Personally I think the latter is far more important to squash.
Just because you don't care what they do in their private life doesn't mean you have to dismiss what they do politically. And you couldn't blackmail someone with something if the voting public didn't care.
Well he prolly need to move into another topics, since for example, the gameoverthinker is now more "Bob" an less "overthinker" so yeah if this helps him getting him more critical and correct about overthinking w/o biases and prejudices( as we know Bob, has many of those) then go go go. and get that out of you chest man.
You know, I used to be really passionate about politics. But the problem is, the mean IQ of the united states is simply not high enough to understand it. There is no point in using logical arguments, when America as a whole is simply no longer smart enough to comprehend how democracy works. Most of America can't discern Presidential Debates from American Idol. For that reason, I rarely attempt to argue politics with people. Just smile and nod as misguided half-truths get flung at me.
@voidmaster45 This is why I'm always dubious of politicians that want to reduce funding for schools. Education, clean elections and a good news service are the three most important things when it comes to having good politics.
Well I gave this show a shot bob. Though I like your shows about videogames and movies, whenever you venture into the realm of politics....... well I'm not that entertained. But hey, its a new show for you and I hope ya have fun with it. I'm just gonna stick with your other shows. ^^
i dunno bob, i like listening to you on gaming/film related topics, but i have Dan Carlin's common sense for american politics. hes a tough act to follow. good enough video though- still seems to fall into the "republicans are assholes" trap as both parties seem like assholes, but good enough
Pro-left wing bullshit, with a healthy dose of comedy from Moviebob. Not the worst thing I've ever watched :) Beleive me, I hate HATE the bible-thumping, family values, shit from the republicans, but are they any worse than the complete lack of respect for proven principles of economics and free-market from the democrats? They're all career-politicains and the fact is that only a handful give a FUCK about you or me, and that's what's wrong with this country, not Bush or GOP, but politicians.
@Supertrekkie4 Its funny how US leftist economics are considered fiscal conservatism in the rest of the developed world. One of the proven principels of the free market is that corporation will fuck you over for every penny that you make by artificially infalting prices of healthcare, food and other must-have product that any member of a western society should have excess too. There is no reason to respect those principles.
@AJBuwalda Oh please, the corporations create jobs and provide products and services that people want, if their prices were too high, people wouldn't buy from them and they wouldn't make money, that's capitalism. You can't say "Damn this is too expensive! Fucking capitalist assholes!" and then turn around and buy it anyway... that's hypocritcal in every sense of the word. I'm an Economics major, and every facet of economic theory supports the free market, even freer than we currently have it.
@Supertrekkie4 That is true as long as corporations play the game fairly ofcourse which never happens. Are you telling me that for example the ensurance companies haven't been consistantly banding together to keep prices inflated en their pay-out rules more elusive? And ensurance isn't exactly a product of which one can say "Fuck it, it's too expensive. I won't buy it." It is a neccesity and millions are unable to afford it because of a lack of control on corporations.
@AJBuwalda Well, Health "in"surance is the worst example of all because that whole system is fucked beyond belief... I don't think those companies are banding together to keep prices high, but they're certainly not being completely efficient. I would however argue that Insurance is definitely a product one can decide not to buy. You are paying money, in exchange for peace of mind... if you don't go to the doctor a lot, or don't expect any forseeable injuries, then you can opt not to have it.
@Supertrekkie4 Really? You don't think health should be a universal right in a country as developed as the USA? There are loads of deceases that are dangerous and you don't see coming until you already need medical care. You'd let these people die or suffer for a real long time because its against your free market ideal? If so, that is rediculous.
@AJBuwalda I don't believe in "something for nothing" so I don't believe in "universal rights" as you put them. Every human should have the right to not be murdered by anyone, and not have their stuff stolen, etc., but beyond that things are earned by giving back to society. Most jobs offer health coverage as a benefit. There is no way to please everyone, so I'd rather please the majority of people, and the people who are contributing to society, so yes, I go with free market ideals.
@Supertrekkie4 So health, a roof over your head and food are not rights? While you go to college and have an Ipod, an education, an computer and a camera, other work two jobs to have enough food to pay their kids and put them trough school. You would deny them simple health care while you life a relative secure life because you asume they don't contribute to society? Disgracefull.
@AJBuwalda I'm not personally denying anyone anything, I would LOVE nothing more than for everyone in the world to have everything they ever wanted, but we live in a world of scarce resources, that's a fact that people need to come to terms with. The fact that so many people are able to afford the things you speak of already is through the miracle of wealth breeding more wealth. I don't assume people aren't contributing, that's for society to decide... this is how the world works.
@AJBuwalda It's not any easier, you're making assumptions. There are certain things that are simply true, and whether I lived in a mansion or under a bridge overpass, they'd still be true and I, being of sound mind, would know them to be true. The old "well, you're priviledged so you can't understand" cop-out is just that, a cop-out. My economic status doesn't disqualify me from having an opinion on social issues, nor can it be used to paint me as some self-righteous, poor-hating fascist.
@Supertrekkie4 . This get's me thinking everytime this issue comes up. Why can't there be a party that is both progressive in values and supports fully the free market model of economics? Although my personal bias for such is partly because I'm "For Science"; the other half being I want a tail.
I'd buy into that type of pollitics espoused by the writer of Atlas shrugged. What was her name? Anne Ryned?
