  • Great video. Ah crap. I can just hear people saying "Sagan or Dennet quote mined", while ignoring that they kept the meaning or "you're quote mining scripture and using it out of context".

  • Yes. I get that all the time. I quote scripture and someone accuses me of quote mining and I look at the context but that doesn't change the meaning at all.

  • Nice video!

  • @pakratmak Yeah, I agree.

  • What's in a name? A dishonest person is still a dishonest person, whether they accomplish their goals of deceit through outright, bald-faced lies or through more subtle perversions of the truth to mislead the gullible and less perspicacious. They deserve no respect and are purveyors of evil. Another good video!

  • In conclusion what you are talking about appears to me as being what news paper headlines are all about (well in many cases). I'll bet you had to do more then one take in the first part of your video so as to keep a straight face when talking about the anal handshake...hahaha, that people actually believed that made me lol. Good video as usual, thanks.

  • excellently said. Great ending.

  • I submit to you that a person who knowingly quote mines is in fact a liar.

  • Good stuff!

  • great vid mate
