Since this video was produced, the function described in it has been removed form YouTube so don't get upset that it's no there when you go lookin for it :)

As it turns out, the person who inspired this talk turned out to be a woman so I actually am now leaning less towards (question his motives) and more towards (emotional reactions of an abuse victim).

I'll tell ya, I spent around 3 hours on this video. I recorded it over an over an over trying to get the take that I wanted. I found it imposible to cover every detail I wanted to cover in under ten minutes without editing. I wanted this to be a single take though so I had to leave a great deal of material out. I could prolly do an entire hour on just this topic so when I watch it I see holes here and there that I think need to be addressed.

If you would like to ask questions in the comments section I will do my best to respond to them for at least a while.

I disagree, I think there is in fact a chance that YouTube does promote that stuff or whatever the case is. i'l use your example if I were to call someone a faggot there is a chance that I am literally calling someone who is gay a faggot and am not over compensating a thing.

[thechurchofdave]

@N1nj4Sk1llz420 Oh I will completely agree that there is a chance that you calling someone a faggot could result in you actually slamming a gay person with an insult directed towards gays. On purpose or accidental.

The fact still remains though that your use of that terminology has a "tendency" to reflect insecurities within yourself. The old "I am rubber you are glue..." thing is sort of about that. People tend to throw insults which are about things they fear within themselves.

i haven't seen this guy before today & this video, that disclaimer aside: this guy has a well presented case here, & it is thoughtfully presented.

I have learned from this, & appreciate the lesson on human discourse as suggested. Well spoken. "if the truth can be told, so as to be understood, it will be believed." - Terrence McKenna

@Karmathejedi1701 Oh man, hehe I wouldn't get too excited cuz most of my stuff is a bit, over the top shall we say? heheh I toned this one down quite a bit so the style would not conflict with the topic. I do appreciate the kind words though.

word. but let me bottomline this for you and correct me if i'm worng. We should step out of the fear of what others think of us because it doesnt matter.We should express what we feel and believe.We should also allow everyone else to express their opinions and goals even if they differ from ours.And we shouldnt impose our beliefs on anyone else, always respecting free will.

[thechurchofdave]

I agree. I simply question those who go beyond an opinion and into extreme behavior using the opinion as a rational for the behavior. I see a distinction between opinion and behavior.

Hi Dave, I like normal Dave, At first all the tatoos and rings I wasn't going to watch but not really being bias that way, just a little scared of the unusual, I gave it a shot. Your cool. Just a little message from a little old lady. Stay Cool. bye

Science has learned recently that contempt and indignation are addictive mental states. I mean physically and chemically addictive. Literally! People who are self-righteous a lot are apparently doping themselves rhythmically with auto-secreted surges of dopamine, endorphins and enkephalins. Didn’t you ever ask yourself why indignation feels so good?

You definitely have an influence on me now. I am looking within myself now, a lot more clearly. DAVE. I am now willing to see and forgive my own mistakes. And others. I see.

This video was way different without the loud voice and the crazy faces. But, at least you made your point. Peace out.