@ZexionSephiroth I hear ya. I'm sure such a party exists, the problem is that the two-party system has such a stranglehold on American politics that it's an insurmountable barrier. I literally vote for the Republicans because between them and the Democrats the GOP lines up "closer" with my personal politics, and a vote for a third party is completely throwing my vote away. I wish it wasn't like that. We desperately need a different system, but I don't see it changing. :( & yes it's Ayn Rand
@Supertrekkie4 . Yeah, it's a similar thing here in australia, even with it being a parliament. Most of the seats get taken up by one of two parties with about 5 or so split between independants and a party that no-one knows anything about.
Right now, here in australia, both parties have about the same number of seats. One would call that a good thing but neither side knows what they're doing... and that is why I like debating politics but not watching it.
@ZexionSephiroth No, no no no nono NO! Ayn Rand's political and philosophical beliefs are more bullshit than anything that you may see in politics today. Ayn Rand promoted selfishness, elitism, and in some cases racism. Look else where, If we were to adopt Ayn Rand's philosophy we'd be more screwed than we are now.
@rocka156 Before Ayn Rand died of lung cancer because she believed tobacco companies rather than government funded scientists, she was drawing down social security cheques and receiving public healthcare. She's also quoted as praising the ethics a serial killer who decapitated a 12 year old girl because "other people truly don't exist to him".
@rocka156 It's because the people who do are superficial arseholes who look for ways to justify their selfish beliefs. Nobody cares about Ayn Rand or her philosophy, it just appears to support their way of life so they grab it and ride it and ride it for all it's worth. You know she's also a staunch atheist and believes theism is a mental problem? I'm an Atheist so it doesn't bother me, but I'm sure her 'good christian values' followers don't know that.
@GuitarBlair "lack of respect for proven principles of economics and [lack of respect for] free-market" Democrats don't want a free-market... or at least they want a less free market.
@Supertrekkie4 Amen brother. I can firmly say I am first in line (or at least near the front) in the Christian crowd who despises the "angry self-righteous" among our own ranks. But you know what ticks me off more?
An angry self-righteous pseudo-logical leftist.
Why? Not because they don't have a moral expectation to not do it, average civil society demands humility from everybody, Christian or not.
@Supertrekkie4 *continued from previous* It is because they have the gall to claim that somehow their intellectual status and firmly grounded logical arguments somehow allows them to be as vindictive, angry, bigoted, and closed-minded as the very people they rail against. *sigh*
@Supertrekkie4 Well (and I acknowledge that what I'm about to say is personal opinion and you don't have to agree with it) I would say the Republicans are worse. Not that they don't have some decent arguments but I just don't see how they can treat the free market as something sacred and the government as something to be feared when the free-market is just as corruptible, if not more corruptible, as the government and is a lot better at keeping it a secret if they screw you over partly because-
@Ayzahar At the moment yes but if the anarcho-capitalists get their way and the government is removed entirely I fear the corporations may take their place and then they could very well end up in a situation where they can enforce their own laws with a well armed police force or military (hell Private Military Companies exist already). In society the ones with the power make the rules and in a world without government the corporations hold the power.
@Supertrekkie4 Part 2: -the Republicans implant this idea that the corporation are so sacred in the first place. In my opinion both the government and the corporations need to be kept in line to some extent.
Um...but Lincoln was a horrible president who pursued an utterly pointless and costly war that left scars that are still apparent today. And no, I'm not from the South. Hell I'm not even from the North. And no, he didn't free slaves because he was a moral guy; Emancipation Proclamation only freed them in the South, not the North, it was an attempt to spread disorder and chaos in the opposing sides territory. The Civil War is one of the worst cases history being written by the victors there is.
As for JFK, he was a thoroughly mediocre leader who made nice speeches, made a vow we would land on the moon, and got shot. That last point is largely the reason he's so famous, he got to go down as a gallant hero. Read up on him, he was rather a douche with lots of mobs ties and basically stole his election. Oh and the Cuban Missile Crisis? Overrated bullshit. It was a series of non-events strung together.
Clinton was riding an economic high-tide, and with each passing day in he in retrospect becomes a worse president as his various moronic decisions lead to unfortunate results 12+ years on. And FDR...eh, he was actually pretty good. Very debatable whether his New Deal actually did much, economic growth was painfully slow until WW2 kicked everything into high-gear. And things like his baiting of Japan in order to give America a reason to pursue a war in Europe aren't too hot.
I agree with you. Marriage should not be an important quality in elected officials. All it proves is that they're married, not that they're politically able.
Its my belief with Clinton in that what happened with him, his wife, and Monica had nothing at all to do with Congress. Plain and simple it WASN'T thier (Congress's) buisness and should have remained strictly between the three of them.
Bullshit!! You have to draw a line somewhere. This guy was caught LYING!!! You lie...you're gone...end of story! Maybe if we were more strict about this, we'd actually get politicians that DON'T LIE! He shouldn't have even had to resign, he should have been dropped instead!
You're only willing to forgive this guy because he's a democrat and no other reason. I know it would have to be a cold day in hell if you argued the same case had it been a republican instead.
@jjenson2006 well played. It just goes to show you that no matter what political, racial, cultural, religious, idealogy, etc that one belongs to, everyone is a bigot and a hypocrite. Eg. A gay man in the UK part of the lobby group responsible for assigning homes to foster children saying, "Christians should not be allowed to adopt children because they don't support homosexuality," is not seen as discriminating were the roles reversed.
@jjenson2006 yeah you do realize lying can be used for to good of others. like say if telling the people would get them all so mad that it would hinder the growth of the country in a way. It's like how our parents lie you us about Santa clause as kids. They do it because each of us will react differently to the news it is a lie and we are more prepared for the future, but if they tell us the truth right off the bat then we question why they can't get us what we want all the time.
