What I'd like to know is how to make my views known to the Big Giant Heads at YouTube, so I can make it clear, I'm in the market for all the videos like this. This censorship is insane. If you watch something you don't like, take my advice

CHANGE THE CHANNEL!!!!!!

What do these people use to fill...

@thegreenapple33 Care to point the rest of us ignorant peons to the font of your wisdom, oh, great and knowledgeable one?

Christian, n., one who follows the teachings of Christ, insofar as they are not inconsistent with a life of sin.

Ambrose Bierce, in The Devil's Dictionary

Brilliantly simple. I'm from Puerto Rico and I can remember growing up thinking it was hilariously queer that bars and other private businesses that catered to gatherings of people would prohibit religious and political discussions because we are so fervent about our opinions and beliefs that we ...

This shit was so far ahead of its time, it's hysterical. It's STILL ahead of its time, even now. A standout for parody.

You didn't do badly. Try affixing the magnifier in a vise or some such device, and keep youself away from the camera to reduce jiggle.

The rotation of the mercury is visible, by the way.

@MotorCityMonster2012 Simple. Look up the word irrational.In wikipedia, there is, under the word "irrationality" a very enlightening introduction to the basic concepts in the first couple of paragraphs.

C'mon, do some legwork, willya?

Hilarious! I love the way they had the sharks windmilling their fins as they struggled for the words to describe the taste....

A knee-slapping riot!

Eat both pieces, indeed.....

Brilliant.Terrific analogy with religion as filter.As a child, I never bought this foolishness.I once felt moved to, but upon reflection, realized I wasn't doing it because I felt it was right and true,but because someone else mediated.So,as a result, I am now a militant agnostic.I don't know and...

@lordbrooky I checked in just to see if I was wrong about these double-talkers.......Why 100? And not 67? Or 116?

Seems to me that studying science is a lot like studying the bible, or language, or any other endeavor. You learn how stars develop heavier elements AFTER you learn what fusion is......

@skind9119 I think what he was trying to say was that any scheme we humans come up with that includes execution for non-compliance-and, by the way, I include that threat of execution, torture and other sundry indignities exemplified by the notion of hell-is a morally bankrupt system of thought.

...

@wblakesx Thanks for pointing this out. I had no idea, I'm so historically challenged. I read the Wiki on Petty and realized that the subsidies given in America to various enterprises-agriculture, defense(indirectly) and financial institutions, to name but a few-are much like Petty's "keep 'em em...

@JungleJargon First, the fact that you dodged the question shows you don't know enough about your chosen subject to explain it to anyone,let alone a ten-year old. Second,by saying a genome has limited information, thus limited possibilities isn't saying anything new or phenomenal; you're only say...

I have lived as an American outside of America, in various countries, for over half of my life. In my experience, people seemed to be delighted to interact with me, so I can only hope I presented an alternative to some of the ignorance, arrogance and often stupidity I witnessed on the part of vis...

Oh, yes, you are one funny woman. Classic send-up of ignorant foreigners. My Mandarin is insufficient to understand all but a few choice phrases, but the translation for "fuck you" was priceless and unmistakable.

Thank you for making this old man start his day off with a good laugh, dear!!

@elmotouchesme97 And that fear, that terror, of insignificance has the weaker among us throwing in their lot with psychopaths who think that significance is based on their organismic "success", or ability to survive and thrive. Thence cometh all war, misery and sorrow, as we inevitably emulate th...

Oh, one more thing. Saying that all this is "proof" god exists is like referring to the poem "Lines on the Antiquity of Microbes" and saying, "See? Thar she be..."

Google the poem. It's actually kind of charming.As are you.

Please continue.

@burlong01 Maybe the limit is self-imposed.

Speculative Fiction writers have occasionally featured our existence in terms of schooling, in which, eventually, and for a variety of reasons, we are "introduced" to higher learning...graduated, if you will.

I admit to a yearning for a mentor which wil...

@bandjsellars Oh, bugger. And here I was all ready to sell my chattels and join the pastafarians.

Holy smokes this is some mad shit. I had no idea that physics had progressed so much.

I'm glad to see some of you here are pretty open-minded and choose to chew it over with each other instead of AT each other. As for the those of you who are still struggling with fear, well. at least you came h...

@SixFootTallMidget Try to find a couple of books by the author, Ferdinand Lundberg. One is "Americas' Sixty Families"

and "The Rich and the Super Rich"

While these were published some time back, they clearly show the thinking and planning that has contributed to bringing America-and the world-to ...

How about this, for all of you struggling with the notion of intelligence...

Intelligence is what you have; smart is what you do with it.

To be scientifically literate-or, at least, functional-means you don't buy the device that creates a tornado going into your car's engine and gives you 200 mpg...

Considering the facts that we have meddled in societies which have traditions older than our nation, often by factors of a dozen (including long, long recollections of such insults...) it never fails to mystify me how Merkins can continue to claim ignorance of the motivations others have for stri...

@orlando9321 I know, I know. that's where I picked it up....wasn't that the tits? What a great way of putting it.

Thanks for reminding me, too. I knew I should have bookmarked the damn page.

I'm going to download it for a friend, too.

@kramdoog Thank Dog for freedom of speech, I say.

@xlsyor That is why we have, in my opinion, poetry and art. Religion is certainly poetry, but falls flat attempting to be rational and compete with rational systems of thought, like science, which is its own "religion".

@Clarkorama007 Of course, you realize that by removing all safety labels, you will be providing comedians with material for the next couple centuries....? Could this be the next great financial bubble?

I like those last words of hers; debauchery and murder. Sounds an awful lot like what we have ...

@bachthoven1685 I honestly can't figure out what it is about this information that is so opaque to so many people. I keep harkening back to the scene in The Matrix, where Morpheus describes how inured most people are and dependent on the system.

Pick up a copy of Catch-22, when you have chance. T...

Daily we're treated to TV invasions into our minds with images of degradation and atrocities against innocents the dark ages would thrill to and a squirrel gives everyone a cerebral hemorrage?

Are you whining nincompoops for real?

Lighten up. The squirrel wasn't martyred for any of your idiot re...
