I was about to rant about the woman texting at 01:23 but you saved me from wasting my time.

Its a paradox.

His brain is more useful than yours ( taking into account his work) which would NOT make him a zombie.

He got burnt by fire once and he survived so he MUST be a zombie.

But hey, its your opinion. Keeping spreading hatred. The world lacks it.

(in case you didn't realize I'm fighting you with your own medicine: ignorance, idiocy and hatred)

[UzmanN5]

dumb argument

[shodanxx]

he mentioned in his other videos that he had terrible burns but I guess he assumes everyone knows by now since he has been making videos since 2006

Probably all people live on stolen land... I guess if you go back through the history of any nation you'll see that at some point it was ruthlessly stolen from the indigenous people. So in that respect none of us can talk about honesty then.

Jacque Fresco said: "Where do you think we got this land from? We took it by force and violence from the Indians. After we stole all the land we needed, they put up the sign "Thou shalt not steal." What is true of America is true of all the other countries."

haha I felt like this was in part "Stump the Pro." "Go ahead, bring up anything pertaining to the topic and see if I can't explain it through experimental data."

What a BAWSS

you might want to listen to 28:03 again.

1) he never says that he is exempt from this issue that affects us all

2) the issues surrounding Israel are very complex, and what does one person trying to live in a place he considers home have to do with "honesty"? maybe he's trying to do his part to resolve the issue in some way, and maybe he's not, but what would either of those things have to do with "honesty"?