and then we go and spoil it for the rest of the kids before they are ready to understand and take things the wrong way. Heck if I ever have kids I'm going to tell them about Santa just so they don't become the a-holes who blabbed to their friends about being more mature unless they genuinely find out for themselves what the truth is, and by doing so they know that to truly know if something is true or not you must do your own research to the best of your ability before deciding.
Alright, that was cool. Informative and harshly truthful as always.
One thing though...You've got SOOOOOOO many blogs at this point...how do you keep up?
In fact, how do we (your fans) keep up? Between TGO, TBP, ETTM, the other random written blogs, and now this...what's gonna happen once somebody goes on sensory overload? "Agh...games...comics...movies...politics...random shit..".*head explodes*
Amen! Its nice to know your politics are as well thought out as your video game knowledge, plus you seem to have similar political leanings as I do (or at least in this case) keep up the good work, can't wait for next episode!
I'm not sure what to think about this series. Part of your charm, Bob, was tackling specifically focused issues often within the broad realms of movies, comic books and video games. If you can manage to keep doing specific issues this might work; then again, you don't have a track record for being objective (cough Nintendo cough). And the only thing I hate more than people who blindly follow Republicans are people who blindly follow Democrats...which is a vibe I'm getting.
Moviebob, could you please explain your political philosophy to me, mainly finding abortions ok? I don't want a war with angry comments, but I can't wrap my head around someone condoning abortions. Also, why do you think people's right to religion is bad? I'd really appreciate a response. Thank you!
@rkfan100 The phrase is "Pro-Choice" (not Pro-Abortion) for a reason. No-one "finds abortions ok", but the people who are Pro-Choice realize that they have no right to tell a woman what she can and can't do with her own body. Being Pro-Choice is not the same as "condoning abortions". What it is, is believing that women should have a "choice" when it comes to life altering decisions like children.
@CaptainAwesome1692 Ok. I have a slightly better understanding of the reasoning. Thank you. I still can't support that view point, however. Taking an innocent life is taking an innocent life, no matter what the reason is.
@rkfan100 It's not quite taking an innocent's life though, the baby is not conscious and technically not sentient(babies do not develop sentience until around 10 months); it's not like the decision to get an abortion is easy for the parents to make either since your instincts and emotions require very good reasons for killing your own child. I support choice because no ethical rule is absolute, there is always at least one circumstance where a good ethic is not true.
@rkfan100 Tangentially on topic, there are actually people who are pro-abortion. The general belief of people like this is that our planet can only support 1billion people, and we're closed to 7 billion now. Some people do wish that a select billion people be chosen to breed, and the rest of us go sterile. Whoo, humanity.
@TKnightcrawler Yeah, there will always be those with too much and those with too little, and the latter will grow in size as we approach the population cap. The best solution to the over population problem is to do something called zero population growth, which is where every couple only has 2 children. However, since not everyone has children you could probably up it to 3. The only major problem with this method is getting everyone to follow it, if everyone does then no more over population.
Rep. Weiner is just a truth manipulating "REPUGS THROWING GRANNY OFF A CLIFF" jerk (wasn't it Obama who said, it not so many words, let em eat painkillers?); he not part of some vast Zionist conspiracy
Him getting caught in this mess is just yet another example of God's justice.
I hafta say... it's unbelievably amusing AND depressing that everyone ('Bob included, obviously) feels compelled to insert those "Personal Opinion" disclaimers in ALL their videos. It's almost maddening that we've come to the point where we have to reiterate TO OUR POTENTIAL VIEWERS that the thoughts we convey via our self-created videos on SOCIAL MEDIA websites are our own. Depressing on ssoo many levels...
I can't agree with bob on this, but thats cool, it's his show, he can say what he likes. Personally, GOP or DEM, it's not about whose better but rather whose Less likely to screw crap up for the next four years. Hate to say it, but it's been a long time since I've seen either side not look like crap in that regard.
Yet another reason why white people fail. Weiner is just another typical jew without morales and against religion (yet its Ironic since their claim to Israel is biblical). What makes white people fail is that these Jews mostly control Hollywood which in turn pushes so many moraless liberal agendas on the people. And white people let themselves be brainwashed by retards like Weiner and his jewish buddies :P
@VyseN1 yep, racist, always jump on the hate card first. It simplifies things for simple minded plebs such as yourself. Bleeding heart liberals such as yourself are why Europe, Canada, USA, Australia are all going to the shitter. Simply put, white people fail. They're the most liberal, defend other's religions and freedoms (jumping on their bandwagons) but do shit for their own. While people like Weiner and his ilk make fools out of you :P
@TheN0remac you are well trained. Nope I am not trolling, you always see a guy like this behind the worst of scandals, especially financial ones. Some people don't change even after 2000 years.
To prove my point, I shall ask you, which people suffered the most during WW2? The average pleb would answer, the JEWS! After all we are educated to hate ourselves. But what about the 10-18 million Chinese that died for sport under Japanese that made the Nazi's look like carebears?
@MyHairyLeftNut why are you so despicable? really? and how is Canada "in the shitter" I live here and would much rather live here then the U.S. because I wouldn't like to experience total economic collapse thank you.
@TheN0remac because Canada's economy depends on nothing more then new immigrants and cheap labor. Top it off we have things like racial quota. Where banks like TD etc have to hire from all races, banks like ICICI can hire indians only. Whereas in the states asian restaurants hire all races, the ones in Canada hire ONLY asians. eg a Japanese restaurant (owned/operated by Chinese) can hire Chinese only.

