Comparing Yourself To Others Pt.1 - Dennis Prager

Dennis Prager may be the greatest man of our time. his clarity on the great issues of life has earned him a very special place in the hearts of many.

In this, he discusses the issue of Comparing yourself to other people. You shouldn't, but people do it anyways. And he quotes the mother of his best friend Joseph, Helen, "The only happy people I know are people I don't know well"

Once you get to know people, you know a whole host of issues that affect them and their lives daily, and it should humble you to know that you are not exceptional to life's problems.

Yet another Prager video that is no longer available. What is going on with this? Is this Youtube censorship or the individual who posted it? Or is it copy write infringement?

[katoanga]

I think one reasons has to do with the fact that prager university will be launching soon, and they want all traffic diverted in that direction.

[brucerby]

The comments attacking Dennis Prager show just how uninformed and ignorant people can be. ANYBODY who has listened to Dennis Prager for even ONE WEEK will know what a fair open-minded host he is. He is, imo, the most profound radio host on the air today - he really has no competition.

[gamestopnate]

Absolutely true. Prager is (and I hardly ever use this word frivolously) a genius. I almost always do say, however, say to those that have never heard Dennis before that if the world was a village, Dennis Prager would be one its wise men.

Turn off the background music! I can't hear!

[YSV Rao]

Jeez ,how did everyone get from happiness and roots thereof to bailouts,tarps and slavery?

Lighten up people!

I am not averse to heated political debates but this is not the place for it.

Let us try and keep some places a politics free zone regardless of ones ideological inclinations

Full disclosure:Im a right wing pitbull!

[marksuave25]

Pomiferous. Your wrong! Tarp passed in the house 223-205. That's not bipartisan dumbass. You are probably a bush supporter.

[Pomiferous]

The Tarp actually had bipartisan support.Unlike the stimulis and health care one sided, monsterous, crap

sandwiches.

[bobcrunch]

Bush approved of TARP, not any bailouts. Virtually all TARP funds were repaid with interest. People confuse TARP with bailouts. TARP funds were used to help financial institutions through temporary liquidity problems. However, Democrats never returned the TARP refunds to the Treasury. They retained them as a slush fund. Democrats were responsible for ALL bailout funding that just disappeared without a trace. The Democrats and Obama screwed GM bondholders in behalf of GM unions.

[bobcrunch]

Government bailouts are a totally different matter. Previously, you’ve never brought up that factor. GM should have gone through formal bankruptcy procedures. AIG was a HUGE contributor to Obama. The bailouts didn’t cure the underlying problems. GMs main problem was management giving in to union pressure for the sake of political expediency. Government meddling was the main culprit to the present (if not all) economic problems. California has recently added over 450 more regs.

[bobcrunch]

I would judge that you've never had a serious conversation with a "Right Winger" in your life. You live in the Left-wing bubble suffered by elitist, insular Lamestream Media and Academia who only talk with each other and dismiss all outside opinions. Maybe if you listened to Dennis for a while it would have some influence. Most of our problems are self caused. You’ll continue to be very unhappy if you believe that all your problems are caused by outside forces.

[bobcrunch]

The reasons jobs are shipped overseas are government taxes and regulations. US corporate taxes are the highest in the world. The flat-earth, no-growth, Leftist lunatics have made it difficult for businesses to operate in the US. Polits. of both parties may be a problem, but there is no hope in the Dem. Party. It has been seized by Leftist lunatics. If you get involved with Reps., there is at least a chance. The Tea Party has had great success influencing Reps.

[bobcrunch]

Jobs are lost because of excess government regulation and taxes. The conservative states are booming (comparatively). States like TX, SD and FL are all doing well. CA is losing population and jobs. Intel declined to make over $1B investments in CA and instead invested in OR, NV, and AZ. Liberal states like MA, NY, NJ, and IL are shrinking and going broke. Leftism is a failure. Even Europe is waking up. The Left destroys wealth. See the Milton Friedman vids. Are polits. not greedy?
