Terry Pratchett on Why we need to believe in things...

vil says...

I saw this whole movie and its not bad.

The books are great.

You have to believe in something to have a goal in life but you need to pick well.

Justice and mercy (opposites in a way, no?) are IMHO good things to hope for, hoping to prove election fraud is like praying your neighbors goat should die. Morals and politics are a personal choice. Morals are what you hope to be and politics are what you hope the world around you will be.

Pratchett does a good job explaining to kids that its how you change yourself is more important than how you change the world.

The universe offers entropy.

Lethal Injections: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

BSR says...

I recovered a suicide victim from a hotel a few years ago. A female doctor who used helium as her method. So, I took that as doctor recommended.

If you become suicidal, think for a second. If you have the power to destroy the world, then you MUST have the power to save it. It will change your world.

If you are pro death penalty, give the helium method a try. You can buy it online.

Sheriff Caught On Bodycam Telling Deputies To Lie

kEnder says...

Watched 3:59 and interpreted that differently. Debatable whether the officer intended to lie or knew the camera was on. I'm happy that officer refused to compromise the truth.

I'm with you there on the worthless off switches, let's hope information changes our world for the good.

"Body cameras with on off switches are worthless for the public, whenever there's something they want to hide cops just claim it was off...trust them.

Art of Police Cover Up - Recorded Hiding Evidence

Drachen_Jager says...

This is the way of banana republics and the United States.

Practically every other industrialized country has better police oversight. This is why so many police interactions end in death. They do favors for the DA's office, then when they get in trouble, the favor is returned.

And, your boy in the White House just erased much of the oversight Obama installed to try and curb some of this shit.

But, nice way to change the world to fit your personal worldview rather than accepting that you might be wrong.

Good Video.

Dog Feels Petting Instead of Abuse For The First Time

transmorpher says...

Like I said above, it's not about guilt, it's about making people aware that they have the power to change the world for the better.

Word of advice, if you want to try to convince people of something, don't use guilt logic as your weapon. When you guilt some one their instinct is to go defensive, not to listen with open ears.

Dog Feels Petting Instead of Abuse For The First Time

transmorpher says...

I'm trying to point out(and failing obviously lol): If we feel so bad for this poor dog, why do we turn a blind eye to farm animals that are mistreated and killed? They all feel pain and have emotional responses just the same.

We all like eating meat and butter, but is that worth the animals suffering and dying for it? (especially when there are some great alternatives. Nut butters, coconut butters, cashew spreads you name it, margarine at worst case) That's a decision for you to make. :-)

If a dog beater told you that "animals kill each other in nature all the time" would you accept that answer? Would that stop you from feeling bad for the dog?

When someone at the Yulin dog festival says "it's my tradition" or "I like the taste" do you accept that?

Then why do we make the same statements for cows? (don't worry, I remember yelling "lions tho" at vegans, so I'm not pointing fingers)

I just want to raise awareness about the horrors of animal agriculture and it's knock-on effects to the planet. And that we have a choice, and the power to change the world. We don't need to wait for governments or laws, we can make this change now, ourselves and there are no down sides, only wins.

It's just a matter of changing a few ingredients

Dogs = good
Trying to make me eat hummus instead of butter? = bad?

Idk, I don't think the two are as related as you imply. Either way, animals kill each other in nature all the time. You think if I didn't throw a lobster into a pot of water it'd die of old age? He'd probably get ripped apart slowly by a sea turtle.

^see how that doesn't sound like a conversation about abusing dogs anymore?

Post script: for the record, I believe the most humane way to kill a lobster is by driving a knife through the head quickly, NOT throwing it into the pot of water alive. I'm not for animals suffering, but I like eating meat and butter. The artery clogging is the animals paying me back. So it's all even.

The Material That Changed The World

Penn Jillette on many many things

poolcleaner says...

psychotic power hungry people have always ruled the world and it's really difficult to stop them because they're sneaky lying fucks that can say anything they want and have a mass of idiot supporters back them?

people that aren't ruthless lying scum, on the other hand, get taken advantage of and have no hope of changing the world because they're not sneaky enough to charm the masses?