That isn't the only area of double standards (cont).
@TheN0remac Now the government of Canada provided funding for some punk band. Their album cover depicting the bible. It was labeled "Holy Shit" instead of "Holy Bible" and "Poo Testament" instead of "New Testament". Can can you imagine the outburst it would have caused if it was making fun of the Q'uran, or any other foreign text. Hell self defeatist whities would have jumped all over the "hate crime".
Why? Because we are ruled and manipulated by folks like Weiner up there.
@MyHairyLeftNut this will be my last reply because you really make me sick of humanity so it will just be a stream of insults you bigoted jew-hating fuck you are the very definition of why people dont like Americas people
@TheN0remac unfortuneatly not one iota of a clever retort from you, but twas to be expected. As for being a jew hater, naw more like admire. (cont).
Here's a question, how do you prevent a nation like Germany from ever happening again? Simple, keep the people divided, invoke feelings of guilt and self hating of one's own culture. Its why history makes no big deal of the 10+ million plus Chinese slaughtered by the Japenese (including IMPALEMENT). Yet everything WW2 is holocaust.
@MyHairyLeftNut As for being a Jew Hater? Its more like admiration.
Check it out, Nicene Accord, Christians can't practice Usury. Which leaves only one group of people to do so in Europe, the Jews. That one event, that one decision left these people to become the wealthiest on earth. Folks like the first Rothschild went from rags to riches just by being a money exchanger (ofc ripping people off, but you can't get rich without doing this). In a few gens, they were wealthier then any nation.
@TheN0remac I shall take a few minutes time to prove to you just how much whitie fail you are. Now if USA were to say, sorry, you can't come to our country unless you belong to THIS religion. What do you think would happen?? Would it be called fascist? Racist etc?
You see America is hated because (despite the fact you have more then 30 million employed), you send billions to Israel to do the very exact same thing :P
@TheN0remac you see what makes Jewish people better? They're not looking after anyone but themselves, and their own agendas. They have rogue nations, coincidentally? in all Christian founding countries.
And while the whities fail and bend over backwards for everyone else in this world, they're building their own little homogenous country kicking out Philipenos and what not that don't belong :P
@TheN0remac or lets not forget about the Trotsky's. Russian Jews that were responsible for the deaths of 5+ million Russians leading up to Stalin and Communism?
Why else would AIPAC have such influence in USA? When they consist of 2% of the population? LOL. A pity America let it get to that. I'm sure the founding fathers would be rolling in their graves.
@TheN0remac oh and btw, from the Canadian PM Stephen Harper who said "Canada will support Isreal no matter the political cost" (eg loosing a seat on the UN security council to Portugal, how embaressing). And once re-elected, he wants to make it so that one's internet activities can be monitered at all times without permission from the ISP, without warrent to prevent "hate crimes". Eg one could go to jail for 2 years for posting a link to Israeli Apartheid. Who's he working for I wonder?
When did I ever say I am a Liberal you dumb ass? You are the scum of the Earth. A racist is a racist. Being either Liberal or Conservative has nothing to do with it. There are idiots and assholes in all walks of life, and you are one of them.
Although I disagree with your statement that ALL relationships and marriages are based on lies, I do agree with most of your other points.:-) People seem to think that being married somehow changes you or your relationship into something special, but the truth is if it wasn't special before, it shure as hell won't be after. Everyone can get f*ing married, but not everyone are fit to run a country. And many married folks are just as depraved as the rest of us, but use their marriage as camoflage.
I should clarify. I said that healthy marriages are based on trust and sacrifice. In other words, to have a healthy marriage, you have to put your spouse's needs before your own.
I think married people tend to want other married people repesenting them and their country because they understand this dynamic. Obviously, no marriage is healthy all the time and a lot of people get married for self-fulfillment and have no intention of living sacrificially for their spouse.
I pretty much disagree with everything you said here, Bob. You've got an extremely narrow view of what married life is like. And, no, "Married with Children" is not an accurate portrayal. Healthy marriages aren't based on white lies. They are based on trust and sacrifice.
I had to check this out because I normally enjoy hearing what you have to say about movies and video games, but I'm happy to blacklist American Bob.
Man, you're realey badass! You work on two great weekly show's at Escapist, work on a video game comentary show at Screwattack and this show! I wonder if you even if have any free time?
Pretty good show as always, but I personally think the animated background is rather distracting. Looking at your other shows, they usually have rather nondescript, one color, faded out backgrounds that don't take away from the load of pictures you use in your presentations. I think a stationary flag would be alright but the moving seems uneasy.
So, Bob, when will you disintegrate into the ether from stretching your corpulent mass way too fucking thin? Two blogs, a couple of discussion panels on the Escapist, and FOUR shows (this, The Game Overthinker, the Big Picture, and Escape to the Movies)? What's next, are you going to go to space? Fight Freddy Krueger? Balance the budget?
While I really liked the point you were making, the hate on people in relationships was a bit unnecessary. If you are in a relationship, where most of your time is spend trying to think up lies to appease your gf-monster, you may want to consider ending it. My spouse is the only person I don't need to lie to.
Anyway. Overall you are right to say that relationship status shouldn't matter in your professional life.
Also, I'm totally flabbergasted by the fact that Americans seem to think a man's personal life is their damn business. If people started giving less of a damn about who's sticking what into where and more about the fact that 90 billion dollars go toward education in your country while 900 billion goes to defense I guarantee more would get done in a day.

