@StayFlyStephanie All of my videos could use some naked Zac Efron.

All right, I'm going to talk about the nationalism question. I'd say that in the coming years, nationalism will not just die out. I think it'll come back with a vengeance for a few years, probably thanks to those who believe in functionally obsolete ideas, but it can be ridden out and I think it will die down then. Nationalism's last stand. Oh, sweet baby Jesus of Latter Day Saints...

@PolesitterPictures I'm pretty much in love with what you wrote. Because it's true. And because of the "thanks to those who believe in functionally obsolete ideas" phrase is just... such perfect wording.

@hellolover99 :D I'm glad that I could create such a satisfying and truthsome statement.

Also, as something of an aside, a friend of mine postulated that all freedoms fall under either "Freedom to Know" and/or "Freedom to Act". I thought that was interesting, because almost all of our rights fall under Freedom to Act in the Western world, but close to none in "Right to Know".

@PolesitterPictures I never thought about it that way. Hm.

This is a really interesting video. I'm actually reading 1984 now as well, so I think I am going to wait until I've finished the book to give you a full response.

I prefer to get my news from social networking sites. I know which sources are reliable and which are not.

I think freedom is being allowed to believe what you want with respect to scientific facts. If that makes sense. I'm also not so sure about that though. I need to think about it more.

@hellolover99 Neither did I until we had an impromptu Philosophy Club session together with another friend of mine. But there it is.

@dragafirefly That's really interesting. I never thought of freedom as having different forms. I thought it was this sort of all-encompassing thing.

@TheMinuteVlog But what about God, and faith and things of that sort?

@Nsnick88 Facebook was really close to not being included, but, it informed me about Amy Winehouse, so, I figured I owed it that at least. Other than that, I found a fake J.K. Rowling quote there. And, sometimes I TRY to educate my facebook friends, and have at time succeeded. :P
