Noam Chomsky - The Atheist Experience #329

The hosts discuss Noam Chomsky's ideas as they listen to an audio clip about his book "Manufacturing Consent". Notice how Keryn seems more than disinterested in the topic. Keryn Glasser, Martin Wagner, and guest Allan Campbell host this clip from The Atheist Experience #329 - http://www.atheist-experience.com

Miss Glasser is pretty hot

@ecnerwal999 YES! Social Security has killed billions! *for the record, that was sarcasm*

Same goes for nationalized healthcare in Canada. The Canadians are so healthy because their medical system kills 'em when they get sick hence leaving only healthy Canadians around.

Socialism is one thing, communism and totalitarianism is another. Look it up. They're in the dictionary.

Should have called this episode "A moment spent fondling Noam Chomsky's balls"

@garrywarne1 It's because socialism is a fucking pipe dream and would never, and has never worked in practice. It's like us deciding we're just going to live in paradise. Tell that to the criminals.

@TheBoxingCannabyte Amen. :D

@meaninter03, Nuh-uh! Fox news says socialism=satanism and taking a small portion of everyone's money to distribute it is evil! Except when we do it to militarize our planet in the name of American Jesus, of course.

Ha Ha...Martin likes football

@meaninter03 For what it's worth, communism (which, as defined by Karl Marx, is a stateless, classless society) has nothing to do with totalitarianism, it is in fact a form of anarchy. Socialism has killed many people, but that is because it has been executed poorly, Socialism is too broad a thing to dismiss because of previous nations which have misused it, if it were. Then the same argument could against any political system at one point or another.

@aMagicalUnic0rn The poor commenters name is magical unicorn. Perhaps he watches My Little Pony, because he was ignored as a child and now seeks to restore part of his past by filling it in with MLP, or maybe he just feels the need to poke fun at religious people to make himself feel as if he is more powerful than he actually is.

High school football is distracting from education in schools and DOES encourage collectivist views and submission to authority!

[Faerlon123]

@Shavarnarak I agree with Chomsky on many points, but on certain foreign policy opinions I don't. I like when he says we should take responsibility as a state, for our own actions, be they immoral, which absolutely true. But nonetheless, America as the most powerful nation in the world, does in fact, contrary to what people think, have a moral obligation to help other nations in their quest for freedom and democracy. The mode with which it is done is not always what it should tho.

The poor female is being ignored while the alpha male of the trio is just interested in impressing the guy next to him (who is sucking up to the alpha male so much anyway!)