That being said, do you really think ANYONE on the right will even pause to consider taking the time to ponder giving a shit about THINKING about what you said? They won't. Corporations are in too deep. As much as I hate saying this, with this current government we won't weed out the corruption without tearing down the entire system at this point.

Why do you think the Divorce rate is so high? Why do you see so many people go in and out of relationships? It's not because of the goddamn Satan Devil Cthullu, IT'S BECAUSE RELATIONSHIPS CONSUME AN INCREDIBLE AMMOUNT OF ENERGY AND ATTENTION AND PEOPLE GET TIRED OF IT EVENTUALLY!

Nah, personally, I would love to be in a relationship right now, I miss those days, but for the relationships I have been in, let me tell you he's 100% right. Being in a relationship isn't bad nor is it evil, it's simply natural, we follow our emotions and instinct and sometimes it lead us there, but relationships are INCREDIBLY time consuming, require constant thinking and is a fucking energy leech! People DO lie all the time and they also get enough of it eventually.
irregularzero 7 months ago
@CruzerramoS
I mean, Even if those are little white lies, eventually, they take their toll. Relationships, like anything else, are not absolute, neither side of the party is ever satistfied with what they have right now because once they do, it gets stagnant and boredom arise, when someone is bored in a relationship, they go fuck around somewhere else. So you constantly must find new ways of reingniting the flame and that is incredibly mentally consuming!

Although I agree with the big picture I'd like to remind us that this minor correlation of not being faithful and good presidency isn't really justified. First of all, the state of the country doesn't solely reside on whether or not the president is good, it's more complex. Second of all even if we were to take this correlation as proof, which it wouldn't be correlation does not imply causation, you've used a sample size way to small for it to be statistically reliable.

Maybe we want "alpha males" as our politicians and see marriage as proof of that
Men who are PASSIONATE enough to love a woman enough to commit themselves fully not to fidelity but life-long partnership.
And maybe we expect them to be unfaithful, but only physically (lust) not emotionally (love). It's one thing to get a blow-job from an intern, it's another to date another woman, to have a sordid affair. That's what drives women crazy, the idea that their man LOVES another woman!

It's not the 'family values' and stuff that me (and many other Republicans) are concerned about with Weiner, it's the fact that he openly lied to the American people. Yeah all politicians lie, but it is our job as those who put them in power to get them out of power when they are exposed. The alternative is not giving a fuck when they are caught doing whatever (not just family stuff, but political corruption and other things) and leading to more and more of it, which is all blackmailable.

@Supertrekkie4 Its funny how US leftist economics are considered fiscal conservatism in the rest of the developed world.

There is no reason to respect those principles.

@AJBuwalda Oh please, the corporations create jobs and provide products and services that people want, if their prices were too high, people wouldn't buy from them and they wouldn't make money, that's capitalism.

I'm an Economics major, and every facet of economic theory supports the free market, even freer than we currently have it.
Supertrekkie4 8 months ago
@Supertrekkie4 That is true as long as corporations play the game fairly ofcourse which never happens. Are you telling me that for example the ensurance companies haven't been consistantly banding together to keep prices inflated en their pay-out rules more elusive? And ensurance isn't exactly a product of which one can say "Fuck it, it's too expensive. I won't buy it." It is a neccesity and millions are unable to afford it because of a lack of control on corporations.
AJBuwalda 8 months ago
@AJBuwalda Well, Health "in"surance is the worst example of all because that whole system is fucked beyond belief... I don't think those companies are banding together to keep prices high, but they're certainly not being completely efficient. I would however argue that Insurance is definitely a product one can decide not to buy. You are paying money, in exchange for peace of mind... if you don't go to the doctor a lot, or don't expect any forseeable injuries, then you can opt not to have it.

@AJBuwalda I don't believe in "something for nothing" so I don't believe in "universal rights" as you put them.

Most jobs offer health coverage as a benefit. There is no way to please everyone, so I'd rather please the majority of people, and the people who are contributing to society, so yes, I go with free market ideals.

rkfan100 8 months ago
@rkfan100 The phrase is "Pro-Choice" (not Pro-Abortion) for a reason. No-one "finds abortions ok", but the people who are Pro-Choice realize that they have no right to tell a woman what she can and can't do with her own body. Being Pro-Choice is not the same as "condoning abortions". What it is, is believing that women should have a "choice" when it comes to life altering decisions like children.

rkfan100 8 months ago
@rkfan100 It's not quite taking an innocent's life though, the baby is not conscious and technically not sentient(babies do not develop sentience until around 10 months); it's not like the decision to get an abortion is easy for the parents to make either since your instincts and emotions require very good reasons for killing your own child. I support choice because no ethical rule is absolute, there is always at least one circumstance where a good ethic is not true.

@TKnightcrawler Yeah, there will always be those with too much and those with too little, and the latter will grow in size as we approach the population cap. The best solution to the over population problem is to do something called zero population growth, which is where every couple only has 2 children. However, since not everyone has children you could probably up it to 3. The only major problem with this method is getting everyone to follow it, if everyone does then no more over population.

Rep. Weiner is just a truth manipulating "REPUGS THROWING GRANNY OFF A CLIFF" jerk (wasn't it Obama who said, it not so many words, let em eat painkillers?); he not part of some vast Zionist conspiracy
Him getting caught in this mess is just yet another example of God's justice.

I hafta say... it's unbelievably amusing AND depressing that everyone ('Bob included, obviously) feels compelled to insert those "Personal Opinion" disclaimers in ALL their videos. It's almost maddening that we've come to the point where we have to reiterate TO OUR POTENTIAL VIEWERS that the thoughts we convey via our self-created videos on SOCIAL MEDIA websites are our own. Depressing on ssoo many levels...

I can't agree with bob on this, but thats cool, it's his show, he can say what he likes. Personally, GOP or DEM, it's not about whose better but rather whose Less likely to screw crap up for the next four years. Hate to say it, but it's been a long time since I've seen either side not look like crap in that regard.

Yet another reason why white people fail. Weiner is just another typical jew without morales and against religion (yet its Ironic since their claim to Israel is biblical). What makes white people fail is that these Jews mostly control Hollywood which in turn pushes so many moraless liberal agendas on the people. And white people let themselves be brainwashed by retards like Weiner and his jewish buddies :P

@VyseN1 yep, racist, always jump on the hate card first. It simplifies things for simple minded plebs such as yourself.

They're the most liberal, defend other's religions and freedoms (jumping on their bandwagons) but do shit for their own. While people like Weiner and his ilk make fools out of you :P

To prove my point, I shall ask you, which people suffered the most during WW2? The average pleb would answer, the JEWS! After all we are educated to hate ourselves. But what about the 10-18 million Chinese that died for sport under Japanese that made the Nazi's look like carebears?

@TheN0remac because Canada's economy depends on nothing more then new immigrants and cheap labor. Top it off we have things like racial quota. Where banks like TD etc have to hire from all races, banks like ICICI can hire indians only. Whereas in the states asian restaurants hire all races, the ones in Canada hire ONLY asians. eg a Japanese restaurant (owned/operated by Chinese) can hire Chinese only.

@TheN0remac Now the government of Canada provided funding for some punk band. Their album cover depicting the bible. It was labeled "Holy Shit" instead of "Holy Bible" and "Poo Testament" instead of "New Testament". Can can you imagine the outburst it would have caused if it was making fun of the Q'uran, or any other foreign text. Hell self defeatist whities would have jumped all over the "hate crime".
Why? Because we are ruled and manipulated by folks like Weiner up there.

@TheN0remac unfortuneatly not one iota of a clever retort from you, but twas to be expected. As for being a jew hater, naw more like admire. (cont).
Here's a question, how do you prevent a nation like Germany from ever happening again? Simple, keep the people divided, invoke feelings of guilt and self hating of one's own culture. Its why history makes no big deal of the 10+ million plus Chinese slaughtered by the Japenese (including IMPALEMENT). Yet everything WW2 is holocaust.

@MyHairyLeftNut As for being a Jew Hater? Its more like admiration.
Check it out, Nicene Accord, Christians can't practice Usury. Which leaves only one group of people to do so in Europe, the Jews. That one event, that one decision left these people to become the wealthiest on earth. Folks like the first Rothschild went from rags to riches just by being a money exchanger (ofc ripping people off, but you can't get rich without doing this). In a few gens, they were wealthier then any nation.

You see America is hated because (despite the fact you have more then 30 million employed), you send billions to Israel to do the very exact same thing :P

@TheN0remac you see what makes Jewish people better? They're not looking after anyone but themselves, and their own agendas. They have rogue nations, coincidentally? in all Christian founding countries.
And while the whities fail and bend over backwards for everyone else in this world, they're building their own little homogenous country kicking out Philipenos and what not that don't belong :P

@TheN0remac or lets not forget about the Trotsky's. Russian Jews that were responsible for the deaths of 5+ million Russians leading up to Stalin and Communism?
Why else would AIPAC have such influence in USA? When they consist of 2% of the population? LOL. A pity America let it get to that. I'm sure the founding fathers would be rolling in their graves.

@TheN0remac oh and btw, from the Canadian PM Stephen Harper who said "Canada will support Isreal no matter the political cost" (eg loosing a seat on the UN security council to Portugal, how embaressing). And once re-elected, he wants to make it so that one's internet activities can be monitered at all times without permission from the ISP, without warrent to prevent "hate crimes". Eg one could go to jail for 2 years for posting a link to Israeli Apartheid. Who's he working for I wonder?

Although I disagree with your statement that ALL relationships and marriages are based on lies, I do agree with most of your other points.:-) People seem to think that being married somehow changes you or your relationship into something special, but the truth is if it wasn't special before, it shure as hell won't be after. Everyone can get f*ing married, but not everyone are fit to run a country. And many married folks are just as depraved as the rest of us, but use their marriage as camoflage.

@freaknr1
I should clarify. I said that healthy marriages are based on trust and sacrifice. In other words, to have a healthy marriage, you have to put your spouse's needs before your own.
I think married people tend to want other married people repesenting them and their country because they understand this dynamic. Obviously, no marriage is healthy all the time and a lot of people get married for self-fulfillment and have no intention of living sacrificially for their spouse.

I pretty much disagree with everything you said here, Bob. You've got an extremely narrow view of what married life is like. And, no, "Married with Children" is not an accurate portrayal. Healthy marriages aren't based on white lies. They are based on trust and sacrifice.
I had to check this out because I normally enjoy hearing what you have to say about movies and video games, but I'm happy to blacklist American Bob.

Pretty good show as always, but I personally think the animated background is rather distracting. Looking at your other shows, they usually have rather nondescript, one color, faded out backgrounds that don't take away from the load of pictures you use in your presentations. I think a stationary flag would be alright but the moving seems uneasy.

While I really liked the point you were making, the hate on people in relationships was a bit unnecessary. If you are in a relationship, where most of your time is spend trying to think up lies to appease your gf-monster, you may want to consider ending it. My spouse is the only person I don't need to lie to.
Anyway. Overall you are right to say that relationship status shouldn't matter in your professional life.
